Horrible customer service, they never return calls, and are extremely difficult to get anyone when you try to call them... they always seem to be on lunch! read more

Mike Alavi, Senior Property Manager at Korecki Real Estate Services Inc., and a graduate of UBC Sauder School of Business. Based on my personal experience, he is very difficult to communicate with and unresponsive. When I tried calling, I was told not to call again and my phone number was blocked. Emails were not answered, and it felt like my questions were avoided. At times, I was concerned that my email might also be blocked. Overall, I found him very difficult to deal with and was disappointed by the lack of communication and support. read more

Terrible with landlords -make easily solvable problems complicated . Love red tape over discussion

Last July I had water dripping through my bathroom ceiling for a few weeks, I called and emailed and didn't get any response for about 3 weeks and when I finally did, I got an email informing me that I had a new strata agent. By then the water I stopped dripping and the tenant that had lived upstairs had moved out. Korecki had done nothing to check with my upstairs neighbor or the owner of the sweet about the issue or to see if they had potentially had a flood. Korecki sent in a restoration company to have a look at my bathroom, and they found water damage in my ceiling and high moisture under my bath tub. When I talked to them about what the next step would be, I was told we would have to cut a whole in my ceiling and look for leaks in the pipes. The restauration company came back in and when they cut the whole in my ceiling there was visible water damage and still moisture under my bath tub. Next I was told a plumber would have to come in and check for leaks, and they came in and there was no leaks (and I paid for the plumber). And now it's been it's been almost 9 months since the initial incident, I still have a whole in my ceiling, no one has looked into why the moisture under my tub is still high and I've gone through 4 strata agents and every time I have to re-explain the issue and send all of my pictures all over again. I just want the issue fixed, and I don't understand why I'm being made to feel like that's too much to ask. read more

Our strata was forced to hold a SGM to rid ourselves of this appalling company. Our property manager failed to attend strata meetings. If the property manager attended, the meeting minutes required extensive editting by the strata council before they could be sent out to owners. A timely reply to an email would be days or weeks. The council resorted to solving issues without assistance from the property management company. Paying vendors was an optional event. We came close to losing vendors on a 2+ million dollar project based on outstanding bills. This company did not fulfill most of the tasks assigned to them as part of their service. A request for accountability and compensation was met with threats. Do not walk away from this incompetent company... RUN read more

SCAM ARTISTS! They tried to rent a place on Smithe Street, Vancouver wanting $2,000 up front without even seeing the apartment. Wouldn't answer phone calls and would only txt. Area code was from Utah. STAY AWAY FROM THESE SCAMMERS! read more

Strata payment cheques not cashed for 4-6 weeks, then they apply late fines! Poor communication, emails also take days to answer. Not sure our Council is any better... read more

Unreliable, incompetent and not truthful. There are too many examples of the ineptness and dishonesty of this company to mention them all here. Here are a few to consider. Our strata council waited *months* for Korecki to arrange for pest control services. We eventually gave up and made arrangements ourselves. Their accounting department was - and likely still is - unable to pay invoices or cash cheques on time. They were unable to keep an accurate record of our building's money. We were lied to multiple times by our property manager who would, for example, tell us that repairs had been done when they had not. He would put liens on properties in our building without instructions from Council to do so. Council spent more time correcting mistakes made by Korecki staff than working on ensuring the smooth operation of our building. Do not waste your time and money by contracting with Korecki for property management services. read more

not responding to email or phone call. You will only be talking to a reception which know nothing. They will surprise you by sending you random fines that isn't even in the bylaw. Oh ya it's fine, not warnings. They have no idea what your bylaw or rules are when you are inquiring. Avoid this company. read more

I've been with Korecki for several years. They've always been upfront and pay attention to details. Carol Pedler is a terrific property manager and has always been quick to get back to me on important matters. I've enjoyed my working relationship with Korecki and will continue for many more years to come. read more

I was working with another property management co.for the past 11yrs. But as the years went on ,things weren't running as they were when I started with them . When my tenants moved out,I felt that it was time to make the change and go with Korecki.I have no regrets and I feel that this company is very competent and runs a tight ship.As an owner of a rental,that is what you want. My property manager,Chris,is very personable and if I have any concerns or need help with anything ,he will attend to it in a timely fashion. I would have to say that this is one of the top management companies in the lower mainland. Betty read more

