Apartment 3
Nancy O.

My family & I enjoyed staying at one of the apartment buildings owned by Comana Company for 5 wonderful years. It was such a beautiful experience living in a family oriented environment. I also want to thank Pedro the manager, he was always helpful and responsive whenever we messaged him . Thank you

LPGA golf tournament in Phoenix AZ. My wife is a LPGA teaching Professional and was teaching lessons at this LPGA tournament.

I have been using Comana Property Management for a couple of years. My contact person is Luz Gracia. I have to recognize Luz. This is the person you want on your team. Luz always works hard for me getting me the answers and her recommendations I always need. She always either answers her cell phone or calls back immediately. Luz is always a pleasure to work with and always gives me a piece of mind that everything is going great. Luz thank you so much! Willie Moore

It's been two months since I approved the work request and my tenant still has not had this area patched and painted.
Chiesha K.

I'm a property owner and have three properties I keep as rental homes. I would never recommend working with Alex Comana. He is a terrible person and will take his commission money but not understand anything that is going on at your rental home. He does not train his staff property. Alex's recent employee, Laura, royally screwed up so much over the past eight months with poor communication that they have put me into position that is extremely risky as a homeowner. Yet all Alex could do was blame me and try to weasel out of owning up to his poor hiring decisions. The first I heard of my tenant not being able to use her stove for eight months was yesterday when his new employee Joe Locke emailed me to tell me that I'm facing litigation if I don't pay up and give the tenant money and pay back rent to them. Excuse me? Why have I not heard about this sooner? Why are you threatening me and telling me I owe the tenant? Where were you in managing my unit so that this doesn't happen? It's clear to me that Alex is not on the tenant side and certainly not on the owner side either. I am not quite sure what Alex is doing in this business. Alex is a very poor businessman and does not have the temperament to do a quality job at Property Management. He's sloppy and careless. I don't trust him and I will never use his services again. He could've just owned up to the fact that his employee Laura left my tenant high and dry, but instead he chose to blame me when I did absolutely nothing wrong except order brand new appliances. Shame on you, Alex. Shame shame. --------------------- Update: look at Alex's reaction to a unsatisfied customer. Can't please everyone? When I spoke to him on the phone asking why I haven't been kept in the loop as to the problems going on at my rental home, he said he DIDN'T KNOW. I recorded the conversation. Three times I asked him pointed questions that he should know the answer to as a business owner and his response was I don't know, you'll have to ask ____. I have to ask Joe? Your employee? Or Laura, your former employee who, according to your email in March, was leaving to pursue another real estate opportunity. I have to ask them??? Why don't you know Alex? Why don't you know that my tenants wall is still not fixed after two months? I gave Laura permission to do that work within three minutes of receiving the work order on Feb 6. My tenant still does not have the patch completed. You told me that if we just chose your vendors none of this would have happened. You're a liar and you know you are. You know you dropped the ball. Joe knows you dropped the ball. We all know and it's not looking good for you. What a petty man to have to cut me off while speaking, not let me ask what is happening, and threaten me with a lawsuit if I don't pay my tenant a rent credit suddenly. So you wanted to "please everyone" by forcing the homeowner to pay a rent credit to a tenant after your employees got them so enraged for 8 months they want to move? Luckily I contacted my tenant and will be moving forward with a direct relationship from now on so you can't screw this up anymore. Own your part in this. You are running a high volume property management business. If you have 500 homes you manage, maybe scale back a bit so you can provide the type of service you say you do. People will see this and make the decision to stay away from you and protect their interests with another firm. You don't have the business mind to do this high volume work. Stop blaming your homeowners. That's the hand that feeds you. Get your priorities straight, then none of this would happen.

Stephanie, my property manager has proven to be very patient and responsive to my emails. Remember…read moreshe is managing many other units as well. As a homeowner one needs to realize that any decision involving spending money on repairs will need to be approved by the HOA Board members first. As a homeowner one MUST partake in monthly HOA meetings and contribute to those meetings in a civil way. HOA Board members are VOLUNTEERS who give up their time to manage the affairs of the Building. These Board members are regular people who also have full time jobs so do your part and ask to help whenever and wherever you can. Things in an HOA will not move as fast as if you were living in your own single family home and making your own financial decisions so be patient and participate. When attending HOA meetings ask the following: Who is reviewing monthly utility bills for variances? Which expenses are leading to HOA fee increases? Are monthly budgets in place and are we going over them? How are vendors being selected? Do vendors have good reviews on Yelp/BBB? Is there a bidding process when choosing a vendor? (like asking for 3 proposals from 3 different vendors). Also keep in mind that a job done well the first time is better than a job that was done poorly at a lower price. Better to pay a bit more and get a job done well.

