I've been living in A Designation manage property for 6 years now and recently had a few things break down and each time they have fixed or replaced them immediately. This team don't mess around, they just get things done without delay. read more

One of the best management companies I've ever come across. You typically hear about horror stories about the lack of care from a management company when you're a tenant but not here. From Ben, Neena, Olivia and the rest of the team each person I've dealt with listen to the requests made and immediately act upon it to ensure tenants are comfortable and secure within their living quarters. I've had experiences with other management companies that won't care to follow up with requests or issues but rather blame individuals or make them live with the inconvenience and just collect their monthly rent. Great to work but even better people!! read more

I rented a beautiful, well-maintained Pasadena unit through DPM for almost two years. I never thought I'd write a glowing review for a property management company, but working with DPM/Neena/Lety has been an enjoyable experience at every step. They are friendly and fair with pricing/fixes, as well as easy to reach and very responsive to whatever you might need. Their response turn-around is quick and efficient, and their website makes payment and documentation very easy. Every service I needed was provided quickly and by a friendly local or company. read more

I'm the owner of a few houses and apartments in Eagle rock and Silver lake area. Recently I had to leave the US long term and I needed a good management company to take care of my properties (which I built and renovated myself as a General Contractor ) My properties are very close to my heart also because the freedom that they offer, it was my dream come true to own these. Unfortunately, The first Managment company which I hired was just not on top of things. During the first year out of the US I was suffering greatly hwhile working with that company , it was a fairytale dream turning into a nightmare . When I finally let them go I hired Neena and her team, letting them take over the mess. Right from the get go I felt the difference. Honesty, communication, reliability and hands on approach are just a few of the qualities Neena at Designation properties has to offer. Neena also inherited a challenging situation from the previous management company and she took it on like a pro, putting the pieces back together while giving me a chance to some true Owner peace of mind. I'm so grateful for having someone to trust with my assets, especially in my delicate situation. My actions speak louder than words, I left my most valuable properties, my life's work, in the hands of Neena and Designation Properties while permanently living 8000 miles away. I think that pretty much sums it up. read more

Recently moved in and handyman Joe Marino has been responsive, helpful and very friendly. Very happy with my move, the management and Joe.

5 stars all around. What a knowledgable, professional, personable team that exudes efficiency, transparency, simplicity (for an always complicated process), and charm. I had never heard of the group before, however I will recommend them highly to everyone I know. Shout out to Neena Dorigo who made my rental paperwork so easy, and BIG THANKS to Olivia Brink who made EVERYTHING else happen. read more

We are glad to have Neena as the property manager for the place we are leasing. Always professional, quick to respond and very communicative. Bonus points too for the easy-to-use online resident portal. Been a month since we first moved in-- thanks, Neena for guiding us through the process so efficiently and for the great experience so far. Would highly recommend any property handled by Designation Property Management. read more

I have leased a home for several years which Neena is the property manager and I can confidently state that she's the best property manager I've ever worked with. Whenever we have an issue, we can contact her via a website portal she's provided us or we can just text her directly and even at night or on the weekend, she replies right away and her communication is excellent. I don't think we've ever not received a same day response. When she's sent technicians to our house for service, they have always been extremely professional and done great work. I also like that she has a network of local businesses that maintain her properties instead of using big national chains. Neena is a pleasure to work with. If you're a property owner considering her services, I can't recommend her enough. And if you're a tenant at a property she manages, rest easy because you're in great hands. read more

Designation Management is great! Quick service via an easy to use maintenance portal online, as well as very friendly and reliable work from vendors like Joe and Ernie. Thanks Neena! read more

We rented our first house through Neena and she has been nothing but kind and prompt with any issues we've had. It was by far the best landlord experience I've had with a company. I hope to utilize her to manage our rental someday! read more

Designation Property in general and Neena in particular have been such a great experience for us as tenants of a gorgeous house in Los Feliz. All inquiries were answered in a timely fashion, all repairs or concerns addressed. And they did not increase our rent this year as many landlords did, which sealed the deal. You're in good hands here. Thank you Neena! Matt and Todd read more

I've lived in my rental unit in West Hollywood for 25 years now and have always been impressed with Neena and her team of contractors - specifically Joe Marino and Ernie as well. Recently there was water damage to the walls in the kitchen from leaking pipes (it's a 64 year old building). Neena's team had to replace much of the original Kitchen and worked with me to get Kitchen upgrades that I preferred instead of the minimum that they were required to do. The Kitchen came out great and I appreciate that it was upgraged to my liking and within my budget. I like the fact they will allow you to make improvements (with their approval) in the rental units. The contractors did a great job as well. Thanks Neena! :) read more

Neena is awesome! First time renter but have grown up and worked around property managers my whole life. I'm happy to have a good one! She is always quick to reply with thorough answers. She had also been very quick with requests and has always felt like we can communicate what we need. Would highly recommend any property she manages or to give her yours to manage! read more

