We've had a great experience renting from Manager 4 Less. Particularly Patrick has always been professional, responsive, and easy to communicate with. Any maintenance requests have been addressed quickly, and it's clear they genuinely care about keeping the property in good condition and making sure their tenants are comfortable. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a property management who is honest, responsive, and easy to work with. Thank you for making our experience such a positive one! read more

As a long-time owner of a house in Carlsbad, CA, which I sometimes managed myself or relied on property managers, I decided to hire a permanent property manager. I knew the qualities I was seeking, competence, reliability, professional knowledge and honesty, and while I did my due diligence to find the right manager, it did not take me long to hire Patrick Alain of Manager 4 Less after meeting him. His personal and professional qualities in dealing with my tenant and the house have been exemplary so far and have justified my faith in him, and I truly hope and believe that he will be my final property manager. read more

After living in our condo for 10 years, we recently moved and wanted to share our great experience with Manager 4 Less. They have always been helpful, responsive, and kind throughout the entire time. Patrick, in particular, provides excellent customer service. He's caring, professional, and very quick to respond. We truly appreciated the consistent support over the years and would definitely recommend them. read more

For over a decade, Patrick has cared for my two properties with unwavering professionalism. Under his stewardship, we have sailed calmly through the often turbulent waters of the real estate market. read more

Top notch service in every way. They have been taking care of my property for 5 years. I could not be happier with their service.

Been managing my Oceanside, CA property for over a decade. Top notch service, quick action, and practical advice. Great value. Would recommend to anyone looking to hire a property manager. read more

My family had a great experience during our two and a half years renting a home, with Patrick as our property manager. He treated us with respect and kindness and addressed any issues that arose promptly. Communication was always prompt and clear. Would highly recommend Patrick to anyone looking for quality property manager, or tenants looking for a rental. read more

Patrick and Manager 4 Less staff are truly the best at what they do. I leased a place for 10 years under their care. I can honestly say every time I needed them, they responded immediately and within no time, any issue the property had was resolved. Highly recommend them for any property owner or tenant. 5 stars!! read more

The BEST! I've worked with Patrick for ...15 years?? He has consistently provided excellent communication, care and accounting to both our tenants and us. We were fortunate enough to have the same tenants all this time, and they just moved out. Patrick took a video of the property that same day, and left us our key and a lock box on the front door. He couldn't be more professional, and he couldn't be more friendly. I will always use him in the future for any services he provides. A++++++++ read more

I hate moving and everything that comes along with it including the task of finding a place to live. I stumbled upon a property managed by Manager4Less and worked with Patrick on finding a home. He was very accommodating and responsive during the whole process and we were moved in in no time. We were fortunate enough to live in that home for about 5 years. Again, Patrick was very attentive during our entire stay. I was always able to reach him at any time of the day and he made sure we were comfortable and taken care of. Thank you so much to Patrick and the team. I recommend them to all of my family and friends. read more

Patrick is amazing. We are grateful with him and his manager 4 less team. They make the application process extremely easy. If you're looking for a rental, call Patrick, I have never worked with a kind and communicative property manager. Thank you so much for everything Patrick!! read more

Patrick was amazing. He was extremely ethical and communicative. When we placed an application on a property and paid the credit check fee he called to say there were several other applicants ahead of us and reimbursed our fees. In addition, he said he would keep our information and let us know he would call us if another property that fit our criteria popped up. Now in this world, many people say many things- but weeks later Patrick actually called us to say he had a house for us! I was shocked that he remembered us and took the time to reach back out to us. I'd venture to say, if you are looking for a rental in this crazy market, call Patrick. I have never worked with a more ethical, kind and communicative Property Manager. It really felt so good to have an ally on our side. Many thanks Patrick! And from this point forward, I will always call or email you first! read more

After relocating to this area, we rented a condo managed by Patrick for a few years. We greatly appreciated Patrick and his Manager 4 Less team for making this entire process as smooth as possible. Patrick always responded to our questions/requests very quickly and got things done immediately. We just pay our rent and Patrick takes care of everything. No unreasonable charges or rules. The rent increase was probably as minimum as we could get over the years.  We have rented several places in the past and it is almost refreshing to see a property manager like him, especially in this market. Instead of trying to squeeze every penny out of you, Patrick and his Manager 4 Less are striving to make everybody's life a bit easier. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a rental property in the North County. read more

"Cherry picking" from 20+ rental applicants for the one who has the most money and highest credit score is a wastful practice. As an applicant, you put out money to have them pull your credit with a 99% chance you will lose. In this market where 50 people want one place, it's a terrible practice! For the landlord, it doesn't guarantee a good renter who will pay on time, not create disturbances, and leave the place clean! My husband and I are in the mid-to-upper 700s for our credit and make at least 2.5x's rent, we pay early and always, we are quiet, and we leave places better than we found them. Were we picked as top tenant? Nope! It's greed...common practice or not. I won't apply to a place managed by a 'cherry picking' establishment and I suggest others do the same. Unfortunately, this company follows this practice. Seattle renting laws have it right...first come, first served and if you don't meet criteria, they move on to the next candate in line to pull that person's credit. If you applied but someone else got the rental already, they refund your money and never pull your credit. Too bad other states don't follow suit. read more

