This management company is an absolute joke…read more As a tenant that lives in a building that is managed by this company, it is very clear that they are spread too thin across more buildings than they can handle, and have no ability or interest in having a functioning respectful relationship with any of their tenants. They almost never respond to any texts, emails or tickets in their web platform, and need to be called multiple times to get issues addressed. They repeatedly lie and are slow to get anything done, if at all. Over 80% of the original tenants that moved into our brand new building MOVED OUT after the first year specifically because of how badly this management company operates. If you are a building owner considering hiring this management company, I strongly recommend AGAINST it. You risk losing tenants by hiring them.

You get what you pay for. This management company charges less than most, which is the primary…read morereason we chose them to manage our property. Unfortunately, the level of service they offer is not great. If all you want is someone to collect rent and interface with your tenants on your behalf, then perhaps they might work for you. But expect to do a lot of your own record keeping and follow up to make sure your property is actually being maintained. They don't respond quickly, which we found is also the case for the tenants as well and they would seek their own repairs (or not address all) out of frustration. We would send requests for information and needed to follow up many times before getting a response, which would usually be brief and sometimes not even answering all of the questions asked. They're disorganized. They didn't have move in checklists or records of how the units were so we couldn't hold tenants accountable for damage. They didn't even realize one tenant was overpaying their rent until I requested (barely intelligible) ledgers and tried to make sense of why our 1099 didn't match the totals from our monthly statements. We don't live near our property and never actually see it in person so we rely on the management company to periodically visit and inspect and let us know if repairs or maintenance is required, etc. They said they visited monthly but when we switched to a new management company we found that there was thousands of dollars in electric and plumbing repairs necessary that had been ignored for years. There was trash and debris on the property and one unit was an unsafe filthy mess. If they were truly visiting regularly, these things should have been identified and rectified promptly. Switching to another management company was like night and day. We saw how little this company actually did, and how much of a mess they really were. We found that the little bit of savings in the fee was not worth how much they lack in service.

Hello Everyone, I…read morewas eager to write this note of excellence for three GHP Management staffers. Juan Velazquez, Ioanna Netertou, and Luis Cortez are Amazingly Wonderful! To say that they go above and beyond the call of duty somehow just doesn't adequately tell the story. They are super kind, courteous, helpful, resourceful, and a delight to be around. They greet you with a smile, and an eagerness to please and meet your needs. Whether I am in town or out of town, I have called them and made some really tall asks. Never did any of them say that's too much to ask, they just made it happen! I want to publicly thank them for making my home a wonderful place to live! Sincerely, Dr. Powell

Despite this situation, management stated they "do not guarantee safety" and denied my request for a modest one-month rent abatement. What makes this more frustrating is that the parking garage gate has been broken and left open for nearly a month, which has significantly impacted residents' sense of security. As a resident with GHP for nearly three years without prior issues or missed payments, I expected a higher level of care and urgency regarding safety concerns. I do want to acknowledge that the office staff themselves have always been kind, responsive, and professional. Unfortunately, the same level of concern does not seem to extend from upper management or the company as a whole when it comes to resident safety and quality of living making those kind words feel empty and trained.

Will Tiao and his team stand apart from the competition in LA. They have had years of successes in…read morereal estate sales, management, and development in key parts of LA. It is because of their sterling reputation that my partner and I entrusted Will and his team with our purchase and sale of three different types of residential properties: condominium, single family residence, and multifamily property. From our experiences, here are top three reasons why we recommend Will and his team and would use him again for our next purchase or sale: 1. Will is a great advocate when it comes to negotiating offers and counteroffers and in dealing with other parties. His stunning background in international trade policy and Hollywood comes into play here at the client's advantage. Will helped us strategize and obtain good outcomes on all of our sales and purchases. 2. Will is a great advisor. His strong local knowledge about the neighborhoods and local regulations is founded on his brokering, property management, and development experience in LA. From neighborhood safety, zoning, entitlements, easements, to landlord-tenant matters, we knew we could count on Will and his team to get it right. 3. Will is a great connector and has deep connections in the real estate industry. He is just one speed dial away if you need a solid connection to a handyman, a CPA who advises real estate investors, a real estate attorney, or a home staging specialist. We've consulted with everyone Will has recommended and have been happy with them all. Will and his team have handled all of our matters expeditiously and to our great satisfaction. We wholeheartedly recommend them for any residential matters in LA.

