I had a misplaced package at my old apartment, and she was able to mediate with the tentant to ensure our things were returned and she was extremely professional during this encounter. Maria was reliable, communicative and very open minded. This could have been a headache, but she was such a great person, I was so impressed by her demeanor and readiness to help me regardless if I wasn't residing there anymore. Thank you so much Maria for your help. Such a great property manager.

I found Marissa Santos through Zillow last September 2025. I found a few homes on the Zillow…read morewebsite that I wanted to take a look at. She took me around and showed me a variety of places, but then I got cold feet. Several months later, she called me back and that's when the magical journey began. Marissa Santos is hands-down the best Realtor I've ever worked with. I needed to sell my current home and buy a new one at the same time--definitely a stressful process. However, with Marissa and the PorchLight Realty team, it was a completely seamless experience. Marissa is exceptionally patient, attentive, and has an incredible eye for detail. She really listened to what I was looking for and made me feel heard. While I was nervous about the logistics, Marissa's confidence never wavered. She kept me in the loop every step of the way. Her team was so well-organized, from the paperwork coordination to the contractors who worked on the house. Remarkably, both escrows were completed in slightly over one month! With Marissa, I felt like I was on a winning team. The experience was worth every penny spent!! She helped make my dream come true, and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

They offer a wide variety of locations with different housing sizes and pricing. In order to view an apartment, it's very simple and I love a self tour.

A big shout out to Anna, for always answering all my questions and being incredibly friendly. Whenever I want to live somewhere new in San Diego, I'll be checking there site first! The apartment themselves are amazing too. Honestly they have been greatly priced and well taken care of. I've lived in City Heights and North Park, and both locations were beautiful, with little to no problems.

I'm giving Mendes a 3 star because I am in the middle after my previous experience living in one of…read moretheir properties for a year. To begin- We rarely had problems. When we did have minor maintenance issues, they were very quick to respond. The maintenance guys were very sweet and respectful and always willing to go above and beyond and I really appreciate that. On the other hand- When my room flooded with over two inches of water on a holiday, I was unable to get a hold of maintenance in any way shape or form. If you are in an emergency maintenance situation that is not worthy of calling 911 on a holiday or weekend...good luck, because there is not emergency maintenance number and their automated Robot that the maintenance line sends you to, is terrible and never accurate. I will say, once we did get a hold of them, they were helpful. However it did not feel like enough compared to what we had gone through. In addition- with most of the roadblocks we did face during our lease, flooding included, they were quick to indemnify us and help and I appreciate that. It felt like they did what was in their power as landlords. This was just part of my experience, but I have had immensely worse and uncaring landlords living in the SDSU area compared to Mendes. Take that with what you will. In the end, they are good landlords, just with a few frustrations.

My experience with Southwest Equity Partners was disappointing, not because problems occurred, but…read morebecause of how they were handled. During my residency I experienced multiple issues, including move-in lockouts, months of elevator noise, a freezer/ice maker that never functioned properly, billing errors that were initially denied and later corrected, and communication that often focused on closing work orders rather than confirming the resident's experience had actually been resolved. I repeatedly escalated concerns and was often told issues had already been addressed, even when they had not. In one case I was told my utility billing was correct, only to later receive a credit after another review. My freezer was also described as repaired months before it actually worked. The property itself is beautiful, and many of the onsite staff and residents were kind. My concern is with the management culture. There seemed to be a greater emphasis on administrative completion than on making sure residents genuinely felt heard or cared for. If you're considering living at one of their communities, ask detailed questions about how maintenance issues are verified, how utility charges are calculated, and how resident concerns are escalated. A luxury property should provide a luxury experience--not just luxury finishes.