5 stars! I met Patrick at a property he managed for mutual clients of ours. Being a General Contractor and owning a flood restoration company, we work with many property managers. I was impressed that Patrick took the time to meet us at the property, go over what was best for his clients at the property, and help us cordinate everything with the tenants. To me what seperates a management company is how they handle and manage the property when something goes wrong. He helped the owner, tenants, and us during the water damage renovation and everything went so well because of his communication. I highly reccomend this team as they communicate and actually manage the properties and take care of them. read more

We rented a home that was managed by this company and they were always very responsive whenever we had anything that needed to be repaired. They also made sure to process our application quickly, which was very helpful. read more

Patrick was heaven-sent for our family! He helped us in a time of need, and found the most incredible starter home for our family. It was stress-free, and he communicated efficiently. We always felt like we were well taken care of, and if anything came up, his team was there! I highly recommend him and his team to anyone looking to purchase or rent a home. They were so helpful, and truly cared for us as people. read more

Moving 1-2x a year for the last 7 years has been, in short, a nightmare. However, finding a place under Manager 4 Less and dealing directly with Patrick since 2017 has been such a relief! Patrick is always willing to go the extra mile to ensure both parties are happy and he has always responded to an email within 24 hours (or sooner) which is SO nice compared to what I'm used to. Our lease is currently up next month and he helped us find a place within a week and I couldn't be happier with the place/location! The moving process has continuously been a breeze and I can't thank him and Manager 4 Less for the great customer service & continued support through all of my questions & requests. With my brother being in the Navy things are always changing and he has been so understanding! If you're in need of a townhome, condo, or house, do yourself a favor and go through Manager 4 Less! Best company I've had the pleasure of doing business with when it comes to renting. read more

I can't say enough nice things about Patrick Alain, although we have never met in person. In January my mother needed a senior living facility and we decided the best thing she could do was to rent her home. No one in our family had ever rented a home before. I asked neighbors about recommendations for property management, but they had no referrals. I did an online search of the Oceanside area and found three. One did not respond, one called me back a week later, but Patrick responded right away. Too make a long story short, Patrick helped with everything in preparing the house for rental. I live two hours away and never once had to make the drive. All of this during a pandemic! I'm extremely grateful to him and his associates. Now he has found a tenant in record time. What more could anyone ask for? read more

Patrick has been wonderful to work with and his property management services are top notch! We highly recommend him!

Patrick was always available to us via email and was very accommodating to our move-in and move-out requests and needs. We enjoyed working with Manager 4 Less and will recommend this company to friends in the future. read more

Patrick has helped me move into 3 different condos and apartments around North county. He's always helped me get through the application process and gotten me first in line for approval! And was a great manager all throughout our leases. Would highly recommend! read more

Managers4Less is a reputable company that provided me with great service for 3 yrs. Patrick was very nice and honest as our main point of contact for any issues with our property. As a member of the military I was unfamiliar with alot of California laws on property, Patrick took his time to educate me and provided best courses of actions to take. Patrick went above and beyond making sure me and my family were taken care of. Thanks for your outstanding service! I Definitely would recommend! read more

Patrick and his team is second to none. They go above and beyond to make sure all communications, appointments, and promises are kept! I had many times during my 3 years of renting with Patrick where he supported impeccable service, attention, and generosity of his energy and time. Thanks so much Patrick and team! read more

I have nothing but good things to say about this management company. We owned a home in Oceanside, CA for 8 years. The first 6 years we were with someone else and after putting up with some frustrating situAtions with them, I waited to Manager 4 Less, who was referred by my Realtor and I couldn't be happier. Patrick was my manager and he was amazing to work with. He is honest, straight forward and finds cost effective solutions. We had an older home so a lot of things started breaking down and he answered every call very quickly. He is also a very fair person for both tenant and owner. I couldn't be more pleased working with him the last 2 years. Even when I was getting frustrated with my tenants, he did such a great job at calming me down and explaining everything to me and dealing with my short tempered ness. LOL. You will not regret working with him!! read more

The property management staff has an impressive depth and breath of knowledge and experience in real estate, legal procedures, and accounting. My personal experience has been that when I task Manager 4 less to complete a request, not only is the request fulfilled but it is taken as a personal challenge to exceed my expectations. I would highly recommend their services for managing your real estate. read more

Patrick and his team were really good to us for the 2.5 years that we rented in Oceanside. We appreciated them being attentive to maintenance issues, answering our questions at anytime and we got our deposit back. We're are definitely going to use them when we rent out our home! Thank you for all your help! -Jamie & Manny read more

I own five rental properties in different states, including one 4 bedroom single family home in Oceanside. Throughout my 21 years experience as a landlord, I have had the opportunity to work with several property management companies. Nobody does property management like Manager 4 Less. I give them full authority to make all the decisions and I can keep my hands off. They found me a strong Military tenant in less than a week and everything has always been going great. My strong experience with their team makes me want to invest more in their area. Totally recommended! read more

