I would give a zero if I could. Cannot call or text them as they don't know the answers. They do not follow our bylaws and let one certain board member make all the decisions. They recently assessed us 280.00 (OVER AND ABOVE THE 250.00 we already pay) for 5 years. This was sent out 3 weeks before first installment was due. To top it off, they did not get any bids; just pulled this amount out of the sky. I could go on and on, but just to make it short...... avoid this company 100%.. Oh, and even our $$$$$ are sent out of state. Not good at all read more

JBC Property Management Inc Sadly, this place was hired to manage our community. Wow. Something simple like removing a 'storage' car on my street has taken over a month. Really. The car is still there. I ask them over and over again to remove the car. Nothing. It's like they are on vacation. The snow plows will not plow my street because of the damn ONE car. So far, they are doing a bad job. Very poor. read more

***Second update, they are now claiming to know nothing about our gas being off since Friday and after some complaints, it was turned back on Sunday, names redacted: Hi John, I was not aware of the gas being shut off. I have included **** on this email as she might of gotten a notification. Sincerely, **** Assistant Property Manager ***This is an update to a review that I posted 1 day ago. Since then the gas to my building has been turned off because of a "minor leak no need to worry" they shut the gas off for the weekend. Take that as you will.*** To re-state my review. Each year living with JBC they have increased or fees while adding nothing. They bring nothing to the community other then condescending memos taped to our doors. I was young and rushed into a home that I didn't full understand. While this is my first experience, I can in sound mind warn you away from any HOA if possible but especially JBC. I hope this paints a picture of the HOA read more

Don't respond in a timely manner - all inquiries go through the owner as the managers don't have the authority to do anything. Jeff is condescending. JCB is a joke of a management company .Take your money and don't give anything in return. DONT us these people you will regret this. Find a professional these people are hacks. read more

If I could leave a ZERO I would. I have owned two different properties managed by this company and they have done NOTHING but try to scam money from clients. they will not take responsibility for anything besides cutting the grass, and even the companies they use for this are lazy and do subpar work read more

This Company has absolutely no respect for its community residents. Our condo association residents were sent a letter dated May 5, 2025 and we received the letter around May 10th. We were assessed an additional $165 for a future roof replacement in addition to our $250. This is a monthly charge for the next 5 years. How can a company in good conscience do this without holding a meeting and discussing the issue and giving us some time and/or some alternatives. This is a community of mostly senior citizens and will be a hardship to most of us. This company has no regard for people and this was done in a vile and contemptible way. I would give JBC a zero rating but that is not possible. I would urge all people looking at purchasing a condo to make sure that JBC management does not manage it. read more

Hello, Jbc property management has to be the worst property management company in the country. They send no communication around Association fees and when they finally get around to it they tackle on 5 months of late fees to your account. It's a shame a business would do business like this. read more

Absolutely the worst management company in the state, they raise the dues last year and do less in the community this year, they put mulch down in July everywhere except behind our building. They did do other buildings in the back, but said it was done by accident oh one of the board members lives over there I guess that's why, Sprinklers were turned on our building of course waited an extra three weeks and now they water in the middle of the daytime, which does absolutely no good. They came two weeks ago to fertilize and totally missed our building and nothing's been fertilized since they've been notified. It's like they're purposely trying to drive down our property value. I guess it might be time to look at Michigan receivership this company is horrible. If you can get out of a contract with them, do it the only reason I gave him one star is cause I had to post this, also the landscaping brick is disintegrating throughout the complex. They've been working on it for months, so I'm sure that won't be addressed this year either. read more

Reading the reviews given on JBC I can only ask this. What kind of board of directors do you have for your complex? That plays a big part with the Management company you choose. They both go hand in hand. JBC works well with us. Answers to our questions are given within 48 hours. Our Board stays on top of all, budget, maintenance request, complaints, concerns and because of this, JBC is able to work hand in hand with us to get the job done! read more

Terrible customer service from the owner! I'm the one who hired the company to manage our neighborhood association and have been treated with such disrespect from Jeff. The person that was assigned to our subdivision was wonderful. Very helpful and responsive. however, the company policies are there to rip you off. I was a sitting Board member for over 20 years. You would think the company you hired would be more willing to work with you and compromise. Needless to say, our contract is up this fall and we will be switching companies immediately! $565 for a letter from them. What a scam. O'brien Association Management is an excellent company. Try them instead. read more

