After decades of owning investment properties within multiple HOA communities in Marin, we've never…read moreexperienced a management company as ineffective as CIM. Across our HOAs that are managed by CIM, the assigned manager does not return emails, consistently drops the ball, and will sometimes shift blame onto vendors, claiming they are not responding when the real issue is a lack of follow‑through. These patterns have been persistent and unmistakable, raising serious concerns about ethics and professionalism. We've also noticed a pattern of favoritism toward East Bay vendors, even though our HOAs have long‑time, reliable Marin‑based vendors with fully vetted pricing structures. Given that CIM's headquarters is in the East Bay, it raises legitimate questions about why outside vendors are being pushed when established local vendors already meet our communities' needs. Some of our other investment properties are managed by RealManage, and the difference in structure is significant. RealManage provides two dedicated staff members for a comparable retainer--a community manager who focuses on Board matters and an assistant community manager who is hands‑on with vendors, homeowner requests, emails, and ongoing updates. It's difficult to understand why any HOA would pay for the services of one person when other companies provide two people and consistently stronger support. It is clear that CIM's structure and accountability are far below what any HOA should accept.

I rarely write negative reviews, but I feel an obligation to share this experience so other…read morefamilies can make informed decisions. My parents, both 86 years old, were long-term tenants. My father has Alzheimer's and reached a point where it was no longer medically safe for him to live independently. Their move to assisted living was not a choice -- it was a medical necessity. Despite extensive communication and documentation explaining these circumstances, the property management response was rigid, transactional, and strikingly lacking in compassion. The situation was treated purely as a contractual inconvenience rather than a human crisis involving cognitive decline and elder care. They also levied a "leasing commission" - $5500! - to re-rent the immaculately kept house that took exactly one day for them to re-rent. What was most distressing was not just the financial posture taken, but the tone: repeated legalistic arguments with no acknowledgment of my father's condition, no empathy for an elderly couple in crisis, and no effort to handle the situation with basic humanity. If you are a tenant who expects empathy, discretion, or flexibility when life takes an unexpected and serious turn, I strongly encourage you to think carefully before working with this property management company.

BEWARE!!!! I had a horrific experience with Marshall & Co…read more Property Management (specifically working with Sarah Jainchill and Dakota from Laguna Vista Apartments in Tiburon) that felt discriminatory from the very beginning. When I initially inquired about an apartment, Sarah wouldn't even let me fill out an application the moment I mentioned I had a Section 8 voucher. They only came back to me after their other applicants backed down. After waiting an entire month to move in with my family, I arrived at the move in inspection to a complete nightmare. The listing explicitly promised "New beige waffle weave carpet to be installed in all bedrooms" and "luxury vinyl flooring." In one bedroom, management left sharp debris and trash all over the floor from a recent window or paint repair, completely unvacuumed. Dakota explicitly lied to my face, claiming the new carpets were to be taken care of by move in date, only to later shift the blame entirely onto Sarah. The bedroom carpets were never replaced. Instead, the apartment was delivered completely filthy and in the exact same neglected state as when I first viewed it. the appliances in the unit are severely neglected and broken and need replacement. The kickplate at the bottom of the dishwasher was broken and poorly masked with a large piece of red tape. It completely fell apart upon inspection and requires full replacement. Stove and oven was heavily rusted, caked in thick, old grease, and still contained dirty aluminum foil left behind by the previous tenant. The paint was peeling off the range hood from age and severe grease buildup, posing a fire and another health hazard. I noticed a thick, unsanitary buildup of dust and filth along the sides of the refrigerator. Furthermore, the unit had a cracked toilet seat covered in urine, a broken front door sweeper, broken thermostat, severe mirror rot, and cracked, lifting bathroom flooring. Most alarming of all, there was severe black water damage and suspected mold under the kitchen sink, a major health hazard for my kids. The place seemed as if it had not been cleaned in years!!! When I pointed these out, Dakota dismissed these health and safety issues as "cosmetic or minor maintenance matters." I even offered my own time to clean the unit a day early, but they refused to give me the keys for "liability purposes," yet expected my family to move into a filthy construction zone and live out of boxes until they could finally schedule carpet installers days later. Management showed zero empathy, never apologized, and tried to push me to sign the inspection sheet just to get the keys. Fortunately, I stood my ground, refused to sign, and immediately contacted the MHA, who backed me up completely to cancel the contract. Please beware of Marshall & Co. They misrepresented the property, lied about updates, and tried to force a family into a sub standard, unsafe apartment!

Most repairs were assesed and completed within 24-48 hours. When the rental I live in now flooded the second year, she worked things out to get my family and I in to a hotel.
