If you're reading this in the future and are thinking about renting out 11554 Arminta street, prepare for CONSTANT maintenance issues! My experience with clear stone property management has been a nightmare and they absolutely preyed on me and misrepresented the unit because I offered to pay the year upfront. My unit was never registered with USPS so I had major mail issues. I wasn't told by the owner until after I moved in about the frequent ant infestations. The AC repair man told me that the contractors of my unit were super cheap and didn't bother to put refrigerant in my unit, which is why my AC wasn't working for months. Any request that I pleaded for was ignored, despite the owners talking badly about clearstone. The unit basically became inhabitable to the point that I literally couldn't understand what was happening with my AC, and combined with the constant ant infestations, my cat stopped eating and developed documented health issues. The oven, electricity, everything in my unit is just completely messed up. Whatever contractors clearstone works with sucks! I begged to be let out of my lease because of how awful it is to live here and how severely the unit was mishandled and misrepresented, but nothing was done to even attempt to help me. I ended up talking to my parents and showing them the emails and messages and they were livid, so we retained representation to get out of the lease. Cheap owners and a predatory property management company. Moving here was a huge mistake :( read more

Clearstone has been managing our family rental in Reseda since 2021. We were moving out of state and needed a management company to take care of our "baby". I've heard so many horror stories about management companies, so I did as much research as possible and spoke with as many companies as possible. We ended up choosing Clearstone and have not been disappointed. They are very communicative and responsive to issues and questions. They do a great job keeping an eye on the property, checking in with tenants and and keeping us informed. We're not big investors, so there was a lot riding on choosing a solid management company, and 5 years later we still feel we've made the best choice. read more

Worst experience I've ever had. If you don't want frustration and a lack of responsibility, don't hire this company. I would usually have to call and leave 2 or 3 messages before getting a response and there was very little follow up on things. The company rented the house to someone that was doing drugs and making porno content. Also, the person had a fake ID. Clearstone claimed that they checked the lady out carefully but evidentially not carefully enough. There was a lot of damage done to the house that was not repairable. Please check them Out carefully before making a commitment. read more

I needed someone to help me manage my property because I just didn't want to deal with it anymore. I reached out to Jeff, and he got back to me right away. From the start, he was super professional, friendly, and easy to talk to. He scheduled a time to come by and see the property, and he took the time to really explain everything in detail -- from what I could expect to how much I could potentially make. Jeff made the whole process so simple and stress-free. He really knows what he's doing and genuinely cares about helping his clients. After that, he introduced me to the property manager, and everything has been smooth since. I've had only great experiences with this company, and I can't recommend Jeff enough! read more

We are very pleased with the service from Clearstone. They found us some wonderful renters for our townhouse during the holidays when there wasn't much activity. We will use them again in the future. read more

Our apartment complex just recently sold and we are now being managed by Clearstone Property Management. I couldn't be happier. From the very first day they have been very communicative, letting us know what the future is looking like. The calmed tenants nerves and reassured us that the building was not being torn down and in fact would be improved. Long neglected repairs have been taken care of right away using their handy online maintenance request forms. Representatives we have met have all been so nice and professional. I know there will be some disturbance while they remodel much needed apartments and relandscape etc. But in the end Clearstone has me convinced it will be so much nicer. My husband and I are very happy to be in their more than capable hands. read more

I needed a property manager for my Encino condo. I live in Florida and have been using property managers for 20 years so have some knowledge. Problem is I had no referrals in Los Angeles and found about 100 property managers, so had to research on my own and hopefully make the right choice. I ended with 3 companies and chose Clearstone, with the thought that I would try it for 1 year. Now on year 2 and things have been well. However, the true test is when there are serious problems of which I've had none. So my current review is 5 stars and hopefully to stay 5 stars even after any major events. I did see a lot of negative reviews from around 2013 so I'm assuming things have changed since then because most current reviews are positive and match my experience. Managing properties is a very difficult job, and it is impossible to prevent a very bad tenant from getting into your unit. You just have to know all the tricks to prevent them from getting them in, and if they do, all the tricks to get them out. So if I do have a negative event in the future, I'll just have to see how we work through it. read more

Front desk girl was very kind and was doing her job amazingly. Really good customer service.

