Kristine Abbey and her team at Rockaway Residential Management were truly a lifesaver for our…read morefamily. When our mother moved into a care home, my siblings and I were suddenly responsible for managing her rental property--and we had no idea where to begin. Thankfully, Kristine stepped in and took care of everything, giving us complete peace of mind. Any issues that came up were handled promptly and professionally. From advertising the property and thoroughly screening tenants to conducting annual inspections and keeping everything in top shape, Rockaway covered every detail we wouldn't have known how to manage on our own. Most importantly, their expert, compassionate management allowed us to focus on what mattered most: caring for our mom. The stress of handling a rental property disappeared once Rockaway was involved. We're so grateful for their guidance, reliability, and support during a stressful time. I truly can't recommend them highly enough.

This review is from the perspective of a tenant…read more I rented through Baywood Capital for a couple of years. Working with Josh and his team has been nothing short of a pleasure. The way that they handle property management in the interest of the landlord and the renter is nothing short of an impressive juggling act. Quick to communicate, remediate any issue, as well as a pleasure to interact with -- I would without hesitation consider them and their team of consummate professionals for any of my future rental, or investment property management endeavors.

I trusted Josh and honestly was betrayed…read more He was the first property manager I've hired and he didn't manage. All he did was collect rent and via email communicate one lease extension and then they went month to month on two plus years. I don't believe he ever checked on the condition of my property or if the lease terms were being followed. I know of two flagrant violations 1) no animals and a cat lived there the entire term of the lease openly and 2) no smoking which is also a Belmont City Ordinance. I was told they are "good tenants" which they were from a bill collectors perspective, however, horrible from a property owners perspective as they lived hard and the wear and tear on the unit was unacceptable including pot smoke lingering and making the unit filthy. Then there was the cat leaving animal mess behind when they vacated. I learned there was a leak on October 12, 2024 not by a phone call or direct message but being included on an email chain with the tenants! How unprofessional and this violated the entire principle of a property manager only having contact with tenants and what he was paid to do. From the discovery of the first problem I am aware of Josh was absolutely no help. He didn't manage the situation. Instead it was on. On me to deal with and coordinate access with the tenants to first get a leak detector in. He didn't offer any help. Left me high and dry! When I went to meet the leak detector I was appalled at the condition of my condo that had been fully renovated prior to the tenants. It was grimy and there was cat stuff everywhere and the cat walked up to me even to be petted. I called Josh very upset especially about the cat as my main point was no animals and this was not a service animal. He said they have forfeited their deposit by having the cat. When the tenants vacated , after asking for one more day, which we declined as I had set up - not buy the property manager, but myself Service Master and my insurance adjuster to meet me to start to deal with the leak from upstairs (from different condo owner) and repairs. When he showed up he said it wasn't bad ... They turned off the water days before vacating and left feces and urine in toilets, food on kitchen sink, tons of stuff in the garage , the floors where sticky from a party , the hall bath covered in hair - not sure if human or cat, tacks and tape everywhere on the walls , the new kitchen counters stained .... A drawer with pot debris. While the Farmers adjusters and Service Master there never once did he say I will coordinate as it's my job as property manager. We did agree for his guy- also there to haul away abandoned items - which wasn't even thorough. I had to ask him to return to complete. Then no phone call he emails me he is firing me. A blessing. But very unprofessional. Then he sent me my accounting the first of the year via email without salutation or closing with one word "okay"? In pulling together paperwork for insurance I realized I didn't have a copy of the one lease renewal. I emailed Josh for it ... waited 5 days later forwarded email to him with bookkeeper and maintenance guy with "second request" to finally receive. In interviewing and hiring a new property manager I realized I was not provided any service. I SHOULD RECEIVED A REFUND ACTUALLY!!! There should have been physical check ins on the property and its condition. The notification of a leak - major problem that took 5 months to remediate and repair - should have been handled by him as that is what his fee was for. After the tenants moved out he changed his tune on the deposit. He was advocating for them after telling me it was forfeited due to the cat - not to mention property condition from their hard aggressive living- that most of it needed to be returned. He kept saying the condition wasn't that bad. He was not advocating for my property but only the tenants. Swept under the rug the excessive wear and tear , damage , pot smoking and cat living there. Ironically one of those tenants now manages an apartment building. I'm sure her employer would find interesting photos of how my property was vacated.

Our family members visited the home we were interested in individually and multiple times. Each time John was happy to show us the house, explained different features and answered all our questions. We decided to make an offer. There was a gap between seller's expectation and our offer. John didn't rush and push us to buy. He worked very hard to negotiate with seller and reduce the gap. Because of John's hard work, we reached to a mutually agreed price with seller. Before closing, we wanted to purchase furniture and needed quite a lot measurement in the new home. Every time John made the effort to accommodate us in the house to do all kinds of measurement. He helped us moving out all stuff we don't want to keep in the basement of new home. John was extremely helpful during our purchase process. He always tried his best to accommodate us and address all our concerns. What's more, John went the extra mile in making sure we were happy with the new home purchase. We love the seller's outdoor statue. John ordered a similar statue for us as a gift. We really appreciate it! Overall, we had great experience working with John during the whole process, and very satisfied with our new home. I highly recommend John!

Unfortunately, having Amy Kong sell our house this time around was not positive. She did notice that we made substantial improvements to the house by turning a basement room into a full in law unit but did not list it as such , or recommend what we could do so it could be listed as a separate rentable unit. Other things that were not professional were, asking why we wanted multiple bids, asking if we would consider selling the house to her investor friends and not listing it. She was also a Dual Realtor, so she represented us the seller and the buyers as well.

His fees are reasonable, and the level of service we've received in return has exceeded expectations. When he stepped in, there were several unresolved issues left by our last manager. Chuck handled them quickly and thoroughly while keeping both us and our tenants informed. He built rapport with our tenants from the start, even introducing himself in person, which helped smooth the transition. Over the past year, Chuck has continued to manage the property with care. He strikes the perfect balance between independent problem-solving and keeping us in the loop, which we really appreciate. Chuck was transparent from the beginning and provided clear information about his services and contract terms--something that gave us confidence before we even signed on.
