We recently filled out an application for a rental property in Tucson. They require that all…read morepeople, over the age of 18, fill out the application. So that meant our son, who is a freshmen in college (just graduated from high school last year) had to fill out an application as well. He is living with us to save money and only have to pay tuition. My husband and I both have credit scores in the 800s. Our son, who really doesn't have any credit yet due to his age and recently graduating high school, does not have any credit right now; therefore, his score is low. They denied our rental request due to our son's credit score. FYI, we spent $55 per applicant ($165 total) as well as $60 for both of our pets' "application." Also, our realtor reached out as well, since we recently sold our house, to help us with this situation. This company refuses to call our realtor back and he has called three times. This is extremely unprofessional. I do not agree with this policy, especially since there is no way to fill out another form to explain the situation. However, even if I did understand the policy, they should be more up front with the information. When we emailed the representative about our 19 year old son still living with us, she could have easily told us that there was a high chance we wouldn't get approved due to our young adult son not having a credit score. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY!! They will take your application fee(s) and not have any cares about extenuating circumstances or any customer service decency.

I'm extremely disappointed with the way this entire rental experience was handled. I've rented from…read moremultiple companies over the years, and this has by far been the most unprofessional and frustrating process I've ever dealt with. First of all- your office is for appoint only. In which you refuse to meet your tenants and I'm assuming it's due to the shady practices you guys are known for. I've been to your actual "unmarked" office- about 8 offices down from where it's says you guys are on google- where you all hide and brag about how "property owner" comes first but the tenant doesn't matter. The tenant is the one paying your bills- may want to rethink and restructure. From day one, communication was inconsistent, and when issues arose, it always felt like the responsibility was pushed back onto the tenant, even when we followed every step required of us. The sliding glass door situation is a perfect example -- we reported it, waited for a response, were ignored, and then somehow became responsible for a drastically inflated repair bill from the same vendor who quoted us $700 directly. Being charged $2,100 for the exact same repair is unacceptable and absolutely feels like taking advantage of tenants. Regarding my security deposit of $2,992: The home was brand new when we moved in, and we took excellent care of it. The house was still in great condition when we left -- cleaned, maintained, and without any damage beyond normal wear. The charges you've submitted do not reflect the actual condition of the home, and I do not accept the validity of the invoices you provided. I know for a fact the move-out repairs did not cost anywhere close to the deposit amount. This entire experience -- the communication, the handling of maintenance issues, the inflated charges, and the lack of accountability -- has left an extremely negative impression. I will not be recommending your company to anyone, and I will be advising friends, family, coworkers, and anyone seeking housing to avoid renting from you

I was re/searching property management companies for my first-ever rental property. I wanted…read moresomething local but also an agency that had longevity and, of course, good reputation/reviews. I recognized early that given the sheer impossibility of satisfying all tenants, or owners, no property mgmt company is going to have higher than a 4-star average. And then I came across R.A. with a solid 4+ star average. As I read through dozens and dozens of reviews (here and other platforms), there were a couple of managers themselves who stood out. One was Laina (who turns out to be a supervisor) and the other was Irene. My first inquiries (whether to retain them, what I need to know to be a good LL, and what to watch out for) were directed to Laina as I was preliminarily curious about their management style, prerequisites, and costs. I was especially concerned about the tenant vetting and application process. Laina was extraordinary - always easy to reach and never rushed me in my relentlessly probing questions. I was impressed by the guarantees and the no-commitment promise that RA stands by as well (that's confidence!). Once I had finally settled on RA to manage the house I had purchased I was fortunate to be assigned to Irene. She is meticulous, punctual, responsive, demanding, patient, persistent, and somehow still manages to accomplish all that with good nature. I wouldn't want anyone possessing less than every one of those standards to be responsible for supervising my home. She is also accessible by direct texting and email and has always responded within hours if not minutes. When I thought my house was ready to be listed Irene stopped by to lend her critical eye. I kid you not, she found 15-18 things that needed fixing, cleaning, removing, painting, or installing. And fair warning, many of those issues are deal-breakers for RA (refusing to publish my rental until they were fixed). However, their high operational standards translate into presentability. It took me, plus a hired handyman, almost 2 weeks working every evening and wknd to get the entire list finished... and it made a world of difference. It's remarkable what "you can live with" vs what is appropriately marketable. R.A. was running a summer retainer special of $599 that included all of the above and also professional photos for the listing - on par with the industry. The $99 flat fee/month for management was another selling point. There are a couple of companies that will manage for slightly less (e.g., $75/mo) and a couple that charge a flat 10% per month no matter how high the rental price is (which is ab$urd). RA's costs include two random inspections/year, the dreaded eviction scenario, and it places them between you and the tenant as the primary contact for all things - from complaints, to rent, to repairs. Once you've hired RA, you'll get a monthly newsletter and occasional articles about being a "landlord" and about market conditions in your metro area. They are loaded with helpful tidbits and illuminating graphics. Note: rent is typically due from the tenants on the first of the month but the transfer to your bank account will occur on the 10th or 11th of the month so digure how to float your mrtg payments accordingly. There is a bricks/mortar location just north of Campbell/Ft. Lowell and that was also important to me - to lend legitimacy to the company. It is modest, with basically a front desk and small office but it's staffed by a receptionist M-F from whom you can get sample documents and preliminary questions answered too. At the end of the day, property management is 30% fees/costs and 70% skilled diplomacy -- between owner/Mgmt and between tenant/Mgmt. You need to have those relationships working smoothly, precisely because of the inherent friction points that they so easily generate. In Laina and Irene RA's mgmt team does a tremendous job navigating each.