Terrible Strata Property Managers! They screw up then blame the client; don't accept responsibility and NEVER apologize or try to fix their screwups. They resort to outright lying in attempt to cover their collective asses; lied about previously issued letters to owners that they cannot produce as proof. When confronted with their errors they just keep digging the hole deeper by more lies to cover their previous lies. The latest screwup relates to Special Levy payments and their failure to process authorized payments per the Special Levy Resolution as approved by the owners and recorded in the Minutes. They actually issued Forms covering Pre-authorized Debits for three Special Levy payments with the wrong payment dates; Special Resolution dates were April 15, 2021, June 15, 2021 and Sept.15, 2021. So I wrote in the correct dates, submitted it and they processed April 15 and June 15 without any problem and no notice to me; then in September they issued me an arrears notice without any explanation as to why! When I asked why, this is when the lies started. They screwed up and tried to blame me. Apparently, their systems couldn't accept the 15th of a month, the dates in the Special Levy Resolution - they prepared and recorded the Special Resolution in the Minutes knowing that their systems couldn't handle a payment on the 15th of the month, then chose to show those owners in arrears with a threat of a lien on their strata lots in the subsequent strata council meeting minutes AND lie to council about what was really happening. If you are a Strata Corporation, you don't want these liars as your property manager. read more

Poor customer service, lack of focus on paying invoices. I'd suggest that all of the 5 star ratings maybe fake. Not a shiny as they make out. buyer beware read more

Horrible, unprofessional and ignorant people work there. I got no response for 3(!) months. I called, emailed, left voicemails and nothing. It was all regarding a parking stall issue at my condo building. I heard the same horror stories from other neighbours. Alex korecki, Vesna korecki and mike alavi were absolutely useless, considering Vesna is the owner of korecki real estate. What kind of owner just ignores you? Be aware people, I'm sure there are a lot of fake positive reviews. This company does not deserve to do business in Vancouver, be aware people. I'll make sure to tell all my friends and family. read more

I would not recommend Korecki to anyone wishing to make money off their property. its better to manage it yourself, find someone else, or just keep it vacant. They are terrible at communication and if they decide they don't like your property, they will not put the effort in to rent it out, or follow up with the tenants, or fix whats broken. Basically their job. My experience has been a nightmare and I have now found someone else and my property is well maintained, occupied, & way happier without Korecki. read more

First of all, I rarely ever write a review for anyone in my life because I do not believe in writing reviews. I do feel people who write reviews are either bias or being fictitious. However, for this particular case, God is asking me to do it and I do feel that it is my obligation to write the truth and only the truth will prevail. My name is Chris Falcon, I am a Commercial Strata Owner at 1229 Kingsway, I used to be a Strata Council for my residential/commercial building. I quit being a Strata Council for two reasons: Deception and Lies. As a business owner, I know how important it is to establish an honest, transparent relationship with my clients. I know that my client's success is my success. I know how important it is to communicate and listen to my client so we both can achieve the same goal and the same dream. You can read all my clients testimonials at www.sewingclassesvancouver.ca. Having said all that, my experience with Korecki Real Estates Inc. has not been that positive since they started managing my building and my commercial Unit at 1229 Kingsway since 2013. As the year pass by, I noticed our building is starting to look "run down" even though the building is only about 4 years old. If you want a private tour to inspect the interior and exterior of the building, I would love to give anyone a free tour so you can see the conditions of our building for yourself rather than reading all the "5 STARS" reviews that can or cannot be quantify or proven. No words or even the number of stars can grade the Korecki Real Estates Inc, you just have to see it with your own eyes. There are 36 residential suites and 6 commercial units in my building. Even though my Strata Corporation has signed a contract with Alex Korecki in 2013, a lot of the more important conditions and clauses are not honored or have been buried under the carpet and ignored. In my opinion and personal experience dealing with Alex Korecki and his team, I do strongly feel that when you communicate with Alex Korecki, it is like talking to a brick wall and a car salesman. On a personal level, I have worked for and collaborate with many big corporate brand companies and famous people in my lifetime, I would not recommend Korecki Real Estates Inc. to anybody if they are looking to hire a property management company even if ones get "5 STARS" in every single reviews online web sites. No one in the world get a perfect "5 STARS" on every single web sites, I would be very skeptical. If it is too good to be true, you better go on location, investigate further or deeper, interview with as many of the Strata Owners/Strata Councils as you can, and you shall find the truth. Just don't read the reviews and make your decision because someone is writing a negative or positive online reviews. You just have to check it out and see it for yourself which I "did not" in this case with Korecki Real Estates Inc. This is one of those regretful decision I made for hiring Korecki Real Estates Inc. in my life simply because I was too busy running my own business and no else in the building is willing to do anything to help. read more

I would recommend Korecki to anyone who needs property management in Vancouver based on what they've done for me after a year. They didn't collect any fees until I was out of the red, and by that time, I was collecting more than enough money to cover the charges. read more

Going to Korecki for Property management has been the best choice I've ever made about my business.

I felt rather nervous as I had heard horror stories of nightmare tenants breaking windows and trashing rooms. Thankfully the property managers at Korecki helped me out.

Worst property management service provider I've ever dealt with after living in multiple cities in Canada, US and Australia. Take no accountability in their role and functions and provide rude customer service to boot. I get the sense that the only job this company does for our building is to collect payments and post photocopies in a glass case once a year. read more
