Julie was our first introduction to Jamico, and gave us the tour of the apartment we ended up going with! She was awesome, always reliable, patient, and responsive (we were especially worried because we had never rented before and were a little nervous about all the paperwork lol). We've heard lots of horror stories about management companies, but I'd say Jamico is far from a horror story waiting to happen LOL - quite the opposite! We lived in a pretty old building (over 100+ years old, so beautiful and unique), so there were bound to be times where we needed to schedule maintenance. Anytime we submit a request, it was responded to in a timely manner (never more than 24 hrs without a response tbh), and the maintenance crew was super awesome, quick, and friendly!! Our move-out inspection with Todd was easy to schedule (they were SUPER flexible with time which we greatly appreciated because we didn't have much time to meet...), and it went by super quick. One thing we also really appreciated was that he asked us how our year was at the property, and was genuinely curious about our feedback and opinion. Overall, great management company from the tour to move-in to move-out. Never once did we feel cheated or disappointed with service or process. Thank you guys!!!!

We have worked with her diligently in renting a few different properties from her over the last few years. She has always been so kind and helpful to whatever it is that we needed. She takes her time in making sure we find the perfect rental space and I couldn't be more happier with our decision to work with her for years in choosing homes to live in. I will forever rent from first light property management as long as we live in California and before we buy our first home because of the personal experience Bethany has thoughtfully created for us. Thank you again Bethany for just always being the best and caring so much about my family and I living needs.

I have made her aware that I contracted an infectious disease from vermin that hospitalized me for 13 days and almost killed me due to the rats and no response to my recent complaints. This company sucks! Rhoda seems to be oblivious to putting my family's life and safety at risk because she can't seem to return phone calls, respond to emails, or do the responsible thing and resolve the source of the entry point of the infestation. I asked her to send an inspector who could locate the entry points for the rats and mice and she denied that and instead sent a handyman who just set more traps. If anyone in my family gets sick, there will be a major lawsuit. Rhoda is incompetent and hasn't done anything to deal with the rodent infestation in my house. I have had to resort to calling LA Department of Health and Manhattan Beach Police Department just to get some response. Every time I call, I hear she is out, "showing properties." So she has been showing properties since I called her 7 days ago? In the meantime I have rats and mice running through my house and ruining my furniture? Shame on you Rhoda!

Allstate HOA Management has truly been a game-changer for our community. Instead of chasing down…read moreanswers or wondering when things will get done, everything is handled efficiently and communicated clearly. Calls and emails are returned promptly, projects move forward smoothly, and the board always knows where things stand. A great example of their leadership was our elevator modernization project. Allstate guided every step -- from vendor coordination to budget oversight -- ensuring the project stayed on schedule and within budget. The end result improved reliability, safety, and property value for everyone in the community. What sets them apart is how proactive and detail‑oriented they are when managing vendors, timelines, budgets, and follow-through. They don't wait for issues to arise; they plan ahead to prevent them. As a homeowner, it's reassuring to know there's a management team that's responsive, organized, and genuinely invested in our community's success. Allstate HOA Management has made HOA living far less stressful and far more efficient -- a partner we truly value.

Questions get real answers instead of being bounced around, and problems are followed through on until they're actually fixed, not just acknowledged.

I also really appreciate how they explain things in plain language so homeowners understand what's going on and why certain decisions are being made. Overall, Allstate HOA Management has brought a level of professionalism and reliability that we were missing before. I'd definitely recommend them to any HOA looking for a management company that genuinely cares and consistently shows up for the community.

I am writing this review regarding my experience with Real Property Management El Segundo,…read morespecifically agent Lola and manager Oscar. I want to be clear that I am a tenant/applicant with a documented disability under both federal and California law. I have Stage IV metastatic breast cancer and am currently undergoing ongoing treatment. Despite this, I continue to work, maintain income, and support my family. My concern is that during the application and screening process, I did not feel that my situation was handled with appropriate respect for privacy or in compliance with fair housing protections under the Fair Housing Act (FHA) and California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA). These laws require housing providers to avoid discrimination based on disability and to engage in a fair, individualized review when disability-related financial circumstances are involved. Instead, I felt that my application was evaluated primarily through credit history without meaningful consideration of the medical context behind that history. My past financial hardship was directly caused by extended disability leave and cancer treatment--not irresponsibility. I also felt that my privacy was not fully respected when it came to requests for financial documentation beyond what is reasonably necessary for income verification. I offered to provide direct proof of income through deposit records, which is standard and sufficient for verifying ability to pay rent. However, I was uncomfortable with requests that appeared to go beyond income verification into personal financial activity, which I do not believe is relevant to tenancy qualification. I am not asking for special treatment. I am asking for fair treatment, privacy, and compliance with disability and housing laws that are designed to ensure equal access to housing opportunities. Housing decisions should consider the full picture of an applicant, including stable current income, rental history, and the context of any credit issues when they are directly related to a documented disability. I hope this feedback is taken seriously so that future applicants with disabilities are treated with greater care, respect, and adherence to fair housing standards.

