December 2024 we asked for a lease extension which we do yearly. Typically, we hear back within a few weeks. We never heard anything and had to keep asking...Toby Soto and Susy Parrot were nothing but non-communicative. When they did communicate we were harassed...daily. I have the text messages to confirm. I had to block their text line. We moved out in March of 2025. They've since tried listing the property that has termites that have not been treated, has carpenter bees, the back fence is falling down and there are rats everywhere because of the ivy growing between properties at 1690 juniper in Solvang for $4200 over $1200 more than we were paying. There are birds that live inside the attic and the plumbing all backs up monthly. The property isn't renting...as it's in awful shape. It has brick floors which tore all of our feet up over the 5 years we lived there...a small kitchen, the bathtub & "master shower" which is the size of a beach shower both back up monthly and many other problems. They tried to say we stole the washer and dryer in the unit which we replaced and were told we could replace because they don't keep accurate records. They tried to send us notices to clean the carpets professionally before moving out. There are NO carpets in this home. Brick and old outdated wood. Again they don't keep accurate records. They didn't even have our move in inspection on file. Surprise!! I have it still. Thank god! The fridge/fridge sucks and needs to be replaced as well as the dishwasher and stove/oven. There is no microwave in the unit, don't know why they're listing it with one . The garage door also needs to be replaced. There is a leak somewhere in the walls between the master and hall bath and it creates a leak in the floor boards which we were cited for even with a request to fix and photos back from 2020. Tried saying it was from going in and out of the shower/bath when we not once in 5 years used the master shower and the damaged was on the other side of the toilet and an unfinished maintenance request from 2020. They've since lowered the price to $3900. DO NOT RENT THIS PROPERTY FROM THEM or any property from plus property. They are not honest people nor do they care about anything but money. We're working with a lawyer and have also reported them to the BBB! Hopefully saving others from this disaster.

Highly recommended. WHY?…read moreMy property in Los Alamos could not be in better hands. Over the past years their care and attention to both me as an owner and to my tenants has been exemplary. It's the small details that matter. There has never been a problem with the small details. They have always been professionally on top of any possible problem that could and does happen in rental situations. I have never had any reason to complain and (even better for me) I have never had one complaint from any of my tenants over the 16 years I have been using this service.

I was looking for rental information in Santa Maria, and she went above and beyond to provide detailed, thoughtful insights that were extremely helpful. It's rare these days to come across someone who truly cares and takes the time to help, even when there's nothing directly in it for them. Her kindness and expertise really stood out, and I won't hesitate to reach out again or recommend her to others. Thank you again, Stacy--you made what could have been a stressful experience into a smooth and positive one!

Scott and Rosie are friendly, personable, hard-working, and always willing to help. Whenever we had a maintenance issue, they always resolved it in a timely manner.

Without a doubt, Preferred Property is the best in town.

In my recent search for a rental residence, applications were submitted to this office for myself,…read morean adult grandson and an adult granddaughter. My grandson and I, but not my granddaughter, were approved to view possible homes. The reason given was because of her credit report. She does have a negative credit history, as she has been diagnosed with several medical issues that prevent her from seeking employment. When I inquired as to whether we would be acceptable, if she no longer was to reside with us. The answer given by the receptionist was that only Scott could make that decision, and she would make that inquiry for us. When I phoned again four days later to learn what his answer was, I was now told that I would have to personally meet with him to learn his decision. However, I was advised that he was not available at that time. I left many phone messages after that, but none were ever returned. Several weeks later, after I had finally accepted that I would not have further access to their services, I received a phone call from this office. I was told that there was a home in Mission Hills for rent where all three of us would be accepted as tenants. When I referred to their previous decision regarding my granddaughter, I was reassured that she would be approved. When I viewed the home, I began to realize what was going on. This particular rental had been available for an unusually long time, and I could see why. It was a horrible place to call home. First of all, it is in Mission Hills, which is not the most desirable residential area. The tour revealed a kitchen that was a disaster, as were both the front and back yards. Just to prove my suspicions, I inquired as to whether there were any other rentals that would accept my granddaughter. The response to that, of course, was that there were none. It didn't take a genius to see that they needed to get renters for this unpleasant residence and, hopefully, I would be desperate enough to make that possible. Otherwise, they would have explained why all three of us were acceptable here, but not in any other rental. My granddaughter could not contribute financially and our source of income would remain the same, regardless of where we live. I will never do business with this agency again, and I warn anyone else considering such an association to be very careful! Look for deceit and dishonesty under their artificial posturing! If you are looking for a super rental office, try Plus Property. These ladies are wonderful and so helpful every step of the way. They really want to work with you and willingly keep you advised as to the current rental market. They are always agreeable to appointments for viewing available homes.

It took them a week to respond to our initial request (and then we got a lame reason for the delay.). We didn't get a readable copy of the contract, weren't told they'd be holding the tenant's security deposit money and mis-wrote who was responsible for taking care of any repairs. That along with other things we weren't advised of. When looking for a new manager, I suggested that since the home was in Santa Maria, we should use a Santa Maria property manager. After looking at several on Google, I liked the services that Advantage said they offered. The main reason they got the contract was that they returned our initial call within 90 minutes and second call almost as quickly (You don't get a second chance to make a first impression.). One thing they offer is an early pay list to get us our rent early (since we need it well before the 15th of the month to pay the mortgage). They have lived up to that commitment as well as promptly introducing themselves to the tenant as the new manager and addressing and or bringing to our attention any property issues (and letting us decide if we want to use our house warranty and/or pay with OUR credit card). They also took the initiative to arrange for them to pay our landscaper monthly rather than us write and mail a check.
