BEWARE. Unfortunately, I had to deal with SBMI and their property managers' incompetences for a…read moreyear. STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS. The property manager, Denise in particular, doesn't care about her tenants; she only cares about making money for herself. I gave her multiple chances throughout being her tenant for a year to change this outlook on her and the company she represents, but sadly she continued to frustrate, anger, and disappoint me and my roommates. The property managers are rarely in their office, and it takes on average 3-5 phone calls, messages, and/or e-mails to get ahold of them. Maintenance requests take weeks to be fulfilled. We spent over 1,000$ on cleaning services while moving out in order to maximize the amount refunded on our security deposit, but somehow Denise and SBMI group decided they could still deduct an alarming amount from our deposit with no explanation. As if issues with contacting and communicating the property manager shouldn't be enough to deem this business incompetent and pathetic, all they want is to take your money. I have never worked with less intelligent people in my history of being a tenant. The lack of professional manner and laziness is appalling.

Beware! SBMI Group (also known as Inflexus Management) is a scam company. We had a terrible…read moreexperience with this company. If you do not want to be robbed with some ungrounded charges do not rent from these guys! If I tried to write every issue that happened with these guys then it would take many pages so I will write it briefly. First of all, we received the property very dirty and under horrific conditions. Many things were broken and we had to wait weeks and months for them to be fixed. One particular issue was we had no hot water in the beginning so we took shower with cold water for nearly a month because SBMI Group could not send us someone to fix! The other thing is after leaving the house they charged us an outrageous fee for cleaning and maintenance. The bill was couple of thousand dollars and there were claims that we broke numerous things in the house. But we know by fact that we received the house under terrible conditions and we are not responsible for any of the broken stuff (Which they also know this very well since we told them). These guys only focus on finding an excuse to rob you. That's why they probably changed their name from Inflexus Management to SBMI Group because people started to notice their infamous scam. Do yourself a favor and stay away from these guys!

Afterwards, David did not respond to a single email asking whether or not our application was denied or why, despite politely asking so we could make informed housing decisions.

We don't expect to be successful with every housing application, but we do expect the courtesy of being told that we were denied after shelling out an application fee.

We've been renting a town-home for over two years and Centre City is the property manager. From…read morethe start, they have given us exceptional service. From the moment we found the unit on Craigslist all the way up until our latest request. Since we've been here, they have responded immediately to all of our requests (and we've had a few!). For example, we wanted to start using the fireplace and I wanted the chimney inspected first. I contacted David and he had a company contact me right away to schedule an appointment. I was able to schedule a time that worked for us and they sent out a very reputable company that was able to give us the go-ahead to use our fireplace. Because we have a cat and cannot leave our doors open, I asked if they could add a steel security/screen door to the entry. Days later, we had a great new door and they even changed the other deadbolts to match the one on the new door. Their service team is fast, friendly and efficient. Another time, we asked about a replacement faucet for the kitchen because the existing one was corroded and had a lot of limescale. They didn't hesitate to send out one of their guys to replace the faucet. Another time, they had one of their people come out and (pro actively) install carbon monoxide detectors. Again, we live in a town home, which may be different from their other properties. Our house has many window screens and quite a few needed to be replaced either due to old age or the neighbor's cat jumping through one. Again, they sent out a well reviewed company that replaced all of our screens. Speaking of windows, we have very high ceilings and three windows high up there. The windows didn't have any blinds and sometimes gave us much more than we wanted. I asked David if they could do something about it, and again, he sent a service to the house and they put in/replaced binds on all of the windows we requested. As I am typing, I just remembered that we asked for a bigger refrigerator and not only did they provide it, they even asked what style and color we'd like. Most recently, last week, I asked if they could send someone to look at our garbage disposal. We never used it because the sink would get clogged all the time regardless of what was put down the disposal. Within 24 we had a new one. Moments after my email to David, the plumbing company called to schedule an appointment. Plumber showed up, polite and courteous (he treated me like an intelligent person, not asking questions like "do you put bones, egg shells, or small children down the disposal). I should make it clear that I do not work for CCPM, nor am I affiliated with them in any other way than a renter. This is an honest review. In summary, David Freitas, who is my primary contact, and Centre City have been nothing but great to us and made our living experience above what we could have expected. Granted, we are renting from a private party via Centre City, but that should not matter given the quality of service they provide. I read the two other reviews here (it's unfortunate that no one else has taken the time to write a positive review) and they are obviously written by a couple of disgruntled customers. If you read their other reviews, they only seem to speak up when they feel they have poor service. The choices I make for products and services are determined primarily through recommendations from friends and reviews I read on sites like Yelp!. I do my research before hand and make sure I know what I am getting into. I recommend if you have had a positive experience with CCPM or any other company for that matter that you take a few minutes and give some feedback. In our society we are all to eager to complain or only take action when we are mad. I wish my 5 star review could bump them up a few notches on Yelp, but it probably won't offset the two one star reviews - unfortunately. Thanks to David and his team at Centre City Property Management. Looking forward to many more years at our home.