Neena is amazing. She made our move-in process so lovely and smooth. Not only is she kind and attentive, she was and continues to be, in perfect communication throughout the whole process. Their website is great, and makes payment super straightforward and easy. We really appreciate all her help and we're very excited to be a tenant in one of her beautiful properties. The house we moved into is incredible. It's a very charming and cozy property. The layout and design is perfect, and the property itself is very well cared for. Also, the handymen Joe and Ernie are a breath of fresh air! Truly a pleasure to engage with them. They exude professionalism, positivity, and they're all around personable guys. I can't tell you how comforting it is to be affiliated with a company of people. I can't recommend them enough! read more

Neena took over management of my apartment earlier this year and she's been fantastic. As a tenant, I really appreciate how easy it is to get in touch with her and how quickly she responds. Most recently, I emailed her late morning on a Friday (yesterday) because of a clogged bathroom sink; she got in touch with a plumber immediately and by noon today (Saturday), it was taken care of. In my past experience as a renter, I've felt like it's a huge imposition to ask for repairs or to discuss any issues with owners and/or managers. However, Neena is always on top of things and doesn't make me feel like I'm creating a burden for her. I have zero intention of moving from where I am, but if I have to for some reason I hope she's my next property manager. Oh, HUGE PLUS - I'm able to auto-pay my rent online via her website every month, which is a surprisingly rare convenience (at least in my experience as a renter in Pasadena for the past 20 years). read more

I would like to recognize a "Handy Man" named "Joe" that came to fix a light fixture. Now only was Joe VERY fast and efficient he did a great job. Appreciate the speedy reliable service. read more

Neena has been very attentive and professional from our first visit of the unit to addressing any issue we might have encountered since we've moved in. Everything is always on point, the property is well maintained. She is responsive and efficient property manager. We are very happy all around. Jeremy and Lauren read more

As property owner and consultant, I appreciate when someone goes above and beyond the call of duty. I've seen enough bad service out there to know when I'm dealing with a professional who is a problem solver, gets things done and makes money for her owners. Neena is amazing from A to Z. She'll treat you more like a partner than a client. Just put yourself in her capable hands and watch the magic happen. read more

I moved during the pandemic and the new place had the option of self showing. I ended up meeting Neena to see the place. She waited outside and was patient with me in the decision making process. She's a great communicator and very prompt! With any problem/need, she responds immediately with solutions. Her network for building maintenance is solid. She's also understanding and professional. If you want to ensure you and your place are cared for, you won't go wrong with Neena & her team. read more

My family has known Neena for many years. She became the property manager for our 7 unit townhouse in Glendale around 2010. She is friendly and very professional. Whenever we would raise concerns about anything in our unit, she would always make sure to take action that same day or within 24 hours of us contacting her. She always made sure to follow up with us whenever she put in a work order, to ensure that the plumber/electrician/etc. had arrived, that the job was done, and done with the standard that she would expect as if it was her own home. read more

My experience with Designation Property Management has well exceeded my expectations. All of my questions have been answered along with some questions I didn't even know to ask. Neena is very knowledgeable and great at planning for all manner of contingencies. She uses all of her hard-earned experience for the benefit of her clients. Neena is very friendly and down to earth with a perfect personality property management. Highly recommended! Thanks! read more

I've been using Designation Property Mgmt for over 3 years and the team of Neena and Lety have never let me down. They are prompt and very detailed. And most importantly they love what they do. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a property Mgmt company. read more

I have known Neena for years and wouldn't go anywhere else for a Property Manager. My past experience with property managers has been less than pleasant; requests often are ignored. Not the case with Neena! She goes the extra mile to take care of any problems that arise. She responds with a viable solution. She is professional and very knowledgeable about the housing market. Finding an apartment can be stressful but Neena's expertise lightens the stress. She genuinely cares about people and understands that your environment has an impact on your quality of life. read more

When Designation took over the management of our little building here in Atwater, I was pretty concerned. In the past, I've found that property management companies make you feel like there's a wedge between you and actually making sure the place stays in good shape. This is the first time I've encountered someone that seems to care. Neena is fantastic! When things do go wrong (which is rare), she's on top of it with quick communication and prompt, appropriate resolutions every time. I can tell that she understands both the tenants and owners side of things and makes sure everyone is taken care of. Quite a balancing act. Well done Neena and thanks for all your help! read more

My experience with Designation Property Management has been a true blessing. Neena is one of the most professional managers I have ever dealt with in Los Angeles and she goes beyond expectations. Neena made the move to our new apartment very easy and stress free. She is very prompt on emails and she makes sure everything is being handled. Neena is knowledgeable and knows exactly what's she doing. She's honest, punctual, and the best in the business. She genuinely cares for people and she even left us a gift basket on our move in day ! I highly recommend her!! read more

