As a home owner using Altos as a property management company, I very highly recommend them. I had 4 properties with a different management company (Belong). When going through budgeting I found that Belong was ripping us off, and taking advantage of us by overcharging for services and fees (long story, just stay away from Belong). I found Altos through our insurance broker and was connected with Justin. Justin made it extremely easy for us to move off Belong and in with Altos. Their management fee is very competitive, over one percent less than what Belong was taking. So far every interaction with Justin has been positive and I feel he is actually caring for my tenants so they no longer feel pressured to leave (like they were with Belong). All the service requests that have been made by tenants are taken care of quickly, and I don't feel that I have to oversee them anymore. Their contractors are top notch too. They are giving me reasonable quotes for work and I no longer have to worry that I'm going to be charged $400+ just to change a lightbulb. I cannot recommend Altos more. read more

Best property management I've ever worked with. Justin was very responsive and always willing to help me address my concerns, even if he was sick or caring for his family. He always tried his best and I had a great experience with Altos despite some issues with the property owner himself. read more

This review is for Justin and his team at Altos Realty. Highly recommend them as they are honest, great communication and overall a great experience! From the application process up until the move out, Justin made sure to follow up with me through it all. Much appreciated Justin! Can't wait to rent again with you guys in the future! read more

Transparent, Reliable and Responsive! Altos Guys are a bunch of awesome folks you can rely on. Like their hassle free process and adequate support. Special shoutout to Justin. Highly recommend read more

This is an update to a review that I left quite some time ago and we are still dealing with the horrible repercussions of what this property management company did to us. This review particularly pertains to Justin Acolla, a property manager at Altos realty advisors in Sunnyvale California. After assuring us that are belongings we're going to be packed up and placed outside in our backyard Justin Acolla and two other individuals, one by the name of Tony Vallaqua, I do not know the other person's name, proceeded to instruct us to leave our home while they packed up our belongings and placed them outside in our backyard reassuring us that everything would be okay. They instructed us to leave our home for 3 days after which we arrived back at our home and all of our belongings had been removed from our home the contents of our garage heirlooms Family treasures personal paperwork furniture the contents of our entire bedroom our sons entire bedroom and everything that was in our living room had been taken away never to be seen again. We placed many calls to Altos realty advisors many calls to Justin Acolla himself and not once did we receive a call back from this company not once did we receive a call back from Justin akala we even went to the Sunnyvale Police department and made a police report with an extensive list of everything that had been stolen from us by them and the police made one phone call to Justin Acolla who told the police that that was a lawful move out and the police officer told us that there was no crime committed and that they weren't going to pursue this as a case and the matter was dropped and we were told to go away we were homeless without our belongings and we couldn't even make a police report. Please keep in mind that this house that this property manager was evicting us from was the family home that I grew up in that I lived in for 65 years that was in my mother's name who had recently become incapacitated and suddenly Justin Acolla showed up on the scene saying that my mother had appointed him to evict me from the house I had lived my entire life in. Nothing has been done about this except just this year I was asked to sign something saying that the eviction was going to be reversed from an attorney that was evicting me with Justin Acolla, his name is Todd rothbard and the eviction is still on my record. I personally do not see how it is possible that a property manager who was never the property manager on my house that I was living in that belong to my mother who had been recently incapacitated how she could sign Justin Acolla on to evicting me which is something she would never do and him actually get away with this. My wife and I were treated like second class citizens by this company Altos realty advisors in Sunnyvale who didn't have the common courtesy to even return our phone calls and talk to us about all of our belongings being stolen by one of the property managers and two individuals that helped him and to not have the police even take a report from us is sickening. Justin Acolla is supposedly a property manager who is supposed to help find housing for the homeless when in fact he was praying on us made us homeless and stole all of our life-long belongings. There's a racket going on in Santa Clara county and it involves companies like Altos realty advisors they also have another office in Denver Colorado and I believe that they are all working together. What happened was an absolute shame and tragedy and the fact that we can't even go to our local police department and make a report is unbelievable. How in the world could my incapacitated mother appoint Justin as property manager of her home he's never been property manager for her home and have me evicted I just don't understand that if my mother was incapacitated how could he have done this she wouldn't be able to put him in charge of anything. And nobody in the judicial system will listen to us nobody! Since when is it police officers choice to take a report or not take a report that's unbelievable! I wouldn't use Altos realty advisors ever, in fact I never did, how these people were able to come in and steal all of our belongings from the family home and not have anything done about it is just ridiculous! The people that work for altos realty advisors are liars thieves and opportunists just waiting to take advantage of good people who never did anything to them all behind the anticipation of gain of money. This company makes me sick to my stomach when I think about the damage they have caused my family. And the laws that they broke and that are they are getting away with makes me even more sick to my stomach because it says there is no protection out there for anyone and you could lose everything that you ever had in a moment's notice if you are dealing with this type of company. read more

