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.

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!

Bobbi and Alicia are truly excellent, and I recommend them wholeheartedly. My wife and I were…read morelooking for our first house, and had never been through the homebuying process before. Bobbi helped us define our requirements and really helped us crystalize what we were looking for - asking questions we didn't think we needed to know the answers to - but ended up being highly valuable and helped us narrow down our search criteria. Now, that meant we were looking for a goldilocks house that was just right for us. But we were in a position to bide our time and learn what areas and layouts we liked and didn't like. Bobbi helped us through all of it and was thorough, professional, and thoughtful. We truly believe having Bobbi and Alicia as our buyers agent gave us an advantage in the market. Bobbi negotiated excellent concessions and helped us have confidence we weren't buying a lemon. It was surreal when we finally got our keys, and we couldn't be happier with our new home. Thank you Bobbi and Alicia!

"Sterling Properties Real Estate Services LLC assumed management of Lone Oak Trailer Court, Oak…read moreGrove, OR on June 1, 2026. Their introduction letter named the company but no individual property manager contact -- a potential violation of ORS 90.305. Multiple residents called Sterling repeatedly for weeks with no callbacks and no responses. When I called their Vancouver, WA office requesting our property manager's contact information, the receptionist refused to provide a last name and was shockingly rude. June & August rent statements arrived with zero Sterling contact information -- no address, phone, email, or website -- despite their introduction letter devoting an entire page to payment instructions. July rent statement included a page with contact information, but only after I sent Scott Hess a copy of my MMCRC complaint. After I cited ORS 90.305 in writing and contacted their licensed property manager Scott Hess directly, Sterling responded promptly and provided individual contacts and park rules. Prior to that: weeks of silence. Our community consists largely of working class residents, many non-English speaking, elderly, and disabled. Sterling's responsiveness appears directly proportional to how much leverage a resident has. Documentation exists. MMCRC has been notified." For context: our previous management company, Pure Property Management & owner property management people, were responsive, professional, and respectful ~ unlike Sterling.

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.

Lack of communication, worst maintenance experience I've had. Glad I moved out. If you rent with them, make sure you replace all of your blinds, even if they are not damaged because one replacement of the blinds will cost as much as all of them in your unit. $237 to be exact for one blind replacement. Also, don't bother to wash the carpet because even though I was told they wouldn't deduct of my deposit if I washed it, they still took my money. I ended up owing them $28.41 on top of my $1500 deposit based on, 3 blinds, a door, carpet cleaning and some trim damaged that was already there when I moved in. Same with one of the blinds, the other one just had some bent pieces but not broken. According to them, that's damaged even though they are over 10years old. Absolutely insane! Take them to small claims with all the evidence I need.
