I cannot say enough about how AMAZING working with Lara has been. I trusted her to manage my condo over 15 years ago, she has seen it thru multiple renters, a kitchen remodel, emergency repairs, changes in the HOA, and managed an assortment of improvement projects. She is great at communicating, meeting the needs of tenants, and proactively resolves any issues. Over those 15 years, I have also owned and rented homes in LA and in the desert, and worked with different property managers in those areas. Lara set a high bar, and I have not found another company that is comparable. I have a few horror stories from renting those other properties, which only makes me more grateful for the outstanding experience I've had over the years with Lara. She deserves 10 stars and I would recommend her to anyone needing a property manager in San Diego. I am moving back this year and am so grateful for how she cared for my condo while I was away. I can confidently say Lara is the BEST and my condo is in better condition today than the day I gave her the keys. read more

Lara is a Property Manager who came in today extremely unprofessionally by not only making false claims about me (apparently she has witnessed me signing property management paperwork that A. she couldn't even describe, B. I have no idea what she's referring to, and C. I've never even met her until she walked into our office today) and being rude to other staff in the office, after she was advised that the key is after has not been delivered to our office yet. The keys she wants are Medeco keys and any property manager would know that those are specially coded and must be ordered directly from the locksmith with the code. She has been advised numerous times by our phone staff of this, yet still chose to come in and try to INTIMIDATE our staff with aggression and lies. We do not tolerate that kind of behavior toward any staff in our office, she is not welcome back into our office and will be escorted out if she returns. read more

We rented a property in North Pacific Beach and we have been very happy with the way the property was managed. Lara was very responsive if there was ever an issue at our home. A handyman was usually there within 24 hours for even non-urgent issues. The property itself was in great condition and thoroughly inspected and cleaned prior to our move in. I highly recommend working with Heritage Property Consulting! read more

Lara was very helpful and informative about the rental market in San Diego especially in the key neighborhoods north of Balboa Park like Hillcrest and North Park. As an absentee property owner she helped me with options and had knowledge of what is happening in the market today. read more

As a young woman with plans to move to a totally new place across the country alone, I went into my apartment search blind, trying to figure things out as I went. After putting in an inquiry for one of Lara's listings, she was in contact with me in a matter of a few hours. Even after we found out that it wasn't going to work out, she took time out of her busy day to give me advice on my application, my timeline, neighborhoods, and the culture of my soon-to-be home. She was very kind and went out of her way to not only try to make my situation work, but to simply offer help to someone who needed it, even when it didn't benefit her in the slightest. I am bummed that I won't be able to rent from Lara, she seems like a nice person and that she would be a great landlord! read more

We had the pleasure of working with Lara when we rented a house in North Park. Throughout our tenancy she was nothing but professional, helpful, and accommodating. She went out of her way to answer our questions, schedule super timely maintenance, and support us during our move-in and move-out. We are beyond appreciative of her and her team, and will definitely miss renting from them. read more

Lara is awesome! We rented a house from her and she was very helpful along the way. Any time we had a maintenance issue, she was very responsive and made sure our needs were taken care of in a timely manner. I would highly recommend renting from Lara in the future to anyone looking for a place. read more

I've just rented a cottage from Lara and I've been so happy with both the process and the property that I had to share! She has been very responsive via text and email, and very professional throughout the process. The building is impressively well maintained, especially considering the 1930's original build date, and the unit was perfectly clean for move in. Everything has been great so far, and I'm very much looking forward to renting from Lara...which is just an added comfort to finding such a fun and unique property to live in! Many of the neighbors have been at the property for 7+ years, (some up to 20!). So that says a lot about renting from Lara/Heritage Property Consulting. Highly recommend! read more

Lara was extremely helpful and responsive throughout the apartment viewing and application process. Thank you for the pleasant experience, Lara! read more

I'll tell you what... I've lived in about 8 different rental properties since I moved to San Diego, and almost every time, I've been stuck with a curmudgeon of a landlord. Old, insensitive and out of touch. There have been a couple of winners along the way... but none like the staff at Heritage Properties. Lara was my landlord that the old digs, and I can't say enough good things about her. She's young, hip and totally down to earth... but she'll also rip ya a new bunghole if you fuck up, or you don't pay rent on time. She's kind of like Dr. Seaver on Growing Pains (but a woman). Wise and understanding by nature, but ready to lay the smack down if you get out of line. She actually told me in conversation, "I became a landlord because I hated MY landlords." So, she's almost the anti-landlord, if that makes sense. They have tons of different properties located in-and-around North Park, and each of the units are in pretty dope areas of 'hood. AAAANNND, for the first time in my life, I actually got a deposit back! That alone is cause for celebration. I don't know whether to cash it in, or frame it as a historical heirloom. The usual song and dance consists of me *hoping* I'm gonna get something back, but eventually learning that I have to pay THEM for some bogus cleaning fees. Weak sauce. Thanks Heritage! read more