Rented with Justin for couple of years. He is great to work with, very fast and clear in communication. All the maintenance requests were addressed in less than an hour. We had to break the lease early due to personal reasons, and Justin found us a replacement tenant very soon, so we dint have to keep paying for long. Overall highly recommend working with Altos. read more

I've been working with Altos reality for more than a decade. If there are any issues with my unit they are they are very quick with their handyman. Altos Realty is a respectful responsible company. Thank you so much for all of you've done over the years. read more

Truly an incredible rental management company. They have always been very helpful and kind. All the people I have spoken to at this management have been able to help me with any situation I have truly appreciate it. I would 100% recommend them. read more

I lived in one of the properties they manage, I don't recommend renting any properties with them they take long to reply and don't fix anything I would suggest you read the contract carefully before you rent any properties with them!!! read more

We rented a a Townhouse from Altos Realty Advisors from 11/2018 to 03/2021 and we loved it! The only reason we left was that we wanted a bigger house. Our property manager, Chris Effler was great, super responsive and professional. Would definitely recommend to anyone! All the best to team Altos, Rahav R. read more

My experience with Altos is Great! My family rented a duplex in Santa Clara for 15 months. We really like the place as it's pretty spacious for the price and also all utilities are included in rent (except Internet). The neighborhood is also pretty safe, but we have to move out to a bigger place since my brother just got married. Overall, Chris is really responsive and be on top of our request/concern. Everything is available for you to do online, from making payment to submitting maintenance request. The process is quick and easy. Altos will arrange to have someone come over to take care of the problem with 24-48hrs. I highly recommend Altos Advisors! read more

I have been using Altos Realty to manage my apartment in Mountain View for the last two years. Justin has been managing my place and is always really quick to respond to my sometimes endless emails. My tenants have recently pointed out that Altos' contractors have been quick to fix issues with the apartment, which I appreciate, as I've used other property managers in the past and that is not always the case. Justin and his team are really easy to work with. read more

I rented a Sunnyvale condo with Altos between 10/2018 and 09/2020. My overall experience was horrible. My property manager was Mark Linden They are probably the most unprofessional landlords I've dealt with in my whole life. When they want something, they're always available, but when you need something, it takes several emails and phone calls. Maintenance is never timely, and simple issues drag for days. And when something is not to your liking, they always say "it's not our property it's up to the owner we're just middlemen" but at the same time they don't represent you to the owner like they represent the owner to you. For instance, we spent MONTHS complaining that the washer is literally dancing and making a horrible noise. They kept dragging the issue, and although they saw it in action, they kept saying that the owner doesn't want to replace it because "no previous tenant had a complaint with it". Try explaining "everything has a beginning" to these people and you'll fail. It was literally months of nagging until they replaced it and basically added its price to the next year's lease. Four months before we decided to move out, we saw the wooden floor planks surrounding the bathroom strangely expand, which looked like water damage. We know 100% we didn't wet the floor. The damage spanned parts of the three different rooms surrounding the bathroom, close to the walls, so it is obvious there is some water leakage either under the bathroom floor, or from the wall base above it. They refused to look at it before we move out, and after we moved out, they claimed they looked and found no leakage anywhere. Again, I know 100% we didn't wet it. Long story short, they charged us an arbitrary $2500 out of our deposit for replacing the floors. I seriously considered going to small claims court, but I've already moved to Texas (which they're aware of), and it's not worth my while traveling back. So I settled for this honest detailed review. I hope nobody faces such a horrible experience with them again. read more

