    Avoid This Property Management Company - Dishonest and Aggressive…read moreI would strongly advise against renting from this property management company. Our experience was incredibly frustrating and ultimately felt like we were being taken advantage of. We were charged $250 for a pipe repair without ever being contacted, consulted, or quoted for the work. When we tried to schedule a meeting to discuss the charge, they refused to meet, ignored our calls, and eventually threatened us with eviction unless we paid. We were forced to pay for something we had no opportunity to approve or dispute. When we moved out, we gave more than 30 days' notice, professionally cleaned the carpets and the home, and even touched up the walls. Despite this, they withheld $2,100 of our security deposit. Their breakdown included: * $300 for drywall repair (not previously mentioned or shown to us) * $1,100 for painting the entire house (even though we left it in great condition) * A charge to replace a lightbulb they falsely claimed was out * $260 for cleaning (even though we had the home professionally cleaned) Throughout the process, this company was unresponsive, evasive, and became aggressive when we questioned the charges. It was clear they had no intention of communicating fairly or ethically. They do not treat tenants with respect and seem to rely on intimidation and avoidance to force compliance. This company took advantage of us and treated us dishonestly. Renters, beware--they will take your money and ignore your concerns.

We rented a beautiful home in Somersett through SIGUA Property Management, and one of the best parts of the entire experience was working with Joey Vincent Pontillas. We also appreciated that our dogs were welcomed. They're part of our family, and it meant so much to be able to rent such a wonderful home without feeling like we had to apologize for having them. Any time something needed attention in the home, Joey was incredibly responsive. Whether it was a repair or a maintenance issue, he made sure someone was there as quickly as possible--often the same day or the very next day. We never felt ignored or like our concerns were put on the back burner. That level of responsiveness is rare, and it made us feel respected as renters. Toward the end of our lease, there was one disagreement that needed to be worked through. Joey handled it with professionalism, clear communication, and a level head. He kept everyone informed, treated both us and the homeowners with respect, and helped bring everything to a resolution that felt fair for everyone involved. What impressed us most is that he makes an incredibly demanding job look easy. We know that's not the case behind the scenes, but Joey's calm, responsive, and professional approach never wavered. He genuinely cares about doing the job well, and it shows. If you're looking for a rental or property management company in the Reno-Tahoe area--especially in Somersett--we highly recommend SIGUA Property Management. Joey is the kind of property manager who restores your faith in the profession. He's responsive, dependable, hardworking, and truly takes pride in his work. Thank you, Joey, for all of your hard work. We truly appreciate everything you did for us and wish you continued success.

    DEAR BROKER OF CLARK!!!**** This 5 star yelp is for the one and only....JODDY TIESLAU!!.....JODDY…read moreTIESLAU!!......JODDY TIESLAU!!! I have nothing but LLLOOOOVVVVEEEEE when it comes to Joddy Tieslau who I had the absolute pleasure of meeting last year while she was giving me a tour of a property that she had ended up renting to me and from that moment on, Joddy Tieslau, a real estate agent who I have never met before in my life, is now not just a friend, but someone who I'd consider family and I'd literally do anything for.... Last year, I was trying to rent for the longest time and I was having trouble getting approved as well as just finding that right spot that I wanted to temporarily call home, all of that was about to change the moment I met Joddy. When I found the listing and realized it was exactly what I had wanted, close to downtown and literally less than 3/4 of a mile from my work and less than 200 yards from the river which was a MUST for me since fly fishing is my biggest hobby, I crossed my fingers and hopes for the best. It was around 10am when I met Joddy at the unit for rent and right off the bat after introducing each other , she was soooooo warm and welcoming, sweet and caring, bubbly and energetic and I instantly had a smile from ear to ear. She showed me the place and I instantly said yes and with all stars aligned, everything worked out and I was approved for the unit!!!! In the years of me renting, Joddy has treated me the best, by far with the most upright love and care. Whenever there was a question or an issue, I would call her and she would have it resolved in a matter of minutes and all of our phone calls ended up being a 15-20 minute conversation of how our days were going and what was new and exciting in each others lives LOL, and that right there is more than just an agent presenting their duties owed to a client, it was genuine, caring, a bond, it was a friendship then and a friendship now and will continue to be forever. My overall experience was 10 stars and even though I just moved out of my place, I will forever be in contact with Joddy who is my close friend, family member and she is the NUMBER 1 in my books and I guarantee she'll be your number 1 as well. If you had the patience to sit and read my review and you are contemplating on who to call to rent from, look no more, contact Joddy Tieslau at Clark real estate!!! Love, Rodney Ginn