Lara/Raven is awesome! My previously Property Management company was poor at communicating and slow to schedule repairs at my condo (ie annoying the tenants). Raven is extremely proactive and quickly relays all relevant information. I highly recommend her as a Property Manager! read more

I'm so happy I met Lara Fisher. I've been searching for an apartment for almost a month and then I found Lara. Within a day she found a property for me that will take my dog (a sweet border collie) and within my budget. Amazing! From our meetings I know I can trust Lara and I plan on working with her for future properties. read more

I can't say enough nice things about Heritage Property Consulting! My girlfriend and I love our new house. It's been well maintained, was really clean, and the landscaping looks great, too. Lara was so quick about replying to our first email with a few questions to help everyone get on the same page, and it made scheduling an appointment to see the house really easy. We were able to get an answer back about our application the same day we applied, and we had the lease done and keys in our hands two hours later. You can tell she cares about her tenants and the house is gorgeous. The whole experience was the fastest and easiest rental I've ever done. read more

Lara Fisher was very helpful, provided very honest guidance and consultation regarding various options I was considering regarding selling vs. renting my condo in Hillcrest. She was very forthcoming about the economic forecast, recent interest rate trends, and the effect on the real estate market. Lara gave me a lot to consider before making any permanent decisions. read more

I got my whole security deposit back!!! Usually there are some dumb fees or a mandatory cleaning charge, but the manager did a walk-through with me before I moved, and I knew exactly what I needed to do. Two weeks after I left I had a check for the whole deposit in my hand! Lara was always nice, she fixed things when they broke, and was always good to talk to. I'm holding on to her info in case I move back to SD. My whole experience was great, and I loved, loved, loved my little studio. read more

Out of all the property managers i have called, Lara was the only rude one. I called her number which went directly to voicemail so i left a message...this number btw is listed. I realized that maybe they were closed and maybe i should try a later time. When i did she answered soundy pissy saying that i need to email which i did and that i might be a scammer...reading these past posts there are several ppl who also feel as she is rude and she herself is a scammer. Definitely dont call her or she'll throw a fit...unprofessional..maybe you should not leave your number on the list if you get irritated to do your job. Will definitely tell other service members to look elsewhere due to lack of professionalism and unstableness of her service to others. read more

Lara and Erin are great to work with and made finding a new rental space super easy!!

I was apprehensive about hiring a property manager for my house, but I didn't want to sell it while going back east to help out family for an unknown amount of time. However, it's very clear that Lara knows what she's doing. She did a fantastic job getting the house ready to rent, and she found us perfect tenants in a couple of weeks. I've heard the same boogieman stories about bad managers that you have, but I can tell you that working with Lara has been refreshingly straightforward and clear, and she's very good about being transparent with finances and the few repairs we've done. I've recommended her to friends that have houses to rent and to buddies who are looking for a rental, and she's always helpful. Five stars for sure!! read more

Lara and her team have been extremely responsive from initially viewing and throughout our lease. Property was well kept and any minor issues we found she made sure to address them promptly. This was a great experience and the process from viewing to end of the lease was one of the most pleasant and easiest done. read more

Lara and their team are always super responsive to any issues within the house. Constant communication and things get taken care of pretty quickly. read more

Lara made my renting experience smooth, efficient, and accomodating! She was very fast at facilitating the application process upon my meeting with her and submitting my interest for a rental. I had to delay the lease signing by a couple of days due to a very busy schedule, but she patiently coordinated with me to find a time that would work with my schedule - while not as convenient to hers. During my residence at the apartment, she was very prompt in getting back to me whenever I had any questions. Due to unfortunate personal circumstances towards the end of my lease, I had to move out of the area, and could not finish out the remainder of my lease. She worked with me for us to find a new tenant for the space, and worked to mitigate some of the financial damages that would typically be incurred in having to break a lease. If I happen to move down into the area again, I won't hesitate to contact her after the quality experience I had and professionalism that she displayed during my tenancy. read more

Lara is always responsive to our needs as tenets, furthermore, she looks ahead and makes improvements. If you rent from this company, you will be in good hands. A considerate and fair-minded company who values their customers. read more

I wish I could leave a no star review. Lara is the most unprofessional manager I have ever had the pleasure of working with. She refused to answer my calls and on numerous occasions failed to send maintenance when requested. To top it all off she still lives in the 90s and requests you drop of physical checks. It's 2019 people! This is disgusting. 10 out of 10 WOULD NOT recommend! read more