I lived at one of Altos Realty properties for a year and Bailey Vargas was my property manager during this period. Bailey was amazing throughout. She was very professional, knowledgeable, prompt with answering questions and always followed up on maintenance issues. She was always flexible to accommodate my work schedule and went above and beyond to help me with apartment-related issues-- whether it was working with vendors to attend to building repairs, helping me with paperwork or settling security deposit matters. I highly recommend Bailey/Altos Realty to anyone looking for a place to live in the Bay Area!! read more

We rented a house managed by Altos for a couple of years and had a fantastic experience with them. Our contact person was Justin Accola and he was always very responsive, and always ensured that our problems were sorted out immediately. He went above and beyond to help us in anyway possible even during the pandemic lockdown periods and got us the handyman or service required. After renting in bay area for many years at different places, I have had mostly bad to mediocre experience with the management or while moving out but I was pleasantly surprised by how smooth everything was with Altos and especially Justin. Very highly recommended! read more

I lived in a Mountain View unit managed by Justin Accola from Altos for almost 8 years and was so sad when it came time to move on. Justin was always extremely responsive (like we're talking responses within half an hour and at max a few hours) and got repairs done ASAP including leaking bathtubs, pilot light heater, dryer issues, etc. He was always communicative with any house changes that needed to be done (replacement of carbon monoxide detectors, balcony renovation, etc). I also super appreciated Justin's help with replacing the light in the stairwell that we couldn't reach because we didn't have a ladder and he sent someone over to help replace the bulb immediately. I literally couldn't have asked for a better landlord and property management company to work with. Highly recommend Justin & Altos Realty!! read more

Matt and his team are wonderful and very responsive to both the owner & the tenant. I used them for 15 years and recommend Altos Advisors highly! read more

Had an interesting experience moving out of an apartment altos managed. The owner wanted to charge all these damages that we knew we didn't do. we received a letter of the damages and the amounts he was trying to charge us were just outrageous and didn't add up. Chris Effler, the property manager was stuck in the middle and he made it work to where we left feeling better about the situation. read more

Horrible services. Main phone line is rarely answered. Had to call multiple times to get a live person. No phone messages were ever returned. Was also given the wrong advisor for the property I inquired about. And after 4 days of trying to reach someone when I finally did get the right person, I was told the property was rented three weeks prior even though there were multiple listing still active online. Would not recommend. read more

Chris was our property manager at a complex near downtown Sunnyvale and he was the absolute best! He was always responsive and took care of anything we needed without hesitation. My husband and I have not always had the best luck dealing with property companies here in the Silicon Valley, but we were both very pleased working with Altos and specifically Chris the 2+ years we lived in our apartment. The ONLY reason we moved was because we needed a bigger space close to my husbands job. If not, we would have definitely stuck around. If you are looking for a property manager with Altos, Chris is your guy! read more

I had a really good experience with Altos Realty. I worked with Laura and she was really helpful in getting us the townhouse on rent. The dealing and response were quick, there was no issues whatsoever in finances of the rents and security. We had a couple of minor breakdowns in the house but their maintenance team was quick. We have now become homeowners and if need be, i will use Altos Realty to rent out my home. I was fully happy with them. Thanks again to Laura for all the help. read more

We really appreciate the care shown us by Chris Effler and Altos. Went back to renting from home owner to work in the area. This value priced home fit us perfectly. Had very few issues that we couldn't take care of ourselves so we did call for help Chris was on it immediately. They have a great group of contractors on call. They were even understanding when our electrical outage was just a hidden GFI outlet. read more

I lived in my old apartment that was run by a property manager who managed two complexes, for about four years. After year three, the complex was sold and we now had Altos as our property management. I have to admit, I was really worried. Was this new company going to be attentive to our service requests? I cannot tell you how refreshing it was to see first hand that my doubts as a resident were not needed. Justin always made any service request in my apartment a priority. The fact that I was able to pay my rent online after paying it by check for three years was also a HUGE plus. I used to have to drive to Cupertino and drop it off every. single. month. What a pain! I was sad to move form a place I have called home for so long, but the move out process was a breeze. Thank you Justin Accola for an extremely JOB WELL DONE! read more

One of the better property management company I've dealt with. I've had a wonderful experience renting from them. I've had no stress and headaches because they get things done!

