I obtained Fort Lowell Realty in 2021 to manage my duplex. In the beginning, I had responsive and…read morecommunicative property managers. However, from 2021 to 2025 they went through four different managers. I would have one person, everything would seem to be going well and then abruptly they'd tell me someone else was being assigned. In 2025, I was again assigned a new manager, Andrea R. and communication significantly declined in comparison to other property managers I had been assigned. Emails would often go unanswered for long periods of time. Everything fell apart during a tenant move-out at the end of 2025. Before the tenant moved out, I provided the original lease and deposit records to Andrea so there would be no confusion. During the scheduled move-out, the assigned manager was unavailable, and the person who performed the move-out inspection took not one photo. I had to step in myself after tenant departure to take move-out condition photos because Fort Lowell staff didn't do it. The departing tenant was instructed to leave the keys unsecured in the mailbox after 5:30pm, which was very concerning because they didn't set up a lockbox for the tenant to securely leave the keys after the inspection. In addition to all of this, they issued a security deposit refund using rents from another unit to the tenant before fully reviewing damages. Keep in mind I held the deposits, but they did not consult me or provide me with the breakdown and obtain my authorization before refunding the money that I should have provided from the deposit account not use rents from another unit's tenant. To make matters completely insanely worse, the refund included money that had already been returned years earlier to a prior co-tenant! After I began formally requesting proper documentation and correction of the accounting, communication became worse. I sent a written notice under the contract giving them nearly a month to fix the issues. The problems were not fully corrected. After I terminated the agreement with proper 30-day notice, communication completely stopped, they did not follow up with me with requested documentation and stopped responding to my other unit's tenant they were still managing in this timeframe. I have still not received the complete documentation or the remaining funds in my owner account. I also later discovered that another tenant had gone six months without a properly executed lease renewal, and I was never informed. As a landlord, you need clear communication, accurate accounting, and proper handling of deposits. In my experience, those basic protections were not consistently in place. In addition, Fort Lowell's team is extremely unprofessional, completely ignoring clients, being condescending, and just displaying levels of incompetence I didn't know could exist. If you're a property owner, I would not recommend you use Fort Lowell. In fact, RUN!

Complete lack of urgency to address maintenance issues. Currently I have no hot water, no heat, and…read moreextremely low water pressure in both sinks in my unit. The water issues happened on a Saturday morning. There is no emergency maintenance line (though capstone will tell you it is an emergency line), just an offsite call center available after hours. It is not easy to find the number to call for this call center and once I did, it still took over 45 mins just get a maintenance request submitted (due to excessively slow responses on their end). The call center is unable to tell you when you will hear from capstone or a vendor assigned to the problem. I did end up speaking to my property manager (Janelle, mentioning her by name to counter the positive review she has below mine), who told me I'd have to "get creative" (her exact words) over the weekend in order to bathe for work, do dishes, etc.. I wonder how long she personally would be willing to "get creative" and tolerate no water pressure or hot water at her own home? The heat in my unit has not been functional for at least 2 weeks. The owner of the property didn't like what the first vendor had to say so then they sent a second vendor out over a week later. This has forced me to rearrange my personal schedule to be home at inconvenient times because the owners don't want to pay for whatever repairs were recommended. How many second opinions are they going to put me through before they do something? Who knows. Sure this is Phoenix and I don't have any kids or elders to keep warm at night, but that's not the point (and I get the vibe the urgency level would be no different even then). Regardless, how is it acceptable for them to take weeks to deal with broken heating and put me through dealing with multiple vendors and them not being willing to pay for an emergency plumber to fix my water over the weekend? What if this was a broken AC in the middle of summer? Would the response be the same? They only care about making money and saving money for the property owners, they have zero concern for the tenants. Functional water (including hot water and water pressure) and heat are basic requirements for making a property habitable per AZ law. I currently have neither. Unfortunately, AZ heavily favors landlords over renters when it comes to the law so I likely have no legal recourse (and I'm sure Capstone banks on this because they know they have the upper hand), but you can bet I will be looking into it and at minimum posting reviews wherever I can. Prior issues: 1. I've reported a nasty odor from the shower drain which they have repeatedly ignored. They did send somebody out once to fix the broken toilet and told him to "just make a note" about the shower drain issue but to not actually do anything about it. Management then cancelled the maintenance requests I had placed on the portal 2. They will force you to submit to a yearly "walk through" to allow a third party to come into your home and take multiple photos of every room. This is invasive and ridiculous and NOT standard in the industry 3. They ignore requests that they don't want to answer. At my unit, the homeowner pays the utility bills directly and the amount is pushed through in the portal for me to pay. When I have asked to actually see any of these bills I am being charged for, Capstone ignores me. The unit has what appears to be the first digital thermostat ever created - I offered to have a smart thermostat installed, at my cost, through a vendor of the owners' choice. Ignored. 4. They will charge you $50/month for access to their online portal and for bimonthly air filter changes. You will have to let somebody come in and change the filters for you, they will not allow you to change them on your own or they will charge you (when I viewed the property prior to signing the lease I was told by the agent at the viewing that I could change my own air filters - he was wrong). You will also be charged a fee for paying your rent online through the portal (that they are already charging you to be able to access). Avoid this company at all costs, at least as a tenant. If you are a sheisty property owner who doesn't give a crap about your tenants, this may be the group for you. After selling my home and moving into a rental while I search for my next home and/or consider a move out of state, I was extremely leery of going through a management company. Capstone has firmly confirmed that my reservations were justified. It was a huge mistake and I urge you to not make the same one

