    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.

They literally saved us from serious legal, financial, and other penalties for lack of filing proper State documents. We had no idea that our former property manager did literally nothing until it was finally exposed, and we fired him. Davis Sterling came in, corrected our books, updated and filed proper state documents, and got our banking financials back on track. Mario, in accounting, provides expertly detailed financial reports each month, as well as detailed yearly budgets. Chris is always within reach, and responds quickly to any and all inquiries. They know the law. They know their stuff. Chris also has great connections to top-notch vendors for painting, electricians, gardening, tree removal, plumbing, legal services, painting, and construction. We've only had a few minor communication hiccups, that were quickly resolved to our satisfaction. It was mainly because we were unfamiliar with detailed laws and regulations, that Davis Stirling handles all the time.

In short, we had an exceptional experience from start to finish, and here are just some of the highlights. DM me with any follow up questions. -strategized our lease out/contract for vacating East Bay residence which now serves as an investment property. She made the contractual process seamless. -invested a day to show us neighborhoods of potential interest to help us narrow down geo pocket shortlist to hone in on. -rolled up sleeves to get us contractor estimates during disclosure review/offer stage on several homes. This allowed us to feel comfortable in our all in costs to purchase/renovate/upgrade. -well connected with seller agents, which can be notably advantageous in multi-offer scenarios. -at 11th hour of close of escrow, we hit an unexpected bump in road that Ali was able to swiftly resolve behind the scenes while we were in the hospital for child delivery. -highly consultative and patient in the process, which for us was approx 6-8 months with so many moving pieces in our life (ie-pregnant, moving to temp home, etc) We had the pleasure of meeting a few others from the Gilmartin Group-- highly impressed with their firm and more importantly the individuals.

She brought her brother to do the carpeting job without my prior approval. Not only that she recruited my contractor to get a carpet quote for her brother who never showed simple of carpets or talked to me in regards the carpet job. And also once I told her my house was under a trust, she brought me to her husband who is a lawyer. After we arrived at his office he even read my trust. Immediately told me that I needed to redo my trust because it was too old. No matter how old the trust is, it's valid as long as the owner didn't do any changes. Maureen may think that I'm a quite older Chinese single woman and she could control me in anyway she wanted. But she didn't know that I used be a realtor and retired for A long time. I fired her

    AVR Realty are terrible property managers. They are lazy, incompetent, and worse yet will put your…read moreproperty at risk with their negligence. Firstly, AVR did not market my rental property well to find tenants, I did most of that myself. They put it in the MLS and on Craigslist (I had already listed it on Craigslist). They had no idea where else to market it - and who looks for a rental via the MLS?! No expertise or sense of urgency. I did add'l marketing myself and found tenants for both units MYSELF. They paid my property taxes late - TWICE! The first time they paid the late fee and took responsibility, the second time they refused. They claimed they were not receiving the bill, but then they just forgot about it when they paid all their other managed properties' taxes in Dec and Feb? Wouldn't they have realized mine were due at the SAME TIME as EVERYONE ELSE''s? And when they didn't receive the Dec bill, they made no efforts to correct the issue by the time the Feb installment was due. When issues arose, communicated by either my tenants or myself, they were slow to respond and did not find solutions in a timely manner IF AT ALL. Ex the gardener stopped coming in Sept, the tenants emailed them, of which I was not aware. I later emailed them on Mar 3 wondering why there were no payments being made to the gardener. They still had not had a gardener clean up the property when I fired AVR at end of April, so the landscape was in disarray. When I fired them starting May 2024, I moved all bills to be sent to my address as I took over. I asked about payment history of each company where the property has an account (ie PG&E, the water co, garbage co, etc). PG&E reported that AVR didn't pay the Jan bill for my property, they didn't pay the Feb bill, they paid both in March but then canceled the payment before finally making the payment for Jan and Feb at a later date in Mar. ???!!! The style of all three AVR employees who managed or were involved with my property under their mgmt (incl the owner Ross) was completely reactive, never proactive. And sloooooooowww. It was as if not only did they drop balls all the time, but when you pointed out that there was a ball on the ground, you had to repeat it multiple times before they decided if or when they would do something about it. I cannot give them ZERO STARS, but I would if I could.
