Their introduction letter named the company but no individual property manager contact -- a potential violation of ORS 90.305. Multiple residents called Sterling repeatedly for weeks with no callbacks and no responses. When I called their Vancouver, WA office requesting our property manager's contact information, the receptionist refused to provide a last name and was shockingly rude. June & August rent statements arrived with zero Sterling contact information -- no address, phone, email, or website -- despite their introduction letter devoting an entire page to payment instructions. July rent statement included a page with contact information, but only after I sent Scott Hess a copy of my MMCRC complaint. After I cited ORS 90.305 in writing and contacted their licensed property manager Scott Hess directly, Sterling responded promptly and provided individual contacts and park rules. Prior to that: weeks of silence. Our community consists largely of working class residents, many non-English speaking, elderly, and disabled. Sterling's responsiveness appears directly proportional to how much leverage a resident has. Documentation exists. MMCRC has been notified." For context: our previous management company, Pure Property Management & owner property management people, were responsive, professional, and respectful ~ unlike Sterling.

It's unfortunate that I feel compelled to write a negative review for Spear, and I'm at a loss as…read moreto why they have a five star Google rating so far given the experience that my partner and I have had with them. Although I do see that there are a handful of reviews by family members in the mix. From start to finish of the application process it has been one of the worst home rental experiences for myself to date, which is saying something as I have lived in several states in the US and a couple of countries abroad. Apparently, the company is relying heavily on AI to do the job of human employees, which is a disservice to the homeowners as well as potential renters. Our experience started with an AI bot setting up a fake tour during the middle of the week. I received a text and an email confirmation for the property tour after negotiating a time over the phone with the bot. My partner and I then showed up at the appointed time to find that nobody was there to meet us. I called Spear and left a message asking if there was someone coming to the property. While doing so, the homeowner came home to find us waiting for a tour that he had no knowledge of. After an incredibly awkward initial interaction, the owner very graciously offered to tour us himself. At this point, staff from Spear did call to apologize, stating that the AI system was new. That was the only instance we  had a real time interaction with Spear staff when needed, but the error was already made. We actually ended up having a positive interaction with the homeowner despite the mix up, and we let him know that we would be putting in an application. He said he would put in a good word, and we said our goodbyes. That was the only bright spot in the process. My partner and I then put in our applications, and began to receive a series of auto-generated emails prompting us to nudge anyone who we would be relying on for information and references, sometimes multiple emails a day. After a few days we were told via these auto-generated emails that we were accepted (we had to enter a portal to open the acceptance letter). This notification came to us at the end of a particular day. The next day when opening the email, we saw that a deposit was posted as due the day before, even though we hadn't been told yet that we were accepted or how payment would need to be made. I called several times asking clarifying questions, and never received a live person, leaving voicemails each time. Desperate to talk to a real person before having to hand over thousands of dollars and having time to read the lease and ask relevant questions, I drove an hour round-trip on my lunch break to their "office". I found that their office address is nothing more than a mailbox at a circulation desk within a building.  On my way back to work that day, I did receive a phone call from a staff member who said that Mackenzi Spear was out of town and when he returned, he would address our questions. My partner also had questions, as this particular property had additional HOA rules and regulations that we needed to review, but were not provided. The process to get answers was laborious, and days would go by intermittently as we gained partial information from Mackenzi only via email, and never a personable phone call where we could have a normal conversation. I asked both in email and via text messages with staff for instructions on next steps in the process, but received no answers. We then received an ultimatum from Mackenzi to sign the lease or lose the house, before we had been supplied with all the information requested and reasonable time to review it so that we could make an informed decision. Unfortunately, Spear's ultimatum fell on a day when I was on a scheduled trip out of state (which I had told his staff I was making prior), and I was literally airborne when his imposed deadline passed. But ultimately, my partner and I were feeling like we dodged a bullet with this company. If this was how the application process went, we couldn't imagine that dealing with them for the duration of the lease would be any better. We were quite disappointed because we loved the property and felt the owner and ourselves deserved better. I cannot recommend.

Mackenzi and her team are super easy to get ahold of, which I can't say about most landlords or property managers I've had before.

The move-in was smooth, the place was super clean, and they've just been fair and straightforward the whole time. It's nice renting from people who actually care about the property and the tenants. Highly recommend.

We were required to submit a minimum of four photos of every space in the house, along with an itemized list of additional close-up images. This process seemed unnecessary and disproportionate to the purpose of documenting the property's condition. It felt less like a standard inspection procedure and more like an attempt to monitor tenants for undeclared pets or additional occupants. What made this especially frustrating is that the issues with the property had already been documented in their own pre-move-in report, and no repairs were completed prior to our move-in date. In the course of three months we had 4 maintenance service calls, at the time we broke our lease there were many more appointments scheduled. Judging by the fact that we've received mail for at least 6 previous tenants--Holland has a very hard time keeping people in this very worn-out house.

Dirk is first and foremost a true professional, handling issues that came up along the way quickly and making the whole process as easy and straightforward as it could have been for us. I can't think of a single thing I wish he'd done better; he was THAT good. He was always very responsive, answering all our questions quickly (we had tons!), and following up promptly when needed, all the way until getting our house keys and beyond. In the current sellers' market, Dirk helped us submit a very strong offer the same day we saw a house we loved. I believe his hustle helped us get our offer accepted and well on our way to closing. Choosing him was one of the best decisions we made through this process. We loved working with Dirk and look forward to working with him again in the future.

Summer update - they leased an apartment to me advertised with A/C and guess what! IPM never inspected the air conditioner prior to executing my lease agreement. This will be the second appliance they've failed to inspect including the washing machine that was eventually replaced. It's been another 6 week ordeal with them trying to replace the air conditioner - which is covered as a habitability issue under Oregon law. What a coincidence the unit they purchase is defective and stopped working after one day. It's been above 80 for the last two weeks, the unit I'm renting on SW Montgomery downtown is 0.5 miles from the justice center. With the protests going on I'm unable to open any of my windows due to tear gas. Not only that but I am working from home due to the pandemic. The street is EXTREMELY loud with tons of street traffic. The unit is very poorly built and not properly insulated. I had an issue with ants that was resolved but even the exterminator was shocked that the walls and floorboards weren't properly joined together. Apparently they are also owners or connected to a company called Holland Properties. The maintenance manager's email signature has both IPM and Holland Properties listed under it. Check out the reviews for Holland Properties - all the reviews from former tenants and people using their property management services are 1-star reviews. They seem to have 4-star reviews only for their realty services or people whose homes they've managed. I'm sure they're clueless about how drastically they're being ripped off. Bottom line owners and tenants avoid this company like the plague!! They will charge you outrageous monthly maintenance charges (saw it on paperwork my unit is being charges $350/month) just to do absolutely nothing / the bare minimum / claim they can't fix anything. You literally need working knowledge of Oregon law to get this company to do anything. If I could give negative stars I would.