This company honestly should not be in business. In my experience, they are extremely…read moreunprofessional and difficult to deal with. Once you move in, it becomes almost impossible to get in contact with management. When our AC went out during the summer, our apartment reached 101 degrees and stayed that way for a week. We were not offered a hotel or any temporary solution. We ended up paying out of pocket to fix the AC ourselves, and nothing was deducted from our rent to compensate us. When it came time to move out, communication became even worse. They ignored calls and messages, making the process unnecessarily difficult and seemingly trying to force us to continue paying rent for additional months. Safety is also a major concern. There are frequent break-ins, especially in the laundry room. Strangers regularly attempt to enter the property. I've witnessed ongoing fights, drug activity, and needles and other dangerous items left on the ground where children play. Children are often left unsupervised at the pool. This is not a safe or family-friendly environment. Management is dismissive when concerns are raised. I personally saw a neighbor assaulted by another resident, and nothing meaningful was done. Instead, it felt like management targeted and pressured residents who spoke up. The facilities are poorly maintained, safety is ignored, and the only thing that seems to matter is collecting rent. I would strongly advise anyone considering renting here to look elsewhere.

I would like to be fair on this review. To start they either have no idea of the Tucson market or…read morethey flat out lie to get your business. Before I signed, I was told they would be able to rent it for X amount, granted I did think it was a little high of an estimate, but after three months they wanted me to lower the price by a whole 1/3 of what they promised me they would be able to rent it for with their "analysis". I will say they are friendly and responsive. However, they did ask me to do some repairs and improvements to help get it rented and I agreed but for their recommendation I was charge $150 to hang 5 paintings. I am an engineer and I do not even make that much, even giving them the benefit of the doubt for an hour of work at most I was shocked. Another fix they suggested I agreed to and made payment but three months later it was never even touched. Also I had the house professionally cleaned before handing it over but they kicked it back to there cleaners and charge me for a full price for a cleaning (not to mention they tried to charge me for an extra cleaning before I called them out and got a refund). They have a pretty hefty up-front fee of ~$700 that they said would go to photos and marketing, but I question if they spent even half of it on what they said. Finally, I asked them multiple times to list the property on AirBNB which they told me at signing they would, but they never listed it even after multiple request. In the end of everything they took ~%50 of the booking after all they are fees and services.

We received a recommendation to use Nicole when I asked my good friend in Tucson who she would use…read morefor real estate. Our friend said hands down Nicole Brule-Fisher When we first started looking we were thinking second house. We exchanged emails with Nicole and made arrangements to drive and look at houses. Nicole spent all weekend with us showing homes, connecting with other agents to give us more options. There was one house that was amazing that she was able to show us before it even went on the MLS but it didn't have a place for a pool. (sad face) Nicole showed us a bunch of houses but nothing we were ready to pull the trigger on (this is the beginning of October). So we went home and Nicole started emailing us listings. There was one house that we wanted to see but we couldn't get away. Nicole went out and face timed us for a walk-through. Since we were relocating there wasn't urgency on our end. We were looking for a turnkey house that hit all our must haves. Anyway, my husband was on a quick trip to Tucson and I was in California when I went on Zillow and saw this sweet fixer upper in a great area. My husband called Nicole to see the property. I guess she was unavailable because she told him Nick would meet him at the property. Nick was great - he's unpretentious, friendly and knowledgable. We wrote an offer on the fixer and with their recommendation added an escalation clause. Our offer wasn't selected but became the backup offer. Anyway, all the stars aligned when the first party backed out and we got news that the sellers wanted to accept our offer. woot woot! The fixer didn't have everything we wanted but the location was so amazing and the price low enough that we decided to take on the project to get exactly what we wanted. I honestly didn't think we were in that headspace when we started looking. I really liked working with Nicole and was a bit bummed that we got kicked to Nick. Life happens though - it was during covid so who knows why this happened. On the up side...We also really liked working with Nick. They both were great and have gone the extra mile for us - before, during and after the purchase. Before we closed, two turn-key properties came up on Zillowthat we absolutely loved. We made a trip out to Tucson just to be sure we were making the right decision with our "fixer" - We passed on them, but those houses were very tempting. Nick recommended contractors and inspectors so we could get things inspected during our 10 day inspection period. He really made this part of the transaction go smoothly. My husband and Nick did the final walk through. Nick was with us every step of the way. After the sale we got a notice from the city that we had a water leak. One of our neighbors saw the notice and called the listing agent who in turn called Nick. Nick called us and was kind enough to go to the property to turn the water off for us. The only area that I felt didn't go as smoothly as I would have hoped is with the lenders they recommended. There was some miscommunication that was really inconvenient especially around the holidays. I would highly recommend Nicole and Nick if you are looking to buy a property in Tucson. They are both professional, unpretentious, and know the area extremely well. It was a pleasure to work with them and we appreciate all their time and care.
