We have found Robert Patrize to be honest, knowledgeable, organized, and a great communicator,…read morealways working with our best interest at heart. He has worked with us for the past 4 years starting as our Property Manager and then as our Realtor, both as a selling and then buying agent. He guided us through each process with patience, always available with a positive attitude to answer our questions no matter how small. He kept each project moving forward in a timely fashion making sure all deadlines were met even during this Covid-19 pandemic! As our Property Manager, Robert found us great tenants with minimal vacancies in between. He always responded to tenant repair requests quickly and efficiently, providing quotes and documentation. One property suffered major damage from a flood and Robert skillfully supervised repairs over several weeks, relieving us of the stresses involved with the claim process, reconstruction and tenant evacuation. We currently live outside of California and decided it might be time to sell our property in Encinitas. Robert was the first person we called. He gave us a quick analysis of the market trends in the area and suggested the best time to put the house on the market and a selling price that was beyond what we thought we could get for the house. He made recommendations of what simple changes we should make to quickly sell our house for top dollar and managed the updates. We received full asking price almost immediately. Robert ensured the whole process went smoothly. We began looking for another property along the Central Coast when Covid-19 hit! When we became frustrated with the San Luis Obispo Realtor, much to our relief, Robert said he could help us out. He assured us that since most of the processes were done on-line that Covid would not hinder the process and he was right! He was able to negotiate the best purchase price for us even though the property had been pulled off the market and kept the selling agent accountable. He even took a trip up to Morro Bay to assess the property and perform a walk-through inspection. To help us out he took extra time to research the Property Management companies in the San Luis Obispo area, sending us a matrix of the key qualities of each and provided us with his recommendation. We are saddened that our business with Robert has ended and wish we could take him with us to the Central Coast as our Property Manager there as well! We highly recommend Robert Patrize for your Property Management or Real Estate needs.

Low balling for engagement is dirty work Patrize. They listed a house in North county for $2600…read more(which was clearly a low ball) waited for interest/engagement on the ad then raised the price to 4k (which is actually a decent price for the property). I would have definitely considered the place at 4k since my budget is well beyond that but these type of practices just don't sit right with me. No better than the scammers on CL IMO

I worked with Tom on 3 property transactions. He helped me sell 2 of my properties and purchase…read moreour new upgraded home. On each of my property sales Tom negotiated the highest return on our properties. We even set the bar for price per square foot for our neighborhood. I know our neighbors will be happy, and I'm sure Tom will be getting a number of calls for his superb services. Tom also helped us purchase our new home. With 3 transactions all occurring at the same time, Tom made sure our priorities and best interests were met. He was able to negotiate our new home purchase at well below asking. I've spoke with and worked with with other agents in the past. I didn't realize the lack in knowledge and service I experienced before. If you need a professional agent who can manage and coordinate the best deals for his clients, Tom is your guy.

What I was most impressed with was that i didn't feel forced or even slightly pressured to make a purchase. He actually dissuaded me from making a bad choice even though he would had made a better commission! This is one of those times when the experience was far easier and less intimidating than what I thought it was going to be just because I had the right guy in my corner. Thanks Tom and Maya! And congrats on the new born!

