We were able to purchase a great condo in the hear of LA for a fantastic price. David referred us to their finance company that was able to get us a loan with no taxes. Which was fantastic as it's very hard to qualify for a loan with the current prices in LA. The transaction was fast and smooth we are very happy to have moved into this condo. They showed us a list of properties in our price range and in our location. The properties were exactly to our specification. What is even better, David the main broker was able to sell our property within the time we needed to sell it in order to move into the new property and use the funds from the sale to purchase the new one. They were able to structure the deal in such a way that would benefit us. We highly recommend using them!

Short Story: David…read moreGazarov's property management services is like a parasite that'll bleed you dry. He offers different programs that are supposed to cover the property management obligations but then bills every action separately with numbers he pulled out of his @$$. The entire time I paid for his services, I never saw the full monthly rental income because he would deduct more than half of it with made-up fees before charging me to send me what was left over. Long Story: I hired David as my property manager at his $49 monthly plan. What he did not explain is that the management fee only covers collection. Any other item is chargeable at whatever fee he deems fair. He charges to open emails/texts, to respond to messages, to communicate messages to the tenants, to speak with the HOA, to forward mail, to file any reports, to process the Financials, to send the rental income over, and the list goes on. I had his service for 4 months, which should've been $12,760 gross rental income. However, I only received $4,865.26. That means he charged $7,894.74 in random fees that should be part of his duties as a property manager. On top of all the fees, he penalizes you for wanting to terminate early. For instance, you can't get out of your contract without paying off the remainder of the contract plus more fees. David requested that I pay $897.80 just to get out of my contract. I told him I was only willing to pay the remaining contract amount for the year $392. He agreed to those terms only to go back on them, claiming I still owed him more money. He then took it out of my reserve funds return and said, "Not worry about the rest." As if he was doing me a favor for not charging me on services I never approved of. All in all, I would avoid David's property management services like the plague because he will bleed you dry and feel entitled for more.

I would NOT recommend renting with Doorstead. They were nice at first, but customer service…read moreregarding maintenance is horrible after signing the lease. It's been like pulling teeth every time. With multiple requests, I've been straight up ghosted by Doorstead. I think they were hoping I would just forget about it?? Which is ridiculous. If I wasn't super persistent in following up, I feel like some of them would literally never be addressed. I've tried sending emails requesting an update on a ticket for 2+ weeks and they flat out don't respond. Or I get an automated response saying the ticket is complete when it's definitely not. I have to chase them down and call the urgent phone number 3+ times before someone actually picks up and I have to insist on getting an update. They don't hold owners accountable to their responsibility to maintain the property. The owner is completely unresponsive and unwilling to spend money on necessary repairs, and Doorstead doesn't seem to follow up or care unless I continuously nag them and cite CA habitability legal requirements. At the very least, Doorstead doesn't give me any updates about communication with the owner and I'm completely in the dark unless I call over and over. After I do that, they magically have an update for me within a couple of hours. How convenient. It's maddening that I have to go to that length when I'm paying thousands of dollars every month and always pay on time. I just want a safe home that meets all the requirements it's supposed to. Apparently Doorstead doesn't really care about that, they just want their autopay. EDIT: In regards to the response Doorstead posted: -The situation is STILL not fully resolved, and certainly not in a timely manner. The repair is done but I have had a rent abatement request related to this situation pending for 9 days now with NO update other than one "we're working on it". I have followed up multiple times via email and 1x by phone. Per CA requirements, no adequate heat means the unit is not inhabitable and qualifies for rent abatement for the affected days. (Statutes that are relevant to this: California Code of Regulations, Title 25, § 34,; California Civil Code Section 1941.1; Green v. Superior Court 1974) - They did NOT offer to cover temporary relocation for me. They suggested I reach out to MY OWN renter's insurance that I pay for to see if it would be an option. I don't know why they're making it sound like Doorstead was offering that to me as a courtesy. - They did NOT maintain regular follow-ups with me. I had zero response to multiple email requests for update from 11/2 - 12/4 (13 days!) when additional repair was still needed. (posted screenshot as proof) I have to email several times to get a response or call in until someone picks up. When I call in, I have been told more than once that "the person handling this ticket is out of office". Meanwhile, that person had no out-of-office message on and no one else assigned to the ticket while they're out. If they're out, it just doesn't get addressed until whenever they come back. - For any repair, they allow the owner to bypass their approved, qualified vendors and choose his own "preferred vendor" (read: cheaper). Multiple times when using the owner's "preferred vendor" the repair ends up being done poorly and leads to more issues later that require additional visits and more of my time. Ex 1: "Preferred vendor" did not relight pilot light of furnace or test the unit --- someone else had to come back and relight it days later (more days with no heat during winter). Ex 2: Previously a water heater replacement was done by "preferred vendor"--- there was both a gas leak (dangerous!) and water leak of the unit in the weeks following.

