I hired Lori Parker to sell my home in Puyallup and was ultimately disappointed with the…read moreexperience. Communication was inconsistent throughout the listing period. Many of my questions went unanswered, and I often felt I had to repeatedly follow up for information and updates. In fact, I had to contact Zillow for corrections when that's the realtor's job. The home remained on the market for an extended period with very limited feedback provided to me. Aside from being told the house showed well and one buyer wanted a larger downstairs bedroom, I received little information regarding buyer or agent impressions. After consulting another real estate professional, I learned that several staging and presentation changes were recommended immediately that had previously been dismissed. I had suggested these changes for staging purposes and was told, "it's fine." This left me questioning whether my home had been positioned as effectively as possible from the beginning. I was also surprised to discover that the website printed on the business cards was not functioning properly. As a seller, I expect marketing materials and online resources to be fully operational. My biggest concern was that I did not feel informed throughout the process. Selling a home is one of the largest financial transactions most people will ever make, and I believe sellers deserve clear communication, realistic pricing guidance, timely responses, and proactive marketing. This was my experience, and I hope it helps other sellers ask detailed questions about communication expectations, marketing plans, and pricing strategy before signing a listing agreement. I would not recommend her services.

However, she refused to let me tour the home unless I either hired a buyer's agent (which is not legally required in Washington) or obtained a letter from an attorney authorizing her to show the property. When I asked whether this was the seller's requirement or just her own policy, she gave vague responses, then eventually stopped replying altogether. This kind of restriction feels unnecessary and unprofessional, creating barriers for buyers who prefer to handle transactions independently. If this is how she treats interested buyers, I can only imagine how she handles actual negotiations.

We rented a property through Rolly Beltran of Better Properties (Mt. Tacoma Dr. SW location): 1389…read moreBurnside Place Dupont, Wa (was the rental). We had a few problems with him as property manager while we were in the property. He was slow to fix problems and often the lawn wouldn't get mowed, even though it was included in our rent. It got so high the HOA even sent warning letters but we were not held responsible for the HOA fines, so it wasn't a huge problem for us. The real issues started when we vacated the property. We gave proper notice and cleared the house in a mutually acceptable condition on August 17th. Rolly informed us that he would not refund the prorated rest of the month because Washington State law didn't require him to. We are military, so we had to leave regardless. Ok, the law is the law. Washington Law requires that our refund check be post marked by 21 days after vacancy. It wasn't but we got it and it was for the full amount. However, when we tried to deposit the check it bounced! We notified Rolly and he deflected blame to the owner, even though under Washington Law he shares responsibility. We agreed to give the owner three additional days to electronically transfer the funds, even though a transfer between USAA member accounts is immediate. Three days has elapsed with no resolution. I would not rent 1389 Burnside Place in Dupont or any property from Rolly Beltran. I have yet to speak to the boss at Better Properties (he's on vacation) but I will update this review when I can get ahold of him. EDIT: 37 days after vacating and one trip to JAG, we FINALLY got our refund.

And if they do, it's days later when they promise you an hour or two. They are LAZY LAZY LAZY. Here's our story: My boyfriend has a house that he has rented out using TPM for 2 years. The first year lease we had ended prematurely, but no extra funds were collected. In fact, the yard was left COMPLETELY TRASHED, complete with the fire-pit being dismantled and thrown across the yard....but was the deposit withheld like we requested? Nope. And was there items and garbage left inside the house after move out? Yep. Tenant charged for that? Nope. Our PRIVATE number was also given to the tenant, who harassed us about motorcycles being driven in the neighborhood and noise complaints. WHAT?!! Why were we EVER contacted? Isn't that the property managements' job?! Also, our house was never marketed correctly. It was on ONE WEBSITE. It was also extremely UNDER valued, because we listened to them when they told us that we wouldn't get for rent what we were paying in a mortgage. Turns out every house renting in the cul de sac was renting for more than ours! Our leasing agent was just too lazy to market, so he under valued for a quick sale! And another thing, these agents (Jason!!!) promise everything and deliver nothing! I just called to see where the deposits were (which accounts) for the withheld security deposit from the torn up back yard, and he had no clue! He actually thought the previous lease had left AFTER their lease was up. WHAT?!! He also said he "doesn't remember" if he ever did a walk through. Again, WHAT?!! That is part of the lease agreement and WA landlord/tenant law! If you ever deal with Andrew, I sympathize. His voice mail box is always full, so you can never actually leave a message. If you leave messages with the receptionist, you will never (i'm not kidding, i have still yet to hear his voice) get a call back. His OWN receptionist apologized to me and said she can never get ahold of him either, and that "sometimes" texting him works (it doesn't). How are you never in the office, and your own employees don't know how to reach you either?!!! Last but not least, when rent was 9 days late by the current tenant, WE had to contact THEM to figure out why it was a no-show. His response? "Well, it was a holiday weekend, and it was their first couple months on lease, We wanted to give them some lee-way." I'm sorry...WHAT?!! Unacceptable. I demanded they immediately slap a pay or vacate notice on the door and collect rent immediately. Why was I doing THEIR JOB?!! It made us late on our mortgage because of their blatantly lazy and inadequate attitude. Bottom line...What kind of a business runs like this?!! We have had enough. These people just take your money and you end up doing the work yourself. Go with Windermere Property South (Kira) and save yourself the heartache. **update. It's been 5.5 weeks of us emailing & calling to schedule a face to face meeting to discuss ending our services...with ZERO response to our request. Who ARE these people?!!! **1/24/15 update: had TPMC served. In process of suing for damages. Our lawyer said they were hard to track down, as they have moved and changed number multiple times. So shady. Update: 3/2016: anyone else find it suspicious that there are 5-10 reviews from exactly 3 months ago (TO THE DAY) with raving reviews of this company? BUYER BEWARE!!!! You can't fake a failing BBB review!

I was an owner of a property in University Place and used Tacoma PMC services for about 3 years…read more Deric was my primary contact and although he was sometimes hard to get a hold of at times, he would always return my calls. The key here is to not contact the main phone/email, but instead get a direct phone number and get in touch that way. Deric was very good about getting new tenants when we had turnover. They do their due diligence and keep owners completely in the loop when finding/vetting new tenants. Pros: They contract with home maintenance companies to get services at cost. They will go out of their way to assist in appliance purchase. Being an out-of-state owner, this was hugely important. Diligent work to always have a tenant in the house. I never had a lapse in vacancy. Lower cost (9%/month + 1/2 of first month per year) in comparison to other companies (10%/month + 1/2 of first month per year) from what I saw. Cons: Very difficult to get in touch with, clearly. However, keep in mind that their property managers are working almost 100% from the road in some capacity. June/July is their busy season because everyone wants to move during these months. Didn't always get my owner statement for the month and needed to request. They were transitioning at the time, so somewhat understandable, but it could've been a more seamless transition. Other reviews stated that they changed offices and were not able to be found, but I never had that issue. Their website clearly stated their current office location. If I had a rental in Tacoma again, I would definitely use Deric's services again.