My opinion of this company is that they are a joke, unethical, and disororganized. We have a sinkhole caused by a broken sewer drain in an easement in our backyard. was called by a member of the association and told that this needed to be fixed and that he was going to get it done. Stated he had two people already vote to approve and just needed the 3rd. When JBC found out that he contact me, he called me back and stated that he got reprimanded for calling me and trying to do the right thing and that he better not do that again. read more

Well, it only took Jeffery 6 years to respond. But in fact of matter, I did not "insinute" anything. I merely pointed out wording in your contract that I found to be questionable under the circumstances. Which by the way, you just confirmed - so thanks for that. Btw, you didn't oversee the insurance claims because we threw your ass out. Who is misleading now? * Eight one l-star reviews over six years and now seven five-star reviews in two days. Jeffery must have turned over a new leaf.... read more

If a deed states a property was purchased in July, why would this purchase are all for June Hué dues? And listen to reason?

Beginning in May, 2022 - February, 2023 the Warren police have been called FIVE times by different Co-Owners to the neighboring condo to me in Warren. FIVE police reports were made on these renters for yelling, screaming, vile language, Man threatening to kill his wife, fighting in the front yard on the main road, pre-teen girls running out of the condo with no clothes on, and the list goes on. Over 7 complaints from co-owners (besides police reports) were reported to JBC. JBC refuses to resolve this situation. By- Laws clearly state how this is to be handled but again, JBC will not handle according to the By Laws nor move on legal action. Co-owners in the complex are scared and frustrated. Avoid this property management company at all costs! read more

I have repeatedly complained to JBC regarding obnoxious cooking odors coming from the condo next door. We have lived in our home for 13 years and never asked for anything from JBC. We have to spray our furnace filter with odor eliminator constantly in an effort to have our home not smelling of curry, garlic & onion. We are being harassed & made to feel distress in our own home & our right to peaceful existence is being violated. read more

I am the finance officer for a condo association, which JBC has managed for many years. They have been very pleasant and speedy in answering questions and professionally handling issues which arise in the operation of the condo complex. Their financial reports are thorough and comprehensive. I've been on the board for nearly 14 years and have used 3 separate management companies in my time on the board. I am most satisfied with the support and management expertise that JBC has provided. read more

Neighbors continue to put their trash OUTSIDE the dumpster as opposed to IN it. Neighbors having dogs when they're not supposed to, not cleaning up after their animals, Hillside Condos living conditions are getting more deplorable as we speak..& landlords gotta nerve to charge more for these so called condos that are cheap & outdated. Neighbors are noisy, & inconsiderate, & you know what JBC does about complaints.....NOTHING!! read more

I HAVE LIVED in six condo complexes from Phoenix tp Salem Oregon th JBC is undoubtedly the absolute worse. My fiance and I have put our unit on the market because we just cannot tolerate complete incompetence .he office girl i verynice but useless. Necessary work just does NOT get done, such as ice and snow removal. It is dangerous and JBC management DOES NOT CARE. read more

Well this is my second review and it's just as bad as the first for JBC. What they do is blame the Board of Directors for starters for not fixing the job. I just had an inspection of the problem I pleaded with JBC for months about. After denying service without any inspection they finally sent out Absolute Services senior project manager John Lauchlan to inspect it. Come to find out he's the guy who addressed the flood problem that I believe caused the damage to my units walls. I'll just say it's another lesson learned on judging people. If anyone ever uses Absolute be careful and check them out first as I think they are used by JBC often. I can only go on my experience with them both and I wouldn't trust either one. Pretty coincidental to have Absolute come out and turn in a report that says there is no problem to fix. If I'm wrong someone tell me and I'll retract my comments. His report sure doesn't match up with the facts. For sure if Lauchlan say's "we got good Karma" to you........well things might not go as you think, as was in my case but maybe your dealings will be different. I will say it again, I don't trust them, I don't trust the 4 or 5 star reviews to be true and I believe the bad reviews about JBC. read more

he worse company to deal with ... They caused me financial issues that i couldnt afford because of the unprofessional people who works in that office , informed me a wrong information about my dues .. Also i have a work order to fix rotten wood that can be poisoning , and especially i have a toddler and its dangerous to breath it , i have the work order since April of last year and until now its NOT fixed .. Who works there they dont know anything plus they are very rude . read more

We love the way Jeff conducts himself. He explains things in detail. He is very professional, polite and helpful.