I was contemplating on leaving ClearStone P.M. and look at other property management companies, I just didn't feel right with them lately, then Estuardo Tong became my agent and he's the best agent I've had so far. Estuardo has been super accessible, easy to communicate on what's happening with my property and super helpful creating projects to maintain my property. He excels at his job and has gone out his way on multiple times to help me out and for that I really thank him. I look forward to having Estuardo Tong manage my property. read more

From the outset, ClearStone showed themselves to be sophisticated, highly competent, and well-organized professionals. My Property Manager, Estuardo (Stuart) Tong, especially, made the move-in process as seamless and smooth as he made himself easily accessible and responsive. A pleasure to work with. ClearStone was quick to action when a troublesome property issue later arose, and Stuart demonstrated strong communication skills in how he negotiated a remedy agreeable to both parties, overcoming barriers across the different circumstances, languages, and cultures of all involved. The issue was of a kind that could not be made right all at once in just a day's time, and I was relieved that I could turn to him throughout the various stages of the fix to express my concerns and exchange updates as we all worked together toward a resolution that was to everyone's satisfaction. The kind of diligence and stick-to-itive-ness that Mr. Tong exemplifies is of the sort that reaffirms one's faith in their fellow man, and I would absolutely recommend ClearStone Property Management to anyone who wants to be in good hands! read more

My family and I have been with ClearStone for almost 8 years now. They have always tried to work with our situations, like COVID-19 time and now that my husband is going through some health problems. Also when things need to get done in the house we rent they have been on top of it. Communication is good too. Nelson and Stewart are very responsive and helpful. read more

Clearstone property has been really helpful to me . Specially Stuart ,Every time I need something his always responding and just always on top of things. . No complains highly recommended read more

They're really a great property management company for tenants and owners. Would recommend both!

Household maintenance requests are followed through in a timely manner. Property management are readily available and easily reachable. Very kind, responsible and thorough management. read more

I am so glad I hired clearestone property managment company for my rental property. I don't have the stress of collecting rent and managing repairs. If any repair needed to be done or any kind of issue popes from the tenant, Stuart (clearestone employee) takes care of the issue proffesionally. Stuart knows how to get good quality materials and skilled handyman with reasonable fee. I am happy to have Stuart on my side as well as tenants side. When it comes the accounting part of income and expenses the company does awesome job documenting income and expenses. At the end of the year they send to owners income and expenses statment. Niko read more

Stuat is a true professional! He does his job well and throughly. He listens to concerns and answers all questions in detail as well as explains the rationale for given answers. I respect and value his honesty and knowledge of his business and laws that apply. read more

Hands down the best property management company I have worked with that really cares for the tenant! Shout out to Stuart who is a true professional and was our focal point for securing the house we wanted to rent! He provided a detailed account of the house and also provided a clear understanding of our rental contract. He is also the property manager and has done a wonderful job working with the house owner to get the house looking fantastic! Best of all, whenever there is maintenance to be done, the work is done almost immediately and with quality technicians. Thanks Clearstone Property Management! read more

I would really recommend Clear stone property management they're really helpful and attentive with they're tenants especially jimmy :)

Contacted them with interest in a townhouse they managed. Carlos responded promptly and offered to provide a virtual apartment viewing and asked for my information. I received an appointment time (and responded to confirm), and then recevied two more reminders for the appointment time in advance (which I continued to confirm). At the time of the appointment I was ready and waiting...and nothing. Waited for 20 minutes before calling the office and spoke with someone who apologized, said he was onto other appointments but could call us in 20 minutes. So, again, we waited at the appointment time for a call and NOTHINGGGGGG. At that point we gave up because we had other things to do that day. read more

Jimmy is my new property manager and he makes himself available to address any concerns that I have and to keep me updated. I have been with ClearStone for over 10 years and the team there has always been very professional and yet sympathetic to my issues. read more

I have nothing but great things to say about Stuart and the property management company. They have been extremely attentive, respectful and polite throughout my contract. I would highly recommend getting into contact with Stuart if you need helping finding a rental. read more

Renters/homeowners BEWARE! I recently put in an application to rent a property with Nelson Rodriguez and was treated completely unprofessional. It was over a month ago and I still do not have a response. Multiple attempts to contact him from phone and e-mail have been ignored. Last I received a response (two weeks ago) he was talking to the owner, I understand if they decided on another renter but be a professional and respond! After reading the other reviews seems like we dodged a bullet! read more