Awful when you need maintenance. A vendor is contacted for a quote. The quote then has to be…read moreapproved by the owner. Meanwhile you wait. So far 4 days without water in the home. The plumber has made a complete mess of the repair. He has been at it for 3 days . Now the water leak which was small is BIGGER. I had a working spigot , the repair guy for whatever reason replaced that with an old cracked unusable spigot. Water now pours out from every seam of the mishmash pipes used to repair the old leak.

First and foremost, Justin is an all-around stand-up guy - a man of integrity, humility, and…read morecharacter. He is knowledgeable, resourceful, and consistently communicative. Our home was on the market for over a year in an unpopular location, during an unfavorable market, and amid a complicated family situation. It was a long and exhausting journey, but we were so grateful to have Justin as our agent throughout. We had initially started with another agent who moved out of state without even notifying us. Justin not only stepped in to represent us moving forward, but also went above and beyond to untangle the complications with our previous agent. We deeply appreciated the effort he put in, especially all the behind-the-scenes work. He kept us informed at every step, guided us through key decisions, and maintained open communication, even during the quiet waiting periods. Despite ongoing family conflicts, Justin remained professional and respectful while still being straightforward and realistic about our situation. Ours was likely one of the most challenging cases he's ever handled, if not the most challenging, but he stuck with us and got us across the finish line. Without hesitation, he is the agent we'll continue to call on and the one we'll recommend wholeheartedly to family and friends. As for Justin himself, he's the kind of friend you can count on--the reliable, good-hearted one who knows what to do when things get tough. He was recommended to us by our lender for this transaction, and I couldn't be more thankful. Not only did we find a go-to agent, but also a trusted friend.

Our relationship with Justin started as a referral from a trusted Realtor here in Virginia whom…read morewe've used on both the sale and purchase of two houses. Our local Realtor was that rare combo of knowledgeable, hard-working, responsive and experienced and we asked her for a recommendation of someone with matching qualities to sell our son's house in Van Nuys. She suggested Justin and we couldn't be happier with the result. He was prompt in responding and diligent in guiding the process along. He is the go-to agent for knowledge of the Van Nuys residential market. That includes, most importantly, a firm understanding of what buyers are looking for, and willing to pay for, in purchasing a house. He was thus able to provide advice and guidance on the refreshing, repairing and improving that would return $1+ in sales price for every $1 spent and, critically, he had access to quality contractors able to get the work done promptly, which meant putting the house on the market when planned.

Recently I had to…read moreleave the US long term and I needed a good management company to take care of my properties (which I built and renovated myself as a General Contractor ) My properties are very close to my heart also because the freedom that they offer, it was my dream come true to own these. Unfortunately, The first Managment company which I hired was just not on top of things. During the first year out of the US I was suffering greatly hwhile working with that company , it was a fairytale dream turning into a nightmare . When I finally let them go I hired Neena and her team, letting them take over the mess. Right from the get go I felt the difference. Honesty, communication, reliability and hands on approach are just a few of the qualities Neena at Designation properties has to offer. Neena also inherited a challenging situation from the previous management company and she took it on like a pro, putting the pieces back together while giving me a chance to some true Owner peace of mind. I'm so grateful for having someone to trust with my assets, especially in my delicate situation. My actions speak louder than words, I left my most valuable properties, my life's work, in the hands of Neena and Designation Properties while permanently living 8000 miles away. I think that pretty much sums it up.

From Ben, Neena, Olivia and the rest of the team each person I've dealt with listen to the requests made and immediately act upon it to ensure tenants are comfortable and secure within their living quarters. I've had experiences with other management companies that won't care to follow up with requests or issues but rather blame individuals or make them live with the inconvenience and just collect their monthly rent. Great to work but even better people!!

Michelle Mattos of Everything Has Its Place came recommended by our realtor…read more Michelle agreed to meet with us, and she showed up 1 out of 3 times she suggested to meet. 1st meeting: no show, no phone call 2nd meeting: no show, no phone call 3rd meeting: showed and promised to email us her proposal with estimate and timeline of schedules that evening. Well, proposal never came through. We are in a crunch to complete de-cluttering & be open-house ready by 1/1/2023; in 7 days, to list our property for sale. Michelle never came through, or never heard from since the 3rd meeting. Extremely unprofessional and highly do NOT recommend.

I needed someone to pack our home in Huntington Beach - and we wanted it done correctly. We were…read moreconcerned about letting the moving company do the packing, and we just did not have the time and energy to do it ourselves this time. Michelle with "Everything Has its Place" responded quickly and arranged an appointment to come to the house and provide an estimate for the work needed. She quickly emailed the estimate, and we started a day later. This was a 2 day job, and Michelle and her helper did not stop. I was amazed at the quality of the packing to protect valuable items, and how much went into the job. Watching them work, and the boxes piling up, I am relieved i did not try to do this myself. what took them 2 days would have taken me two weeks - and it wouldn't have been the quality of Everything Has Its Place. I look at it that I did not pay Michelle for her time. I paid Michelle for MY time - which would have been so much longer. They have the experience, talent, energy, the boxes, wrapping paper, bubble wrap, and right tools for the job. Thank you to Michelle and her team for such a great job. I am looking forward to referring Everything Has Its Place to family and friends.
