The Hinkens group is the only property manager I have used. Not only are they fair and honest, they are a local family that has been the area for many years. They understand the town and valley and I consistently refer all my friends and family to them. If you are looking for a great real estate and rental experience work with the Hinkens group. read more

The people fixing things quicker, they inspect your place once a year and you tell them things that are wrong, we lived there at least 4 years, and things written on our inspections still are not fixed. We don't live there now, but the place we had should be fixed before they rent it again. The people there are nice but the rent is a bit high for what you get out of them read more

Working with Hinkens has been awesome, they make everything so simple and easy. I also wanna give a special shoutout to Jessica. Jessica is a patient, respectful, and reliable person. She always responds in a timely manner when we have any questions or concerns. If you are planning to work with Hinkens ask for Jessica she is the best!!! read more

Sarah Jones is the best. She is quick with her responses when needed! She gets all my questions answered in the most respectful manner. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to rent. read more

Paid the credit check fees of over $100 that isn't even necessary any longer since credit karma is available. They have very little availability to show rentals and my family and I had to miss work and school to accommodate Hinkens schedule! The credit check fees are way too much! It's not worth it. Find another management company or go with a private landlord to work with! read more

Pretentious af!!! And rude!!!! Never got back to us about any of the properties, this is a total scam.

This is a one stop shop! I was able to look at properties for sale and get accurate rental prices from their property manager which was important in my decision to buy. Tommy is a sharp and creative realtor who knows how to handle issues effectively. Lupe is the property manager and she has lots of years of experience which is extremely important when you're dealing with renters. In my opinion from both sides of the business their years of experience and their abilities to manage situations effectively is why I chose to do business with them. read more

Hinkens Property Management is a joke. First of all, they barely did any of the managing, putting everything on us as renters. I mean everything. In addition, they made us pay for anything that they saw fit to, including having to go through their professional" painter to paint a baby blue bedroom (former nurse) back to an off white. $356, and the room still has blue in it. ‍ The final slap in the face was in rip-off job they performed in returning our security deposit. We spent the last two weeks making sure the place was immaculate, including having the carpets professionally cleaned. They still charged us $580 to "clean unit". They also charged us $605 to hang two closet doors (about 5 minutes to do) and patch up two small holes in one bedroom wall from a mounted tv. There were other charges too. In short, it felt like renting from the mob. I emphatically DO NOT recommend Hinkens whatsoever. read more

We recently used The Hinkens Group Property Management Group to sell a home in Vandenberg Village. From the initial contact. Tom was very helpful and knowledgeable about home sales in the area and he suggested a listing price that we felt was reasonable and fair. We had several initial inquiries by poersons interested in "flipping" the property but they were well below the value Tom had indicated as reasonable. In a short time we received an offer that exceeded the listing price and soon the house was under contract and now sold. Tom and his staff were very helpful throughout the entire process, insuring that any issues that came up, were dealt with quickly and reaasonably. This was no surprise to us as we had previously used The Hinkens Group to purchase purchase a home in the area. I would highly recommend Tom and his company for not only the purchase or sale of a home but based upon the service provided in handling repairs and other issues with the condition of the property, I would think that this would carry through to property management. read more

Do not give this company any money! I completed the application, paid the fees and never heard anything. I had to constantly call and email to find out what was going on. I applied for 2 properties and had almost zero communication about either. It's a scam!! I applied for another company and had a place in about a week. read more

I was interested in an apartment. Filled out their online application. Paid $38 for a credit check. I have great local references (Who Hinkens manages their properties). 750+ credit. 5X income to rent. Was contacted by "Lupe", one time, and she said she'd get back to me after she spoke with the owners. Never heard from her again. Nothing. Not to let me know I didn't get that place. Not to try and place me in another place. Nothing. When a week went by, I was surprised and bummed. When two went by, I was pissed. I hadn't said anything because I know people who know her. And they were surprised, at how unprofessional she was, and the level of disregard for a potential client. Me too, but she sealed the deal for me. I would never give them a dime or rent a property from them as long as she works there. It's been a few months now, and it still nags at me. If this is her norm and the her boss doesn't know, they should. So I'm writing a review to make it known. Lupe, the owners, anybody there can contact me. If they care. They have my info. It was May 1st, 2021, and the property is shown below. read more