Sandra Chavez - The Best Property Manager We've Ever Had…read more We've lived in 10+ different homes over the last decade due to the military lifestyle, and I can say without hesitation that no property manager has even come close to the level of responsiveness, professionalism, and genuine care that Sandra Chavez provides. Sandra has been our property manager for roughly 21 months, and from day one she has been an advocate (both for owner AND tenant - something rare in the tenant word.) Whether it was a small concern or a larger issue, she handled everything with a level of urgency and professionalism that made us feel truly supported. What impresses me the most is her consistency. Anyone can be great for a month or two. Sandra has been exceptional the entire duration of our lease. If you're lucky enough to have her managing your property, you're in excellent hands. As a hopeful home owner one day, I wish I could clone her. Highly, highly recommend.

A Cautionary Tale of Renting with MG Real Estate Management - High Rent, High Hopes, Low Delivery…read more Marc has mastered the art of underwhelming his tenants. For nearly $4,000 monthly rent, one might expect top-notch service, but alas, expectations and reality are planets apart here. I'll spare his business partner and girlfriend, Melissa, from this critique. She's not very involved with the business, and our rare interactions with her have been relatively pleasant. I see it's been years since anyone left Marc's management company a good review, clearly they have gone downhill. Our tenancy kicked off with a bang - a major kitchen flood just weeks into our lease. After a brief, misguided attempt to blame us, Marc admitted the flood was due to his negligence in fixing the pipe-faucet connection pre-move-in. The aftermath? Destroyed kitchen and living room floors, extending the damage to the unit below. Despite admitting fault, Marc kept pushing back against repairing the floors, saying the owner didn't want to pay for it. We ended up with about half the damaged floorboards replaced, leaving our hardwood floor looking better suited for a frat house than a high-end apartment. Let's talk repairs, or the lack thereof. Marc's response time is impressive if you appreciate a snail's pace. Acknowledgment of a repair request takes about a week, and action? Well, add another 2-4 weeks to your waiting game. Case in point: the seal on our freezer broke and the freezer beeped incessantly for 2 months before Marc got around to scheduling a service appointment. Then there's the rent saga. When we had toured the unit, Marc made this big show of how he doesn't raise rents during the first lease renewal and only asks for minimal increases in subsequent years. When it came time to renew the lease, there was a $100 increase. Now, granted this isn't a massive rent increase, but we did let Marc know this was not consistent with what we had discussed. Marc responded with an essay on his generosity of only raising rent by $100, claiming market rates were sky-high. Spoiler alert: upon moving out six months later, he couldn't even rent the unit at our original rate! Advice for future tenants: document everything. Marc's fond of pinning existing damages on outgoing tenants. We faced potential charges for items and damages predating our tenancy. Marc's modus operandi seems to involve neglecting repairs, only to use them as leverage for deposit deductions. And my final piece of advice? If possible, just avoid renting with Marc. San Diego's full of great units where dealing with the property manager isn't a pain! You might be thinking, "Sure, Marc's not tenant-friendly, but maybe he's a solid choice for landlords looking for a property manager?" Think again. There are two key reasons why Marc is a questionable choice for managing your property too. He lacks conscientiousness in managing repair costs. For example, upon move in our AC didn't work. It turned out to be a single switch that was off and the repairman charged $350 for the 2-minute visit. With Marc, you're likely to hemorrhage money on basic maintenance while he conveniently overlooks essential upkeep. Secondly, don't expect him to go the extra mile to rent out your unit. When we were moving out, he only gave a tour to one potential tenant and the photos on the Zillow listing looked like they had been taken on a flip phone. In summary, whether you're a tenant or a property owner, entrusting your living space or investment to Marc might not be the wisest decision.