They knew eventually it would be an issue that should have been addressed it decades ago but no... they're too cheap and incompetent so now the tenants at royale la habra have to suffer because of this. I'm posting pics of the notices of proof of what I'm stating here. Avoid these apartments or any property managed or owned by PPI management. There's no way to reach their corporate personnel through a phone number. They have never acknowledged how devastating this has been to all the residents here which most are elderly. No discounts or refunds on rent for this major inconvenience. There's no way to contact their corporate to file formal complaints. They just don't care at all. All the residents have to plan our lives/ days around them turning off the water. They're also a huge problem with mold which i will add more commentary and pics soon.

Complaints have been filed with the BBB and Bureau of Real Estate as Calco has stopped all communication and have not returned the Security Deposit. ************************** I spoke with several PM companies in the downtown LA area, and prior to my signing the contract Donna was polite, responsive, really on her game with follow up. I liked the idea of a small business owner in downtown managing my apartment; I'd hoped we'd get very personal service. Donna and her partner Pam came to view my apartment, and got the full tour. Donna was confident she could rent my downtown loft within 30 days, for a little over market value. She'd have open houses, and be promoting the property all over the map. They took some phone snaps while in the condo and then with my deposit in hand were off to begin listing the apartment. Fast forward 2 months and she'd brought in 2 prospective tenants. The mentioned open house never materialized, and I had no way out of the contract unless I wanted to pay for a full years worth of property management fees. Once she'd cashed the deposit check and had a signed contract with me, Donna became positively awful at communication. I had to call her to find out our ad status, and if there were any prospective tenants that wanted to view the apartment. I offered on several occasions once the apartment was cleared out for them to come back and take new photographs (the originals taken on her handphone still showed my belongings in the apartment.) Donna was adamant that showing the property "lived in" was better in her experience so tenants could imagine how their belongings would fit into the space. After several responses from friends and acquaintances stating I needed better photos, I hired a photographer myself to take new photographs. I then placed my own ads and within a week had 5 responses - this is compared to the 2 that Donna had supplied in 2 months. Points of contention - in her original email she quoted me a lower price for her services than was stated on her first version of the contract. I got this corrected. I specifically asked about insurance needs, when I'm switching from the homeowner/resident to landlord - she claimed my current policy would cover anything that came up. I contacted my insurance company about this, and they informed me this was incorrect - you need a tenant/landlord owner policy when someone other than you is residing in your apartment. Once the tenant I secured moved in, things were relatively smooth until August 2015. There were things like some late payments by Calco, an incorrect rental amount $1,000 less than expected deposited in my account, missing yearly statements. There was always an explanation for these missteps, and as my tenant was ok I let things be. Then, the HVAC unit in the apartment broke, and Calco got into a dispute with PayLease which saw the distribution of my rental money delayed by 18 days past their contractual deposit date; Calco was in violation of the terms of the contract they wrote. It took me contacting PayLease to get the funds released and eventually deposited into my account. It turns out the broken HVAC unit wasn't serviced during the past two years of use - something the Property Management Company - Calco - should have scheduled. Their selected contractor was a no show at first, and when he did arrive he further broke the unit requiring a new part to be ordered. I only found out about this, as I called the contractor myself after Calco didn't return calls or emails requesting status updates. I served them with the 60 day termination notice due to their non-response to enquiries and property neglect. The only response to the notice was "why am I canceling with no warning". Further attempts to close out the contract amicably have been ignored.

DON'T TRUST THIS COMPANY…read more They're only good for collecting rent - but not always crediting the rent payments to your account! On more than one occasion they actually cashed my rent payment check, and days later contacted me stating they had NOT received my rent, and were going to charge me a late fee.

Some could not even speak english, and would replaced broken appliances with other non-working appliances. Very dishonest. Never returned my Security Deposits, nor a statement of accounting.