Tom Hinkens stole $50 from us. He runs a Lompoc Property Management Company. We applied for a property he had listed, he charged us double the application fee and then never processed our application. I verified this by calling my references and checking my credit report for an inquiry. Reporting this scammer to the AG of California and to the Department of Real Estate. Unfortunately, it is hard to find a house for rent in Lompoc that is not controlled by a property management company. read more

I can not say enough wonderful things about Tom Hinkens and his company. The staff is always professional and friendly. This was quite the contrast to the treatment we had received while searching for a rental property with other companies. We went with a rental through him for several reasons including the excellent customer service (Tom treats you like a good neighbor, not a paycheck). And the price of the rental was very reasonable. We moved across the state and were very unfamiliar with the area. Tom took the time to share some recommendations with us for local businesses and schools. When our house had to be evacuated due to a wildfire, Tom called us to make sure we were OK and to assure us that our home would be safe since it was being used as the staging area for the fire department. From showing the house, to arranging everything for move in, to fixing things (with a skilled handyman who is great at repairing things instead of replacing, which is great for owners), to renter relations, I feel that we get top notch service at the Hinken's group. I highly and enthusiastically recommend the Hinkens Group to anyone who is looking for a place to rent or for someone who is in need of a property manager that finds quality tenants and keeps them happy for a long tenancy. read more

I use Hinkens Group for my properties. They do a great job. Great staff!! Melissa is the best! I know thing will be taken care of.

My husband and I both agree that Hinkens group is a great property management group and reliable. They were willing to work with us over the phone since we were moving from out of state and the house we chose to rent is a great little place in a nice neighborhood. It is an old house, so it of course needs maintenance and hinkens takes care of the problem very quickly. I foolishly locked myself out of the house one day and a staff member stopped by to unlock the front door for me. To sum it up, the staff has been very accommodating and we have nothing to complain about. I highly recommend. read more

Since my first review had content that was inappropriate, I'll change it up a bit.... If you're white, Hinkins Group will treat you right.... If not beware, they smile in your face, then take your hard earned money... You can't charge a tenant for things you told them not to worry about, sending me private messages isn't changing my mind it's only validating what I said the first time.... I was warned by many not to rent through shady business owners but I didn't listen and I wish I had... $2,260 is what they took from my deposit... Paint, and carpet... I've lived there almost four years isn't that normal wear and tear and to charge me $1,200 to paint is insane isn't, it mandatory for you to repaint before a new tenant moves in, which by the way, was days after I moved?? I did everything that was asked of me and trusted both Toms... My dad was right when he said they have no idea how to run a proper business they're just plain crooked!!!! Even called to tell them the problems I had before the two days I had to move out, was even told we don't know how to evict someone who's up to date on rent, paid on time, the neighbors just don't like you so they keep complaining saying I have an aggressive dog, even though I watched them antagonize him daily, told property managers who did nothing but believe the white neighbors because like I said "we changed the complexion of the neighborhood and now people want to throw stones at us " well said Mr. Hinkins, you said everything you needed to!!!!! read more

I highly recommend renting from the Hinkens Group for several reasons. I am a fifth year in college, about to graduate and have rented apartments from many other company's in the Santa Barbara area. When I needed to rent a house in Lompoc...I was in a rush to find a place to live since my current lease from another company was ending...so I went to the Hinkens Group for help. They worked very hard to find me a place quickly, that was affordable and ready for move-in (since school was starting back up soon). They genuinely cared for me and stayed in contact with me about every available option. Now that I am living in this beautiful home...I must say the option to make online payments for rent is a BLESSING for a busy college student like me because it just takes a click of a button on my phone or laptop to get the rent paid! But my most favorite thing about living here is when I go online and write a maintenance service request, I literally get a call that same day and the maintenance is fixed right away! I kid you not...I have NEVER experienced such fast service through a rental company like this before. I really appreciate all of the employees hard work and commitment...you can tell when someone really loves their job! I look forward to continue renting from them in the future! Thank you Hinkens Group! read more
