After speaking with a number of property management companies, I decided to go with Karen at Summit…read moreRental Management. She seemed dialed in on Salem's property scene and was initially responsive enough to entrust her with my business. She had high ratings on Yelp and other platforms, so it seemed like a sure thing. I learned quite a bit in my year of working with her: * She's got a lot of ties with the Salem Housing Authority and various organizations in the local area. She has a good amount of experience with various forms and the process it takes to expedite them. * At 10% commission, her fee seemed quite standard for the area. * This is a family run business, consisting of Karen and her daughters. I believe she does most of the face-to-face work and makes herself available to tenants and prospective clients. * She takes Fridays off and most of the weekends. * She is not the most responsive with email. Most of our replies have been between 4 days to a week. * When in doubt, call. She is the most responsive in the mornings and is the least responsive in the afternoons and evenings. * She does not have an online system / portal for folks to check up on their properties. Instead, a monthly report via Quickbooks is scanned and sent as a PDF. The scans are likely done manually, given the non-stop alignment issues. * We had communication issues and accounting issues. They were resolved, but not without a lot follow up. At the end of the day, I think Karen is a super nice person but seems to be at a pace where it may be tough for folks who need an immediate answer. It would be recommended to be on the ground in Salem and to relay any thoughts in person.

In 2017, we hired Crown Management to lease out and manage our house in Salem while we were living…read moreout of state. We decided to go with Kent Mack and Crown after interviewing several companies. In less than a month, Kent had found a tenant who leased the house at our full asking price until the fall of 2019. Kent or his assistant Karen were always available for our questions or when issues with the house arose. They understand that quick response is always a concern for a tenant or a landlord and we think they did a very good job repairing the odd water leak or replacing appliances as needed. As the end of the lease came in sight, some difficult issues arose which had us perplexed. Fortunately, we could rely on Kent's expert advice. Without his input, which was invaluable and freely given, we could not have navigated the end of lease successfully. When it came time for us to move back in, the cleanup job was excellent. We had a years-long, continued positive experience with Crown and we definitely recommend them for property management.

This company uses predatory harassment tactics to push out rent controlled tenants in attempts to…read moreraise profits resulting in higher profile property owners new and continued business relationships. They will obtain "cause" for eviction evidence in a malicious and sneaky manners and present it completely out of context, exponentially increase the frequency of notices based upon the tenants compliance and use carefully selected non descriptive wording to insinuate discrimination. They will also react in extremely drastic and childish manners when the wording in the lease agreement dose not allow them to bully the tenants and retaliate to petty things like the agreement not specifying the amount of water a tenant can use by abruptly showing up to the property (WITHOUT NOTICE MIND YOU) shutting the water off to the entire complex (WITHOUT NOTICE) and removing all the water faucets from the exterior with a finished result that would not even meet there standards if it fell under the tenant's responsibility for up-keep. They will do absolutely nothing about homeless encampments or drug activity outside your residence where your children play, make no effort to do small upkeep things like moss and mildew removal from the driveways, will wait till things like balcony's and porches are so degraded they are at risk of being sited by the city and make every excuse under the sun to address aging and dilapidated construction that cause inflated utility costs to the tenant. It came down to a electrician having to tell them the utility panel in my unit was a extreme fire hazard and dangerous for my family to be in the unit to get them to pay to fix it .My dryer vent was so clogged only months after we moved in that they had to cut open the wall to fix it and have still yet to do the finish work on the drywall 3 years later. But yet they will force maintenance repairs that have nothing to do with sustaining the property like blinds and minor drywall repair and then force the tenant to pay for the repairs and provide absolutely no line item accounting for thus said repairs. The employees in charge of managing the units are given this responsibility and power with little if any experience in the field and will conduct themselves in very inappropriate, childish and unprofessional manners such as approaching you randomly and without cause, accuse you of things way out of their station and responsibility as property managers, flat out tell you that the way you live is trashy and not up to there or the owners standards and even when you have a logical and rational explanation that prevents them from filing false and or exaggerated eviction notices, they will take drastic and retaliatory actions like complaining to the city when all you were trying to do was provide your children a cooling station during a heat wave and still follow their rules regarding pools. It is obvious the only thing that matters to this company is the profit and they have no problem causing emotional trauma to families and even young children to further that profit and in a age where the rental market is this volatile and more and more families are becoming homeless, it is obvious they have absolutely no care or concern for the community the conduct businesses in and will push the line of what is legal any way they can to achieve their gold and still seem legit on paper. And to the person at Premium that is going to try and respond to this with your carefully selected legal verbiage that paints you as something you are not.

I recently wanted to move and didnt even think twice of applying for another management company or private owner because ive heard horror stories like the ones described in some of these comments but ive NEVER experienced that with Bertolucci management and for that I am grateful. Even now in my new apartment their has been a more difficult situation that I wont go into and up to this point I have had no problem being able to speak to someone about my concerns.

Their management fee very reasonable and beats others. Normally you get what you pay for. Well, I had Coldwell at 11% management fee and this company had far superior customer service at a much lower percentage. I had to wait 3-4 days (if ever) to get any kind of response from my previous RM company. I work with Renee from Willamette Meadows and she always gets back to me in 24 hours--more often than not, she actually responds within the hour! We have had them do backflow testing as required by Salem and they took care of everything. We had them do a repair and they were on it. They check on the property to ensure its being kept up (as opposed to my previous management company that didn't do that and the lawn had to be replaced front and back). Bottom line: If you are looking for an inexpensive rental management company that cares about both its tenants and owners and responds quickly, look no further. It's great that I will never need to change rental management companies again because of their great service!

I can't imagine what it would have been like to actually live under them.

am writing this review as a serious warning to prospective tenants…read more In my experience, this property management company failed to provide a safe or lawful living environment and ignored repeated tenant concerns. During my tenancy, I was nearly assaulted by a neighbor who threatened me with a baseball bat. I reported this incident, yet management took no meaningful action to address the danger or protect residents. Tenants were allowed to harass and behave dangerously without consequence. I also experienced extremely unsafe and unprofessional maintenance practices. A maintenance technician improperly worked on my water heater, causing a dangerous emergency inside my unit. In addition, interactions with maintenance staff were inappropriate and made me feel unsafe during work orders. Communication was also a major issue, as maintenance staff were unable to effectively communicate in English while inside my home, making it difficult to explain problems or ensure repairs were done correctly. Beyond safety concerns, I encountered severe billing and record‑keeping issues. After living in the apartment for only about one month--with rent paid through housing assistance--I was later told I allegedly owed over $5,000, which did not align with my tenancy or payment history. After moving out, inaccurate information about my tenancy was reported to screening companies, which damaged my rental record and resulted in housing application denials. I am now forced to dispute this information formally. Based on my experience, this company disregards tenant rights, fails to address serious safety issues, and creates lasting harm to tenants even after move‑out. Anyone considering renting here should document everything carefully and be prepared to seek legal help. Families with children or anyone concerned about safety and lawful treatment should strongly consider living elsewhere.
