Al Dodimead at ACD Realty along with John Niblock and Samantha Sparks is a very scammy company. Al…read moreprovided a signed agreement to follow at the beginning of the lease, and stated I could stay for a year (or perhaps more). But instead started selling the home 5 months (!!!) after living there. This is very clearly not what we agreed to. We were sent a document asking us to leave early by John Niblock and Samantha Sparks. However, apparently Al Dodimead did not know about this? Which makes no sense, as the property manager, Al, should know what management is occuring to the property. Not only that, but Al started making different statements after the exit inspection. Where they claimed there were "damages" by having trash in the trash bin on the day the city takes trash. If you're a contractor, just walk away from any business. Don't expect your invoices to be paid properly.

I rented a house with Bill being our lease manager. His customer service was appauling. As a 19…read moreyear old renting my first house, I was astonished by how taken advantage of I felt. He and the landlord had some sort of power trip over how they could control our unit and what went on. He defended the landlord when she installed a secuirty camera into our "commonspace" inside the front door (which wasn't actually a commonspace because it was made illegal by an inspection done by the city, so technically the camera was in our unit). We did not get our $900 security deposit back after a single peice of one blind in the bedroom was damaged. Honestly, he is the single most hated person in my life- along with that psycho of a landlady. If you want to do business with scammers and people who dont give a shit about you, your safety, your money or your unit, use ACD realty. Otherwise, go find a company that actually cares about your needs as a first time renter, teenager and single woman. Bill, you are seriously a fraud. Go to hell.

Okay so I usually avoid paying for services I don't need, and I thought I could get away with "for…read morerent by owner" style renting through CL and other boards. I was trying to rent out my semi-luxury Vancouver condo but finding a good tenant turned out to be very hard. 5 Star tenants are not nearly as plentiful as tire-kickers who just waste your time. After losing two months rent I decided to try a professional property management firm. I had a business card from Orca Realty - Michael - from when I was renting a unit in the Wall Center.. so I gave him a call to see if they could help. Michael and Petr were awesome, and cool guys! They helped me to create a list of similar homes with the same statistics, and break down the similarities between them and mine. We looked over all the details such as amenities, parking, storage, neighborhood. As my condo is in downtown Vancouver, I can get decent rent . Another benefit of using Orca was they already had a large pool of AAA renters to look over, they get a lot of LUXURY houses in West Vancouver, so they know a lot of high profile renters etc. Long story short I signed over my condo to them and BOOM in 1 month they had it rented for me, with the extra parking spot. I travel a lot, so they can deal with tenant issues for me. Yeah it costs more, but it's worth it and these guys will go the extra mile for you.

She was so thoughtful and caring, considering he is 90 years old. She was very attentive, during a blackout she came and checked on him. That amongst so many other times she was able to help us out.

Would recommend her to anyone seeking a property management professional.

My wife was communicating through one of their agents Tasha Panico to schedule a viewing for a home they were managing. They had agreed to show us the place on 6 PM on a Wednesday (6 days ago). Tasha had asked to move the date earlier to Monday at 6 PM but my wife was working a late shift at the hospital and didn't have a chance to reply to her email until the following day where my wife confirmed 6 PM would be okay (Tuesday). Tasha explained she was busy that Tuesday and left it at that in the reply email. We of course assumed the viewing would go ahead for Wednesday at 6 PM and my wife emailed back apologizing about not getting back sooner and emailed back to confirm again 6 PM on Wednesday. She did not get a reply back but we did not think much of it at the time. We got to the viewing early on the Wednesday, sent one more email and also text messaged her that we were there, still no reply. We phoned her once at 6 PM but still no answer and then waited around and still nothing. Unfortunately we never got another answer from Tasha explaining what happened even though there was never any indication to us that plans had changed. The unit was subsequently rented so our interpretation is that she felt there was no point in showing us the rental however a simple message telling us so would've sufficed and would have saved us the time involved in making our way down to the viewing and waiting around. Again I hope this is a one off or there were extenuating circumstances but I feel that as a professional organization, communication is very important, and we felt there was a communication breakdown dealing with Tasha, who had been a good communicator up until that point.
