Should the same entity be allowed to manage accounts, impose financial penalties, and act as the debt collector on those same accounts?
Steph J.

In the State of California HOA's have a statatory limit of 20 Days to reply to Stirling Davis Act Document requests. I made a request on NOVEMBER 24 and below are my results. THIS BETTER MOTOVATE THE FOLKS AT OPTIMIUM TO GET ME THESE DOCUMENTS NOW. BEFORE I START POSTING EVERTHING IS THIS CLEAR??? I have been extremely disappointed with my experience dealing with Optimium Professional Property Management, owned by Debra Kovach. Since November 24, I have made at least 12 separate requests--by email and follow-up communications--for association records that homeowners are entitled to receive under California's Davis-Stirling Act. As of today, those documents have still not been provided, nor has there been a clear explanation for the continued delay. What is most frustrating is not just the lack of documents, but the lack of responsiveness and accountability. Requests are acknowledged sporadically, deadlines pass, and no meaningful progress is made. This has forced unnecessary follow-ups and wasted significant time. Homeowners rely on property management companies to act professionally, communicate clearly, and comply with basic statutory obligations. Unfortunately, my experience with Optimium Professional Property Management has fallen well short of those expectations. I am sharing this review so other homeowners and HOA boards can make an informed decision and understand what they may encounter when trying to obtain routine association records.

My name is John Horton I live at 2332 Sunningdale Dr., Tustin CA 92782 . 7 months ago there was a slab leak that came from my Nextdoor neighbor's house that leaked though my wall into my kitchen. This resulted in my kitchen being completely dismantled, weeks which turned in to months of testing for mold and miss communication between contractors and vendors resulted in me being without a kitchen or an inhabitable place to live. This all started on July 11th 2025, it's now January 21st 2026 and my kitchen is still not intact. The Property manager Lisa Chastain is completely incompetent!!! She use to take my phone calls but now it goes directly to voicemail. Really unprofessional. If I had a choice I would never use this company.

This company is criminal! They somehow tapped into my main water supply and refused to repair a leak that was caused by their plants on community property. Then they had a plumber repair it. The plumber never came into my property let alone into my home. Yet they are charging me for THEIR plumber! They actually committed theft by going into my account (set up for automatic payment of our ever increasing dues) and stole the money. The fence between my and my neighbors property is falling down. We both have dogs. My dogs are small and easily get through to their property. Yet, despite this all being on our PRIVATELY OWNED PROPERTIES, they have denied our requests to repair WITH THEIR FENCING GUY AND AT OUR EXPENSE!!!!!!!! Mind you not a single portion of the fence is in community property. They have sent me notices weekly alleging various violations. They set up hearing dates that I cannot attend BECAUSE I WORK AND HAVE A LIFE! They are chalking up bogus crimes for non-existent violations including leaving my garbage cans out for more than 12 hours. Our pick up is Friday. I believe this happened once or twice when I went away for the weekend. God forbid! They have had my car towed from in front of my house despite the fact that it was "safe listed." I have two cars including a Jeep. They do not both fit in my tiny "two" car garage which is also our my only place for storage. Thus one car has to be parked on the street. Ironically the entire board somehow has permits to do just that. Why do we even pay dues? I am going to file a police report for all money that they stole from my account and in addition, take them to court for harassment and a return of all stolen funds. I own my house or I would just move. I'm sick of the peoples republic of California and this company is the personification of a reason why this state is going down hill.

Worked with Leonard and Up Property Management for 2.5 years. I lived several states away from the…read moreproperty and required someone that would take care of it as if it was their own. Leonard and his team achieved just that. There were a few times that extensive repairs were required on the property and every step of the way I felt that things were being taken care of swiftly and thoroughly. When it came time to sell and the property was handed back over, it was left in pristine condition. This speaks volumes on Leonard's positive relationship with the tenants and his care for the property. I wholeheartedly recommend Leonard and Up Property Management to handle your property.

