HANDS DOWN - PEACE OF MIND - 100% SUPERIOR AND PROFESSIONAL!!!!…read more Peace of Mind Property Management (POM) gets my 5 Star rating two times over!!!! If you are a landlord looking for true "Peace of Mind" Melissa and her team are the way to go!!!! A little about me I am an 22 year Active Duty Service member Navy who was super skeptical of renting my property and was gonna sell 5 years ago. In talking with a colleague he convinced me that owning a rental is a smart idea and can really generate some passive income. He referred me to Melissa at POM who simply bridged the gap and eased my stresses of becoming a landlord. Today, because of Melissa and her team I am a success, I was able to deploy overseas on two separate tours and leave my home in the palms of her teams "Golden Hands" The day I moved out I turned over keys to a 4 year renter and had "Zero" issues. In Nov 2021, I got the sad news my 4 year renters were moving out end of December. In one months time, Melissa and her team, turned my property over and had new renters placed to move in the beginning of Feb. "Simply amazing". In closing, all I can say is that Melissa is nothing but professional and truly cares. My responses her entire team are within minutes. Additionally, I want to give a huge shoutout to her inspection enforcer :) Nikki Marlatt" and the rental listing agent, Chris Meldrom from "Cornerhouse Realty". They truly came through with getting this all together and once again, have left me with nothing but "PEACE OF MIND!!!! Nicholas K. SCPO, U.S. Navy, Active

May have been a competent company at one point, but certainly no longer. In the 18 months we…read moreworked with Ed, his company mismanaged the lead inspection process (costing us thousands), mistakenly charged us for maintenance and repair that was the tenant's responsibility, failed to coordinate with our HVAC company on maintenance and payment, failed to remit monthly payment for the correct amount due, and failed to coordinate and communicate with me regarding the renewal process for the tenants. I would avoid.

I've been using Edward as a property manager since July 2020 (i've used 4 different firms over the…read morepast 15 years). I found him after interviewing about 9 firms, and then went with him after speaking with 5 of his references that he provided. He was very transparent when I first connected him and he would quickly answer questions about his management style, company and staffing profile. Perhaps the worst part about Edward is that its hard to find anything negative about him (LOL). He's just the most even keeled person I've ever dealt with... He deals with everything in a calm, paced manner. He's definitely not pushy, and treats everyone with respect, and has the gray matter to anticipate and work through problems before embers turn into flames (and we've had many embers thrown at us over the years, so he's battle tested at this stage in my eyes). One example: a few years back, the unit he was managing for us had a heating issue. The parts were on back order (early pandemic related shortage), and without asking, he went through multiple hoops to try to procure the parts needed, and then checked the weather report and because of an upcoming temperature drop he went ahead and provided backup heating device to the tenant to head-off a potential heating emergency before it happens. Lets roll the clock forward: While your mileage may vary, for me, I have had several documented occasions when I sent him an email near midnight and he responds within 3 or 4 minutes afterwards. I think one time I sent him an email way later than that which was meant for the next day, and he immediately responded. IIRC, I scolded him slightly for not prioritizing sleep over a low priority email from me LOL... but that's just how he's wired. His demeanor also extends to how he hires his staff. Again, the people he's brought on seem very even keeled and are active listeners. Also, it appears he's scaling his company in a methodical fashion. When I first spoke to him 5 years ago, I think he had about 200 properties they were managing. I know he's grown beyond this, but I haven't felt any difference in the orchestration of the work. This was a huge problem for me with a previous firm where as they grew, the wheels came off. Also, with his being a registered agent in Maryland, I'm already set on using him if we hit the market for anything. He's also served as an honest sounding board a few times we considered moving on something.

Our HOA consists of approximately 55 homes, and having a responsive and knowledgeable management…read morecompany is extremely important to us. We have been very pleased with the service we receive, particularly from our account manager, Christopher Ziesat. Christopher is always responsive to our questions and requests and consistently goes above and beyond to be helpful. He has been especially valuable in assisting us with the preparation of our annual budget and helping us keep track of the many state and county tax, registration, and compliance requirements that an HOA needs to address. What we appreciate most is that Christopher is accessible, dependable, and willing to take the time to explain issues and help us find solutions. His attention to detail and follow-through give our Board confidence that important administrative matters are being handled properly. For a smaller HOA like ours, having a management company and account manager who are this responsive and knowledgeable makes a significant difference. We highly recommend the management company and, in particular, Christopher Ziesat for the excellent service and support he provides to our community.

The first itemized list of deductions I received was May 7, 52 days later. Their refund check, sent by regular mail, never reached me and was cashed with a forged signature. I sent a demand letter, then filed in Arlington General District Court. The owner paid the balance after I filed. Rent payments were a constant problem. Paying online costs extra. The free option is a mailed check, and they process those slowly. In 2025 a check they said they never received was cancelled and replaced with an online payment. They then deposited the cancelled check anyway, and I for charged returned check fees and a late fee. This winter I mailed January rent on December 19. On January 5 it still had not been cashed, and I was told late fees are not waived for mail delays. Small repairs, like a shelf that fell out of the closet wall and a toilet wax seal, went out for quotes instead of just getting fixed. When the owner refused to put the window screens back, Bay would not push the issue. For a condo building, staff knew surprisingly little about it. They could not answer basic parking questions. Six months in, I learned from a Facebook group that there were stairwell keys I was never issued. If you rent through them, keep everything in writing and ask for tracked mail on any refund.

If you are a landlord seeking property management, DO NOT work with HomeWorks Property Management…read more Initially, I worked with Lizza; she was very responsive, and things were fine. It took them six months to find tenants for my property. I'm unsure what systems they use to do background checks, but it isn't good. The tenants only paid their first month's rent, and after that, they were late and never paid the full amount. Then stopped paying altogether. My biggest issue with HomeWorks is their lack of professionalism. It seems like they use a third-party receptionist, so you have to schedule a call with your actual property manager. The property managers constantly miss the scheduled calls, and getting information that should only take a few minutes can take days. To date, I have had eight missed meetings with Christine and Zaphyr. To make matters worse, the portal is never up to date, so you have to call to know what is going on with your property. It has been a complete nightmare working with this company. Save yourself the headache and find a different property manager.