Unfortunately, my husband and I had the furthest thing from a five star experience with Cynthia…read more(Cindy). I'm at her at a property near the Biltmore that she has the property manager for, and she was accommodating as I was running late from a work meeting, which I appreciated. From the get-go, she was not friendly or pleasant at all, but honestly, that wasn't a big deal because I knew we wouldn't be interacting that frequently once the lease was executed. After applying for the property, she spoke with our references and immediately sent us a lease to sign. On that lease, the security deposit was more than what she told us, there was no outline of the utilities breakdown, a weird section calling out my husband's employment. We asked for clarity to which she responded "we will not be responding." And then she never answered a call, email or text again. Completely inappropriate and unprofessional.

Which i left in the garage. I had a painter come and fix all walls where there were scratches and damage. She charged me to repair. There was a shelf in the fridge broken and a handle to one kitchen cabinet broken upon my departure. Cindy Stockwell deducted over $1400.00 from my deposit. This was completely dishonest and excessive. She charged for cleaning of curtains because they had dog hair on them. Well when you allow 2 dogs to reside, sometimes there is dog hair after 3 ys. she charged for the screen. She said a cabinet in the bathroom was broke....this was a blatant lie. She said paint needed touching up. The house needed to be painted when i moved in which I have pictures of. She kept a $300.00 cleaning fee which i agreed to but that was not enough for her. I warn anyone who considers renting from her. not to. Really sad that people like her continue get away with this conduct. A real shame. Pls do not ever rent from her. You will be sorry like me.

Over the last few months, I have interviewed half a dozen vacation management companies in search…read moreof a great parter to manage my property in Old Town Scottsdale. All of the other companies that I had spoken with were experienced and knowledgeable, but nothing about those conversations left me excited about partnering or gave me the confidence that they would manage my property with the level of attention and care that I expected. I felt like my house would just be one of the thousands of other properties they manage across the county. They cared more about getting the sale than working with me to develop a tailored strategy for my home. I set up a call with Ellie (Owner) to hear what she had to say and learn more about her approach to luxury vacation rental management. It immediately became clear to me that Ellie knows exactly what it takes to not just do well in a competitive market such as Scottsdale...but how to excel and produce extraordinary results. Ellie provided guidance and what it would take to get my home to appear in the top search results, generate the highest possible nightly rates, provide a full service luxury experience to guests, top reviews, and a management team to support the entire operation so that I can be a completely hands off owner. She backed up everything she said producing reports with 24 months of property performance on all of HomeSlice's existing properties. I not only hired HomeSlice to manage my property, I hired Ellie to do the entire interior design and I am SO happy I did. Her design was incredible and she put 100% of everything I needed for the home in my shopping cart...only thing I had to do was make click "buy". The #1 thing I learned during this entire experience was to not go looking to hire a property management company....look for a partner you trust and one that will produce results. I found that in Ellie and her team at HomeSlice.

So much that it took her hours of telling us how to use it, that it was too late for a technician to come. It was so hot, we had to be outside. We had 10 people. 1 was pregnant, and 4 more of us were not drinking. She tried to charge $1,000 for a noise complaint that was never made. Which she says that her neighbor took "multiple videos and photos" of our "house party" of girls in the pool with bikinis on! She never sent the actual video that we can listen to. Just a screenshot. But that pretty creepy of the neighbor to take videos of girls in the pool. So maybe don't use the pool if you stay at her house in phoenix. . Besides that, going back to the house being 86 DEGREES and her not caring or being apologetic at all. It was finally fixed 6:30 pm on Saturday, but it probably took until 8pm to cool from 86 degrees to 73. Not once were we rude to her. We could've been under these circumstances.

We don't need your money. Your house with no ac just wasn't worth it. But thanks for the feedback. A budget in or hostel would've probably had better service and AC. This isn't "retaliation" for money. Just standing up for my friends and letting everyone know you're a pathological liar when we have every screen shot and video proof of everything.
