Rented a property from his team, had rats enter through a cabinet and eat through our food. Took them several weeks and calls/emails to deal with sealing off the hole in the wall and then when the guy finally cam out he did the sloppiest worst hole repair with a wire netting... with rats in the walls. When things began to heat up in April, a foul smell of dead rats and rat droppings began to erupt from underneath our kitchen cabinets. Our whole kitchen smelled terrible and our pots and pans began to pick up the door to the point we stopped storing them in the cabinets. I took me several months of emailing, calling, and texting before I had to go to the office and demand they do something or we will refuse to pay rent and sue as they were breaking the contract. Even called the Davis PD out to inspect but as the inspector started talking, it sounded like her pockets were getting lined by Mr. Zamora. My suspicions were confirmed when she refused to give me a write up of conditions to take to a lawyer. Seeing as Mr. Zamora is a man around town with city officials and the cops, my lawyer was unable to move forward with a case because I was never able to receive a condition of premises from the police. This guy, and his entire team are scum of the earth. Will definitely steal money from you with a smile and the cops will gladly help :)

As a tenant of this company for three years: beware of poor property management!…read more My housemates and I had a very challenging time getting in contact with our property manager, as they were unresponsive, terse, and unhelpful. Even after contacting management at the regional level, we continued to have very serious issues with management and lack of communication. We faced repairs of roof leaks, fences, and more that took months and during which we received no proactive communication or apologies. The whole time, our manager never once took ownership for their mistakes, and their boss did not hold them accountable either. Our rental with LYON was extremely frustrating and stressful as tenants, and I hope no one else has to have the same experience. I bear them no ill will, but want to help my community to rent well. Please keep this in mind before renting with them!

They have been timely and efficient with providing apartment tours and really go out of their way to try and find a good fit.

I appreciated them keeping us informed of how things were going, taking care of routine and minor maintenance when necessary, and consulting with us over a few larger items. Their bookkeeping was also very organized and timely. During the two years, we had two sets of renters in the place and I had a chance to inspect the property after each set left. I was very pleased at how much cleaning PPM did to the property after each renter left. While I haven't had experiences with any of property management places in Davis, I can say the PPM far exceeded my expectations in every respect.

It was really helpful for us to chat with different agents to get a sense of who felt like the right person to work with, and we're so glad to have gotten in touch with LuAnn. She clearly loves doing this job and isn't afraid to give you her two cents based on her years of experience. It's also so obvious that she loves the negotiating process, which was perfect for us since that was the part that filled us with the most dread. Despite a lot of competing offers on the home we wanted, LuAnn got our offer accepted before the showing weekend was even over. If we were ever to need an agent again, we would absolutely reach out to LuAnn. She has a competent team supporting her and a lot of resources set up and ready to go so that she can spend her time on the things that matter - keeping in close contact with us, keeping us updated when things happen, and jumping in at crunch time when people and processes the extra push.

I live at Russell Park, and below is my horrible experience with Tandem Properties, and…read moreparticularly Kaylin, the manager at Russell Park. It shows how little they care about their tenants, and how their top priority is really their own convenience. Each year, we need to fill in an "intent to renew" form, to indicate if we would like to renew the lease. The signed form was due February 19 this year. I submitted the form on February 12, a week before the due date -- but I signed in the wrong column, and indicated that I would not renew when I did, in fact, want to renew. I emailed Kaylin on February 14, hoping to submit a corrected form, but she refused, saying that she will not make any changes once the forms are submitted, even though there are still FIVE DAYS before the due date. I pleaded with her, because I had no other plans for housing, but over and over she gave me canned responses: that she will not make any changes to the forms. As a result, I was recently notified to prepare to move out of my apartment after summer this year, all because I made a mistake in the renewal form, and in spite of me trying to correct it almost immediately, LONG BEFORE the deadline. I tried reaching out to Tandem Properties headquarters, but I just got redirected to Kaylin again, who said she would talk with her boss about this, but after a week, she just regurgitated the same line that they would not make changes to the form. Apparently, the entire management does not give enough of a crap to help me fix the mistake, and would happily throw me out because of this.