I am new to San Diego and Lara gave me the most helpful advice about finding rentals in such a tough market and insights about the neighborhoods that might work for me. She is empathetic, kind, and part of the local economy. She was happy to answer all my questions about currently available units and units that will be available soon. Property management is definitely her passion -- she is all about helping people find the right fit. I'm glad I found her! read more

I am a Type A, micro-managing, neurotic, control freak. There is no one out there who could take care of my place like I could. At least, that is what I thought. Until I met Lara. Due to a cross-country move (and to avoid losing a fortune by selling) I decided to lease my condo. As you can imagine, managing a property from the other side of the country was going to be difficult for me given my personality, a new job, and a baby on the way. I needed help. So based on the Yelp reviews I contacted Lara. Right from the start I knew I was in good hands. She is friendly, prompt, courteous, and organized. At our first visit she already had our neighborhood assessed and the comps determined. I was not prepared for this kind of attention to detail. When it came time to list the property, Lara suggested a price I never thought we would get. She had a better sense of the value of my place than I did! Our original list price was accepted in less than 2 months which more than covered her fee as I was going to list it for hundreds less. After a renter is found, Lara does not disappear. She handles the credit checks, the paperwork, the cleaning,and all the communication between the renters. Money just shows up in my account and I never hear a peep. The bottom line is that Lara gives me the peace of mind I never thought I would find. Heritage Property is recommended without hesitation. read more

When Eric and I decided to move (again), we knew that we wanted to ideally move to North Park. What we found was an adorable little home 1 block from my favorite bar (don't judge me just because I want to be within stumbling distance!). An adorable light-blue painted home, with gorgeous hardwood floors - just the perfect size for me and my man. Lara was personable and informative from the get-go. What other people have said about her being the "anti-landlord" and being very helpful is totally true. I am a worry-wart by nature, and occassionally very clueless. Lara was always more than happy to answer the 4 million questions I had. She's very involved with those of us who live in the complex - we have little community meetings every so often, she sends us emails and flyers about various projects/upgrades/maintenance issues that are going on...I've never had a landlord that actually cares so much and is very involved. It makes me feel more comfortable, that's for sure. Now, being that I live in an older building, of course, things go wrong from time to time. But between Lara and Dominique the maintenance guy, the few problems that we've had (shower, door hinge) have been addressed and taken care of in a timely manner. We've been in our place for about 8 months now, and we love it. It's the ideal scenario all around - from location, to the property, to the management and staff. Highly recommended! read more

Quickly after emailing Heritage with a couple of questions regarding their services and information on HOA and Property Management, I received a call from Lara. She provided me with a plethora of invaluable information and honest advice for our HOA moving forward. Not only that, but she also quickly connected me to her top property service providers who were willing to help us. I'm extremely impressed by this company's professionalism and willingness to help even help a non-prospective client. I would not hesitate to hire and recommend this firm to others needing personalized property management and care in the San Diego Area. read more

My fiancé and I worked with Lara at Heritage Property Consulting and were very pleased. We viewed the property and were able to sign paperwork within a week. We had a very abrupt cancellation one morning when I was going to be viewing the property for the first time. Lara was great about rescheduling and keeping her word. Really great, open and fast communication. We were always in the loop and she answered our questions in a timely and informative manner. Looking forward to our new home and couldn't be happier with how everything was handled. read more

I've rented from a lot of places in San Diego and usually I always build a rapport with my landlord but when it comes to moving out it usually always feels like a messy divorce. With Lara and Heritage Property Consulting she worked with me honestly and straight up. Any concern I brought up was delt with immediately and professionally. When it was time to move out she worked with me to make sure I get my full deposit back. She was always easy to get a hold of and responded to any of my questions instantly. I would recommend Heritage Property Consulting to any of my friends. Definitely 5 stars to Lara and Heritage Property Consulting! read more

I wanted to extend my gratitude to Lara Fischer of Heritage Property Consulting, for being a truly dynamic professional. Lara's continued attention to detail and genuine dedication to the needs and comforts of her tenants, made for a smooth transition at the end of my military career. I would seek Lara's services again in the future. Respectfully, Bryant Berdugo ~USMC read more

We found our first apartment in San Diego a year ago through Lara, and were very happy with her. When our lease was up and we were looking to upgrade, we again chose to rent with her, and we love our new place in North Park! She is always super quick to respond, and really knowledgeable about the history of the area and our craftsman house. We liked her from the first time we met her. Would absolutely recommend Heritage for anyone trying to navigate the San Diego rental market. read more

