Hands down,…read morethe JRealty team was the most enjoyable to work with, and inevitably where we've chosen to make our next home. We visited 2 communities, contacted the corporate office several times, and ran through the application process as well. Dylan is stellar-- by far the easiest person I've worked with from application to approval. He is extremely prompt, diligent, kind and knowledgeable. We were showed homes by Bruce and Daniel who were both wonderful as well. Definitely experts on their respective properties and genuinely care about their communities and residents. It's apparent JRealty is fair, and quality in the scheme of landlord of the South Bay. Highly recommend based on our experience so far.

I've spent 6 months trying to resolve a parking issue at one of JRealty's properties, and the…read moreexperience has been incredibly frustrating. Management admitted in writing that another tenant was given a second parking space in error on their lease. They also admitted they recommended removing that space because it was causing problems. The vehicle associated with this improperly assigned parking space occupies an area that is not identified as a parking spot on the parking map that was provided to me by management. Instead of being parked in a designated space, the vehicle extends into the common driving and maneuvering area tenants must use to access their assigned parking spaces causing daily risk damage to my vehicle. Whats even more revealing about this company is how the issue was handled! I repeatedly raised concerns that the parking arrangement could present code, safety, or fire access issues. Rather than addressing the problem directly, I was told management was waiting on city inspection results and that those results could affect the outcome. Months later, I was informed that the inspection they had me waiting for was actually a habitability inspection and that the specific parking location I had been complaining about was not one of the spaces that was evaluated. Think about that! I was led to believe the inspection would address my complaint, only to later find out that the disputed parking space had never been reviewed at all. I spent months waiting for inspection results that never actually addressed the parking issue at the center of the dispute. Even after admitting the parking space was assigned in error, admitting the situation was problematic, and acknowledging that the disputed space wasn't evaluated during the inspection, management still has not provided a meaningful solution. I have attached screenshots of the emails so people can read the correspondence and draw their own conclusions. Based on my experience, get everything in writing. Keep every email, save every photograph, and document every interaction. The only reason I was able to uncover the inconsistencies in management's explanations was because I maintained a complete paper trail. Without it, this would have been reduced to my word against theirs.

If there was ever a maintenance issue, it was resolved either the same day or very next at the latest. Believe it or not I looked forward to dropping off my rent check because she and I would always talk for a few min about families, holidays etc. I moved out of the property due to the need for a bigger space.

Whenever I made a request for something that…read moreneeded to be fixed, it was done in the cheapest way possible by a "handyman" that did a far worse job than I could do. Im a pretty handy person, but I was still very disappointed in the job they did. It was almost always a "band aid" solution and not spending actual money to just get it done right the first time. Even when the job was done, it wasnt very professional and nobody from the management company came to inspect any job being done, which if they saw in person, would not likely approve of. There were times where the job left the house in a mess, dust everywhere, and when provided evidence photos, they made us hire someone to clean it for something that wasnt even our fault. When heavy machinery was used ( always on for almost two weeks straight) and provided evidence of over $200 of electricity bill increases, they made me pay for it. The people in the office are nice, I just think they need to do a better job of the operational processes and spend money on decent workers to get the job done right the first time so people dont need to keep coming back. This was a nightmare, I would highly recommend not renting from this property.

In 2023, I got a hard money loan with RTI. A gentleman named Tom claimed they did all the funding…read morein-house. This loan dragged on for months and was funded by 10+ individuals. It took weeks for everyone's wires to get sent in. Tom stated several times that all of RTI loans are funded quickly, as it's all in-house. Not the case. Then they had me include two properties I own as collateral for a $ 650,000 loan. Just one property had 1.5 million in equity! Tom claimed to have driven by both properties and knows real estate after 20+ years in the business, and valued one property almost a full million under what I sold for 6 months after the loan. This guy is full of it. Huge loan origin fees, non-replies, and lack of knowledge are just the beginning of the shit show dealing with RTI. I have had the loan paid off for over a year and a half, and after numerous attempts to contact RTI, I am still unable to get them to remove RTI from the deed and have my new grant deed issued. Avoid RTI at all costs.

I had the great fortune of choosing Rodman Amiri to represent me in purchasing my home in Newport…read moreCoast. Rodman is a true professional. He leaves nothing to chance by handling every aspect of the transaction himself never delegating a thing. His attention to detail is remarkable. He read through every document that was sent to us even the lengthy HOA documents. He caught an error on title that no one else saw. He also worked diligently with insurance providers to get me insured in time despite our short escrow. As a high value property in a fire risk zone this was a remarkable feat as anyone familiar with California home insurance can attest to. Rodman takes great pride in his work and knows how to negotiate the best deal possible while keeping both parties on good terms. He knew how to address each party's concerns in a calm manner that was reassuring to everyone involved. Attached is a photo of myself on the left and the seller on the right on closing day. As you can see, we both walked away from the deal very happy and I credit that 100% to Rodman's exceptional professionalism. I look forward to working with Rodman again when the time comes. Thanks for everything Rodman! You're the best!

There was one instance where they actually lost a check that was automatically mailed to them by our bank and they didn't tell us for 4 months--little awkward to get a phone call from the owner about why we didn't pay our rent due to their error. Never apologized for it, but whatever. Mistakes happen. 2) Got entire deposit back, minus $50 after living at the apartment for 2ish years. I feel like it was okay, although I do think we took SUCH good care of the place so I would have appreciated the full deposit back. I also had to bug them a couple times about it. 3) The building/apartment itself had a lot of issues...they couldn't really address them because the owner didn't want to. So that kind of sucked, but I can't hold that against them. Advice if you're a tenant here: 1) Send emails; keep everything in writing. Follow up. Be courteous and professional. Keep things documented just to cover your own butt.

Julie was our first introduction to Jamico, and gave us the tour of the apartment we ended up going with! She was awesome, always reliable, patient, and responsive (we were especially worried because we had never rented before and were a little nervous about all the paperwork lol). We've heard lots of horror stories about management companies, but I'd say Jamico is far from a horror story waiting to happen LOL - quite the opposite! We lived in a pretty old building (over 100+ years old, so beautiful and unique), so there were bound to be times where we needed to schedule maintenance. Anytime we submit a request, it was responded to in a timely manner (never more than 24 hrs without a response tbh), and the maintenance crew was super awesome, quick, and friendly!! Our move-out inspection with Todd was easy to schedule (they were SUPER flexible with time which we greatly appreciated because we didn't have much time to meet...), and it went by super quick. One thing we also really appreciated was that he asked us how our year was at the property, and was genuinely curious about our feedback and opinion. Overall, great management company from the tour to move-in to move-out. Never once did we feel cheated or disappointed with service or process. Thank you guys!!!!
