From the day I moved in until the day I moved out, the team was professional, honest, and easy to work with. The property was well maintained, and whenever something needed attention, it was handled quickly without a lot of back-and-forth. A special thanks goes to Zach. He was consistently responsive, approachable, and genuinely helpful. Whether I had a maintenance question or needed clarification about something related to the property, he always got back to me promptly and made sure everything was taken care of. It's clear he takes pride in providing great service. Finding a management company that communicates well and follows through is harder than it should be, but Crown Management did exactly that throughout my entire tenancy. I would absolutely rent from them again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a place in Pacific Beach.

Excellent management company. Very responsive and reasonable people…read more I've been at the same location since 2018 and have been through a number of owners and management companies. These guys are the best by far. Recently we had a pest control company come out for preventive maintenance on a number of units. The pest control company assured everyone that no special care needed to be taken to protect our belongings from an all-day heat treatment of our units. Well the treatment ended up damaging a lot of property, both belonging to individual tenants like me (shoes, computer monitor, etc.), and also belonging to the property owner (such as warping plastic blinds). I've been working closely with Sean and Laura at Advantage Team to resolve the issue. Sean came out to see all of the damage in person and could not have been more sincerely apologetic and reassuring that I would be made whole. And today, Laura e-mailed me to ask whether I'd like a check or a rent credit for my damaged property. While the liability does seem to lie with the pest control company, Laura said her team would prefer to take care of me now so I don't have to wait, and that they'll pursue the pest control company for reimbursement on their own. Really an above and beyond gesture. My experience with virtually every other management company is that you need to be prepared to go to small claims court to be made whole in a situation like this. So it was a huge relief to realize I would not need to do that. Sean and Laura have been nothing but honest, friendly, and helpful throughout this ordeal. And that's also been my general experience over the last few years they've been managing. I expect to be here a few more years and I really hope these guys are the managers for the rest of that time. Thanks a lot, you guys.

Jackie, the owner, runs this family business with such integrity, professionalism, and care -- it really shows in every interaction. They handle everything thoughtfully, efficiently, and with great attention to detail. Communication is clear, follow-ups are timely, and I always feel supported and confident that things are being managed properly. It's rare to find a management company that is both highly professional and genuinely caring, but Alta Vista is exactly that. I've worked with two other management companies in the past 13 years for La Jolla property , so I have a strong basis for comparison, and that experience is precisely why I can say I highly recommend Alta Vista. The difference in quality, organization, and overall experience has been night and day. If you're looking for a reliable, professional, and truly hands-on management company, Alta Vista is an excellent choice.

We own 3 little houses in Normal Heights. We live in one and rent out the other two. We needed a…read moreproperty management company. But our property is old and of modest quality; it has several quirks. Initially, we went with Cal-Prop b/c of Melissa Kleifgen, one of their V-Ps. She knows about property management AND construction; she has helped coordinate improvements. She is friendly, direct, straightforward, and a solid communicator. She knows when to show her formal side, and when to reveal her sense of humor. Later, we discovered that they have an outstanding handyperson, Dirk. He must have a magic wand in his tool box. He is versatile, resourceful, and adaptable. He does quality work, with an eye to longevity. Example: We wanted to replace a back door at a vacant rental. At a yard sale, we found a gently-used "Hollywood" door. It's the kind that has little windows that you can slide up and down. Although it was too tall and too wide, he trimmed it to fit. It opens and shuts SMOOTHLY. He also notices things that need attention that we have overlooked. For instance, after the appliance company had replaced a gas stove with an electric one, he decided to cap off the gas line so that it could not be opened by accident. Dirk and some others did a fine job fixing up our vacant house. And Melissa and her team found us a pleasant new tenant. All within 27 days of when the former tenants had moved out! And they have been prompt about sending out a variety of people when repairs have been needed. We were nervous, but we didn't need to be. We are relieved.

The second one on paper was fantastic, but during my tour I noticed the shower's water pressure wasn't working properly (split between the faucet), the freezer was overworked (really loud fan) but wasn't actually cold--I suspect it needs to be replaced entirely-- and the cabinet paint was bubbling above the hood too, probably from overheating!! The worst part was the yard, completely unsafe for move-in with rotten 2x4s, an old dog house, grass growing through the concreted and a huge hole in the fence. And this is just what I could see in 20 mins!!! As a dog owner, I knew I couldn't bring my pet to this place without significant repairs to the yard, which was supposed to be the selling point of the apartment. When I voiced that I would need to be reassured that these clear issues would be addressed, and put into writing, I kept getting texts from Christine and Alyssa that "these things" could be taken care of, but never would they write in an email about what would be done by my move in date. Of course, they still had the time to email me about my current landlord and other minor things, lol. It's so unethical that they'd send me a lease and tell me I needed to complete my move-in paperwork and can't even list what repairs this apartment needed.

If you're a property owner looking to expose yourself to legal risk, Shore Management might be the…read morecompany for you. As a tenant, I've experienced firsthand what can only be described as negligence and unprofessionalism. They attempt to charge fees that appear to be unlawful under California tenant protection laws, and there's absolutely no sense of urgency when it comes to critical habitability issues--like being without hot water. After reporting the issue, one plumber came out and claimed a part was needed but never returned. Rather than escalating or sending a different plumber to resolve the issue, nothing was done. I had to reach out multiple times just to get an update. Eventually, I was told the problem was a full water heater replacement--but this wasn't acted on with the urgency required by law. Even more concerning: when I asked why additional help wasn't sent sooner, I was told by someone named Buzz that I didn't know what I was talking about. He literally hung up on me. His dismissive tone and refusal to accept reasonable questions is exactly what's wrong with this company. As a property manager myself, I can confidently say this is not how urgent maintenance or legal compliance should be handled. This wasn't the only issue. It took four separate visits to fix a porch light, with different workers coming each time--none of whom seemed qualified. One even installed a sensor light on a unit that wasn't wired for it. Shore Management is a liability waiting to happen. Their poor hiring standards, lack of professionalism, and disregard for tenant rights make them a terrible choice for both tenants and owners. Buzz, in particular, should not be overseeing any work orders--his attitude and lack of accountability are a major part of the problem.
