I have rented from Bright Properties twice, on the two different occasions that I lived in Tucson…read moreand I have been happy with both the apartments and the staff. I've really enjoyed working with Tricia. She was always responsive to any maintenance requests and any other concerns that I had. Of course, I haven't seen all of Bright's apartments that they rent, but the two different complexes that I lived in were very modern, clean, the appliances were newer and functioned well and I felt safe in the areas that my apartments were located in. Being relatively close to the UA campus is a plus! When I rented the first time with Bright, I was concerned about renting from a property mgmt company as I found that most property mgmt companies did not have good reviews. But Bright did not disappoint... they are an excellent property mgmt company and I'd highly recommend them. If it were not for having to relocate to another state, I'd still be renting from Bright.

Moving from out of…read morestate, I checked Yelp to find a recommended realtor to show me homes during my trip to Tucson. I contacted a top pick but did not have an experience that was anything similar to the reviews. I had one afternoon left and contacted Marilyn the day prior. She gave me the entire afternoon showing me homes in my price range and the area I chose. She has construction experience and was able to point out concerns in these homes. Once the home was chosen she advised us every step of the way. She made herself available to answer numerous questions very quickly. And she managed the many negotiations with ease. Marilyn is extremely generous. Her family has been in this business for her entire life and she really knows Tucson. In future I will look to those single 5 star reviews as I've found that the number of positive reviews does not always mean the best service.

Failed to mention any of this or the fact that the military base runs airplane missions at least 5 days a week at varying hours and as early ad 4/5AM. Through her advice on the move in inspection, ended up costing me several thousand dollars. Stating that the rental companies "are only looking for the big stuff and not concerned with small details inside or outside the building". What a mistake listening to this would be. I would then go on to be nickle and dimed by the property management company which i ultimately had to be liable for due to not documenting the conditions of the property correctly on move in. Why would anyone pay a service to learn the same lessons as if i hadn't been provided or paid for this service? Could not be dissatisfied more.

Best Realtor in Tucson!…read more Tony Ray Baker and Darren Jones Real Estate Team are the BEST realtor in Tucson, well actually the best realtors for many reasons and I can tell you why. As a past client of theirs and now a friend I have the inside scoop. I found them when I was searching online for a property in the downtown/ UofA area. I didn't know who to work with but I had a few ideas in mind about the kind of person I wanted to work with. Someone who was online savvy and hip with technology was a priority. None of these dated realtors, these part-time realtors or new agents just starting out. I really wanted someone who was in the know and knew what they were doing. I kept my eye out for Tucson realtors with a web presence as I was trying to find the best realtor in Tucson based on the kind of property I wanted, in the specific area I wanted to live. In my case was lofts dwellings in downtown Tucson. I found Tony Ray & Darren through their website, SeeTucsonLofts.com. I really wanted a loft and I could tell they were the loft guys in town by reading through their site. I discovered they had an impressive web presence that connects and contributes to Tucson's community which allowed me to see the kind of people they are so I gave them a call. Being tech savvy is important for networking, advertising, photographing and videoing properties--all skills that you want in someone selling your home or helping you to find one. After getting to know them better, I discovered they have over 25 years of experience in real estate but you'd never think it because of how fun, hip, and youthful they are. Coolness is awesome but experience is key. There can be many rules, paperwork verbiage and different obstacles to understand and overcome throughout the process. One mistake or oversight could really cost you. Having someone who will go bat for you in an extenuating circumstances is everything.

I received a postcard in the mail from Tony Ray Baker of Tierra Antigua Realty advising me it is…read moreurgent I contact him immediately so they can make an offer on my home and CLOSE by November 29th.. I never contacted this company and I am not selling a home. They have my name and private address on both sides of a postcard. They do not even have the good sense or decency to send a personal letter in an envelope. Would you trust a company who does business in this manner? Am I now on a mailing list? Will I be contacted again and again with pressure to sell a property? They have a toll-free number on the card so when you call to request removal from their list, they will have the number you are calling from. Do not call with your mobile or your private number. They will then start calling you as well as sending more cards by snail mail. We receive so much spam each day and now we have a local business adding to it. Disgraceful. Be careful.

