We interviewed 5 local realtors and picked Josh due to his very prompt responsiveness and the fact that he has personal "skin in the game" with his own rental properties in the area. He excels in identifying properties with a strong price-to-rent ratio, accurately estimating rent prices, and knowing the right neighborhoods to focus on. Josh's knack for spotting properties with potential, even if they need repairs (creating an even better deal for us investors), was invaluable. His extensive network in the industry brought us great deals from surrounding markets. Josh's dedication, availability, and market expertise made the entire process seamless. We highly recommend Josh, particularly for his expertise and commitment to helping us secure a fantastic property that will be fantastic to live in and turn in to a great rental property. Josh will be our go-to for all future purchases (or advise) and our recommendation for anybody purchasing in the area.

Brandon helped negotiate with the seller to give us a discount on price to help offset the repairs needed. We couldn't be happier with Brandon and his work ethic, timing and professionalism.

They guided our family through the process of buying our dream home in Hereford in July 2019 with extreme ease. We bought from out of state. Krystal and Brandon spent countless hours searching the market for just the right home. Their attention to detail and professional knowledge coupled with their personal touch is unrivaled. They made us feel like family from offer to closing! We were under contract to purchase a home within one day of arriving to the area. When that deal fell through due to unforeseen circumstances, they found us the perfect home within a matter of 24 hours. They both flexed their schedules to show us our house via Skype. Now that is personal customer service! Krystal introduced us to our lender, who was able to get us the perfect rate and terms on our VA loan. They were able to meet our all of our wants and needs, and we even closed on the house early! All credit goes to Patriotic Real Estate Group Krystal and Brandon scheduled and coordinate all of the inspections, and attended each evolution as we were still out of state. Upon closing, they were able to work with our dynamic schedule, over a holiday weekend, to ensure we were well taken care of and informed of the process. If they hadn't already done enough for our family, they even gave us a "Welcome Home and Congratulations" present when we received our keys. It's easy to see why they are the so highly desirable in the area. Professional and personable! They treated us like family, and that is something that doesn't go unnoticed in today's business world. Not only did we find fantastic realtors, we made good friends! One word to sum up Patriotic Real Estate Group -- EXCELLENCE!

This review is for Jennifer Henry at Tierra Antigua Realty in Sierra Vista, AZ…read more First and foremost, I have to admit that I've had to deal with two (2) HORRIBLE realtors in the past (ERA being the most recent..UGH!), so when it came time to really seal the deal and find yet another realtor who I wanted to have my best interest at heart as a seller, I found myself doing yet another round of "realtor interviews". BLUF: Jennifer is absolutely no nonsense. When she meets you for the first time, she'll have some serious questions for you - to include what your expectations are of her, so everything can be discussed and right expectations set from the start from all parties. She's on top of real estate laws, works well with communicating to her clients, and is very well networked in the area. I met w/ Jennifer in mid/late December, expecting that it would take 2-3 months to sell the house. She set my mind at ease, informing me that my house was staged perfectly, and after all of her market research, that my house would likely sell within 60 days. She also did her homework and informed me of a good price-point to sell my house at, so that it would appeal to the highest number of people, but not having me give my house away. Jennifer got an offer the first week...and for FULL ASKING PRICE! (The realtor w/ ERA was trying to hose me over BIG TIME). As I moved out of state by this time, she was in constant communication with me, and even took my calls when she was sick or in the middle of something else. Better yet, she knew how much time I spent at work, so when she needed something, she knew when to call me (after work), or if it was important, she'd text me. Jennifer also pushes for contingent offers, so sellers don't find themselves without a buyer should the first offer fall through, so she definitely works for her money. She's passionate about what she does, and she does it well. I should have gone with my gut the first time and hired Jennifer, but I will tell you, as a lesson learned, Jennifer will always have my business. Now I just hope she gets her realtor license in CA so I can use her again! Thank you, Jennifer, for making my experience a great one. Because of you, I can now be in my CA home without worry, without a second mortgage to pay, and knowing that I can finally, completely, move on in my life. Thank you.

