I have never been more let down by a business than I was let down by Best Life. Run away from this…read morebusiness. Everything seemed really great BEFORE I had tenants, there was lots of open communication, she explained everything. I felt like we were partners. But then as soon as I had people interested in the house, I had NO INFORMATION given to me about any of the financials. I was not privy to their lease agreement, the amount of the deposit, anything. I was also not given any information about when payments would be disbursed until I reached out and asked. This didn't feel like transparency. I was finally given my first payment 12 days after tenants moved into my house. I received a very small fraction of what they paid on move in. This was expected! Expensive, but expected. What was not expected was the re-key fee that Best Life charged me. I left complete sets of keys, there was no need to charge me the rekey. This shouldn't have been a big deal, but I received nothing but defensive communication in response. No apology. She offered to remove the fee but didn't apologize, when I explained why I was frustrated she FIRED ME. That was it. I would have loved for this to be a great experience with no hidden fees--this business advertises pricing transparency--but instead, on my very first disbursement there was a hidden fee. Disappointing to say the least. ALL I NEEDED WAS AN APOLOGY, INSTEAD SHE FIRED ME. I have no idea what will happen to my poor tenants.

However, they did send out a great maintenance person, Jerry Grow, within hours of my submitting a request about a clogged drain and non-functioning garbage disposal. Jerry diagnosed the issue and replaced the garbage disposal and unclogged the drain and was very intentional about not leaving a mess, which I really appreciated. He definitely went above and beyond and made sure I didn't have any other maintenance issues that needed to be addressed while he was there. He also gave clarifying information about an issue with the property, and how it was going to be addressed, as well as the best way for us as tenants to contact the manager. Jerry definitely gets five stars in my book.

I would never live here again. I can never get a response from maintenance--big, small, emergent,…read morenot urgent, doesn't matter. It couldn't be more stressful to ask for some basic thing from someone specifically designated for that and get nothing but the middle finger and knowing every future need will be treated the same. Unfortunately things keep popping up forcing me to seek their help. I never get contacted after my requests and I've even had them cleared from the system before being addressed. And considering these are older properties, needing some kind of maintenance seems inevitable. Every time I have to reach out I hope it will be different and I'll be pleasantly surprised, but I will say, they are very consistent at avoiding their jobs.

Ted was the…read moreone who initially got me set up, and eventually Brandon V. became my dedicated property manager. Before partnering with VIP, I dealt with shady tenants, late rent payments, and property damage that was beyond belief. Managing these rentals had become a time-consuming and stressful burden. Since bringing VIP on board, everything has changed. They've thoroughly vetted tenants, handled every issue professionally, and transformed my properties into true income-generating investments. What was once a source of stress is now a streamlined, hands-off experience. I couldn't recommend them more highly.

I am so thankful to have found her on Yelp two years ago, and want to make sure I pay it forward to other folks in this community looking for a property manager. On a monthly basis, Linah sends me a comprehensive income statement, including photos of receipts for expenses that the property incurred. For bigger expenses, Linah diligently gets quotes, shows the quotes, and recommends the best course of action. She also cares about the properties themselves, keeping track of when we're supposed to clean gutters, update the landscape and do maintenance and repair work. When there are issues, she level sets with me calmly and with recommendations in mind, so I've never felt like there's been any real headaches with owning this property from afar. I resoundingly recommend Linah at Barnaby Property Management and I'm looking forward to more years of working together!

So if I have a problem with them coming before 8am I need to take it up with them. Way to take responsibility for the people you hire Cascade Management. Another strike again Cascade Management.

Whenever we needed anything addressed, they always led with integrity and trustworthiness. The Claremont is located in a bustling area of SE Portland with lots of eateries and shops within walking distance from home, which we appreciated. The unit we rented had a lot of natural light and storage and was very clean. The landscaping and common areas were also well maintained and we found that the extra storage assigned to our unit suited our needs. We appreciated the online portal Greenbridge utilized to simplify the process for making rent payments and scheduling maintenance. When the time came for us to leave after we bought a home in the area, Greenbridge was stellar in their professionalism and worked with us to schedule the walk-through and return our deposit. Finalizing the transition was very easy. Everyone who works at Greenbridge Properties is excellent at what they do. It was always a pleasure working with them, from receiving the keys to returning them. We also recommend Claremont Apartments for people interested in living in the heart of SE Portland's energizing culture.
