Short Story:
David…read moreGazarov's property management services is like a parasite that'll bleed you dry. He offers different programs that are supposed to cover the property management obligations but then bills every action separately with numbers he pulled out of his @$$. The entire time I paid for his services, I never saw the full monthly rental income because he would deduct more than half of it with made-up fees before charging me to send me what was left over.
Long Story:
I hired David as my property manager at his $49 monthly plan. What he did not explain is that the management fee only covers collection. Any other item is chargeable at whatever fee he deems fair. He charges to open emails/texts, to respond to messages, to communicate messages to the tenants, to speak with the HOA, to forward mail, to file any reports, to process the Financials, to send the rental income over, and the list goes on. I had his service for 4 months, which should've been $12,760 gross rental income. However, I only received $4,865.26. That means he charged $7,894.74 in random fees that should be part of his duties as a property manager.
On top of all the fees, he penalizes you for wanting to terminate early. For instance, you can't get out of your contract without paying off the remainder of the contract plus more fees. David requested that I pay $897.80 just to get out of my contract. I told him I was only willing to pay the remaining contract amount for the year $392. He agreed to those terms only to go back on them, claiming I still owed him more money. He then took it out of my reserve funds return and said, "Not worry about the rest." As if he was doing me a favor for not charging me on services I never approved of.
All in all, I would avoid David's property management services like the plague because he will bleed you dry and feel entitled for more.