I had a positive experience from the start. Derrick showed me two homes on the first day and pointed out flaws in both: structural flaws that would cost thousands to repair. I liked that honesty. He also told me when a house was overpriced and what I should bid on. While this was not my first home, he kept me updated on the procedure from start to finish. His entire team was helpful and quick to answer questions, even in the evenings. For three weeks he kept me updated on new homes on the market. He knew what I was looking for and stayed within that price range. The more we talked, the more he was able to hone in on what I wanted/needed. He was with me when I signed for the title of the house and the keys. I'd recommend him and his team to anyone looking for their next home.

When I moved to Sierra Vista, I was thrilled that those same expectations are with Preference Properties. I understand that there are those who have been less than excited with their time; however, my experiences have been quite the opposite. We were able to quickly rent and move in, given our needs they made sure we were able to see the house at a bizarre time and file paperwork in a rapid turnaround. They provided us with a list of expectations for maintenance and as a homeowner I think that's critical to minimizing repairs due to neglect later on. Nancy has a great personality and is very professional in every interaction, she is prior military and it shows. She works hard to protect her renters, buyers, and homeowners and I think her company has many more satisfied (but not as electronic) clients than are reflected here on Yelp. Decide for yourself but I openly trust my rental experiences to Preference Properties.

We used them to manage our property while overseas. They have very strict requirements on handing over the property to rent: professional cleaners, chimney swept...etc) which is ironic considering the way we got it back. They fought us on the rental price and we ended up with 2 back to back renters who trashed our beautiful home. The first renters killed 4 of our beautiful sycamore trees that my husband planted. The second literally trashed our house - infested with mice, carpets soaked with pet urine that they were not supposed to have. We essentially had to gut the house. And preference property told us we just had bad luck with renters. I'm literally not sure what we paid them for.

Most often, she had already handled issues before I realized they were issues. She went above and beyond her duties. We found exactly what we wanted and she made it happen. No matter what time day or night she was always willing and eager to help. Her knowledge of properties is priceless. She knows exactly who to recommend if you need help on something; whether it's landscape companies, pest control, or where to buy a tractor. This is our 4th house and by far, the easiest time we've had. I can not recommend her highly enough. Whether you are buying or selling your house, she is the one to call.

AVOID AT ALL MEANS NECESSARY! NEVER RENT FROM THIS COMPANY. The only positive reviews are from…read moreowners and employees. Its unfortunate this company has such as large share of the market in the area. They are horrible to work with and will scam you for every penny they can. Don't expect to get any of your security deposit back unless you take detailed pictures of every single thing in the house and document it on your move in checklist. They work with the homeowners and local repair companies to put as much cost of repairs / replacements / upgrades on the tenant as possible. Additionally, they charge outrageous amounts for normal things like filling nail holes and reapplying paint. In my house...you could see the rushed, cheap patch work done on nearly every wall..so its not like they're actually doing anything well. Furthermore, their response time for issues with appliances is horrendous. We were without a working fridge/freezer for weeks, and had a similar experience with the washing machine. There is no good will from this company, even if you try to reason with them and do them favors (I repaired the broken fridge and saved them time & money after they valued the damaged fridge at $1800). They also expect you as a tenant to take care of things in the house that are not a tenant's responsibility anywhere else I have ever lived. I would like to say this is an isolated incident and that I had a bad experience but I worked with numerous people who had very similar experiences. I am a successful engineer and rarely speak bad about anyone but this group effectively made these issues personal. They are greedy, unfair, unjust, and are borderline exploitative. If it was worth my time, I would pursue legal action just to get my security deposit back. If you are considering renting from this company, feel free to email me at paulstrz2010@gmail.com and I will gladly send you a copy of the move out inspection and documentation they used to claim deductions from my security deposit.

When my home fell out of escrow back home she was quick to flip the rug from me and take my 5K earnest money without any hesitation or problem solving to help us after two weeks of originally putting in the offer. It is her way or the highway. Pick another company or go to Tierra Antigua as they have some pretty honest realtors. I have since bought 2 homes and looking for another investment home.
