It's a relief to have such a great manager and neighbor!

He responded to any issues I was having and always made sure to help. When my fridge went out on a Fourth of July, he brought me a mini-fridge the next day and had a replacement fridge as soon as possible. He makes that place feel like a community, and not just a place to live. I would rent from them again in a heartbeat. I hope to make it back to the beach once all of this stuff is over. I am super bummed to leave the awesome spot I had.

I recently visited an open house hosted by Robert Realty in Point Loma, listed on Redfin as open…read moreuntil 3:00 PM. I arrived at 2:20, well within the posted hours, only to be turned away by the agent, who was already closing up. When I asked why the open house wasn't open as advertised, he casually responded that "those hours vary." What followed was even more disappointing -- he asked me, "Are you a buyer?" as if my right to view the property depended on giving the correct answer. It felt dismissive and unprofessional, and frankly, I was left wondering how many potential buyers are treated this way. If this is how Robert Realty handles public listings and prospective clients, I can't imagine the level of service they provide once you're actually in a transaction. Extremely unimpressed.

Mike at HomeShield was very easy to work with and is a great communicator. I always know how everything is going with my clients' homes' every step of the way. The 25% referral fee was not bad either! I like that they'll always keep me in the loop and won't try to poach a sale down the road because it's spelled out in their REALTOR Referral Guarantee and agreement.

However, after about a year, I messaged him to ensure that the property was being maintained - I wanted to schedule an HVAC inspection and other yearly maintenance. No response. I ended up contacting the tenants directly to schedule the inspection. After 4 months of zero communication with Mike or his staff, I had to fire him. When I hired a new manager, Mike failed to communicate with the new manager to transfer the lease and other information. It was troubling that he failed to communicate as I expected more professional conduct.

I recently relocated to San Diego and had been struggling to lease a condo. Every time a promising…read morelisting appeared, I'd learn a lease was already in process or I'd never hear back from the agent at all. I wasn't getting anywhere and decided I needed help from a local expert who knew the market, the local agents, and could advocate for me. Based on great reviews, I reached out to Downtown Condo Guys, got a call from Jamie Pullman within minutes, and we met the next day. Jamie was incredibly helpful--friendly, responsive, and proactive, with a great positive attitude. After sharing my wish list, he got to work right away and communicated with me daily. When a listing popped up early one morning that looked perfect and hadn't even hit the MLS yet, he contacted the agent immediately and we were touring the unit within 2 hours. He took it from there, handling all the communication, and after a very frustrating two months trying on my own, Jamie had helped me secure a lease on my dream condo less than 10 days after that first call, even negotiating a slightly better rate! I know I wouldn't have landed this place without him. Jamie made all the difference, and he continues to check in and make sure everything is going smoothly as I work with the owners on the move-in details. When it's time to move again, whether I lease or buy, he'll be my first call. Thanks, Jamie!

Although upon move out, she and my landlord decided to charge us $600+ for the INSTALLATION of a light fixture. I didn't mind paying to replace the fixture, as we removed it.

This is the worst Property Management company I have ever dealt with in my life! Avoid them like…read morethe plague. They are really nice when looking at the property and by telling you about all of the things they will do for you. They will check on this, they will let you know about that, they will do this for you, they will do that for you, it's all fine....blah blah blah... Then you hand them your security deposit and it's like a 180. First of all, the security is a large sum of money - pretty sure it was one and a half times the monthly rent. Do the math - if you apartment is around $2000 that is a lot of money you need to come up with up front. Think in the neighborhood of $5000 that you're handing them with your first month's rent. Then they are going to respond to NONE of your requests while you are living there. I asked several times for them to check on certain things. Phone calls would go unreturned. Emails would not be answered - except if Jennifer was in the loop. She's the admin and she would be very quick to answer. So while I'm there the garbage disposal was broken when I moved in, broke while I lived there, and was broken again when I moved out. I called a several times because the Hammer team tried charging me for the repair but Janet is never around and has no interest in returning phone calls. Seriously, who has time to call and call and call to get random charges reversed. The best part is that once I moved out I was told that my place would need some painting, cleaning, and carpet cleaning. The painting charge was $150, the carpet cleaning was $300 and the "janitorial" was $390. Are you kidding me with this? What a rip off. Do yourself a favor. If you ever see Hammer Real Estate, RUN!!!! Run like your butt is on fire and the nearest water is a mile away!

I originally reached out to Alan around 6+ months prior to our planned move to SD and he immediately responded with some listing recommendations as well as suggestions on next steps once we got closer to our desired move date. When we met him in person about 1.5 months prior to our move date, he led us on 3 tours at different properties to show us what types of sqft, amenities, layouts and units were available for our budget. He helped us apply for the unit we wanted and we got it! He is extremely knowledgeable about SD and always had a positive attitude whenever we had questions/concerns about the move/unit. We've used other types of rental websites in the past and never going back. If we stay in SD for the next several years, we are definitely going to reach out to Alan for his expertise on the next place if the time comes!