As a full-time and very active Realtor, I do several transactions a year with both their Woodland and Davis branch. They are all fantastic. Highly recommend!

Relocating from another state can be stressful, but Anna made the entire process smooth, efficient, and even enjoyable. She is relocation certified, and it truly shows--she anticipated my needs every step of the way, provided expert guidance about the Davis market, and was always quick to respond to my questions. Her knowledge of Central Davis and its neighborhoods was invaluable, and she helped me find a home that checked all the boxes. What really stood out to me was her professionalism, patience, and commitment to making sure I felt confident and informed throughout the process. She went above and beyond to ensure everything was handled, even from a distance. If you're moving to Davis--especially from out of state--you absolutely want Anna on your side. She's experienced, reliable, and genuinely cares about her clients. I had a very positive experience and highly recommend her.

Tara was very patient with us, as we were new to Northern CA and had no idea about neighborhoods--she schlepped us from Natomas to downtown Sacramento to Woodland to Davis, consistently honest and helpful about the pros and cons of each area. She allowed us to change our minds again and again about what we wanted, and she adjusted her search criteria without complain. She was entirely responsive to our own ideas and finds, and would quickly arrange showings whenever was convenient for us. Tara ended up feeling very much like a friend, and keeps in touch with us months after the close of escrow. She has many contacts and offers contracting and decorating assistance, and is an internal decorator herself.

I need to add another stellar review for Karen Waggoner. She is truly a professional, skilled, and…read morehard-working realtor.... and does it all with a big heart and compassionate touch. My family recently sold a property as part of an estate, and we were unable to be in Davis for the entire transaction. Karen and her team were so incredibly helpful to us in managing the entire process from A-Z, while we were remote - including lining up inspetions, vendors, and providing a great strategy and plan. Karen was incredibly responsive and organized everything for us in a shared Spreadsheet which we loved as it ensured nothing fell through the cracks. Most importantly through all of this, is how Karen treated us and made us feel. At the start of the process, knowing that we were selling a parent's former home as part of an estate, Karen said "I will treat this transaction as if it were my own parent or family member." And now that the transaction has closed, I can say that she did fulfill that commitment and we are extremely appreciative and grateful to her.

Karen Waggoner is my real estate broker and agent. She was my agent for the purchase of two…read moreproperties and the sale of one. These transactions ranged from 2016 through 2021. I can't say enough good things about Karen and her team. Karen earned our trust almost immediately. Karen gave us great advice and guided us through the transactions making them easy and stress-free. All communications were timely, friendly, and professional. We did almost all of our transactions through email, text messages, and web sites (for e-signing and exchanging confidential docs securely). It was all very efficient and as easy as it could get. (By the way, this was our preference. I'm sure if you have another preference for communications etc., Karen and her team would make it happen for you the way you prefer.) The first purchase with Karen representing my wife and me was for a condo in Woodland. By following Karen's advice, we ended up buying the property at a lower price than we expected. We really wanted that condo and with Karen's help we got it! Given our great experience on the condo purchase, when we wanted to buy another property in Woodland a few years later, we went straight to Karen. We ended up purchasing it far below asking price...again, due to us following some sage advice from Karen. The overall experience was like the first time we worked with her: as good as it gets. Recently (Feb 2021) we sold the condo that we had purchased with Karen's help. This was our first sale with Karen representing us. She advised us to repair some things, update some others, replace a few things, and paint it before we put it on the market. She handled all this including getting bids and managing the contractors. She even brought in some furniture and accessories to stage it. After all the work, which it turns out was a very good investment, we listed on a Friday in the late afternoon. Within 24 hours, we had two offers. Within another day, we had another. We ended up with 3 different competing offers...and sold it for $42K more than our listing price! We are ecstatic about it! If you want a real estate broker/agent who you can trust, who will have your best interests at heart, who will represent you well, and who will be a joy to work with, contact Karen Waggoner. She and her team are the best.