    The requirements of Clark Real Estate is absolutely ridiculous. Just when you think you find a…read morehouse you love and you go to apply, if you get accepted you have to move in within 10 days. That seems unreasonable when under another lease somewhere else and can't just up and move anytime. When you're already at a rental you're going to have to start looking at new houses a month or more in advance, on top of that having to pay an expensive first down within 24 hours. I'm assuming people are saving up for and using their last security deposit (which you get at the very end of moving out). I would hope I'm not just starting to look for a new house 10 days prior to having to move. If I see a house on the market, as soon as I see this real estate agency I have to just call it a loss. Especially after looking at how horrible the other reviews are.

They have a wide variety of properties available and can help you out with storage units if you need it. All in all a good company and easy to work with.

    WARNING: I rented…read morefrom Realty Boulevard from November 2024 to April 2026, across two of their managed properties. Here is my documented experience. Nov 2024-Aug 2025 (first property): The unit had a German cockroach infestation and water issues. After months of habitability problems, I requested and received a transfer to another RB-managed property in August 2025. July-Aug 2025 (second property): The City of Reno cited this property in July 2025 -- the month before RB moved me in. That citation was never disclosed, and I discovered a pest problem immediately upon move-in. Management later acknowledged in writing that the pest source was a basement door left open. They transferred me out of one infested property into another with a known, active issue. Sept 2025: I reported a common-area window repeatedly left open (heat, pests, security). Management responded by sending ME a lease violation notice over that same window. Only after I initiated mediation did they put in writing that it was not a violation. Sept-Oct 2025: My lease mandates mediation through Sierra Nevada Realtors. I formally initiated it. Neither the property manager nor the broker ever responded. SNR closed my file on October 9, 2025 due to their non-response and advised my only remaining option was court. Nov-Dec 2025: My oven was non-functional from November 26 to December 23 -- through Thanksgiving. After my complaint, the City of Reno issued a Warning of Violation on December 22, 2025 (Case ENF26-C02059) citing the non-functioning oven, infestation, and debris in the common areas. I received a $200 credit for a month without an oven citing it as an amenity. Jan 2026: I obtained the City's full enforcement history for the property: code enforcement cases from 2016 through 2025, including nuisance and blight classifications and housing code violations. Management dismissed this history in writing as predating my tenancy -- despite the July 2025 citation issued the month before I signed. Feb-Mar 2026: RB's lease required enrollment in a paid "resident benefit package" that included rent reporting as well as pest management. That reporting went stagnant for over six months, was deleted from all three bureaus in January 2026, then reappeared on my credit report showing a 2025 open date -- though the account originated in November 2024 -- with incorrect account information. I filed CFPB complaints against the companies involved and against the credit bureaus; the CFPB referred them to the FTC's law enforcement Sentinel database. Each company -- the reporting service, the benefits provider, and Realty Boulevard -- pointed to the others as responsible in a circular loop of nonaccountability. Apr 2026: I lawfully terminated my lease under Nevada law and returned possession on April 23, hand-delivering the required documentation -- including a police report -- to their office. Their office later could not account for those documents. May 2026: Two weeks after I returned possession, their office stated by email that an eviction lawsuit had been filed against me. My search of Washoe County court records found no such filing. My written request for a billing statement was never answered. They then withheld half of my security deposit. Photos of me, my minor child, and family members were also used in commercial advertising without my consent, despite documented safety concerns this office was aware of in 2024. Every statement above is supported by emails, official city citations, credit reports, CFPB complaint records, court record searches, and the Sierra Nevada Realtors mediation file. Prospective tenants: pull the City of Reno code enforcement history for any address this company manages before you sign. I would not rent from this company again.