OakTree has been our property management company since May 1st, and after reading Eric J's review,…read moreI see many similarities in how they have treated me and our HOA. Despite the owner claiming his team manages each community according to governing documents and applicable law, I have unfortunately seen nothing close to that. I have tried in so many ways, for so many months, to have them follow our governing documents and the law, be transparent, but I have finally given up and have resorted to reviews, certified letters, and possibly small claims court to get what is due to me under the law that the owner talks about. I can't understand why request for transparency has to resort to this. Our documents require monthly meetings, it took over four months to hold one. And sadly our board hadn't had a meeting for over 18 months, you would think the first priority would be to bring our HOA into compliance, but that was not the case. Requests for meeting minutes and 18 months of financials remain mostly unanswered. It took almost 5 months to just get the balance sheet and income statement for the months that OakTree managed us. Asking for certain invoices, check activity reports repeatedly, well that law certainly isn't followed. Hundreds of thousands of dollars in invoices were paid without approval, with no decisions made in meetings and without any members having knowledge of it. And when you ask them to provide the info, silence. They allow boards to take action with no meetings and no permits, and when you are forced to contact the city to make sure that the work is done to code, the manager writes some derogatory comment instead of apologizing they didn't follow the law. The same law that everyone, not just real estate agents, brokers, and CCAM accredited managers have to abide by. Simple operational tasks, like elevator repairs, drag on for weeks, especially when they know a tenant is waiting to move in. So instead of fixing the elevator, which is a 4 hour job, 2 weeks pass by. And when you ask them for an update, their response: "I understand the frustration with not having the freight elevator operational. Especially with a move in, so my apologies to your tenants." But does she give an update? No! And intercom programming has been ongoing for four months, with false information being used to deflect from actually providing "management". When I've asked why reserve contributions haven't been made per the budget, silence of course, and not making reserve contributions, outlined in a budget, is a huge red flag. And when I ask how they plan to unsuspend our FTB status and file taxes without providing financial documents, or claiming they don't have anything, I get silence again. They misquote laws, and when asked to clarify, no response. This disregard for the law and fiduciary duty exposes both the HOA and OakTree to serious liability. Instead of solutions to our many problems and issues, I've faced runaround and even hostility, and sometimes what feels like plain old retaliation just for asking for the law to be followed. A management company should support homeowners, not stonewall them. Transparency should be welcomed and not retaliated against. Unless you want to pay for mismanagement and increased liability, in my opinion, this is not the management company for your community. I can only hope they take notice and actually do what they say, manage by following governing documents and applicable law.

I've spent 6 months trying to resolve a parking issue at one of JRealty's properties, and the…read moreexperience has been incredibly frustrating. Management admitted in writing that another tenant was given a second parking space in error on their lease. They also admitted they recommended removing that space because it was causing problems. The vehicle associated with this improperly assigned parking space occupies an area that is not identified as a parking spot on the parking map that was provided to me by management. Instead of being parked in a designated space, the vehicle extends into the common driving and maneuvering area tenants must use to access their assigned parking spaces causing daily risk damage to my vehicle. Whats even more revealing about this company is how the issue was handled! I repeatedly raised concerns that the parking arrangement could present code, safety, or fire access issues. Rather than addressing the problem directly, I was told management was waiting on city inspection results and that those results could affect the outcome. Months later, I was informed that the inspection they had me waiting for was actually a habitability inspection and that the specific parking location I had been complaining about was not one of the spaces that was evaluated. Think about that! I was led to believe the inspection would address my complaint, only to later find out that the disputed parking space had never been reviewed at all. I spent months waiting for inspection results that never actually addressed the parking issue at the center of the dispute. Even after admitting the parking space was assigned in error, admitting the situation was problematic, and acknowledging that the disputed space wasn't evaluated during the inspection, management still has not provided a meaningful solution. I have attached screenshots of the emails so people can read the correspondence and draw their own conclusions. Based on my experience, get everything in writing. Keep every email, save every photograph, and document every interaction. The only reason I was able to uncover the inconsistencies in management's explanations was because I maintained a complete paper trail. Without it, this would have been reduced to my word against theirs.
