Susan @ Sonoma Properties is a Life Saver! My partner and I have been renting via Sonoma Properties for over 2 years now. Susan has been our main contact for any and all issues that arise and has been extremely responsive and quick to action! We woke up this morning, in our old lovall valley loop home, to no working heat and a concerning smell emitting from the vents! we contacted Susan, before work hours, expressing our concern and she responded immediately! Throughout that day Susan worked to schedule a quality heating and air professional and, by the end of the day, we had been visited by a worker and had our issue completely resolved! We are endlessly thankful for the hard work of Susan and the team at Sonoma Properties and would recommend working with this organization to anyone looking to relocate to / within Sonoma! 5 stars! Would Recommend! read more

Sonoma Properties has been the best Property Management that we have experienced. We thoroughly enjoyed our communication with Marlena, Cameron, and Jennifer. Whenever we needed something or had an issue, they were there to accommodate our needs. Everything went smoothly in helping us find our first nest together. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts! read more

I am using Sonoma Properties to manage my rental property here in Sonoma. Their service is impeccable! I have worked with Marlena and Jennifer Powell. They are fantastic! They are both extremely responsive, knowledgeable, and very efficient in dealing with issues very quickly. They manage my rental completely. I receive great compliments about them from tenant as well. I cannot recommend them more highly. read more

I've lived in 2 long term rentals via Sonoma Properties and both experiences have been very positive. Susan always replied quickly to my maintenance requests as a renter. She knows very reliable plumbers, handyman, ac repairmen etc. The work was completed in a timely manner. Their tenant portal is really easy to use, submit rent payment and ask for maintenance help. Susan also texted and called to follow up with me. Both rentals were top notch properties and I would definitely recommend them for Sonoma!!!! read more

Sonoma Properties has been fantastic to work with. Marlena especially is super responsive about taking care of any maintenance issues. I could not be happier! read more

We're very nice but I put in my application and no answer they just went MIA no phone answers no email answers. But the property is still available I even asked if I just didn't qualify no answer. Very unprofessional I've left many messages for a call back and not read more

Called to make an appointment for a viewer. I talked to a lady who was super rude right off the bat. She would t let me even set up an appointment to just view a place because I said I had pets. She wasn't helpful at all and made me not want to even try working with this company. So incredibly disappointing read more

We had a fantastic experience working with Marlena from Sonoma properties! She helped us to secure a new home for our family and was professional, friendly, and responsive throughout the process, including a great tour of the home and insights on the neighborhood and town. The application and lease process was super easy to do online which was great given our busy work schedules. Her colleague Susan also helped us do the final walkthrough, all around the entire team was great and we're so happy we found our new home with their help! read more

I can't speak highly enough of Sonoma Properties. For 20 years - yes, 20! - they've managed our rental home in Sonoma, and they've done a superb job. Always professional, always on top of things, friendly, responsive... what more can I say? Oh, that they look for affordable options when it comes to repairs and their charges as property managers are very reasonable. I have mainly worked with Brian and Julie, and latterly Jennifer, and they are all a pleasure to know. We've been long-distance owners, as we live in the UK, and I've always known that our property was in excellent and very secure hands. read more

I rented through Sonoma Properties last year and it was an easy experience. Loved the property! I had to move again this year due to roommate changes. Marlena knew I was looking again and she absolutely crushed it in finding me a place!! She had seen my decorating style and when she saw this creekside cabin open up she called me right away to get me in and told the owner my tenant strengths. I'm now in this spot and LOVING it. Love the support and way she thought of me -- it got me here!! read more

I would recommend Sonoma Properties over any other property company in the area. Marlena and Julie went above and beyond to make sure that I found a home I really loved! They are so caring, professional, timely and worked really hard for me making my move easy and stress free. If I could give them more than x5 stars I would because they deserve it. Marlena came to bring me keys did a complete walk through and a thorough check of home to make sure anything and everything was documented before hand which is awesome. They even checked on me after move to let me know they are there if I needed anything from them. Many blessings to you lady's for all that you do. read more

I have rented twice properties managed by Sonoma Properties. They are professional, friendly and quick to respond if there was a need. The properties themselves are well maintained. read more

Marlena is a seasoned, friendly, efficient agent who got us quickly settled up here in Sonoma after 40 years in Marin. What makes her great? Super responsive, kind, open to finding ways to make anything possible. Could not recommend her more highly. read more

This is my first review on Yelp, and I'm thrilled to endorse Sonoma Properties. I have used their services 3 times within the last year. I am generally reluctant doing business with property management companies because I have had less than standard experiences. Sonoma Properties is the exception. They're staff is impeccable, professional, and extremely attentive. I'd like to highlight one of their employees (Marlena) who assisted me on all of my transactions. She was so nice and helpful. Her level of customer service and area knowledge was impressive. I would definitely recommend Sonoma Properties, a company with integrity you can trust. read more

Sonoma Properties is amazing!! They manage my airbnb and I couldn't be happier. The listing is great and they handle all the guests that stay there. Susan is the person that manages my place and she goes above and beyond. All the staff is great!! read more

I have rented many houses over the years and I have to honestly say that Sonoma Properties is the most responsive management company I have ever dealt with. We are renting a house that has just been put the market and we have encountered a few issues that needed attention. In every case I submitted an online request and always received a call within 30 minutes. Just as importantly, their service folks are first rate. read more