Just to call there to find out about HOA fees and payment address. The lady on the phone was rude and not helpful. Now i know why these condos are cheap as they are. And owners of the units - YOU are dumb for hiring and letting the company from Arizona manage your properties in Michigan. So, stop whining because you are FOOLS! read more

We have had JBC for almost four years. Being on the board of our complex gives me a different perspective. We left our last management company because our local manager did not get support from his corporate offices. Many things just didn't get done. While it wasn't the fault of our representative, (who we enjoyed working with) we felt forced to part ways. I would say that things got off to a bit of a rocky start. One of my main focuses was to improve communication between the board and our residents. JBC offered an online presence that we were looking for. We can submit work order requests online and our newsletters are also posted there, as well as our rules and by-laws. There are 30 day response cards that our residents are asked to fill out after a work order is complete, to insure satisfaction. That was intended but in the beginning not faithfully executed. This has been improving over time. Having said that communication is key, we (both the board and JBC) dropped the ball when informing residents regarding a major paving project. We have since stepped back and re-evaluated the project going back to the very beginning. Our relationship and communications have improved a great deal. Our board is very involved. Any residents that have an issue are encouraged to call or write (by mail or online) to JBC or notify the board. Rudeness will not be tolerated by JBC or the residents. In the past few years there have been fewer and fewer companies willing to take on small jobs. They need to be licensed and insured. Companies that take the time and trouble to fill those requirements are much more apt to take on big jobs rather than a bunch of small ones. That cripples response time on a work order as well as influences the costs. That's not an excuse, it's just a fact. Some residents are unhappy when they find that the association is not responsible to fix a problem that they don't feel they should have to pay for. That is decided by the by-laws, not the management company or even the board in most instances. Many times on review sites, one will find all complaints. The situations are often complex. Sometimes the service can be terrible. I've left negative comments on a few companies. Not because I "had an ax to grind" but because the service or product was bad. If it's resolved then the company stood behind its product. Often service after the sale is more important than the sale itself. A credible review should have unbiased detail. I feel like I've given an accurate account of where we started out and how we've progressed. It's a partnership. Anyone who's married knows that relationships can be good but still complicated. read more

My family owns a few condos on different locations within Michigan. JBC is the management company who manages them. They really are very unprofessional, they take advantage of home owners funds by providing unnecessary work to contractors of who they know and have back end deals with them. They even create fake work orders pretending to be an issue just to collect some funds from the complex budget. Very negative attitude and very harsh communication with home owners. Whenever i prove them wrong they just dont respond and dont take responsibility for their childish behaviors.. They are only goo at the board members of the complex just to keep the contract rolling. They have lost many contracts in Macomb County in the passed 5 years due to their poor expertise and unprofessional. Very soon they will change their company name and they go circles again pretending to be a new face on the market or better yet under new management would be the correct scam . DONT hire JBC Property!!!!!! read more

The property management of the North Point Condominiums in Chesterfield is unacceptable. They have never replied in a timely manner to my complaints. They also charge a large monthly fee for access to the pool but can't keep it open on a regular basis. The community's access to the pool is dependant on if an untrained high school student show's up for work. read more

If there was a way to give zero stars I would. The owner Jeff did not return 3 phone calls during business hours asking for an explanation on a $600 assessment we were asked to pay within 3 weeks. He finally called back from a unlisted number and I'm thankful I answered. He was short, rude and would not answer any of my questions about the assessment our association was charged. He reasons were lacking and could give specifics on why it was needed. I asked if he had contacted the builder to rectify the issues and he said he had not and would not. Eventually he hung up on me when he had no more answers for my questions. I wouldn't hire this company for ANY service and recommend switching to another property management company. read more

Interesting that in February 2020 the owner Jeff started posting responses to people's reviews, and that there were suddenly a few 5 start reviews posted with suspiciously glowing tales. One from a guy in San Francisco claiming to be President of a Michigan condo complex for the past 12 years? Hmmmmmm.....does he teleport to Michigan? It's been over 5 years since my complex used this management company and we are still dealing with the horrible and expensive after-effects. He outright refused to address multiple problems with our buildings including water damage - damage that has festered over the years to become major mold problems and roof damage. Work was alleged to be done & paid for, yet not done. Where did the $$ go, Jeff? You denied co-owners access to our complex records, in violation of Michigan law. Can see why you didn't want us seeing what was - or was not - really going on. Our pathetic Board put all of their trust in Jeff's opinions and guidance - to our complex's detriment. Jeff and other similar companies have professional certifications. You can file complaints with them. Just look up his certifications - call the organization - request complaint forms. read more

