Its probably not on the Fresno tourist list, but its definitely unique to this city and would definitely impress your eyes, unless of course your expectations of beauty is unrealistic. I personally find the lake so serene, and the sight of the homes so close to the edge just breathtaking, and I can't help to say to myself, "these people are so lucky to live here" It isn't just a sight for sore eyes, with its beautiful luxurious greenery, its bodacious 50 acres of man made lake surrounded by magnificent immense sized contemporary and classic american styled bungalows; it also happens to be an ideal place to exercise:, like walk, bike and have a nice outdoor activity, since there is a colossal circular walking path surrounding this amazing community, and the best part is, its open to public. There isn't a lot of parking (probably 10 spaces), the only parking available is near the club house, which is directly near the entrance, but visitors are free to park here up to 10PM, and walk around the lush compound since it is open to public. I personally would take a leak before coming here, since there is no public bathroom here, the closest public restroom would be at woodward park or at river park, which is about 5 minutes drive from here. Additionally wear comfortable walking shoes and also bring a bottle of water to rehydrate, to complete the entire circle of this well maintained walking path is to walk/run/bike about 2-4 miles which is about 1 hour of walking. There are benches located at every lake viewing area, so you could actually sit if you get tired. The main attraction of course is to bask in the beauty of this exclusive master planned community of lake homes while also taking a morning or evening stroll. Its definitely a tourist attraction in my books, because it really showcase the gorgeous american homes normally portrayed in movies and etc, almost every home looks different and is very unique in their own styles. This is definitely where the higher income lot of Fresno lives and have fun, and a must visit for tourist coming into the city of Fresno.

High end, upscale, planned community for the rich and maybe not so famous of Fresno. HUGE homes,…read moremany of them built around the man-made lake (thus the name). The streets are all cutesy water names which reminds me so much of Foster City. Hey, this is actually the poor man's knockoff of Foster City. No commercial buildings, no shopping, just HUGE homes. Oh, but not too poor, that's just a figure of speech here in the SJV. Some of the neighborhoods are actually gated so no idea how HUGE those places might be. The streets are all paved with gold and lined with trees from which money grows. Or so it would seem. If you want to see a whole different Fresno from what most of us think of the old town, then head out Friant Road to the Woodward Lake. You will be in for a treat. Did I mention the HUGE homes?

He valued our Kings River property with 2500 square foot custom home in Tulare county in the Clay School and Kingsburg High School district, with a boat ready lagoon, and river bunkhouse with electricity, with 8 farmable acres at $415,000.

His name is Philip Sarazen, by the way.

We had hired Phil Sarazen and Associates Appraisal Group to do an appraisal of a small airport in…read moreCalifornia. This partnership was not a good experience for us. Associates Appraisal Group says that they are "commercial, industrial, apartments, mixed-use, special purpose, damaged properties for Lenders, Estate Taxes, Divorce", this may be true but they are not fully competent in all aspects that they claim to be ready for. From what I could tell, based upon the criteria that Phil set, his calculations matched them. The main issues were that his criteria were highly suspect which would cause a much lower valuation. This is a working airport, so to say that a new owner would not use it in the same manner (even increase its capabilities) is a serious error in judgment. That may be his opinion, but that is not necessarily what could happen. To say that a working airport's facilities have no value when they are being used to generate revenues, is poor judgment. Just because facilities may have been depreciated to zero from an accounting standpoint does not mean they have no value. All this means is that on the tax returns one does not get a depreciation expense, not that being used facilities have no value, and that some maintenance repairs may be required. Phil also defined much of the land as farm land which would yield the least valuation. Past appraisals never said that the land was only zoned for farming. If I remember correctly, this was not the case in the older valuation. So, unless the land was indeed re-zoned to be used only for farming, choosing a different allowable land use could result in higher valuations and a more extensive set of comparable properties. We hired him to provide a reasonable valuation on a working airport. They chose to ignore this fact and only do a valuation of land which included defining its use in the least value scenario. He chose to ignore this fact. In good faith we paid half of his fee upfront, but in multiple occasions we were mislead on how the property was appraised and when we would receive the reports. Multiple times they mislead us and told us that the property in questions was worth much less then it truly is. Claiming that because some of the buildings are older that they lost all value, which didn't seem right because the property in question is still a working airport that still generates wealth. This is a major miscalculation on his part, and one that would have resulted in a major loss for us. Even when we got in contact with him and questioned this, he still claimed that he was right. Another thing worth mentioning is that it is very difficult to get a hold of him. It takes multiple phone calls to get through to him. Agree contacting him was difficult and he was generally not responsive. He also missed his own defined deadlines by weeks. He also did not supply us the paid for partial interest valuation until requested by us giving us the excuse that he did not realize we had not received it yet. should have made sure that we received it, when promised, and not assume we had gotten it. Our experience is that they had very bad business practices on top of his questionable valuation criteria judgments. We have not received the partial interest appraisal yet. Worse thing about Phil Sarazen is he insisted on getting the balance paid in full which we did, during the middle part of his work without providing us even with a progress report while threatening to stop working if he didnt receive the payment. He is very rude and unprofessional and no one should use his appraisal services again.