We rented a property in Sonoma from this company. When we moved in, it smelled and was not clean. Even the silverware drawer ,dishes, refrigerator and microwave were dirty. The bathroom was disgusting . I had to go in with bleach and clean EVERYTHING! We complained about the mouse crap and they did nothing... When he moved out I cleaned everything and shampooed the carpet. If you rent from this company, beware... She had the nerve to charge us for half the cleaning ! read more

I wish I could have no stars but I will settle for one. I rented a property from Sonoma Properties and I have not rented a home in over 25 years and what a bad experience. It took four months to get a sliding door fixed is one example of how difficult it was to get anything done. The staff was dismissive and at time rude. My neighbors warned me of how difficult they were and they were right. I now own my home and moved out and even that was challenging and again, staff not kind. My suggestion, find a rental that is not represented by them. read more

Never wrote a review, I felt compelled to after the phone call I just had. I called to inquire if any properties were coming available in the next month. Granted, I realize properties can come to the market at any time, but was curious if she knew of any that she could tell me ahead of time. I encountered a rude, curt and unhelpful woman. She treated me as if she was doing me a favor by speaking to me. She answered the questions I asked as if She was bored with me. I asked if she could recommend other properties that were not managed by Sonoma properties that maybe I could call. She referred me to Zillow and didn't answer my question. I asked again, if she knew of any apartment complexes that were in the area NOT managed by Sonoma properties since I will be relocating there and she said go on the websites. Would it have hurt to just name a few ? I won't rent with this company after how I was treated over the phone. read more

Firstly, it took a full 4 weeks for our application to be processed. Toward the end of that time period, we received a call from George, who was initially handling our applications. He had a few questions clarifying that it would be me, my husband, and our daughter living in the house and also that we have a dog. He did not alert us to any issues and said he was waiting on a final answer from the owners who he believed were out of town. He then emailed us to say the owners wanted to meet. We responded immediately with available dates and times and proceeded to wait another 3 business days and a weekend for a reply. Then Jennifer unexpectedly took over. She called my husband to ask the same questions George had asked plus some seemingly odd and condescending questions about his education level and if we were aware of move-in costs stated in the listing i.e. 1st months rent and deposit + an additional $500 for the pet deposit. She was very unpleasant. The day we had finally set to meet the owners, Jennifer called us a few hours ahead to inform us the owners had decided to pass on our applications because "they had found out through your social media that you have a dog" which she now claimed was not stated on our applications despite multiple correspondence about him. She also refused to provide copies of our applications, which are not accessible through their website once submitted, to confirm that claim. I have never lied about our dog on a rental application. In fact, he's an emotional support animal and I'm certain I attached his certification letter to our applications. Overall, our experience with Sonoma Properties was extremely slow, insulting, and discriminatory. Happy to report our application was denied as this company is clearly not kind, caring, or competent, and were accepted later that day for a house we were excited about. read more

Be careful with Sonoma Properties. We rented a home they managed for a few years, and upon giving them notice, they lumped in several expenses they hadn't actually incurred and ultimately had to reimburse us for. Be careful about signing the closing walk-through statement. I chose not to because I didn't agree with their assessment of the conditions. If you don't agree 100%, don't sign it. They are obligated to give you a chance to correct things yourself, but in my case they didn't. They made up fake invoices and when I called them out on their charges, they reimbursed most everything. Also, as a side note, their maintenance and repair services were just ok, but that's the owner's problem I suppose. Lastly, the person doing the final walk-through was very unprofessional creating unnecessary tension for what should just be a quick assessment of the conditons. I would recommend working with another property manager such as Woodfield Properties. I rented space from them for my business, and they were easy to work with and fair-minded the entire duration. read more

We had a fantastic experience with George in finding the right house and location. He was very professional and great sense of humor. He is a great asset to Sonoma Properties and would highly recommend him. Cheers George! read more

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!! 3 weeks ago I turned in a application for a house they had placed on the market 7 months before I even applied for the home, the agents name was GEORGE who was dealing with our application & told us that it NEVER takes more than 72 hrs for a response... we both paid the company 40$ each for fees & running our credit ...a week went by with no word from owner or reality company then 2 weeks so at this point I decided to contact Sonoma properties again to look at another house George once again showed us this house we told him we were not interested in the home & we still waiting on the first one we loved. Now today we're at 3 weeks no response from anyone not even George to say sorry haven't herd anything or even just a courtesy call letting us know what was going on . When I finally talKed to George he told me we did not get the second house that WE NEVER APPLIED FOR when I asked for my money back he said that our money was used for the application fees on second home .... we are beyond furious because we didn't like the second home and would have never even lived there even if we had got it.... I would noT suggest using this company they will steal your money & not return your calls!!!!!!! read more

We just leased a house through Sonoma Properties here in Sonoma and are very pleased with the help/assistance we received from George. He showed us a house we were interested in, then suggested another also while in the area ,to view in comparison, because he noticed that we were sold on the first one. He could sense that we were still wishing for more. The second house was excellent, perfectly suited to what we were looking for, and had just become available. So thanks to George showing us this property, we are moving next week and are extremely happy! - He explained the lease carefully and really thoroughly. He is extremely pleasant, very knowledgeable and we feel that he understands what we need, and he is well informed with leasing and the entire process. Thank you guys for helping us out, we recommend this Company, and I don't normally write reviews but felt George really excelled in helping us achieve our needs, when we were panicked and no had no where to live! read more