Rented from Lara - Heritage Propery for about 5 yrs. If ever we needed something to be fixed in our unit, major or not- we would just email Lara and sure enough she would reply back within minutes. That's not common in property managers. She would also get us in contact with Dom - Dominique St. Pierre, the maintenance guy. He would always get cc'd in emails. Dom and his brother (don't remember his name) would always keep us informed via email if they were running behind or if something else came up. Things got fixed in 24 hours or less. Huge plus!! On one occasion, Lara was very understanding and helped us out with making the move to the downstairs unit in the complex due to a unforeseen health situation. All the paperwork, details, making sure that the unit meet our special needs, was a smooth transaction. Gotta say that we were happy tenants. We recently had to move, but would definitely look for Lara's services again. Thanks Lara for being a great awesome person!! read more

I rented from Heritage Property with Lara as the property manager for close to 7 years. Everything from start to finish was easy: the move in/out process, roommate transitions, repairs, etc. She's also always been extremely honest and fair. When I let her know that I was interested in moving from the one bedroom into a two bedroom, she gave me first dibs when one opened up. I agree with Ruggy about the returned deposit. Lara did a pre-turn-in inspection with me and let me know what she was looking for when I turned in my keys. We'd gotten bleach on the carpet and Lara let me know up front that we'd be responsible for it. I knew that, but it was great to have been told beforehand. I thought for sure I could kiss the deposit goodbye, so I was really surprised when I got some of it back! She only took what she needed and never nickel and dimed me. I recently left the two bedroom and got all of my deposit back. Also, I think throughout the 7 years I only had about 3 rent increases. Each time I was provided at least 3 months notice and the increases were only in increments of $50. I especially appreciated that there is a rent drop off at the postal store on the corner of ECB and Louisiana. Saved me from being late on rent many many times and saved me 7 years worth of stamps. In fact, I think I only ever mailed in a rent check once because I was out of town training. Phone calls were always returned in a timely manner. I was also very happy when the email address was created. I travel so much that it was very very convenient to be able to email and get a quick response. On a personal note, I think Lara is great. She's experienced, upfront and professional while also being young, cool, and leads an active lifestyle. (Motorcycle chicks unite!) I've recommended several friends to contact her when they were looking for new places and will continue to do so in the future. Lara is also very supportive of the military and has been extremely flexible with me through my deployments and multiple out of town trainings. Honestly, if I wasn't deploying again, I'd still be living there. Thanks for all of your support the past 7 years!! read more

Fantastic! Great service and communication, Lara took care of the initial leasing business quick and efficiently! She's never had an issue responding to any questions or requests that I've had, I'd gladly rent a property Heritage Property Management lists again! Keep up the great work! read more

Worst property manager I have ever come across in my time as a renter. Very unprofessional and manipulative. Please do not rent from this property manager, they will take your deposit and use it to upgrade the apartment for the next renters regardless of the condition you left it in. Caution! read more

Wow! I just got off the phone with Lara from Heritage and she helped me a lot!! I threw a few questions at her and she answered back without trying to pitch her company or make a sale....kind of refreshing how someone actually cares about your situation and isn't so focused on extricating cheddar from your wallet. I didn't hear a rehearsed spiel or boring statistics that the some of the others will vomit on you. I recommend giving Heritage first crack at helping you. Thanks again Lara! read more

I've moved a lot, in many cities, in many states, but working with Lara was easily the most seamless and stress-free move I've ever had. From the time I found the listing for the apartment, to signing the lease, it took maybe 48 hours. Lara is professional but very approachable and was quick to answer all of my questions beforehand and quick to resolve any concerns I had once I was moved in. She worked with my timeline to offer a fair move-in date, but then actually allowed me access to start my move, without having to change the lease. When I found some minor maintenance issues around the place, she had them addressed in a timely manner. Since I've moved in, her level of care has not changed. She is quick to respond to any questions or concerns, and schedules any maintenance work accordingly. Overall I have had no issues of any kind with her and now I can just enjoy relaxing in my new apartment without feeling micromanaged like some landlords have made me feel. read more

Lara is definitely the best property manager I've rented from. She always responds promptly and is friendly and easy to talk to. Move in and out were straightforward without any games or haggling. Any maintenance issues were dealt with immediately. She's the best! read more

Heritage Property Consulting was prompt and professional during the entire process. Most communication occurred through email and maintenance and repairs were taken care of promptly. The property was well taken care of and renovated. Overall, Heritage Property Consulting is a good alternative to the large corporate-owned property management companies or apartment complexes. read more

I truly can not express enough how amazing Lara and her team have been for us. We found the rental, viewed the space, submitted an application, and signed a lease all within three days. I never waited more than an hour for a response and the entire process from beginning to end was incredibly diligent. We felt supported in every step and appreciated how thorough she was in looking at the property with us, reading over the lease, and assuring that we knew all of our resources. She even killed a giant spider for me during our walk through -- I'm telling you, awesome woman. We feel 100% confident that we are in good hands in this home and it makes a world of difference. We would recommend Heritage any day of the week! read more
