    CPV has been our HOA's management company for a few years, and we are so happy. Before CPV, we went…read morethrough multiple companies, and were always disappointed. CPV is the first company that delivers on every front, and their staff is so kind. Our manager, Aaron L., is exceptional. He is very knowledgable, experienced, resourceful, efficient, proactive, responsive, and a pleasure to work with. Their fee is quite fair and competitive. Personal, competent, consistent service. Highly recommend CPV!

I complained about people parking in front or by my home and I was told to go hunting for where they lived so they can address the fine. I received a current violation without warnings. They stated I received two courtesy letters which we never received. The letter received already assessed a fine. Our neighbors and neighborhood doesn't follow any of our guidelines. People still park in the streets and by our house all the time. Trash cans never get put in back yards and stay in front of peoples homes. Garages are still used for living spaces . I got a fine for tree branches hitting our home. 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.

    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.

    This is my second time leaving this company a bad review. The gas to my rental was cut off because…read morethe of my neighbor, when I called the people at Mark Browers they agreed it was ridiculous, I didn't receive a call back, so I called them back, and I was told their hands were tied. So they had an answer waiting for me I just wasn't important enough to call back. There are planning to leave me without Gas for over a week meaning I have no heat in the lows of 45 degree weather, can't do any laundry, can't cook any food, don't have any hot water. This is how they will leave you if you rent from them. Save yourself the trouble and find literally any other company. I've since asked for a rent reduction for the days I won't be able to live in the home, but as usual like every other time I call or email, I have no gotten a response.

    Kaila Videla is the new property manager for my rental home managed by Fort Lowell Realty. She is…read morethe 3rd PM in three years, effective July 2026. She immediately "sprung into action" by asserting her authority, harassing and blaming the tenant for decisions that were made by the former property manager. I've had an open dialogue with the home owner and the former PM about my financial difficulties. The owner and former PM had graciously made concessions to work with me and had verbally and in writing agreed to waive the 5-day notice fee and late fees. They're aware I'm a domestic violence survivor. Additionally, the former PM did not enforce or collect the late fees for months. This pattern of failing to enforce the fees created a waiver or modified acceptance of the lease. I understand it was an inconvenience to the owner and the PM, but I was grateful for the assistance. All parties involved are aware that this is the rental home I moved to, post-divorce after my ex-husband had me removed from our marital home in an illegal manner. The threat of homelessness is a very real and terrifying repercussion that most survivors have had to endure while married and after. I'm working hard to build my life back up, but the process can be slow. I explained to Kaila Videla that she could not enforce and retroactively charge the late fees and that going forward she would have to enforce the terms of the lease regarding fees. I'm also a licensed realtor and am familiar with the Landlord Tenant Act as all realtors who work in property management should be. I tried to communicate in writing, verbally and via text to Kaila Videla. She was callous, uncaring and adamant in her pursuit to collect fees. It was unusual and appeared to be a personal vendetta for her, for whatever reason. I asked to speak to Fort Lowell's attorneys because I was going to communicate and share all of the text messages and emails the owner and former PM had sent. As a compromise, I asked Kaila to take the fees from my $2,400 security deposit because I needed her to cease harassing me with actions that I knew were unlawful. She then turned off my ability to pay the remainder of July's rent. Then I couldn't pay August rent. I attempted to communicate with her and work something out. By the end of August, the owner had waited over 50 days for a rent payment. Then I received a complaint from the courts with a court date within the next 3 business days. Kaila, Fort Lowell and their attorneys had combined 12 months of late fees, past due rent, attorney's fees, court fees for a sum of around $6,700 and more. That did not include September's rent which was quickly becoming due in days. I was in a state of panic and had no choice, but to retain an attorney. He looked at the complaint and immediately questioned the $6,700 in charges. "How much is your rent?" I told him that was a sum including retroactive late charges. It took 30 seconds before he said, "They're trying to be sneaky, this judge caps late fees at $300." Fort Lowell was trying to charge me almost 6x that amount in fees. I was so grateful for my attorney, but Fort Lowell, Kaila and their attorneys still pressed me to compromise. I just needed it to be over. I was so stressed out, the thought of homeless, I was scared for me and my two dogs. My lease is up 11/30/26. They tried to get me to agree to vacate 9/30, giving me less than 30 days to find a new place and move in a frenzy. I compromised by agreeing to move by 10/31/26 only because I was intimidated and my nervous system could not withstand much more. In the end, I paid Fort Lowell zero dollars in late fees. The homeowner had to wait over 60 days for a rent payment. I'm not sure how he continues to have faith in their services. I was penalized by having to vacate the lease early because of the actions and decisions of their employees. Taking me to court was nothing more than an exercise in more trauma initiated by Kaila Videla. Kaila is a newly licensed realtor. I would tread lightly and strongly caution against appearing biased or discriminatory. I still do not understand her relentless pursuit of the late fees, but I do take pause being that I am a woman of color. As a licensed realtor we are held at a higher standard. Perhaps brush up with another fair housing course, Kaila. Statistically, most domestic violence survivors lack family support and resources. That is my situation, also. I'm grateful for my attorney and hope we have all learned something.