We met Na when my father-in-law was looking for a home in the Fresno area. My wife and I were immediately impressed with knowledge of the market and homes listed in the area.

She helped us set a price that was fair for both the seller and buyer, it was more than we thought we could get. The home sold immediately. Na kept us informed of every detail and made this stressful time seem almost easy. We have recommended Na to family, friends and co-workers. We would never us any other agent.

Finally with the opportunity to buy again we hired Na Landseadal to find us a home. As we explained to Na at the outset our next purchase was being viewed as the home we would retire in. We didn't want to risk settling on a property that didn't meet our long term expectations and explained we wanted to look at EVERYTHING on the market before making a decision. Na was more than happy to show us multiple properties that fit our criteria. Along the way Na was very professional when pointing out a properties pros and cons of not only the neighborhood, but also the floor plan, pricing and overall quality of the home. Through her connections with local realtors and investors, we were also able to see properties that were yet to hit the market, offering us a advantage over other buyers. I would highly recommend Na whether you're buying or selling a home. She's a go getter and always has the clients best interest in mind during and after the transaction.

I strongly advise against applying at Dominion Heights due to extreme administrative incompetence…read moreand poor communication. I applied for an apartment and paid for application fees and a holding fee for the unit we were interested in. The leasing office dragged out the approval process for three weeks, forcing me to follow up repeatedly when we were told at the time of visiting the property that it would take 48 to 72 hours. During every phone call, staff members demanded different pieces of information that had already been provided. For example, our current landlord provided them with our payment history and a form indicating we were good tenants. After they received that from our landlord they demanded that we send bank statements that are providing the same information as the payment ledger that was provided from out current landlord. At the time of applying we were aware that credit was going to be a little bit of a problem, but was not explained why they needed extra documents after waiting two weeks. After reaching out again, they proceeded to say there was a new policy from "Corporate" that was just put in place 3 weeks after we already started the process requiring us to give bank statements for the previous year...AGAIN. We gave them the benefit of the doubt due to all the bad reviews about miscommunication. At that time, it was determined their communication skills are a major issue. BEWARE OF THIS COMPLEX! Side note: For anyone that has applied and given a holding fee just know that you are entitled to get your holding fee returned to you even if you are the one that cancelled the application. They will tell you otherwise but just call your bank.

Before Chambers Property Management, I honestly felt like I was on my own. I technically had a…read moreproperty manager, but actually getting help was another story. Questions would come up and I'd either get no response or something super vague days later. After a while, I just stopped asking and hoped nothing went wrong, which isn't exactly comforting when real money is involved. Once Chambers took over, that changed pretty quickly. Now when I have a question, I ask it and I get a real answer. Not days later. Not after following up multiple times. Just a normal, timely response like you would expect. It sounds basic, but it made a huge difference. What really stood out to me was how approachable they are. I've asked about lease stuff, tenant situations, random landlord questions, even things I probably should already know. I never felt rushed, brushed off, or made to feel dumb for asking. There were also times I reached out about things that weren't urgent at all or weren't technically their issue yet. They still helped me think it through and gave honest input. That was unexpected and genuinely appreciated. At this point, I don't feel like I'm guessing anymore. I don't feel stuck or unsure every time something small comes up, and that peace of mind alone is worth a lot. Thank you Chambers Property Management!

I live in the bay but own a property in Fresno. My experience with my previous property manager…read morewas a nightmare. Instead of managing and stabilizing my building, I lost money every month and my stress level was out of control. My priors manager's communication was terrible and to make things worse they were also unapologetic and unprofessional. I think the latter may have actually pissed me off more. After my frustrating experience, I spent a lot of time researching for a better property manager. After interviewing Kendra, I decided to switch to Chambers, and the difference has been unimaginable. Kendra and her team have been nothing short of amazing. They are incredibly professional, responsive, and genuinely make me feel valued as a client. Kendra's communication is excellent, she's quick to respond and always keeps me informed. The level of service she provides has given me peace of mind, something I desperately needed. I also appreciate having Chambers PM, specifically Kendra, to serve as a resource. My other properties are in Oakland and Walnut Creek, which is currently out of their service area, so I self-manage those rentals. And any time I have question about landlording or just need a second set of eyes on a tenant application, Kendra is willing to offer her expert advice, even though those properties aren't being managed by Chambers (yet! when/if they come to the Bay, those properties will be managed by Chambers.) My tenants are also much happier now. Kendra doesn't waste any time finding reliable tenants to fill vacancies whenever I may have one and her attention to detail has made property ownership stress-free. I feel very comfortable reaching out to her whenever any issues arise because I know she'll handle them promptly and effectively. The Chambers' team are a wonderful group who are truly engaged with their clients. Kendra's informative, has great communication skills, and goes above and beyond for her customers. She actually cares about her tenants and always answers the phone or calls back right away. If I could give more stars, I would! I highly recommend Kendra and her team to any homeowner looking for a reliable and trustworthy property manager. They have exceeded all my expectations and made a world of difference in managing my property.