We have had the pleasure of working with Neena and her team on my mothers condo in Glendale, CA. The condo is old (built in the 60's) and was in need of several repairs before we could get it rented to a quality tenant. I scoured the internet trying to find a reputable property management company. There are several options out there, but it is difficult to find a company with a reputation for being experienced, honest, trustworthy, and reliable. Neena and her team have literally checked ALL of the boxes. She really does take the time to get to know her clients situation, what their specific needs are, and how she can put her expertise to work for them. From day 1, she has been in constant communication with us, keeping us informed of project timelines, providing specific input on needed repairs, and managing the day-to-day communication with all of the contractors. She even took the time to add her own personal touches with some of the interior details in the house (which was very much needed)! Once the repairs were completed, she wasted no time in getting it listed and put on the market for rent and within days she had it rented to a quality tenant. We are very grateful to Neena and her team for such a positive experience. It is indeed a wonderful feeling knowing that my mother and her property are in good hands. I would very highly recommend Neena and her team at Designation Property Management! read more

I met Neena approximately 2 years ago at a NARPM meeting. For those of you who don't know what NARPM stands for, it is the National Association of Residential Property Managers. In any event, It was my first time attending their meetings. Neena was the kindest and most friendly person in the room. She welcomed me with a big smile and instantly made me feel as though I was part of the NARPM family. Throughout the years, Neena and I have kept in touch and she encourages me to keep coming to the meetings. We discuss property management related issues and bounce ideas off each other. I enjoy speaking with her and getting her input on certain issues because she is extremely knowledgeable in the field. She is also extremely involved with NARPM. Neena used to work for another company and only recently opened her own, but she has been in the field for many years and I am certain she will offer great service in her own company. I strongly recommend you give her a try and I am pretty sure you will provide her with one of her next great reviews on Yelp! read more

Neena is the best! Everytime when my husband and I ask her to fix something in our apartment, she fixes it like magic. She responds to our emails or texts quick always. She is a hard worker not like the lazy managers that I had before! read more

I had such a positive experience with my rental experience--from applying to moving to renting to moving out! The property manager was always so communicative, kind, and helpful. I always felt taken care of and respected as a tenant. I also loved the property itself and had to move for personal reasons but I was sad to leave. But she also made my moving out process as simple and painless as possible, which was so appreciated! read more

I actually sell investment properties and help my clients rent their property if I have sold it to them. I do not do property management, however, Neena Doringo of Designation Property Management is a powerful manager. I refer my owners to her for property management and they are consistently grateful for the referral. She does what they don't really care to. She is consistent and prompt with repairs and her workers are efficient and charge reasonable prices because she uses them for all her properties. She also keeps track of upcoming rent increases and takes care of the appropriate paperwork. I am grateful to have someone to refer. read more

Neena has been really accessible and available for her tenants. She works on solutions in a timely fashion. I appreciate her hard work!

Designation Property Management took over management of my apartment complex at the beginning of 2018. They have been super great and quickly resolving maintenance requests and have an easy to use online rent portal. Neena always responds to calls and texts outside of office hours. She has been very attentive to our needs. read more

Neena and Designation Property Management are the best in the business. Neena has managed my client's properties and my personal investment properties for the past 7 years. She does a phenomenal job dealing with tenants and is extremely organized. She is extremely knowledgable about all aspects of management and is a wealth of information whenever I have questions. I feel very comfortable with her in control of some of my most valuable assets and look forward to building an empire with her! read more

My husband and I can't say enough good things about Neena. We were in a bind to find a new place that fit not only our specific needs and allowed pets. She went above and beyond. She is what you need in times of stress; someone quick to act and offer a smile. If you are looking for someone who is communicative, professional and also friendly she is the person for you. read more

My wife and I purchased our first investment home in California. Because we live in Arizona we needed a property manager we could trust to manage the home. Neena has exceeded our expectations. She is quick to respond, very experienced, professional, and knows how to get a home rented for top dollar. I highly recommend her services. read more

We are very fortunate to have DPM manage the building we rent from. Neena is truly amazing. She is prompt, responsible, and understanding. The landlord I had at the apartment I lived at before was a horror, so we truly value the professionalism with which Neena conducts her business. If I decide to invest in rental property, I will definitely have Neena manage it. read more

Great service from Neena. She is fast, friendly and professional. All my concerns are quickly addressed.

Some years ago I switched management companies for my apartments in Glendale and Neena was assigned to me. When we met, I'd just redone one of the units and her suggestions for that unit made made me wish I'd met her BEFORE I'd done the remodeling. After a year or so of fantastic service, she left the company and I was assigned to someone else. Night and day difference! Unfortunately for me, Neena's extreme professionalism and impeccable integrity prevented her from sharing with me the fact that she was leaving to start her own company. Searching for a better company after a couple of years of inferior service by her successor, I happened upon Designation Property Management and (I'll be darned) there was Neena!!! I reached out immediately and now we are back together again. I say this in full caps. I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER!!!! Neither will you be. We can all live happily ever after. Or just me. Your call. read more

I am a tenant at one of the properties that Neena manages and she always responds to our requests in an extremely timely and professional manner! My husband and I have had some difficult to deal with landlords in the past and it is SO refreshing and comforting to now have someone we can rely on who is also kind and understanding. I can't recommend her enough! read more

Neena is always super responsive. I had an issue with a kitchen light and she immediately responded and sent out a guy named Joe that fixed the problem on the first try. He was on time, knowledgeable, and clean. Not something I am used to with renting. Wonderful service. read more