August 1, 2026 I have been meaning to write this review for…read moresome time. I have been a property manager for 15 years managing HOA's which are challenging as everyone knows. I deal with a lot of property managers that manage rentals and vacation homes. Many owners ask me for referrals for management companies that do both monthly rentals and vacation rentals. With all the companies I work with the only ones I could truly recommend is Beachy Keen Rentals and Realty. As we all know when you recommend a company your reputation is on the line, so I do take this seriously. In all the years I have recommended Beachy Keen Rentals and Realty. I have never gotten 1 complaint from an owner, everyone was 100% happy with this company, that is why I continue to recommend them. I cannot say enough about Beachy Keen Rentals and Realty. I am very pleased to write this letter to express my appreciation for Beachy Keen Rental and Realty and the exceptional property management services they provide. This company does an outstanding job managing both vacation rentals and monthly rental properties. They are professional, dependable, responsive, and genuinely committed to taking care of the properties they manage. It is clear that they take great pride in their work and understand how important it is for property owners to have someone they can trust. What impresses me most is their attention to detail and their willingness to go above and beyond. Whether they are dealing with vacation guests, monthly tenants, maintenance issues, or the everyday responsibilities that come with managing a property, they handle everything with professionalism and care. Their communication is excellent, and they make the process much easier for property owners. Knowing that a property is in capable hands provides tremendous peace of mind. I would highly recommend Beachy Keen Rental and Realty to anyone looking for a property management company.

We only had a few problems with the townhouse in the time we were there (low water pressure in one of the showers and a water line leak) and she responded to these issues promptly.

Thanks so much, Diana!

Diana at The Rental Xperts leased us a nice house in Encinitas. Seven years later, it was time for…read moreus downsize. We moved out last week. Our impressions from start to finish: - Diana and her team are straight shooters: never over-promised, always over-delivered. With quick replies to questions, and solid resolutions. Every time. - We've had landlords who treated us like adversaries from day one, and others who went there the first time we reported a maintenace issue. In seven years, through Covid, multiple lease renewals, and few expensive maintenance issues, Diana never once went adversarial. Always polite, friendly, kind, and clearly committed to keeping us safe and satisfied. Even when we disagreed a couple times, she took the high road. (So we had no excuse but to do likewise.) - Moving out is hell. But Diana and her team made this move feel more like "heck" :) They checked in to see how we were doing, and went out of their way to time tours with prospective new tenants and visits from maintenance people to fit our schedule. And in the final walkthrough, when Diana caught a couple big things we had missed in our cleaning, she let us come back the next day to take care of them. So she wouldn't have to charge them against our deposit. (This was a first for us. - Another first: While we were searching for our next home, Diana volunteered to write us a letter of recommendation to prospective landlords. She didn't embellish (see "straight-shooter" above) -- just described her experience as our landlord. After several slow responses from various landlords, we got an immediate Yes from the first landlord who read the letter. Bottom line: If you're a square-dealer looking for a non-adversarial landlord-tenant relationship with same, Diana and The Rental Xperts are your kind of people.

HOSTILE AND A NEGLIGENT COMPANY…read more STAY AWAY!!! The Clark street property has a generational old cockroach infestation issue that they have been dealing with long before I moved in. when I moved in (August 2020) within the first six hours I had noticed and have picture of roach droppings along the windowsills in (September 2022) the tenants next-door to me in unit six I've been living there for over five years and had gotten a pest treatment done prior to getting their treatment done. Their pest control. Technician had informed them that if a treatment was to be done on six, it should be done on all the surrounding units, including mine, and prior to doing business with Payne pest control during the bid for Clark street property they were informed of what would need to be done to get rid of this pest infestation which meant getting the property tented mind you this was before I had moved in I was old told that Bryan and Samantha had just gone with the cheapest option which they also knew would not take care of this issue. A couple months into moving in I had informed them of the pest issue and needing treatment in which they responded by sending an inspection out rather than a treatment which only allowed the infestation to move and grow worse in my unit. By the time any treatment had been done all of my property, my kitchen appliances. Everything was infested, no matter how much we cleaned how much we threw out they constantly kept coming through the same places that the water would come through for the flooding pictures emails of it all during confronting them on their negligence they choose to divert from laws and ordinance codes that I present to them that they're violating in which I've had to move units because of this issue and the infestation has spread to my appliances I was no longer able to move anything from my old unit (5) into my new unit (4) I had to buy completely new furniture and knew everything but the same old infested appliances from number (5) had to come with me I am not the only tenant who I have witnesses and current tenants that are willing to testify against this as well as it being an issue long-standing before I had even moved in, not only have I had to personally take losses from their negligence, but Bryan has also been calling other tenants making them uncomfortable with personal questions about me and he is also insinuated nefarious things about me to other tenants he has also told new tenants moving in he has told them that I am the cause to their generational old roach infestation problem. if there was an option for zero stars, I would select that Bryan and Sam and the entire company are a bunch of slumlords looking to steal your money. These people should be disgusted by their negligent practices from pest infestation to defective appliances to a hostile landlord. these people should be ashamed of themselves and the business they represent, I've been staying in one of their units for a couple years now I and have lost thousands of dollars in property damages due to their negligence of the maintenance and upkeep of the property man their maintenance man "Jeff" is literally the worst contractor I've ever seen do work the work this man does in their units and properties has a lifespan of 3 to 6 months and when that happens, Bryan and Sam like to point the finger at the tenants a complete scam

