On our first, exploratory, trip (simply to explore our options before an "official" house-hunting trip), Gabrielle invested two full days and shared her immense knowledge of local real estate with us. I can't believe how much time and help she provided at that early stage, when we told her we weren't going to be making a purchase that trip. Then, several weeks later after we had our current home under a sales contract, we called Gabrielle on short notice, said we were flying back to Tucson in two days, asked if it would be possible for her to set up appointments to look at 20 or more homes? She somehow did it, helped us find a home that we are thrilled with, and continued to work hard through negotiations and escrow. She's still working hard as we approach close of escrow, and is helping us line up contractors to do a few things to the new house. This is our sixth home purchase in a little over 3 decades, and Gabrielle is the most impressive and helpful realtor we've ever worked with.

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.

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.

They say it's running at the specs of the manufacturer. This thing is rusted and when they switch from heating in the winter to Summer they don't take a shop vacuum and remove water deposits or the rust so they clog the tubing and they are using hoses that are too small. This has been a nightmare!! Neighbors punching my husband in the face, threatening to burn my building down having guns shot by the same woman. They don't enforce the rules they have in the lease. It says you can only have one car per residents but some of them have cars that haven't moved in years as you can see no tags since 2022 and the spider webs are growing under that car. Had gun pointed at me! I just don't want you to rent here because they never stand behind their work and we pay for upkeep on the grounds and landscaping has only been here a handful of times my husband rakes our side of the driveway and waters the plants. I had to call code enforcement right after we moved in and the cabinets in the kitchen were just rotten. Thankfully code enforcement told them they had to fix this stuff but still can't get the swamp cooler running!!! It's a simple machine that takes very little effort to fix and again still 100° in my house! They want me to move and pack in this heat and then leave it rent ready???!! I don't think so!!!!! DO NOT RENT FROM THIS COMPANY!!!

Since I'm out of town for work, I was worried about how everything would get handled, but Lemonie really stepped up.

I really appreciate having someone I can trust to take care of my properties when I'm not there. Thank you, Lemonie, for everything you do for me and my tenants!

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 am extremely dissatisfied with the level of customer service I have received. Despite being a…read morelocally owned company, the communication experience has been consistently unfriendly and inaccessible. I am looking for rental for my older grandchildren that are moving to Tuscon Area. My primary concerns include: - Lack of Accessibility: No one answers the phone, and neither emails nor calls are returned in a timely manner. Relying almost exclusively on electronic communication is highly frustrating. - Over-Automation: Your email responses feel overly automated, lacking the personal touch expected from a local business. - Poor Handling of Feedback: The responses to reviews--which I believe are handled by Amanda--frequently come across as condescending. Rather than taking accountability, the company offers excuses or justifications for negative experiences. - Taking advantage of younger adults seems to be trending in some of these reviews as well. This needs to be studied and reviewed. It is mind boggling that a locally owned company would be so out of touch with the locals again based on the reviews I have read. While no company is perfect, superior businesses distinguish themselves by taking accountability and working to mitigate and resolve conflicts. It is clear from the volume of negative feedback that the company's approach is the common denominator in these issues. Take responsibility and actively mediating these situations to reach a resolution.
