I've looked at all these reviews and there was one where someone said she is a "pit bull with…read morelipstick" and, honestly, that sums her up. Marianne is so knowledgeable, hardworking, and will fight to the end of the earth for her clients. She also deeply cares for the people she represents. I know she's working in my best interest always. She handled the sale of my mom's home that was within a trust, out of the area, and filled with two generations of stuff. I was an emotional wreck and she came in and guided me through it all. We got over asking, all cash deal within 10 days of going to market. Above and beyond work every day -- from clean up, to prep, to staging, to marketing, to negotiating. I'm just so fortunate to have had Marianne represent me. I can't emphasize enough how hard the whole selling decision was for me. She was patient, we explored various options together. When we ultimately decided the right decision was to sell, she sprang into action and got it done quickly so I could move on from a heartbreaking situation. Her style is uniquely hers. There's no bullshit. Marianne is going to tell it to you straight, but I personally wouldn't want it any other way. I can't say enough great things about Marianne!!! Hire her; you won't regret it.

My husband and I are first time landlords and despite not having a background in real estate, we…read moretried to manage our property ourselves. Everything was fine until the tenant stopped paying, and anyone who has dealt with these issues knows how stressful it can be. Lost and extremely frustrated, I called Marianne after doing some research on Yelp. Marianne was completely calm, confident, and professional. She quickly gathered basic information about us, the property, and the tenant. She informed us that she will be taking over and assured us that we will regain possession of the property. By that evening she had already sent over all the necessary DocuSign's and within the next couple days she was negotiating with the tenant on our behalf. Removing tenants for non-payment is devastating for both parties, so Marianne was firm, but also kind and compassionate. She was able to repossess the home within 15 days, without having to go through the process of an eviction, which was our goal from the beginning. Communication was always very quick, clear, and concise. My husband and I had so many questions since it was our first time going through something like this. She has a very extensive knowledge of real estate, the laws involved, and in general how tenants tend to behave, but she was also very patient and thorough when advising us. As someone that runs her own business and manages 100+ properties, Marianne is obviously a very busy person. I expected her staff to communicate with us after the tenant vacated the property. However, Marianne was our point of contact the entire time, which was very impressive. Marianne did not collect a penny from us during the entire tenant removal process, which really speaks to her confidence in her abilities as a property manager and her generosity as well. She is also well connected in the real estate space as all the references she provided to prepare the property for the next tenant were excellent. Our home was on the market for less than 2 weeks when she presented 2 solid potential tenants. Given how smoothly everything went up until this point, we were completely confident in letting her decide which tenant would suit us best. When we finally got to meet her in person, she told us that she takes care of all her properties like they are her own and after witnessing her work, it's clear that the service she provides is a direct reflection of her genuine passion for real estate and helping people. If you are looking to rent out your property, we absolutely recommend working with a property management group, but specifically, Marianne. Thank you Marianne. We appreciate everything that you have done for us, and we look forward to working with you for a long time!

I've previously worked with two other property managers, but Aventis stands head and shoulders above the rest. I've read some of the negative Yelp reviews, which seem to stem from particular tenant grievances aired publicly. As an owner, I'm delighted with Aventis Management. Many property managers are content to simply collect rent and send texts to tenants. Crystal, however, rolls up her sleeves and handles the tough tasks--managing evictions, attending hearings, and staying fully involved in every detail. She is extremely knowledgeable about tenant regulations, local market dynamics, property marketing, and managing difficult tenant situations. What sets Crystal apart is her positive attitude and reassuring smile, even in challenging times. I always leave our discussions feeling more confident and in control. I highly recommend Aventis Management for your Bay Area property--reach out before Crystal gets too busy!

If you have a rental property in Brentwood, do not use this company. The owner, John Fink, has…read moremoved to Auburn and is rarely available to show your property. His handyman is highly incompetent and charges high prices for shoddy or incomplete work. John overpriced my rental resulting in a delay in getting a new tenant, refused to obtain proof of all income and told me the previous tenant left the place "immaculate". Even though professional cleaning of the windows and carpets is required in the contract, he didn't require the vacating tenant to complete these items. I've spend over $700 to replace screens, wash the windows, replace blinds and other items that should have been paid for by the tenant. Beware, this company does what's easiest for them, not what's best for their client.

We must have looked at over 30 houses together and I never felt any pressure to make a decision or felt that John was frustrated with how picky I was. What I enjoyed most about working with John was his knowledge of the area. He really looked out for my entire family - helping us choose the right school district and a great neighborhood. There were a few houses that I considered that would have been a mistake and John was confident enough to be firm in his opinions and guide me into making the right decision. Not only was John a great real estate agent, but he has also become a family friend. When our moving truck was delayed he showed up with a few boxes of necessities including pots and pans, blow-up mattresses, and linens. That really helped us through not a tough time. Thanks John! If you are looking for a new home or considering selling your current home you will not find a better option than John Fink.
