    Shower leaks all over the floor.

    This was a horrible experience for myself and my family, largely due to Jen, from the property management company. I read the other reviews and noted that everyone commented on how clean the house was, however that was not the case for us. The floor was filthy and had food on the floor behind the table, the dishes were dirty, the blinds in one room were broken so unless you wanted to be up with the sun, the room was unusable. 2 showers leaked water as the molding was broken...Worst of all was the ants all over the kitchen floor and spiders in one bedroom. We could not walk barefoot because of how many there were. Yes, we took pictures of all the issues and sent it to management. They did offer to spray for ants, however there was no non-toxic options and I did not want my family, which includes 3 young children, breathing that in. We just kept killing them. There was no offer to clean the home, fix the broken items or refund the greater than $500.00 cleaning fee, given that we spent hours having to clean the home and rid it of bugs. We even have picture of the bites. All Jen would say was that this would be resolved for the next renter, which does US no good. She also incorrectly stated that we refused to let them fix these issues, which is a lie. Landscapers were there for hours one of the days, the jacuzzi maintenance company was there one of the days. The only refusal was for a toxic ant spray. She was highly unhelpful, borderline rude and arrogant and clearly has no concern for how the renters experience is. The home is a beautiful property, however was not prepared for our arrival at all, despite booking weeks in advance. We were even given the wrong code to enter. The entire experience was stressful and the attitude and response from Jen is what made it that much worse. I will be sure to avoid any property managed by this company in the future.

    08.23.24: Had to repost this review for Yelp (or the business owner) had/took it down. I guess it's a hard read for Elite Vacation Rentals. Beware before you reserve. 08.19.24: This review is for Stefanie Marie Gould. She is manager realtor with Elite Vacation Rentals and she is unreasonable and unprofessional. We requested four night stay at a property close to our home since our A/C was out, and being replaced. The replacement was quicker than we thought and we checked out two days early. I messaged Stefanie that we would be checking out, and instead of professionally assisting her guests, she just thanked me. This is when I realized how greedy Stefanie Marie Gould is. She refused to budge from her policy and therefore became greedy for money. She could have simply said, "don't forget to email AirBnB for the refund", but she ignores her customers when it comes to that. Be warned before any reservation for Stefanie Marie Gould. There are plenty of places in Chandler other than Elite Vacation Rentals that will assist their guest with optimal service. See her profile and how she lies about who she is. Lastly, Stefanie Marie Gould will most likely reply and thank me for the "insightful" review and how she can learn from it, and it will almost be negative too. Look at her reply's in the other reviews. She is greedy and flippant. Reserve on our own risk!!

    What an amazing pool.

    My family and some friends had an amazing time. This is the second year in a row we have used EVR. Both experiences were top notch. The houses were really clean and the ease of booking and the instructions are simple. We highly recommend!

    My husband and I rented a cabin (The Lavender Cabin) in Pine AZ through Elite in December. The place was cute but had a number of issues that we addressed with Elite such as - 1) Dirty/old pots and pans 2) Broken toilet seats (I fixed one of them) 3) Backed-up/clogged shower (almost overflowing on the floor) 4) No extra toilet paper or paper towels 5) No cleaning products at all 6) Cobwebs all over the place 7) Needed a 4-wheel drive to get down to the property After 2 emails I finally got a response back stating........ ****Thank you very much for your insightful comments.**** Stefanie Gould - Elite Vacation Rentals by Arizona Elite Properties 2425 S Stearman Dr 120 Chandler, AZ 85286 480-447-9211 Info@elitevrs.com So much for customer service - what a joke!

    Our experience with this company was positive for most of our lease, but everything changed during…read morethe move-out process. The biggest issue was the lack of communication from our assigned property manager. On multiple occasions, I had to reach out several times before receiving a response, and I rarely received updates unless I continuously followed up. At one point, I was eventually told that their internet had been down, but it would have been helpful to know that earlier rather than having to call repeatedly wondering why I wasn't receiving a response. The handling of our security deposit was by far the most frustrating part of the entire experience. We were charged over $400 for carpet cleaning even though our property manager had specifically told us that we did not need to have the carpets professionally cleaned. We also had to dispute multiple other charges that we felt were unnecessary. We had taken very good care of the property and genuinely felt that we left the house in better condition than when we moved in. When we moved in, the backyard had weeds that were over a foot tall. During our tenancy, we maintained the property and kept the yard and home in great condition. It was extremely frustrating to feel like we were being nickel-and-dimed for every possible thing after we had been responsible tenants. After we continued fighting to get our money back, our property manager remained unhelpful and, in our experience, disrespectful. Eventually, she told me that if I disagreed with the charges, I would have to take the matter to court with the landlord. Thankfully, the landlord was much more understanding. He acknowledged that we had been great tenants and ultimately recognized that we should receive some of our deposit back. What was most disappointing was that we felt the property management company was not on our side throughout the process and made what should have been a straightforward move-out experience unnecessarily difficult. Overall, the property and our tenancy were good, but the way the move-out and security deposit were handled left a very negative impression. If you rent through this company, I would strongly recommend documenting everything from move-in through move-out, taking plenty of photos, keeping all communication, and being prepared to advocate for yourself when it comes to your security deposit. Our biggest issue wasn't even the fact that there were deductions--it was the lack of communication, the difficulty getting answers, and the way we were treated when we questioned charges we believed were unfair. After being good tenants and taking care of the property, we expected a much better experience when it came time to move out.