They even congratulated us and sent over a fully prepared lease, which we signed. Come to find out 3 days later, they were apparently working with the seller and other interested parties concurrently and having us bid against each other. Highly unethical in my opinion, especially since they were our realtors too, and should have been representing our best interests as well. We even agreed to offer over $50k in advance to lock down the property, and they prepared a full lease for us, which we signed. Then we find out they did the same with someone else! There are a lot of additional details left out, including non responsiveness, and overall lack of genuine professionalism and integrity, etc. In summary, we would not recommend Loren or Diana to anyone. Ever.

They helped me find and qualify tenants and were there to show the house at the appropriate times. They have different levels of property management services to provide depending on how much I wanted to be involved. I chose the 'light management' approach as I live right next door to the house. It worked out perfectly! And the cost was just right! They're clearly experienced and highly professional. I would certainly use them again should the opportunity come along

We had sold our previous home and were trying to find just the right place to meet the growing needs our family. Specifically, we wanted a nice place in Encinitas with some land for the kids to play, great schools, no mello roos or HOA and it had to fit within our budget. Erik was completely on top of our needs and wants and only had us look at places that were a good match and within our reach. The reason we chose to work with Erik and Swell Property was because they know the area and the value better than anyone else. Value was a key factor for us when selecting Swell Property. We didn't want to just find a nice home and at average price... we wanted to find a great property, that our meet our needs, and was a great value. We weren't an easy customer. Erik would call us the moment any good property came on the market. Often Erik would go see the property without us even knowing then call us immediately if he felt it was something worth seeing. There were a few homes we put offers on and tried to grab at a good price before we finally found the home we are in now. Erik didn't let us discouraged if we lost out on a property due to whatever random reason. He was very diligent in making sure we were getting a good value and not just closing a sale and making his commission. Again, this was the big reason we decided to use Erik Gilmer and his team at Swell Property and we obviously chose wisely. I highly recommend Erik Gilmer and the team at Swell Property. They know the north county San Diego better than anyone else.

We stayed at a "luxury" home managed by Swell Property and were very disappointed…read more The outdoor areas were unusable. Patio furniture was extremely dirty with moldy cushions, a toilet brush was left on the primary bedroom patio, the BBQ was filthy with only two burners working, and the backyard was dirty enough that we had to clean it ourselves. Inside, the home was not properly cleaned. We found mouse traps with bait in a kitchen drawer, dirty rugs, mold in the shower, loose toilet seats, several TVs that did not work, and sticky, deteriorating remotes. The couch was covered and visibly filthy, more like dorm furniture than a luxury rental. The pool table netting was ripped so balls fell to the floor, sports balls were flat, and a rusted outdoor table stained my husband's jacket. After checkout, the property manager called once, said he would follow up, then stopped responding. When a property is advertised as luxury, guests should not have to clean or deal with broken amenities while on vacation. This was not close to the standard promised.

They balance super-friendly correspondence, with on-point accountability, superb time management skills, and technical expertise. Highly recommended.