The ladies are VERY rude on the phone. when we called about getting a payed in full paper for our records. They told us that we still owed them money. They cant do proper math or look up things on the computer. When we looked up our papers on our computer, it showed that we over payed them. Also the Hot at the condo is always breaking down, they don't know how to get the right people out to fix it. Hopeing to move soon and get away from JBC thay are horrible. read more

This has to be by far one of the worst management companies anyone could hire. It is truly hard to think of them in any way "professional". There is perhaps one person there, a woman, who at least pretends that she is there to be of assistance. I have had 5 leaks in the main line that services all the condos in my immediate area. That line is in my basement and I was flooded out totally 2 times. Lots of damage and lots of time "I" had to take off of work because the job just wasn't been done properly. Finally (the last time) I was told by them, that they don't want to bother any more with the problem and that it is up to me to find and service the repair! It took my association president to call them before they took action. This main pipe that blew was 100% their responsibility to handle. Yet, I had to take time off of work without pay time and time again. Now I have new neighbors who are very disruptive and noisy and nothing so far has been done. I have neighbors who have complained to the property management company and I personally have complained to my Association, who said they were going to call the management company. It has been weeks and nothing to date has been done to rectify the matter. I haven't been able to sleep, my work is suffering and my health (especially since I have fibromyalgia and an auto-immune disorder) is taking its' toll on me. I don't expect or want any company to micro-manage where I live but it shouldn't take hours before I get a return call from any Emergency number as in the case of the basement flood. I would have never moved into this condo complex if I would have know that this is what I was going to have to contend with having them as property managers. read more

wish we could get rid of this company! i cant believe they are still there.the board is a joke. nobody goes by the rules and when u want to help others they tell u to mind ur business! that would make them do theirs. reviews are right.there are good management companies out there,we are not the lucky ones.. read more

STAY AWAY! This company is the worst management company ever. They do not care about the owners and tenants at all. They are always rude on the phone and are extremely untimely. They do not want to help anyone and always deflect their responsibilities onto the unit owners. The owner, Jeff, is extremely rude and does not care about helping anyone. He is very unreasonable and we pay him to manage our vendors, but he won't manage anything but the money that we pay him. Please do not support him, he doesn't deserve it. I have had multiple problems dealing with their inefficiencies and fixing items they are required to fix. JBC doesn't deserve anyone's business. Please take this advice to heart when engaging into a possible deal with JBC property management, inc. read more

I so wish I no longer had to deal with this company. Charges and fees were made due to an error, possibly by them, which they knew had occurred and by their own admission they could clearly see. And yet proceeded to mail late notices with charges to my 96 year old mother. I wish Fairway Green would not have such a disreputable company handle their association fees. read more

Lip service.... That's what you get, I have called JBC on several occasions with issues that needed attention but all I ever heard back was, " we are looking into it" .... They must take long looks because I never heard a word yet. I see in the other posts that the quality of contractors used by JBC were in question , I agree, I myself have contacted them about unsafe practices that put us all as property owners at risk, yes that's right folks , no matter what if there is a catastrophic claim made against an outside contractor all property owners will be exposed to litigation..... I have been doing my due diligent research and I am wondering why we pay them when they don't seem to avoid such risk, I could go on , but I would you look at all the posts and form your own opinion. I can only say that at this point look elsewhere for your property manager. read more

terrible service. dues are very high. no pool or club house. does include water. we need a new company.

The folks that run this company are no property managers. There was a major fire in our building that required a complete rebuild for 4 of the 6 units - basement up and the remaining two from the inside out. The workmanship of the company that was contracted to do the rebuild was horrible. Not only did the architect completely did the design in a reverse plan - completely the opposite of the original plans and it was not caught by contractor and when brought to their attention were flabbergasted and lied to us that is was due to new building codes - not! as per the city inspectors - further we were not shown the specifications - this would surely have been caught - the property managers did nothing about it. We were basically told too bad even after contacting several attorneys. Further we had to fight for everything we had done to the unit including items from bathroom remodels that had just been completed prior to fire as well as marble sills on the windows, even the landscape that we had done, etc., etc. That being said, this was the worst year of our lives and I would not recommend this management company . read more