Then I asked them to do one thing: fix the autopay, the way every other company I've paid on a schedule for years has managed to. I went as far as contacting the payment provider myself. Their support answered almost immediately. Mosaic, copied on that same thread, never replied - not to the vendor, not to me. No troubleshooting, no follow-up, nothing. The most substantive thing I got from management was "what do you want from me." So I built the workaround myself: wait until the end of the month, when the portal finally displays the correct amount, then pay by hand - because their system won't show the right figure any earlier. That is the process a paying tenant has to run to avoid being fined for their software. I gave notice. Since then, silence. I'm 30 days from move-out with no checklist, no inspection notice, no communication of any kind. Their website tells property owners to expect "honest feedback, effective communication and timely follow through." Not one of those three reached me. If you're an investor, maybe your experience differs. If you're the person actually living in the house and paying the rent, you are not the customer here - you're overhead.

It can be frustrating and worrisome to be a property owner when you aren't anywhere nearby, but I had total trust in Brandon to take care of things. He led a few renovation projects for me and was always able to get good tenants in quickly. When it came time for me to sell the place recently, I turned to Brandon, who is also a real estate agent. He again managed some reno projects to freshen up the place for sale -- all without me having to come to AZ. The townhouse sold within a week of it going on the market at a very good price, better than I'd hoped. I had to pay a commission for Brandon's services as a real estate agent and an additional commission to Apartment Hunters, since he was working in that capacity. It was a little pricey but I felt it was well worth it for me to have peace of mind and not have to worry about doing any of the prep work myself. I'd recommend Brandon to anyone in the Phoenix/East Valley area needing property management services or real estate services.

    We were really interested in a property here in Gilbert, it's been on the market for over 64 days…read more I had filled out a form thru this particular companies on-line link to tour this home. Through the prompts and towards the end of my process, it requested me to provide my credit card as verification, so I opted out and x'ed out. Within seconds- I received a call from Raphael at Rosenbaum Reality Group. Talk about a "bait and switch"! LOL From this conversation I was able to book a tour (without payment) of the property that same day. I was provided the access code to enter with my family when we arrived to the address. It had just rained, so we found many concerns from that alone. This was an older home with zero upgrades, back yard needed some landscaping done, front entry needed the bird poop & cobwebs removed. The deck off the Master Bedroom had some wood rot (probably from rain water settling in those areas) and had portions where it was extremely unstable. NOT SAFE!! That said, the view from the home is what you are paying for bottom line! We thought additional work would have to go into cleaning & questioned that as the renters. Would we have been responsible for additional tidying up at move-in as this home was seemingly being rented "as is"?! I addressed these concerns with Raphael and proposed a bid at $2,800 a month to the owner. The owner countered back with still a price range that was to high (for the conditions of the home) and not in our budget especially with ALL the additional expenses this property management company charges. Administrations Fee- These property management companies can charge a 1.9% to 3.3% MONTHLY administrative fee! Plus, a renters "benefit package" that's mandatory and another $75 dollars MORE a month along with the one time admin fee of $250 upon acceptance, that is also non refundable! *The Catch- With most of these shady Property Management Companies it seems fairly standards to tack on these ridiculous / bogus charges to make up for the loss when Arizona cities took away the residential rental taxes. So, that means property owners can no longer impose a tax on residential rentals after December 31, 2024. Yet, this is how they're working around it to still suck that money out of the renter, by making it look legit and there's no option to opt out! They claim they have a $350 redecorating fee?! That's just a fancy term for a cleaning fee, which clearly they don't clean prior to you touring and or when you rent! So, are they actually doing this prior to move in or just keeping your money and calling it something it's not?! You decide based off touring their rentals! *Important Note- Standard Deposit ( if you get any money back at the end of your lease, this can be used toward the purchase of a home specifically the closing costs. Just not the one you're leaving or any of their other rental properties! They have an enrollment choice (do not do this) which is cheaper. However, it's prorated with an additional percentage that is added and divided by your 12 month lease. It's almost $900 more annually! You do not get these funds back at all-ZERO. I suggest you stay far away from dealing with this incompetent liaison agency and best of luck in your rental house hunting.