Patrick and Anna are just amazing. Another client assisted with grace and a caring attitude. They just seem to do right by their clients. Thanks again! read more

I highly recommend this property management company. Patrick is efficient and always has a cost effective approach to any problems with our rental such as plumbing. We plan to continue with this company indefinitely. read more

Manger4Less... These guys are A-ma-zing! I was looking for a home to rent back in 2014, it took me forever. I found manager4less while browsing rental properties. I called and set up a viewing for a home, my family likes it, but we took forever to make decision and someone else beat us to it. I called to check on the property and that's when I spoke to a terrific person (Patrick) he told me that the property that we recently viewed was taken, I was bummed, we really liked it. He started to ask me what I was looking for, what area, how much I was willing to pay a month an so on. After that conversation, he said I have the place for you. His next question was "When are you able to view it" my response was as soon as possible, his response was "what about tonight" I paused... then I said ok sure. We set it up at around 8 or 9pm. I went to see the place... it was 3x's better than what we expected and in our price range. This wasn't truly a blessing, I thank God for that phone conversation that night. We are still in that house and still loving it. Patrick has been the Best property manager that you can ever have. When any type of maintenance issue arises, I can always count on Patrick to be there with a solution, always... I mean always a timely response. This company is reliable, and I can always count on them. Great Job Manager4Less!!! read more

All the positive comments for this management team are true. We were very lucky to have LJ as our realtor. LJ is a super nice guy and is a very experienced realtor. Not only he saved us 1.5% of the commission fee, but he also gave us many good suggestions so we can sell our house fast. He personally came to our house to help the photographer taking photos of our house. Therefore, our house looked really impressive on the website and that attracted many potential buyers. We got three offers in less than a week and the final sale was higher than the listing price. His assistant, Amy, is also super friendly and kept me informed all the time. I am extremely happy to choose LJ as my realtor. Highly highly recommended. read more

I only have great things to say about manager4less. I've been using their service for a little more than a year now and let me just say this... Their team is the most dedicated, hard working and responsive property manager I have ever worked with. They are great! Always in top of things, and very honest too. Truly care for their clients . I'm very satisfied and would definitely recommend Manager4less to my family and friends (I actually already have :) read more

So far they have met my expectations. We have them manage our house. And Patrick is very responsive and helpful with all the need and communication between us and the tenants. read more

We relocated from Northern California to Carlsbad in July 2016. The rental market in the summer is crazy, but we are glad that we met Patrick at an open house, and were able to rent the property. The check in process was simple, and we received a monthly invoice via email each month. Paying rent was simple, and we were happy in the home. Move out was also a smooth process, and since we are excellent renters, we received all of our deposit back. Thank you Patrick - we appreciate everything you've done. read more

My wife and I own a couple rental properties in North County San Diego and were having a tough time keeping up them along with everything else in our lives. We were recommended to Patrick at Manager 4 Less by a friend. We met with Luke and Megan at one of our Solana Beach properties the following week. At first I was a bit hesitant because I was so used to taking care of our properties personally. I was soon set at ease with their knowledge and professionalism. I knew right away our properties were in good hands, and we could now focus on other things that were important to us. It's been over 6 months now, and I gotta say it has been a good move for us! I highly recommend Patrick and his team as they are true pros! read more

Patrick is a fantastic landlord / property manager who has the best interest in mind for both his tenants and his investors. I see "Manager 4 Less" as a quality company who has great resources & referrals (they even have a "referral program" as an option on their phone line) to take care of their tenants and their properties with quality, timely service. When the tenants are talking good things about the property manager, you KNOW that they act as a good landlord too! I look forward to working with "Manager 4 Less" for many years to come!! read more

In October2012, I had difficulty situation. My uncle had a terrible health condition and I had to find somebody to manage three condominiums properties that he owned in Vista, Escondido and Carlsbad. My friend Lisa referred Manager 4 less because she was already a client. I showed up at their office in Carlsbad. It was completely unexpected when I showed up without an appointment. We talked for few hours , and it felt like they were family to us. They came to my three uncle's homes, and we signed a management agreement. From this point they have been my managers . What I thought was complicated became very easy to handle. I am truly thankful that I met them. They have my full respect and trust. read more

My wife and I spoke with Patrick and he took a lot of time helping us find a place and what to do for our current situation. We were in another house with a great property manager but we reached out to him and were amazed at his professionalism and willingness to help us above what most people would do even though we weren't one of his properties. Would recommend him to anyone!!!!! Go with this company. read more

I am writing this review from a tenant. I have the pleasure of working with Patrick and his team while renting a unit in Oceanside from the very start they were professional and courteous and very prompt to respond to my questions. Once I was in the unit I never had a problem getting them to take care of any issues with the unit which was few and far between. I hope the owners of the property appreciate the management team they have managing their property, because I have lived all over the world and normally you only see or hear from the management team when there is a problem with the rent. Patrick and his team actually checked up on me to ensure everything was gone well, and that made the difference for me. I am a fan and I would recommend them or even use them for my own property in the future. read more