We own 3 little houses in Normal Heights. We live in one and rent out the other two. We needed a…read moreproperty management company. But our property is old and of modest quality; it has several quirks. Initially, we went with Cal-Prop b/c of Melissa Kleifgen, one of their V-Ps. She knows about property management AND construction; she has helped coordinate improvements. She is friendly, direct, straightforward, and a solid communicator. She knows when to show her formal side, and when to reveal her sense of humor. Later, we discovered that they have an outstanding handyperson, Dirk. He must have a magic wand in his tool box. He is versatile, resourceful, and adaptable. He does quality work, with an eye to longevity. Example: We wanted to replace a back door at a vacant rental. At a yard sale, we found a gently-used "Hollywood" door. It's the kind that has little windows that you can slide up and down. Although it was too tall and too wide, he trimmed it to fit. It opens and shuts SMOOTHLY. He also notices things that need attention that we have overlooked. For instance, after the appliance company had replaced a gas stove with an electric one, he decided to cap off the gas line so that it could not be opened by accident. Dirk and some others did a fine job fixing up our vacant house. And Melissa and her team found us a pleasant new tenant. All within 27 days of when the former tenants had moved out! And they have been prompt about sending out a variety of people when repairs have been needed. We were nervous, but we didn't need to be. We are relieved.

I am extremely disappointed with the level of service and professionalism provided by this company,…read moreparticularly by my assigned account manager, Angxxxx, Throughout my experience, I found the communication, responsiveness, and handling of my property matters to be unacceptable and below professional standards. My tenant moved out on May 22, 2026. However, I was not notified promptly and only became aware after I contacted the account manager for an update. In addition, I was provided with an incorrect lockbox code, which prevented access to the property. Because this occurred over a weekend when the office was closed and assistance was unavailable, I had no choice but to change the lock in order to access the property and begin necessary repairs. After gaining access, the company proposed charging me more than $8,000 for repairs. I disagreed with the assessment and chose to have my own contrator to complete the necessary work. The repairs were completed properly, and I provided receipts and documentation within the required 21-days period. Based on my understanding, the appropriate charges should have been processed against the tenant's security deposit, but I received no follow-up communication or documentation from the company. Instead, the company refused to return my security deposit funds, claiming the money was being held as a reserve for repairs. This explanation was unreasonable because the property was vacant and I had already paid for the repairs myself. After multiple discussions and continued follow-up, I was finally able to recover the funds that should have been returned to me. Due to these ongoing issues, I terminated the company's management services. Following termination, the company failed to return my spare keys and parking permit. When I requested their return, I was told that no spare keys or parking permit were in their possession. This statement is incorrect. I personally provided the company with the keys and parking permit, and they were responsible for returning all property belonging to me upon termination of services. The overall handling of my account demonstrated poor communication, lack of accountability, and a failure to provide the level of professional service expected from a property management company. I am concerned that my requests were not handled appropriately after I ended the business relationship, and I expect the company to take responsibility for its actions and improve its procedures to prevent similar situations from occurring with other clients.

Yelp doesn't lie -- Legends Escrow is as good as it gets. Our family has worked with them at least…read morefour times to date and my experience with the staff is always very positive; and I've always felt as though they really listen. This review is for Joe Salvatore and his team of 15 or so escrow ladies!!! Joe is the very definition of Quality - he's a standup honest guy. I consider myself very particular and very hard to please. Joe and Vickie Everly listened to our situation and worked very quickly to create solutions for each and every predicament that we had immediate issues on; before even opening the escrow deal. There were a lot of people involved with the sale and my relatives made this deal more complicated than I thought humanly possible. Considering the confusion upfront, the group was calmly put at ease when talking with Joe about what options we had and the direction moving forward to create timely suggestions and directional leading. Our neighborhood is made up of posh intelligent home owners who expect the most of all that live around them, thus the same persists of who we deal with in real estate and in services. We've worked with Vickie Everly, Kathy Saint and Voncile Cater in deals past and now we're closing another transaction with Vickie Everly and she is on the ball! We've been informed and up-to speed on all that is happening in the deal the whole time. Good Job Vickie!! What else is great is that Joe knows the area, he knows the HOA's and he knows some if not all the neighbors. We welcome the Legends Escrow staff with open arms the next time we buy or sell and you should too. I trust Joe and his team with our four home sales today and for years to come. I would work with Legends Escrow again in a heartbeat.

They were really friendly during the interaction and made everything clear to me. The process was smooth and accommodating to my schedule.

I received a phone call from them mentioning that the check they issued me has not been cashed yet so they sent all the paperwork that came included along with the check for me to keep for my records and so I could deposit the check! Most other companies would not have done the same due diligence as well as taken care of me. I would definitely use them again for the next real estate transaction and highly recommend them!
