I was looking for rental information in Santa Maria, and she went above and beyond to provide detailed, thoughtful insights that were extremely helpful. It's rare these days to come across someone who truly cares and takes the time to help, even when there's nothing directly in it for them. Her kindness and expertise really stood out, and I won't hesitate to reach out again or recommend her to others. Thank you again, Stacy--you made what could have been a stressful experience into a smooth and positive one!

December 2024 we asked for a lease extension which we do yearly. Typically, we hear back within a few weeks. We never heard anything and had to keep asking...Toby Soto and Susy Parrot were nothing but non-communicative. When they did communicate we were harassed...daily. I have the text messages to confirm. I had to block their text line. We moved out in March of 2025. They've since tried listing the property that has termites that have not been treated, has carpenter bees, the back fence is falling down and there are rats everywhere because of the ivy growing between properties at 1690 juniper in Solvang for $4200 over $1200 more than we were paying. There are birds that live inside the attic and the plumbing all backs up monthly. The property isn't renting...as it's in awful shape. It has brick floors which tore all of our feet up over the 5 years we lived there...a small kitchen, the bathtub & "master shower" which is the size of a beach shower both back up monthly and many other problems. They tried to say we stole the washer and dryer in the unit which we replaced and were told we could replace because they don't keep accurate records. They tried to send us notices to clean the carpets professionally before moving out. There are NO carpets in this home. Brick and old outdated wood. Again they don't keep accurate records. They didn't even have our move in inspection on file. Surprise!! I have it still. Thank god! The fridge/fridge sucks and needs to be replaced as well as the dishwasher and stove/oven. There is no microwave in the unit, don't know why they're listing it with one . The garage door also needs to be replaced. There is a leak somewhere in the walls between the master and hall bath and it creates a leak in the floor boards which we were cited for even with a request to fix and photos back from 2020. Tried saying it was from going in and out of the shower/bath when we not once in 5 years used the master shower and the damaged was on the other side of the toilet and an unfinished maintenance request from 2020. They've since lowered the price to $3900. DO NOT RENT THIS PROPERTY FROM THEM or any property from plus property. They are not honest people nor do they care about anything but money. We're working with a lawyer and have also reported them to the BBB! Hopefully saving others from this disaster.

Highly recommended. WHY?…read moreMy property in Los Alamos could not be in better hands. Over the past years their care and attention to both me as an owner and to my tenants has been exemplary. It's the small details that matter. There has never been a problem with the small details.

I have never had any reason to complain and (even better for me) I have never had one complaint from any of my tenants over the 16 years I have been using this service.

They also charged me for broken sprinklers and dry spots in the grass even though the sprinklers were always broken and maintained by them.

If you rent from them take DETAILED PICTURES AND VIDEOS upon moving in and out or you may not get your deposit back. I do not recommend using their business.

We had contracted with a 5 Cities management company we had used before (but now under new…read moreownership). It took them a week to respond to our initial request (and then we got a lame reason for the delay.). We didn't get a readable copy of the contract, weren't told they'd be holding the tenant's security deposit money and mis-wrote who was responsible for taking care of any repairs. That along with other things we weren't advised of. When looking for a new manager, I suggested that since the home was in Santa Maria, we should use a Santa Maria property manager. After looking at several on Google, I liked the services that Advantage said they offered. The main reason they got the contract was that they returned our initial call within 90 minutes and second call almost as quickly (You don't get a second chance to make a first impression.). One thing they offer is an early pay list to get us our rent early (since we need it well before the 15th of the month to pay the mortgage). They have lived up to that commitment as well as promptly introducing themselves to the tenant as the new manager and addressing and or bringing to our attention any property issues (and letting us decide if we want to use our house warranty and/or pay with OUR credit card). They also took the initiative to arrange for them to pay our landscaper monthly rather than us write and mail a check.

Not only that, they are not responding to my numerous emails and phone calls. If I ran my business in this fashion, I would quickly be out of business. This company has not returned my deposit to this date, which was supposed to happen 21 days after moving out. And, I now have been informed they are holding back over $1,000 of my rental deposit unjustly. To explain, I rented a property that was in disrepair. I did not realize the extent of the disrepair since I was not allowed to view the property until our move-in date. Searchlight did not take over the management of the house until a month after my move-in date and had no clue of the overall condition of the house and yard either, since apparently the previous property mgt company did not convey that information to them. We lived there for 2 years and moved out a month ago. We left the house in much better shape than it was when we moved in, yet we are being charged for general house cleaning and carpet cleaning as well as items (not ours) being left behind. When I moved in, the previous tenant who moved out the same day as I moved in, left behind junk inside and outside of the house. There were holes in the walls and they desperately needed painting. The family room blinds were broken and looked awful. The sprinkler system in the front and back yard did not work. The only thing that did get fixed was the hole in the wall after I complained numerous times. Oh, and they finally got a gardener out to fix the irrigation system only a few months ago. The previous tenant had 3 German Shepherds who were indoor dogs according to the neighbors. The carpets were dirty with tons of dog hairs. The baseboards even had dog hairs on them. The rest of the house wasn't much better. I need this money. This is an outrage and needs to be rectified immediately. They have 21 days to return the deposit and that time has passed a week ago. Everything is being bungled. Don't use this company!!