One of the most frustrating rental experiences I've had, largely due to how this was handled by…read moremanagement, specifically Christopher and David. The unit was listed at $4,200. We initially explored pricing and ultimately submitted a paid application for $4,000, not $3,800 as they later claimed in their response. We have email proof confirming this. We were also told there could be flexibility around $4,100 if we had strong documentation, which we did. Based on that, we were encouraged to apply, pay fees, and submit everything. After doing all of that, there was no real movement or consideration. What made this worse was their response, which included inaccurate statements about us "lowballing" and "going behind our agent." That is simply not true. We were fully transparent with our agent the entire time, and she can confirm that. We also have texts supporting it. Nothing was hidden or "found out" later. Instead of focusing on a reasonable $100 difference that could have easily made both parties happy, they chose to argue and escalate things publicly through responses rather than work toward a solution. That says a lot about their priorities. The bigger issue here is the lack of transparency. If the price was always firm at $4,200, that should have been clearly stated upfront. Instead, we were led to believe there was flexibility, only to find out after paying application fees that there wasn't. The communication throughout felt dismissive and unprofessional, and their response only reinforced that. My advice to anyone considering renting through them: be cautious before paying any application fees, and make sure any statements about pricing flexibility are clearly confirmed in writing. Based on this experience, I would not recommend working with this team.

I've been a tenant in one of AllView's properties for around three years, and the property managers…read moreand landlords, Mark & Andy, and Michelle & Marshall, have been wonderful. Their response times to maintenance requests and overall customer service have always been excellent. After several stable years, we recently experienced a number of condo issues following the rainy season. Every issue was handled compassionately and as promptly as possible. After submitting multiple maintenance requests (right before the end of business hours), we were contacted the same day and again the following day to schedule repairs. Since then, they've arranged for construction workers to repair a leak in the staircase ceiling, ant control services, a termite inspection for worn wood in our garage, and are currently scheduling the replacement of an outdated dishwasher with a brand-new one. Not only that, but every contractor they've sent for repairs in our condo have been very considerate and professional. When working on our roof, the crew explained the whole process beforehand, sealed off our entire staircase, and answered questions even on their breaks (not to mention they were understanding and warm towards my very confused ESA dog). The ant/pest control worker shared he's personally sprayed the landlord's home in the past, which gave me great peace of mind knowing that AllView only hires people they trust to work on the properties they themselves habituate. The termite inspection was quick and efficient. I appreciated the worker's professionalism as I noticed he immediately covered his shoes with plastic before entering to avoid tracking in mud or chemicals, which was thorough and kind of him. The two property managers who have stood out most during my time here, Andy and Mark, have always maintained clear and consistent communication regarding concerns, scheduling, and next steps, especially now as we move forward with termite treatment in the garage and the dishwasher replacement. I'd also like to add for any prospective renters: although our unit is under rent control, the landlords have always chosen minimal increases rather than the maximum allowed at lease renewal. In other words, these are genuinely good people. If you respect and take care of their property, they will absolutely take care of you.

Once we were able to talk and the realized the mix up, my problem was solved very quickly. Thank You to All at Diversified - they did a great job!! In JUNE 2016 I accidentally paid this company my HOA fee. My HOA has a very similar name and (I later found out) is in AZ. When I realized my error, I called right away and spoke to the admin. She took down all of my information and said AMHAD would call me back the next day. No call. I called back and she again said she would give him the info and I would receive a call back. Days later I called again as I had still not received a call. I again gave her the information: bank name, transaction date, amount, etc. STILL no call back! It is now SEPT 2016 and I have called back numerous times and STILL NOT had my payment refunded OR my call returned. This company is either a bunch of CROOKS or they have folded or been bought out. Either way, I feel like this was a simple error to fix and they are keeping my money intentionally. What a bunch of CROOKS!! If they are legit, then I feel sorry for the people who have them as their HOA! Now all I get when I call is a tape loop that takes me back to the same answering recording repeatedly and when I leave a message for AHMAD I still get no return call. I think I need to get in touch with the BBB in CA or an attorney. And all for a lousy $179.00 that they won't refund to me!!!!!