    Absolutely the WORST mgmt company EVER. I live in Ahwatukee... they will promise you ANYTHING just…read moreto get you to move in. Prior to move in we made a list of 22 items requiring repair including a large dent in our stainless steel refrigerator. We submitted a list via email and were told we would be contacted in a week by maintenance to take care of our problems. Six phone calls and 2 months later maintenance arrived... NOT to fix the items ... just to meet. Another 2 months and 10+ calls and maintenance arrived. We were then told some of these items were "cosmetic" (like our fridge). Other examples: the gate lock to our pool was frozen... took 3 mos to get repaired. Memorial day weekend the only access we had was if we got a child to climb over the gate. IH has paid informant living on-sight. They routinely serve you violation notices for minor infractions. The worst is vehicles that are violating parking. They will RANDOMLY give multiple tenants notices that their car is illegally parked ... the SAME notice goes out to numerous individuals for the SAME violation. Neighbors talk. One day four of us held the SAME parking violation notices. The craziest thing was no mailbox access for months. We were told by invitation homes we had to contact the post office to obtain a mailbox key... so we did again and again, for months we picked up our mail from the post office. Finally we got the PO Manager to DRIVE to drive to our place and open the bulk mailboxes. Written on the inside was "NON POSTAL". After 3 months of picking up our mail at the post office we were now back to square 1. At the postal managers suggestion ... I purchased a new lock and now we finally can get our mail. Had I not taken the initiative we'd still be picking up our mail. Turnover at IH is atrocious. You never talk to the same person. Do your best to lease at any other development than one managed by IH. We are stuck in a lease for another 15 mos.

    Spectrum has managed our community since 2020, which consists of just 256 homes in Peoria. Given…read moreour small size and limited common areas, our management needs should be relatively straightforward. However, I feel this warrants a response from Spectrum or a representative regarding two main concerns. 1. High Turnover Rate of Community Managers We have had a different community manager every year for the past six years. This alarming turnover raises questions about the company's stability and management practices: What is causing such a high turnover rate? How can we expect effective management and continuity when we constantly change leadership? 2. Poor Accessibility to Management It is frustrating that it is difficult to contact Spectrum Management. I have noticed the following issues: There is no phone number listed on the general Spectrum website or the homeowner portal. The "Contact Us" section offers only three options: email, FAQs, and schedule a call. This situation makes it challenging for homeowners to voice concerns or seek assistance swiftly. After about 32 minutes on hold, I finally reached a representative, from San Antonio, through a local number I found on Google. This is far from acceptable for a professional management company. I am writing this as a review in hopes of getting a response, as I do see many replies to comments.

Marsha, the original owner, Dennis, the current broker-in-charge, and their entire staff have conducted business with honesty and integrity. They have always been quick to communicate/resolve issues (repairs, tenant/HOA concerns etc.) in order to maintain the good condition of our properties.

We rented with them for 1 year, We had a few repairs that they needed to fix and while they were responsive, WE PAID for all of them. The most recent problem is that when we have moved out they sent us a charged for $325 for cleaning the apartment (it was a two bedroom apartment that was CLEAN!). They claim that since we forgot some stuff in a cabinet and the vents were no spotless they had to clean it again, It would have taken a cleaner 10 minutes to do what they claim we missed. Before we left paid for the carpet and tiles to be professionally clean and that was NOT ENOUGH, they had to hire somebody to charge $325 for cleaning 2 sports! Also they sent us an invoice from a cleaning company, I called the number and the lady told me SHE DID NOT CLEAN OR GENERATED THAT INVOICE. Dealing with them is a nightmare. Out of our $2000 deposit they took $400+ with vague charges, like the cleaning and "Tenant Charge" for $75. I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH, DO NOT RENT FROM THERE IF YOU CAN AVOID IT!