We rented from them for 5 years. Justin the property manager was amazing, always went above and beyond to make sure everything was good. If there were any questions he answered them immediately and Paul was wonderful with the repairs! Great company to rent from. Thank you Justin and Paul! read more

I have been living at my apartment for 2 years now and i have found my experience with Altos realty advisors to be very pleasant. Justin (my property manager) is extremely efficient. He is great at returning phone calls and emails right away and always coming up with a solution to everything. Also, Chris who works for the company as well is also always such great help and is extremely friendly. Both of these guys truly care about keeping all of their tenants happy. I also love that you can pay the rent online. it's much more convenient then having to mail it or drop it off. Thank you guys for making my experience living here to be a pleasant one without. I'll miss living here!! Lea vigdor- current tenant read more

My wife and I lived in one the Altos managed apartments for a year. The apt itself was nice, spacious, ton of natural sun light and cross ventilation. Chris was the property manager and was always available for help. The only reason we moved out was because I got a new job in Washington. We would have continued to stay there otherwise. read more

We worked with Altos as renters for 9 years. Matt was our primary contact and he provided excellent customer service at all times. He was highly responsive to every email and always made sure if something was broken in the home it was fixed right away. The online system made it easy to submit tickets as well. I would highly recommend Altos if you are looking for a property to rent and I can say nothing but positive words about Altos Reality Advisors and especially working with Matt Accola. read more

I've lived in an Altos managed condo for the past 2 years. Chris was always very quick to respond to any questions or issues, and move in/out was easy. I would highly recommend them. read more

My fiancé and I rented an apartment from Chris for 3 years and had a great experience. Chris became a good friend of ours and just shows how much he cares about how happy we are at the property. Altos Realty is very responsive and provided great value for us. read more

Lived in an apartment managed by Altos for a year. Probably the best company I leased through. Apartment was very thoroughly cleaned and looked brand new upon moveins, and there were rarely any issues or damages during my stay. When there were issues, Chris and team respond immediately and send the handy man the day of and sometimes in the same hour you call. Definitely recommend you browse through apartments and houses from this company. read more

I stayed in one of their San Jose properties while working in the bay area. The unit had been very well maintained and Chris, the land lord, was great to work with for anything that was needed. If I ever move back to the bay area in the future, I would 100% look to Altos Realty for any available units read more

I lived in a Compass Realty (turned into Altos about a year ago) managed property for two years and have nothing but positive things to say about Chris, our contact with the company. Whenever we had a problem, Chris was welcoming to a text about the issue and always had a prompt response and solution. The company has an easy online portal for paying the bills and we did not run into any issues that they were not able to resolve quickly. It was great to live in a property with such attentive and supportive management. Thanks Chris! read more

Definitely five stars for its professional. Rented with them for 1 year, they provide nice houses with a fair price. Chris, one of the agent was helpful, awesome and pretty reliable. He helps me through all of my problems. Altos Realty Advisors is worth being co-operated with. Will recommend it to my friends. read more

First time to rent a house and I met Justin who is Manager of Altos Realty. I really appreciate your kind supportive for a single-mom like me who moved into a house with 2 bedrooms within 24 hours. The service here is fast, professional and kindly. When you need maintenance service, they send maintenance guys right away just like a flash. Highly recommend!!!! read more

I lived at a property managed by Altos for 2 years. I'm sad I left- Justin was a great property manager. When I had a time sensitive request he would get back to me immediately (changing locks, maintenance, etc). The guys at Altos always had a very laid back/positive attitude when I talked to them. If this new place doesn't work out I will definitely rent from a property managed by Altos in the future. read more
