I am an out of state landlord who had fired my friend who couldn't do a job at managing my property. Then I switched to Concept 360 through a referral from an old colleague and everything was just right. I should have gone with Concept 360 in the first place, but you live and you learn, and it's just never too late to make the right choice. I spoke to Robin Reed first and then got to know Will Reed. Now, I directed all my communication to Dana Parsons. Dana understood my situation and provided solutions. We worked together to manage the tenant-landlord relationship without rocking the boat too much. I really appreciated what Dana has done. All in all, I felt that I can go back to my busy life and be assured that I am in good hands (like the Allstate commercial). Nathan Vo

12 years Yelp Elite Member and I am pointing this out in hopes that you will read my entire review…read moreto make sure you are aware when considering a rental unit. When dealing with this Property Management company, please make sure that you ask questions and read everything - the listing, their emails, Application, and more importantly the Lease Agreement. They will loosely use the term Security Deposit but what they really mean is a Holding Deposit. They will even say it is Earnest Money, which this term is only for Real Estate property sale. If you are serious about considering a rental property, I suggest that you review the lease prior to handing over the "Security Deposit." Just as I have explained above, they will call it a Security Deposit and if you do not like the terms of the Lease Agreement, they will keep the Security Deposit. They say, as they explained in my original post and is below, that the money provided is "Earnest Money" and will not be returned because they took the property off the market. Rightfully so, but they need to disclose that upfront and in writing and not take the entire "Security Deposit" worth one month's rent. A Holding Deposit is typically only $100 to $300 (from past experience). Additionally, when you provide the "Security Deposit" which means the Holding Deposit, they do not provide request an acknowledgement letter to be signed stating that the money will be kept if the rental does not go through. Nor does the receipt did that as well. In any case, the "Security Deposit" was handed to them, and they took two weeks to provide a copy of the Lease Agreement. It is not a standard agreement that majority of rental use. It has a lot of language that is one sided. Yes, we have renters rights but because it is a contract, I can see you'd have to go to court to fight some of the terms in the contract. Obviously, this is speculation. Please do note that if you were to take legal action against this property management company, there are provisions that state you will have to pay their legal fees. That was my main red flag, but all the untraditional additional fees like administrative fees, not being present if they need to access the apartment ($250), and so forth. It's one page. On top of the $38/month to use AppFolio app to pay for rent when my previous landlord, it was free. These items add up and rent is expensive to begin with. Be smart. Don't hand over money. The Lease and the Security Deposit go hand in hand and submitted at the same time. It's not Security Deposit first. Like they say, scammers usually try to rush you over the phone with a sense of urgency. This is the same. Make sure you are covered, and trust your gut instinct. A few people have messaged me after my original review and said it happened to them too. Don't be fooled. Why would you be penalized if they took down an apartment from any listing prior to having a lease signed? Because you already gave them the so called "Security Deposit." All they have to do to change this is call it a "Holding Deposit," and give the least upfront to potential renters. Then they wouldn't be doing anything unethical. If I didn't have contract knowledge or common sense, I'm sure I would've been dupped. I just wish property managers who hire this company know their practices and even look at the lease agreement they are providing potential tenants. Yes, it'll protect you too as the owner but it just doesn't seem right given people who rent really don't have that much money to give away. PS. Their comment to my previous review, which all of this is now edited, is incorrect. Please research further in regards to the terms they will use and know your rights. What's right, what's wrong, what can they do, what they are not allowed to do, and more importantly what's legal, what's illegal. It is funny to see that their comment was really to find out who I was versus, "I'm sorry for the misunderstanding." That gives you the whole story on their customer service skills and intentions. Their good intentions are for their clients, obviously. Be nice, have more properties to manage. I wonder where the "Earnest Money" as they call it, goes to? To them, or to the property owners. LOL

They help with the City programs around low-income assistance for tenants and are proactive about repairs. I work with two other property management companies and Appleby is by far the best. For tenants entering negative reviews, remember that this is a property management company, often it is your HOA Board Members or the landlords are making the decision to accept/fix your maintenance request, not the management company. The property managers are not the final decision maker on your requests or complaints, but they have to deliver the bad news.

If you're looking for a property management company that treats homeowners like adversaries instead…read moreof clients, you've found it. I've owned/managed my unit for years, and nearly every interaction with Appleby Property Management has turned into an unnecessary battle. Instead of helping owners, they seem far more interested in creating obstacles, sending warning letters, and making simple issues far more complicated than they need to be. Need to perform improvements? Expect pushback. Trying to rent your property? Expect more pushback. Need a straightforward answer? Prepare for vague responses and finger-pointing. One incident was particularly absurd: a noise complaint was lodged against my unit when my tenants weren't even home. They weren't in the building. Despite that, the situation escalated to the point where legal counsel became involved. That's not competent management--that's poor judgment. Most recently, someone parked in my assigned garage space without authorization. Rather than offering any meaningful assistance or even attempting to help identify the responsible party, the response was essentially, "Not our problem. Call a tow truck." Yet this same management company seems to have no shortage of time when it comes to policing owners over far less significant issues. Consistency matters. If the Association is going to take a hands-off approach when owners need assistance, then it should stop inserting itself into every other aspect of owners' lives. Homeowners pay HOA dues with the expectation of professional, fair, and consistent management. Unfortunately, my experience has been the opposite. Communication has often felt dismissive, accountability is lacking, and the overall approach has been unnecessarily adversarial. I sincerely hope the Board takes a hard look at how owners are being treated because this level of service does not reflect what homeowners should expect from a professional management company.

My…read moreexperience with Real Property Management in Long Beach has been extremely frustrating and unprofessional. After moving out of the unit at 3951-3056 Howard Ave in Los Alamitos, I completed a walkthrough where I was told I would not be charged for cleaning. The apartment was completely emptied out -- it's a very small 2-bedroom, 1-bath unit with no garage after the property removed garages to build ADUs. Despite this, they are now attempting to withhold my security deposit with questionable charges such as "junk removal" and cleaning fees. It is now day 22, and I still have not received my deposit back or adequate communication. Multiple calls and emails have gone unanswered. On top of that, tenants had to deal with ongoing construction, parking issues, maintenance problems, and constant disruptions while living there. At this point, I am preparing to pursue the matter in small claims court due to what I believe is bad-faith withholding of my deposit. I recommend future renters document everything carefully and know their tenant rights before renting here.

Then they responded to his review with a long list of lies (unbelievable, but not at all surprising). They concluded that we should have sued if we felt that way. What a remarkable response. We actually explored that option, but were told by every lawyer we called that it would take many years in court and tens of thousands of dollars invested before winning. Definitely not how we wanted to spend our golden years. CMC knows that, and that's why they mistreat owners and renters alike with impunity.
