It is with great sincerity and appreciation that I offer this review for Solano Property…read moreManagement. In an industry where consistency, transparency, and professionalism are often promised yet not always delivered, this organization stands as a refreshing exception. Their operational excellence is not merely superficial--it is deeply embedded in the way they conduct business, communicate with clients, and manage properties with precision and care. A significant part of this seamless experience can be attributed to Jim, who oversees operations with a level of competence and diligence that is both rare and commendable. His ability to orchestrate the many moving parts of property management--tenant relations, maintenance coordination, financial oversight, and compliance--demonstrates a refined understanding of the field. What distinguishes Jim is not only his technical proficiency but also his unwavering commitment to accountability and responsiveness. Every interaction reflects a high degree of professionalism, thoughtful consideration, and respect for both property owners and tenants alike. From a landlord's perspective, entrusting a property to a management company requires confidence in their ability to protect your investment while maximizing its potential. Solano Property Management delivers on this expectation with remarkable efficiency. Their processes are streamlined, their communication is clear and timely, and their attention to detail ensures that nothing is overlooked. For tenants, the experience is equally impressive--requests are handled promptly, concerns are addressed with urgency, and there is a genuine sense that the company values long-term relationships over short-term convenience. What I find particularly noteworthy is the organization's balance between structure and adaptability. They maintain strong systems and protocols, yet remain flexible enough to handle unique situations with sound judgment and professionalism. This is a testament to strong leadership, and Jim's influence in maintaining operational integrity is evident throughout. Without hesitation, I would highly recommend Solano Property Management to anyone seeking a reliable, sophisticated, and results-driven property management partner. Whether you are looking to place your property on the rental market or searching for a well-managed residence, you can proceed with full confidence knowing that your interests will be handled with the utmost care and expertise.

And Julie, the property manager, was always friendly, kind, and easy to work with. That honestly made a big difference over the years. Anytime we had questions or needed something, she was approachable and helpful. We didn't need maintenance often, but when we did, it was handled quickly and without any hassle, which I definitely appreciated. Staying somewhere for 4+ years probably says the most--we were comfortable there and felt taken care of. We left the area for work, not because of any issues with the condo itself. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a place that's well-managed and responsive.