Personally, I've lived in 4 HOA communities, and this is hands down the worst one that I've ever…read moredealt with in my lifetime, and I'll lay out why. Maintenance and repairs: Good luck. If you need something done they're going to try doing it as cheaply as possible IF they even get to it, by having the HOA president Richard's son Jeff attempt the fix, and not hiring a professional unless it's absolutely a necessity for them to. We have had holes in carports in the community for MONTHS. Not just a few days, MONTHS. They have been "too busy" to repair them or even install an access panel door like any logical person would to access the piping or valves in the future. The fences are falling apart and have needed repair but they'll cut a new board and throw it on there to fix a hole, with no plan to actually replace them. The water heaters for several units are definitely failing, and they keep patching problems instead of fixing them there too. Stucco doesn't match on the front of some units from repairs done, because again it wasn't done professionally. Lettering has been missing from buildings for years. The excuse for delaying any repair is "funding," (when they have a reserve fund of nearly $170,000). Also, their water sprinkler system only works in part of the community. The other half? SOL. But you aren't supposed to have a water hose for your yard. Math that one out. The neighborhoods: homeless and thieves run rampant at night. If it's not locked down, and it looks useful to them, it'll probably be stolen. I've had numerous packages stolen and now just ship them to my friends house for pickup. We have tried offering suggestions to fix this issue and the HOA has taken no action to fix anything (gates for parking lot security, signage, police presence at times, cameras, anything). Towing isn't really enforced either (until the right person gets mad about it). We had neighbors with drug issues for a while as well and the HOA did nothing to help push them out. Members of the neighborhood had to take personal action and hound the police to get a resolution. Communication: Absolutely terrible. Elizabeth H is who handles our community, and it's hell trying to keep in contact with her or get an answer on an issue in a timely manner. Speaking to an assistant usually gives you an answer to curb your reaction because they generally try to avoid speaking directly to homeowners, which, isn't that the opposite of what you'd want? I'd rather be able to openly talk to the people taking $600 from me every month. Cost: $600 now. SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS A MONTH FOR AN HOA THAT DOES NEXT TO NOTHING FOR YOU. Prices have steadily increased on an annual basis and I expect them to keep climbing. Lawn maintenance is a joke, I have to trim my own hedges a lot of the time, and I had to handle any of my yard plants on my own unless they became a nuisance to a structure per the HOA. They justify the cost as saying they have to pay for electrical panel upgrades per the state of CA, and that makes it where they can't afford to do anything else and are trying to not charge the homeowners an assessment. Once those upgrades are done, their insurance premium is supposed to drop. But will your dues? Anyway, overall, if you are moving in, good luck getting any issue at all resolved. They'll probably talk to you if it's not a problem, but if it's negative and needs resolution, expect to figure it out on your own for the most part.

I'm very happy with Simon!!!…read more Renting is stressful and I was looking for a PM that put me at ease. I talked to the references Simon provided, and he soon became my top contender. He offered to be my singular source of contact and to secure a superior quality of renter for my 'home'. He is very experienced and soft spoken but strong armed. I took his recommendations and got the whole house painted, got new carpeting, resurfaced cabinets and pressure washed etc. I had a renter within 2 months of this process. (The only thing is Nobel Real Estate wouldn't lower the 'expenditure without approval' to below $850, so... ) I am really pleased with Simon.

The first time I met the agent, I told him that I wasn't working with any other agent and that he…read morewould be my agent. He followed up with me for several days, and I started working with his broker. Unfortunately, his broker was not very professional. I had already put down $300,000 and owned another home that was fully paid off and worth about $550,000. Yet the broker told me I needed to put down $600,000 to buy a home priced at $850,000 . After that, I went to another broker and got pre-approved almost immediately. I qualified for the home without any problems. All I can say is that they were not very professional. In my opinion, Simon seemed focused only on money. I felt that he was trying to earn commissions from both sides. When I decided not to use his broker, my offer was not accepted, and I was told that another offer had been accepted instead. That was my experience, and it left me feeling that my interests were not the priority.

Update: Aaron, while I appreciate the response it has taken me posting this on a public forum like…read morethis to get a reply from your organization. This has been an ongoing problem for multiple years now and one of your employees, John has basically told us to go "screw ourselves" and to stop contacting him. These tenant have been an extreme problem since day one. Selling drugs, prostitution not to mention damage to the community property. We have been trying to work with both your organization and the owner of the unit and have basically been told to piss off. The member of our community don't feel safe and your organization has done nothing to help. Now your tenants have again vandalized the community property just last night, destroying security cameras. They continue to prop open security doors and further create an unsafe situation for all the other residence. I know it does not directly effect you or your employees and company but those of us that live there are being held hostage in a very unsafe environment, one that should have been taken more seriously from the beginning. Now it has reached critical level and you are finally paying attention. Aaron, if you want to make this right, please hire a security guard to stay on property to protect those of us that have been terrorized by your tenants. Thank you. Originals post: Worst property management company I've dealt with. Tranquility manages a rental unit in our 8-unit condo complex, and they have done nothing to address serious, ongoing problems with the tenants they placed there. These tenants are in constant violation of our HOA rules, and police are now responding to the unit weekly for domestic disturbances. Our HOA has repeatedly reached out to Tranquility to resolve the situation, and each time we've been dismissed and told, essentially, that it's not their problem. Meanwhile, the rest of us in the community feel unsafe in our own homes because of a situation Tranquility refuses to take seriously. If you're considering this company to manage your property, know that they will not step up when real problems arise. .

Tranquility is one of 3 managers who hav managed our 5 unit rentals in North Park near Morley Field…read moreand have given outstanding performance, at least an order of magnitude superior to the other 2 Companie. Specifically, Randy has served as the Principal interface between us, the owners and our renters, external service providers and local City Officials with precision, attention to detail, and most importantly courtesy and respect when dealing for our clients/renters. All done with the friendliest attitudes. In my opinion they are a blessing to property owners who need their experienc, wisdom and kindness towards the people who rent our property. Kudos and many thanks to the loyal staff of Tranquility Management Company who have supported us in many ways, and in many instances were almost transparent or even invisible. Honesty, Loyalty, Transparency : Great Folks, Great Service, Great Company - we always have felt nothing but gratitude towards Tranquility Management Company - may they and their future tenants and owners prosper as we have because of the close relationship we've enjoyed with them, Grant & Mary