I've never written a negative review before, but this one is well deserved. We initially secured the condo via a signed contract back in 03/25 directly with the landlords after we toured the property and were assured the place would be fully furnished when we moved in on 01/12/2026. A few days before we were due to travel to AZ, I got a call from a property manager (Andrea Robidoux) who works for Fort Lowell telling us that she would managing the lease. I didn't think much of it at,the time, but right off the start, I had to pay a $50 background check fee that I didn't plan on given that I already had a signed contract, then I had to correct several items in the lease agreement including the correct exit date of 04/12/26, which I was told (by Andrea) that I had to accept 04/30/26 (even tho the original contract clearly states 04/12/26) and that any remaining days not used would be refunded but only to find out AFTER the fact (when I called Fort Lowell directly) that I would held liable for the entire month of April even if I gave a 30 day notice and left on the 12th of April. The real problems started when we met Andrea at the property on the scheduled move-in date. That's when we realized that this was Andrea's first time actually seeing the condo (we know this because she told us so and we had to direct her by phone where to go when she arrived at the complex). When we all walked into the condo, there was a VERY nasty odor (more of a stench) that can be smelled before you even enter the front door (it was so bad that Andrea had an asthma attack and had to go out to the balcony for some fresh air to finally breath normally). Then we saw all the obvious issues such as carpet stains, the dirt everywhere, the dust accumulation on all the windows/blinds, ceiling fans, fixtures, etc.. After Andrea left (without going over anything in the condo and without providing any documentation such as an emergency contact list, association Bylaws, move-in check list, etc.), we began to notice many more issues such as Clothes dryer not working properly (exhaust vent blocked), refrigerator ice maker not working, dishwasher drawer broken, fireplace not working, HVAC making LOUD noises and not working properly, the only couch was heavily stained from grease/dirt, tiles in both showers were stained black from grease/dirt, leaking kitchen faucet, cracked bathroom sink, stains and hair on bed headboard, broken vacuum cleaner, only 1 working smoke detector and none in the bedrooms (against code), anything that can be touched in the kitchen was sticky & very greasy, major dirt under all the beds & around night stands, trash in the garage, etc... Additionally, there were many missing essentials such as absolutely no started toilet paper, napkins, cleaning supplies, no complete sets of dishes/glasses, no bathroom waste baskets, no salt/pepper shakers, no broom/dust pan, no mop/pail, visible stains on some of the bed sheets and all pillows had stains and nasty odor, no mattress protectors or mattress pads or pillow protectors (disgusting and against code), no working vacuum, etc.. We contacted Andrea and she advised us and even encouraged us to go and purchase what ever we needed that was missing including a vacuum and assured us that we would reimbursed so we purchased only the necessities and we spent the next 4 days cleaning the place only to be told afterwards that we will NOT be reimbursed for the $200 vacuum and the response I got from Andrea was "it's not my vacuum". We have caught Andrea on many occasions either blatantly lying to us or she is REALLY forgetful because she's managing so many properties and can't keep track (I believe it's it a little of both scenarios) I even scheduled a meeting with Andrea and the landlords to review all the issues and request that they refund the cost of the vacuum, remove the $350 cleaning fee since we actually did most of the cleaning and provide a small reasonable reduction of the monthly rent because the property was not what was originally agreed upon, but they refused all of it. There were many, many more issues not mentioned here (all fully documented), but bottom line, Andrea (and Fort Lowell Management) didn't do diligence by verifying condition of condo prior to accepting to manage this property which resulted in us dealing with major issues in what was supposed to be our vacation time. Stay as far away from this company and specifically Andrea Robidoux. Additionally stay away from any properties owned by WILLOUGHBY INVESTMENTS AND SERVICES, LLC (landlords).

    Good afternoon Lee…read more... I just now was able to get to my mailbox and to my displeasure I saw the deposit check from you guys. I guess I am just shocked to see the amount. I'm not saying there shouldn't have been any money deducted, but I don't feel like we left the home in that horrible of shape. We were there for 3+ years. You hardly heard from us. We were good renters. We even paid rent each month in full amount even though we weren't working due to Covid. We had no issues with anything about the house or BCH. We cleaned the carpets yearly. We went above and beyond to keep the house our home. The reason we decided to leave is to downsize and to give my daughter a backyard. I feel like since we gave our 30 day notice, we weren't important to you at all. Our refrigerator went out on a Saturday, sent a maintenance issue that night, and did not get a response til Monday afternoon. Then finally someone came out on Wednesday stating we need a new fridge ( like no crap). I feel like we weren't a priority and getting us a fridge was not a priority to you at all. I feel like you just shrugged it off because we were leaving. We also lost $250 of food because of your lack of urgency. I don't feel like as renters or people we deserved to be treated that way. To be honest this has been eating at me for awhile now. Yes..... seeing the amount of refund was a shock to me and the amount provoked me to write this email, but as I am writing this, I am more pissed off about how we were treated at the end of the month than anything else. Better Choice Homes will never be seen to me as a good company in my eyes. This company we rent from now is far more superior than you all are. Sincerely, Mark Gottschalk and Mindee Lee *** We will make sure anyone we know would never use this company to rent from.

For a company that prides in customer service has ineffective communication with home owners who actually follow the rules but there are homeowners that continue to have non maintanced yards and trash bins in front of their yard.