I first contacted Terry Bishop on the recommendation of a friend, who was also in search of a new…read morehome in the Tucson area. From the first phone call I had with Terry, she was warm, friendly and immensely helpful. I was planning to move to Southern Arizona from another state and it wasn't easy to find a home in Tucson while living elsewhere. After discussing my "must haves" with Terry in detail, she made it work by scouting out properties on my behalf, and then giving me the low down. I then checked them out online and made the decision if I wanted to see them or not. In addition, I also did my own online looking and gave Terry the information on the homes I thought wanted to see. Terry would give me immediate feedback on my choices and we would discuss and decide if the home was worth seeing during my limited visits to Tucson. During my 2-3 visits to Tucson to see properties, Terry and I had a list of homes to see and she maximized my time by showing me properties that we've already discussed at length and were serious contenders. Terry gave me her honest opinions and I grew to trust her insights into the different areas of Southern Arizona. After all, Terry is a 20 plus year resident of Tucson and has a pulse on the different areas, their pros and cons and reputations. This is very important yo know when moving to a new area. Terry also gave me encouragement when I was discouraged about the real estate market and had lost a couple of homes that I was interested in because I wasn't local to act quickly. Even though I am recently retired, I ended up not opting for a 55+ active adult community. I'm glad Terry had me explore this option so that I knew it wasn't for me. I ended up buying a townhouse in a development near the Catalina foothills and am very happy with my new home, my new community of neighbors (who happen to be mostly retired and extremely welcoming and friendly) and the majestic views I have of the mountain range. Thank you Terry Bishop. I would highly recommend using Terry for your real estate needs.

Having recently bought a new home in Tucson, I would credit Terry Bishop with a Best of the Best…read moreRealtors Award. Beginning seven months ago, prior to my physical move, Terry was the only realtor of several I approached who sent preliminary reading materials which familiarized me with the Tucson area, and they were immensely helpful, both in general and to my specific search. The search, itself, was a five-month endurance trial which Terry made pleasurable with her eager willingness to continue looking, her personal concern for my well-being after I made a decision, and her excellent listening skills, all which ultimately led us to my recent purchase. I'd been in Tucson numerous times before, yet I didn't know this town nearly as well as I thought. In June, several weeks before actually moving, Terry took extensive time to familiarize me with neighborhood options, their pros and cons, and their access to that which a retired, 70-year-old single would find essential as well as simply attractive. Even at my age, I was determined to be an urban re-gentrification pioneer, living amidst galleries, cafés and an exciting cultural environment, yet what I bought is firmly suburban, within a 55+ community, with access to a strong hospital network, every imaginable big box store, and the Starbucks which is in every Barnes & Noble, and I'll add that I am tremendously happy with my choice. Terry guided me with sensitivity, point-blank common sense, willingness to back up and head in a different direction, and unflagging determination to ensure my happiness, both now and in the future. Simultaneously, she was determined to address every detail which rises in the homebuying process, with access to plumbers and roofers as much as navigating the legal intricacies of a smooth closing. What sets Terry apart is her refined sense of the social, educational, geographical, and even political climate of the city in which I now live. She lends this to her clients. The result is finding the very best housing options one looks to a real estate agent for when one needs it most, yet knows least about, where and what that new home should be. I cannot praise her work enough. Terry is a paramount professional whose expertise provides know-how and sure-footed action at a time when uncertainty is the norm. The result is high satisfaction and peace of mind. During a "move", each of us wants these. And, to be sure, your very best resource is Terry Bishop!

One of the employee employees couldn't even prove who she said that she was because of the fact that she thought she was better than everybody and the service just outright, ignorant, petty and childish. They don't value their customers at all. They don't value their tenants. They don't value anything they value themselves and actually their main headquarters for this establishment is not even in Tucson. It's all the way in Texas look up who you really renting from and do your research first before even considering filling out a lease with these people they'll get you kicked out of your own house for any reason that they think it's necessary. It's not OK and it's not all right.

My experience proved renting from Acacia to be a nightmare. I had four outside security cameras…read more stolen, the lock on my storage shed in the carport cut clean and everything in the shed was trashed, I had loiters hanging out 24/7 as the property backed two hotel parking lots, my windows pried open, three vehicles deeply scratched/keyed while in the carport, weird people walking the alleys by my bedroom all hours of the night, yet Acacia had no interest in those issues, nor my safety, merely telling me to file police reports. That was nothing compared to their lack of empathy/accomodation in not allowing me a couple extra weeks after lease end to move even after paying the entire 12 month lease at $1150.00 month. I was in two major car accidents, lost my job and sustained back issues. They had no renters waiting for the property, yet still refused my request to pay for a couple extra weeks for moving purposes. Instead, they filed a Writ of Restitution two days after lease end while I was packing and had a UHaul, forced me pay for that extra month at $1150.00, plus as additional $1150 for "holdover rent" for that same month, plus its attorney's fees and costs after their attorney lied to the judge stating "Acacia would have accepted rent for that month" when I had email exhibits from Acacia stating otherwise. In addition, they kept my entire $1750.00 deposit after I cleaned for days and paid people to touch up paint, and help me move. Acacia nailed the coffin by listing an eviction and judgment on my record making it difficult for me to obtain rental housing. (After all these unjust events occurred, I filed a complaint with the AZ attorney general, who after reviewing my Complaint and related documents, advised me to file a judicial complaint against the company and the judge). Please note, Acacia is NOT in your corner, it merely tries to rack up charges against their tenants in an effort to increase their percentages obtained from the real property owners for managing their property. Bottom line - steer clear!!