I was looking for a Property Management company, and WeLease came recommended from my realtor…read more To be honest, I have no idea where to begin except just ask a ton of random questions. Their website has the slogan of "Property Management Done Right", which made me feel better. My initial call was with Billy Colestock (owner of WeLease and also Big Block Realty). After a quick phone chat, he invited me into the WeLease office to meet and walked me through their "Full Service Property Management Agreement", which really helped me calm my nerves. I had profusely apologized in the office visit for my random questions and going down a mental checklist of all the things that could go wrong, but Billy was patient with me. I didn't want to deal with a tenant or the potential for associated people problems, but the math didn't work for me to sell the property. The "Full Service Property Management Agreement" literally covered all the questions I could think of including all the potential issues that could arise. The agreement was also really clear on expectations of me (i.e. related paperwork, insurance, property to be professionally cleaned, etc). I learned that Billy Colestock and Yesenia Nogales have a combined 30 years in real estate. That means they are not in the business to mess around! I also really liked that they have a long list of "WeBelieve" values, and there were Christmas presents for some of their vendors when I visited the office in November. Vibe felt really good! What I liked about WeLease: - WeLease will market, lease property, collect rent, coordinate maintenance, and handle any concerns or questions from the tenant; I literally don't have to lift a finger *WHEW* - There is a team! A person dedicated for each step of the process (i.e. onboarding, vacancy stage, resident / client relations, applications / move-ins, maintenance, showings, etc). I spent the most time with 3 team members (1 for onboarding, 1 for coordinating vendors to fix up my place & showings, and 1 for showings & prospective tenants). - Communications! - I really liked that the whole team is really good on communications. I always knew where I was in the process and what vendors were going into my property to fix what items before the first tenant was placed. - Online Portal for owner and tenants - All the important documents are loaded onto the owner portal (i.e. monthly statements, inspection reports, tenant lease agreement, and contribute monies for vendor maintenance invoices). I signed the Management Agreement after the office visit, but I didn't realize until after that WeLease was named the "Best Property Manager in San Diego in 2021" by Expertise.com and also named "San Diego's Best from Union-Tribune Readers Poll in 2022". Long story short, don't hesitate to hire WeLease if you are on the fence!! GOOD LUCK PROPERTY MANAGING!!

DO NOT TRUST! My roommates and I moved into our unit and…read morewithin roughly a month there was a bathroom leak. I put the work order in and the team started their work (they were good with response time). It took them about three months to finish the bathroom causing us to go from two bathrooms to one. Every time they finished (roughly four/five times); the inspector would come in and reject the work and they would restart. During this time the team would leave their supplies in the bathroom (not a problem), but causing the bathroom entirely inaccessible. This caused a huge problem for us in the mornings seeing how there were two teachers and a healthcare worker in the apartment. On January 10th, we come back from doing birthday errands and find the "final" bathroom vandalized and broken to pieces. Their employees broke into our apartment and hammered the shower because the work was rejected yet again. I had to medicate my dog due the anxiety and fear that the hammering caused. They took no responsibility for what their team did and never informed us on what their "investigation" found. With that week being two of our birthday weekend we asked for a break from construction due to visitors. They finished the project the following week. Now that the project is finished they asked us to do their work and give them an amount we fill is acceptable as a compensation. I did some comparisons of three bedroom two bath to three bedroom one bath in the area. Sent over my work (roughly $1,000) and received an email back stating $300 would be a more appropriate amount. They do not care about their residents, but only the profits that they provide for their businesses. We have had too many issues for only six out of the eight month lease. Will not be using them again.