Please note that this review was flagged by Krystle Properties and removed because I didn't specify…read morehow I'd been a customer of Krystle Properties although it clearly states in the quote below. I will clarify and add that Krystle DM'd me because she has no idea which property I'm writing about...It says a lot about how her company is run. "Hi Me Y. We're trying to figure out who you are so we can understand where we went so wrong with servicing you and your properties. Please let us know so that we can understand this mystery and learn from our past experiences. Thank you, Krystle Karimian, CEO Krystle Properties sales@krystleproperties.com 707-342-2290" Since you asked: These are some of the issues we faced and why we fired you the first month: 1. The building had so many keys in such a disorder that we had to go unit by unit to confirm that it was the correct key. This included front and back doors, mailbox keys, basement keys, and excess storage keys, so you can imagine the mess. The labels were tangled and some had become wet and therefore couldn't be read. Key labeling may seem insignificant but when there is an emergency and you need to access a unit, garage, etc. it becomes very important. 2. The maintenance on the property was horrific. The tenants explained that the yard had been left unmaintained throughout their tenure which made it difficult for them to access their units, storage, garbage, garages, etc. Why, Krystle? This lowers the rent you can get on a location and will cost only $100-$500/mo for a reliable gardening service. That's nothing when you are considering this is a commercial property. Why wouldn't you explain that to an owner to HELP THEM? 3. The windows in many of the units had been painted shut and were therefore inoperable. (Some of the tenants liked this as it allowed them to hotbox more effectively. LOL. ) This is a fire hazard along with something that lowers the property value, since people want a home that functions properly. 4. The backdoor screens were all broken. EVERY ONE. Either the latches didn't work, they were bent and didn't close properly, or the screens had holes (from the cats and dogs), making them nonfunctional. This contributed to the "cheap" vibe and was an easily fixable annoyance. 5. Rentable space. There were garages and storage areas that were not being rented. Why? This represented a +5% increase in property income, which almost paid for Krystle's services. Why wouldn't you mention that to the owner? It would have been nice to have your services covered in the increased rent. 6. This building is in a highly desirable location and rents were 20-50% under-market, with NO CHANGES TO THE BUILDING and, at the time, no rent control. Why, Krystle? I started bumping rents the first year and couldn't believe how quickly the units rented. It is now a VERY profitable building, largely because YOUR TEAM DIDN'T EXPLAIN TO THE OWNER THAT HE HAD A GOLDMINE. It just needed tidying, good maintenance, and some aesthetics. 7. ALL the tenants hated your team. They didn't like the $50 charges for things like replacing batteries. (I have smoke alarms checked 2x a year as a standard part of maintenance and safety.) The tenants felt disrespected and ignored. They knew how nice the property could be but felt mentioning anything to you or your team would NOT result in anything being fixed. Here is my original review, for those interested, and I've attached a photo of my previous review and their other location where there is much more information: "Ugghhh. Just started looking for a PM for our Benicia property. Be forewarned that a MAJOR reason Vallejo's properties aren't in "above the rent a crack dealer can afford" is due to Krystle Properties management philosophy. (This comment was said to me by a tenant as an explanation for the condition of the property when I purchased a residential commercial property managed by Krystle Properties.) After speaking with my new tenant community, one of the first things I did was fire Krystle. That year I raised the rents 20%, fixed the broken screens, hired a gardener, and fixed the unsightly repairs done by her "team", and began to build a plan for the property to shine. The results speak for themselves... The Cap Rate went from 7% to 25% in 5 yrs. Yes, I'm not kidding about how badly marketed and managed this place was!!! Given they'd been managing it for +6 years, they also cost the seller $X00,000 during the sale, since Cap Rates drive commercial property pricing. If you are considering a PM for your rental, understand that KPM thinks all potential/current tenants are beneath them and will treat them as such. There are also more incentives for PMs to have turnover than to set the rental rates high enough to provide quality maintenance to attract tenants with high incomes and job security. We are going into a deep recession. You need to be VERY careful with who you choose to partner with during this coming era."

Collins Management has incredibly poor business practices. The organization provides very little…read moreguidance to board members - who Collins admits are under trained - and so proper financial management does not exist. I live in Ellinwood in Pleasant Hill. After two to three years of reserve studies that showed we were inadequately funded, homeowners were presented with a half-million dollar landscape project and were told repeatedly that our reserves were "healthy." Our roofs were at end of life in 2025 and the board decided to defer re-roofing until 2027 to accommodate the landscape project. After winter rains caused 8 units to have catastrophic roof leaks, Collins and the board decided we needed new roofs. Now, because of additional costs to replace skylights that were not in the scope of the roofing project, we are subject to an "emergency" assessment, increased dues and possibly another assessment in 2028. Collins seems to think that homeowners are rolling in money as they have added $240 to the assessment if homeowners need or want to pay over time. In addition, in all of their communications they state that we should contact them with questions or comments and when we do, our communication is either ignored or answers deflect from our questions. Decisions that are supposed to be made at board meetings are actually made in private and then slammed down on the homeowners. "Forum" times at these meetings are inadequate for complicated or involved questions but if we communicate in writing, we are told to join a committee or go to the board meeting. I'm not quite sure how Collins continues to manage multiple properties professionally. They are a service provider that homeowners pay for, yet they show no goodwill or attempts to support homeowners. Both Collins and board members have been known to degrade homeowners and dismiss any issues as "frustrating" and "bothersome."

When selling a home, the seller is faced with a multitude of issues- Pricing, asking the right price to get it sold takes market knowledge- Raquel and Jon have it nailed down. Before it's listed the property condition has to be assessed. Almost every house and yard will require repairs and/or up dating. Because they are experts in property management they have access to trade people like, plumbers, electricians. carpenters, painters, gardeners and sprinkler repair specialist. These trade people have worked for Raquel and Jon and have proven themselves to provide quality works at a reasonable price. Without Raquel and Jon working for you, you'll not only be searching for trade people to give you a bid, you'll have to deal with scheduling, pricing and access.
