Natalie Swanson is a racist and prejudiced person. I am a brown man in the early 30s. I went to an…read moreopen house hosted by Natalie. When I walked in Natalie was talking to other visitors. Natalie stopped me from checking the house out and did not let me go upstairs. She made me wait for a few minutes while she completed her conversation with the others and then asked a dude (probably her assistant) to accompany me upstairs. The dude gave me creepy vibes and was keeping an eye on me all the time as he walked me around. It seemed like Natalie thought I might be there to steal as I walked into the open house myself. How racially motivated and prejudiced of her! Note that this was NOT an expensive multi million dollar home; this was a townhouse and had very few inexpensive items lying around. It was extremely rude and condescending of her to not let me walk around the townhouse by myself while I noticed that other visitors were able to walk around.

She was the first agent to respond to my request to see a home, and got us in the very next day. We knew we could count on her to not only respond quickly, but to provide the right information we needed to be successful. She is very knowledgeable about homes, the home buying process, and the East Bay. When it came down to purchasing our home, we were up against 6 other offers and I can't think of another agent I would have wanted to partner with on this purchase. Thank you so much for all you did for us Natalie!

I came in around 3:00 pm to drop off 2 checks, she took them in and got them to where I needed to go so our deal could keep it's timeline. Then I had to comeback and drop off a 2nd check too. They were able to process this one before 5:00 pm as well and get it sent in. While there both times, Alex and the rest of the staff checked on me multiple times to make sure I was helped and that was nice. Usually when you go to places of business now, you can sit there for a long time before someone even greets you, and most of the time you have to go up to them to check on what you're there for. I recommend Chicago Title for escrow/title purposes for any agent in the area looking.

From the beginning, Ben has been responsive to all my questions/concerns and has always been honest and upfront about what I needed to do and what I should expect from him as far as costs and services. He was able to find tenants within a few weeks and kept me updated on what was going on every week. His costs are reasonable and comparable to the other property management companies in the area. If you need an honest property manager with no BS, I would recommend Ben. I've been on the east coast for 2 months and everything has been great.

And he told us that he could manage the property for us. He told us he had a cleaning crew, wanted to do a walk through with us and then have us sign a contract. Since we were already overseas, I asked my agent to contact him and scheduled the walk-through with him. My agent drove all the way from Albany to meet him for the walk-through. He seemed nice and respectful during it. However, right after, he said he had to turn us down because he's too busy and he just signed up some new clients. If he had let us know earlier that he was too busy to take us, that would have been completely understandable. However, he did it in such unprofessional way where it just wasted my agent's time.

Originally, I thought I would have a difficult time dealing with a homeowner's association. I was…read moreworking in the capacity of a real estate broker representing a seller in one of the development that NAM managed. My seller had many issues but none due to the management company. They were issues he created upon himself. Although the association was not always able to clear up the matters I tried to help my seller with, they were the most helpful team of people I have dealt with. Each time I called into their office they would take the information I had questions on and present. Some responses were favorable and some were not. Again not due to the association. In addition I most say they were always available to assist me. I can recall several times April missed her lunch break to help me over the phone. She did not have to but she did. I really would like to thank each of them in their Livermore office for everything they did to help me and the seller. Cassandra Chambers, Broker and Owner Like Home Realty, Fairfield, CA.

Here is an email that our new management team sent to NAM with regards to the transition. Not very…read moreprofessional. They held us hostage from the moment we gave them the notice that we were terminating the contract. Dear Lydia, We are in receipt of your message indicating that your company will not release Association records until outstanding invoices are paid in full. We must remind you that under California Civil Code §§ 5210 and 5230, all books, records, and documents belong to the Association, not the management company. Withholding records -- including financials, contracts, owner ledgers, governing documents, and access credentials -- impedes the Board's ability to fulfill its fiduciary duties and may be deemed a violation of state law. Any billing dispute should be addressed through proper invoicing and collections processes. It is not appropriate or lawful to withhold Association property as leverage for payment. We are formally requesting that all records, digital access, and physical property belonging to Livermore Northwood be transferred to xxxxx Management no later than end of business, April 2, 2025. These documents are imperative to our ability to fulfill our responsibilities to the Association and ensure continuity of service for the residents. We sincerely hope this matter can be resolved quickly and professionally so we can all move forward in the best interest of the community. We are sympathetic to your desire to be made whole, and as the new managing agent, we want to assure you that we will work with the Board and make every good-faith effort to help resolve any outstanding financial matters -- including the $680.60 in question. However, the way this situation is being handled is not only detrimental to our ability to do our job, but also involves the withholding of Association property that does not belong to your firm. By blocking access to critical records and resources, you are actively hindering our performance, which negatively impacts both xxxx and the community we are here to support. All of this -- over a balance of $680.60 -- is creating unnecessary disruption. This can often feel like a small industry, and we often cross paths as colleagues. Transitions like this should reflect professionalism and collaboration, not obstruction. We sincerely hope we can move forward in a way that honors those shared standards. Finally, we were disappointed by your statement that your firm will no longer respond. Open, professional communication is essential -- especially during periods of transition that directly impact community operations and resident well-being. We hope to resolve this matter quickly and without escalation, and we look forward to your prompt confirmation of the record release.

A Berkshire Hathaway realtor, Ofelia Hopson, was showing the home to her clients. When she saw us she bee-lined to us and started to berate us for being there.

Instead of taking the diplomatic approach and asking us to kindly wait outside while she finishes up ,since she was there first, she literally scoots us out like security. After later confronting her about her unprofessionalism, she claimed she was having a long day. Ms. Hobson if you are whining about having a long Sunday, you are definitely in the wrong business.

In addition, he found the perfect one-level condo for me to move into in Livermore. The whole process could not have gone smoother. I would definitely recommend Jake to any of my friends or family.