I absolutely love how gracious and attentive the company is. Especially Stuart the Property Manager. The standard is set from the top down, and as a tenant you matter to them. The communication which is so important, is efficient. They answer concerns or questions in a timely fashion. I truly appreciate Stuart and the ClearStone management team their work ethic. read more

Our property manager, Stuart, does not hesitate to address any concerns or questions that we might have. We experienced a water leakage and Stuart was very responsive in having it repaired. He takes the time to follow up with us and initiative to get things done. We are truly grateful to have him in our corner! read more

Great management company! As a tenant, I'm very happy with the relationship this company and my family has! Stuart is a very efficient manager!! Makes sure everything is up to par and working properly! Always friendly and reliable! read more

Amazing!!! Safety is definitely Number one. They always show up with masks and they are very aware of and practice their social distancing. They are very friendly. They took really good care of me as a client. They're communication skills were amazing. Very professional very prompt and always on time. I really appreciated having them as Property Management while I rented. I highly recommend them! read more

By far thee worst property management company I have ever dealt with. Stay away from these scammers. Yes they were good at collecting the rent but when it came down to recouping the funds for back rent and damages to my rental unit. They were horrible! I would email Nelson and Sergio on a regular basis for updates and all I got was "we're trying" this went on for months. Then towards the end they came up with "we lost contact of the tenant" so we can't do anything else. I then looked up the tenant online and found out that she was working at a property management company in Bakersfield. I'm sure it was just a coincidence but I sent them the name of the place and the address. Nelson told me that he did all he could do and she was sent to collections. When I called the collection company I was told that they were not aware of clearstone sending them the tenants name. What a useless property management company! Stay away! read more

Updating to 5 stars because the Clearstone team came through with shining colors. I now have an excellent tenant. Clearstone is thorough, available, very professional and they help you navigate terms on the lease and do their best to get you the best deal. I couldn't ask for more and couldn't be happier with the result of using them. read more

Called to view an apartment in LA. You would think that they would be flexible in showing an apartment after 5 p.m. or on weekends, but no, they want to show it during the day. I guess they want to rent to people who don't work for a living. Never had an issue trying to see an apartment after 5 p.m. with other places. read more

Me and my fiancee bought a house that was being managed by ClearStone Property Management on behalf of it's owners. The experience was good, the house was is GREAT shape, all the (small) repairs were handled quickly before the purchase, and everything went well. Almost a month into owning the house, there have been no surprises and no issues discovered. Highly recommend working with Sergio, of ClearStone Property Management, who was the seller's agent in our transaction. read more

They are very unprofessional especially there bridgeport office the girl behind the counter really tried it happy me communicating for 2 weeks with her about an apartment for me to bring in the money order and everything to tell me in person the apartment has been rented when she could of been communicated that with me ! She needs to check her attitude because I won't be so nice next time and I mean that ! read more

I rented a duplex through Real Property Mgmt/Clearstone Property Mgmt for the last 3.5 years. One thing I loved about this mgmt/our owner was they they overlooked the bad credit report in lieu of our income. Our deposit was hefty (first month, last month, and deposit) but that was worth it to get the place we wanted. The first year was very rough as we received little to no support against our neighbor (also under same mgmt) who had over 8 people living in a 2-bedroom space, constantly fighting, had police/arrests almost every week, breaking windows, just overall terrible! Property mgmt said they couldn't do anything unless we filed a police report and when we tried to file a report (like when the other tenants were urinating on our front door), the Van Nuys police stated they could not come out due to the LA riots at that time. After a year, the tenants were evicted and new neighbors moved in. When we moved in, we were told the unit had central air... but came to find there was only a heater so when we asked for a/c, the owners/mgmt only agreed to install a window unit in the living room, which meant we moved our entire bedroom into the living room for 3 SUMMERS IN A ROW and didn't even use the two bedrooms we were paying for. That was beyond inconvenient. The owner/mgmt also installed grass when we requested, but the gardening service failed to show up consistently and they constantly mowed over the sprinklers causing them to break and then wouldn't repair them, thus leading to useless dead grass. Since then, the only challenge we had was with plumbing and servicing the plumbing. Twice we came home to our toilet, sink, and bathtub overflowing onto the floor with a mud-like substance. Both issues were in the middle of the night and although the mgmt has a 24-hour maintenance line, they prefer to use "their vendors" - instead of professionals. I actually received a call from a "plumber" stating, "Hey, I can't come fix your plumbing right now because I'm kind of busy..." -with screaming children in the background. Clearly not a Roto Rooter technician or professional of any sort. I don't even know why he was calling me! I told our contact (Nelson) that we would call a professional and charge the company if he didn't because leaving over-flowing excrement is UNACCEPTABLE and will ruin the floors and walls leading to more repairs. Eventually, a professional was called but unfortunately he said it was due to a main break under the house (which wasn't fixed). At the end, we did maintain the property - replacing light bulbs, patching nail holes, and polishing the hardwood floor and despite reading other reviews where tenants did not receive their deposits back, we did!! Our deposit was $1700 and we received $1620 back ($80 charge for deep cleaning) AND they purchased our refrigerator and washer/dryer from us for an additional $100 ($1720 total). Their online portal for tenants is also helpful and is great for maintaining records. I would rent from Clearstone Property Mgmt again. read more

