I'm sharing my personal experience as a homeowner in an association that previously hired Harvest…read moreRealty Development to manage our HOA, so other boards and communities can make informed decisions. In my experience, the way the company presented itself before we signed the management contract felt noticeably different from how things went once they were actually managing our community. Before hiring, communication felt positive and accommodating, but after the contract was in place, their responsiveness and overall attitude toward homeowners seemed to change in a way I found disappointing. Work orders were sometimes delayed, disregarded, or not completed. Communication was not always punctual, and at times interactions with homeowners felt argumentative rather than collaborative. I also had concerns about financial management. From my perspective, some contractor bids appeared higher than expected, and the accounting we received did not always feel clear or transparent. This left me uncomfortable with how funds might be allocated. Important due-diligence notes for boards considering this company (or any management firm): Carefully review the wording of any proposed repair scopes and contract terms. I encountered line items that felt vague to me. Do your own diligence: ask for detailed breakdowns of materials, labor, and contingencies. Obtain multiple competitive bids before approving repairs, and compare like-for-like scopes. Request regular, easy-to-follow financial reports and ask clarifying questions until everything is clear. These are my personal observations and opinions based on direct experience, and others may have different experiences. For any community evaluating management services, I recommend asking detailed questions up front, requiring transparent documentation, and closely reviewing contracts, scopes, and financials before moving forward.

I want to share my sincere appreciation for Jimmy Lam at Lotus Escrow for the exceptional care and…read moreprofessionalism he showed throughout our recent transaction. As the daughter of the seller, I was closely involved in the closing process, and Jimmy truly went above and beyond. He took the time to thoroughly walk us through the escrow signing documents, ensuring we understood everything before moving forward. What stood out most was his willingness to make necessary corrections to the vesting/title exactly as the buyer had requested before filing--rather than simply relying on an amended letter. This level of diligence mattered greatly to me, as I needed to see those corrections reflected clearly throughout the documents prior to signing. Coming from a background as a paralegal, I understand how critical it is for documents and contracts to be accurate and properly executed. Issues that are overlooked can create serious problems down the line. Jimmy respected that perspective and never pressured us to rush. Instead, he honored our request to carefully review every document, giving us the time and space we needed to ensure everything was in my mother's best interest. I also want to acknowledge Janici Pan, who served not only as our agent but as a true advocate. She consistently ensured that every step of the process aligned with what was best for my mother. We deeply value her commitment and her belief that we are stewards of what belongs to God, and that such responsibilities should be handled with integrity and care. Overall, we are incredibly grateful for the professionalism, patience, and integrity shown by both Jimmy and Janici. Their attention to detail and respect for our concerns gave us confidence and peace of mind throughout the entire process.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this Marshall Reddick. I used them for the selling of…read moreone property (did a separate review), but this review is regarding property management of a different property. Once I decided to rent the property instead of sell it, I was introduced to my property management team. I was a bit nervous since previously I had a family friend living in the house and never dealt with this kind of situation. My team was Abby, Denise, and Ernesto, and they made everything so easy. Ernesto and Abby did a fantastic job getting the house ready, and Denise did an awesome job showing the home. There was communication throughout the entire process. I am so blessed to have found such a wonderful team to help me through all of this. If you have any type of real estate needs, do not hesitate using Marshall Reddick.

Christine Lin is not only a horrible real estate agent she's a terrible human being. I spoke to her…read moreface-to-face regarding my credit history and she pushed me to apply. She was "surprised" to tell me the one mark on that we discussed about for five minutes. I told her that if she doesn't pay attention or remember, that could affect me- in response she says some petty shxt that exposes her character. and GOD thank god i don't know her personally. Feel bad for anyone who comes her way or is around her. I can tell she just reeks of being a bottom feeder of human existence. No honesty, no professionalism, just a fragile, poor ego. Yes she was late, yes she's fake, yes she's probably not listening to you or won't remember because her life is in shambles. Enjoy my $30 or $40 you so badly need. Unfortunate shes around the 626 area. If you have to speak with her, I highly recommend making sure you either record the conversation so she doesn't "remember" something or if she "doesn't really know" the rules. Either way, clearly incapable, unknowledgeable, and unprofessional. And if she does something unprofessional and unethical, I advise you to report her to the California Department of Real Estate (DRE)

Reached out via Zillow to look at a house in Menifee, the communication was not very good but we…read moredecided to try anyway. Lin Li asked for my drivers license and told us to send a text when we were there for the door code. We texted an hour before we were set to arrive - nothing. Texted again when we arrived - nothing. We tried calling five times with no response. House has been available for rent for 25 days and it's clear that they aren't in a huge hurry to rent it out. Absolutely disgraceful. We drove all the way from Huntington Beach for Lin Li to waste our time. Over an hour later and still no response. Not even an apology....horrible way to do business and a horrible way to treat possible renters.

Baldwin Property Management took over managing our condo complex about a year ago. Our previous HOA…read morehad a history of ignoring requests and communication - our place was a mess - so I'm sure many of us were understandably cautious when Baldwin Property Management stepped in, especially after seeing their Yelp Reviews. However, they've exceeded all my expectations. It's refreshing to finally have an HOA that communicates clearly, responds promptly, and keeps us updated on what's going on. Just to list a few things they've done since taking over: hired new landscapers and cleaners, cleaned a stairwell that hasn't been touched in literally a decade, brought out community gym to the cleanest state in years, fixed our garage doors, put water back into our fountains, turned on the gas to our BBQ grills, and installed security cameras near our mailbox. These sound like basic things but these are the things HOAs should do and from experience and from what I've heard, things that a lot of HOAs neglect. Special thank you to Christi Schaeffler, our community manager who I believe has been largely responsible the improvement in our community.

I submitted an application 35 days ago and have reached out multiple times, even went into office. All to no avail. The place I put application in for is still for rent on multiple websites. If you don't intend on renting to an applicant or have found someone else instead, let your applicants know. Paying $50 application fees left and right to people that have no intention of renting the unit is crazy. They also have 7 day move in specials BUT the move in date passes and the unit remains vacant so you cant even take part of those specials. I guess that's the goal. Reel you in, take application fee and you never hear from them.

This is mainly because the manager of the property, Mel, sets the highest standard for what a property manager/landlord should be. He was always readily available if we ever needed to contact him.

He cares about the unit your renting or staying in, of course, be he also made it feel like he cared about us which is an uncommon quality in landlords/managers nowadays. If you ever get the chance to rent a property managed by NorthStar Real Estate Group and Mel, himself, you have to jump at the opportunity. You'll be in great hands.