RPM is helping me manage a condo. The prior agent were unresponsive and even missed a moving appointment (woke up late and I had to pay extra hour of moving charge because movers were waiting outside). When I noticed the company made an error and missed one month of rent, I took the time and carefully explained the error they made. However, the management basically decided to stonewall until I spoke to my lawyer and threatened to take them to court. Funny how they repaid my rent immediately after that. The next agent that got assigned to me was equally incompetent. To this day, I am still missing at least two months of rent. In addition, I noticed more than 6 months of statement does not match the deposit. It's been about 4 months since they have been looking into the issue and they still couldn't figure out what happened. I think I may have to speak to my lawyer again before anything gets done. read more

I was tenant,, where Clearstoner Property Management was managing, I had terrible experience when I moved out. I just lived in the condo for 5 months, they charged me for painting the unit, initiall they told only touchup painting. Since they have huge security deposit they withhold unreasonable amount of your security deposit. They expect you to file small claims court to get back the money, they do not respond to your e-mails. Think twice before you sign lease with them... read more

Sergio, Sergio, Sergio! I wanted to write a review for this guy for his superb service. Sergio has been great to deal with, professional and prompt. Also, besides his professionalism, he was also caring which is a characteristic that people sometimes lack. If you're looking for the right person to go to handle finding your new special place, I recommend going straight to, Sergio. I'm still working with Sergio, and through to the end of our lease, I know he'll take care of my husband and I. So, that to me is very reassuring! Thank you for your superb service and efficiency Sergio.. You rock! read more

This is without a doubt the worst landlord I have ever had. The company takes literally months to respond to service requests for broken items at the property. Often they promise to do something and just never do it at all. The company has failed to live up to the terms of the lease by providing the items listed in the lease that it says are included in the rent. We now know that it was actually illegal for them to rent the house in the first place because of numerous building code violations regarding safety. And when the house was infested with rats due to its interiors being inadequately sealed from the outside, the company neglected to follow the exterminators' instructions, which perpetuated the infestation. Employees are incompetent and untruthful; they have violated the terms of the lease; basic principles of human decency; and the law (numerous times). We are now suing them. read more

Ok, so they've redeemed themselves somewhat. Still slow to respond to calls and emails, but they have sent people over to fix things. Just wish they'd give me more than an hour's notice. Luckily, I was home that day and could accommodate. read more

I was looking for a property manager for years, kept hiring and firing useless people, when a friend recommended clearstone to me. Right off the bat they impressed me, great service, good prices and someone with common sense. They are exactly what landlords need. I signed the deal and smooth sailing from there, no bs no excuses just results, I recommend them to all my associates and always get great feedback read more

I rent one of the houses, and i dont normally call in for stuff but if i ever have a problem with the house Nelson takes care of it great property management read more

Clearstone Property Management is a very professional company who treats their clients rhe way I wish all companies did. I rented from them for 2 years and rate the experience grade A. I have rented properties from atleast 10 companies over my lifetime and have never had a better experience as a tenant. Repairs were attended to promptly and Nelson the manager was always available if any matter needed to be addressed. If you are considering Clearstone as a tenant or a property manager look no farther as you will not find a better company to work with!! read more
