Sally sends a nice man named John to fix, he says he only does basic drywall and paint work. The doors are warped shut. The light switch for the bathroom is through my toddlers bedroom ??? The bedroom doors wouldn't close either. John got them to close. The kitchen faucet is completely broken. John said he would bring a new one by, and both times he left with that promise incomplete. The stair molding was incorrectly installed and pops off when using the stairs. Finish nails poke out on every step. My toddler knows no going up and down the steps without his shoes on. The garage has been broken for ages according to the neighbor. We inherited this. I cannot stand our "Home Services" agent for the complete lack of care or concern. I've been nice, I've been mean. I've given a 3 month notice that I'm leaving after one of two years. She doesn't care at all- she's keeping half the deposit. Her casual lack of a walk thru was to her benefit- not ours. I'm calling around on my day off tomorrow stating: If you're an attorney who wants to fight this for us for $3,000 that Berkshire Hathaway plans to keep from us, you can have the money. Just don't let them have it. We have SUFFERED as a young family in the worst place we've lived in LA... Avoid Sally. And avoid Berkshire Hathaway Home Services.

I want to share my sincere appreciation for Jimmy Lam at Lotus Escrow for the exceptional care and…read moreprofessionalism he showed throughout our recent transaction. As the daughter of the seller, I was closely involved in the closing process, and Jimmy truly went above and beyond. He took the time to thoroughly walk us through the escrow signing documents, ensuring we understood everything before moving forward. What stood out most was his willingness to make necessary corrections to the vesting/title exactly as the buyer had requested before filing--rather than simply relying on an amended letter. This level of diligence mattered greatly to me, as I needed to see those corrections reflected clearly throughout the documents prior to signing. Coming from a background as a paralegal, I understand how critical it is for documents and contracts to be accurate and properly executed. Issues that are overlooked can create serious problems down the line. Jimmy respected that perspective and never pressured us to rush. Instead, he honored our request to carefully review every document, giving us the time and space we needed to ensure everything was in my mother's best interest. I also want to acknowledge Janici Pan, who served not only as our agent but as a true advocate. She consistently ensured that every step of the process aligned with what was best for my mother. We deeply value her commitment and her belief that we are stewards of what belongs to God, and that such responsibilities should be handled with integrity and care. Overall, we are incredibly grateful for the professionalism, patience, and integrity shown by both Jimmy and Janici. Their attention to detail and respect for our concerns gave us confidence and peace of mind throughout the entire process.

Absolutely horrible!…read more This company/owner managed the condo building where I own a unit, so I have first hand experience dealing with this business. He is irresponsive and slow in repair, disrespectful and made up lies to cover his mistake. Here are the evidence. 1. In spring 2017, there was a plumbing leak where water was pouring from the ceiling in my master bedroom. I called his emergency number, nobody picked up the phone. I emailed him the photo and videos of the pour, he didn't reply until two days later. Don't forget, that was an active leak of pouring water, not slow dripping. However, he claimed and boasted he can be reached 24/7 is emergency maintenance. His emergency number never ever worked, so as his regular number, at least in my attempts to reach him. 2. He had my name spelled wrong in all account statements and emails for 3.5 years. When I called it out, he did not apologize, didn't acknowledge the mistake, but lied by saying the wrong name is on the title of the property. The title I have clearly shows the correct spelling of my name. I asked him to show me the title that has wrong name, he didn't reply. Stay away from him.

In my experience, the way the company presented itself before we signed the management contract felt noticeably different from how things went once they were actually managing our community. Before hiring, communication felt positive and accommodating, but after the contract was in place, their responsiveness and overall attitude toward homeowners seemed to change in a way I found disappointing. Work orders were sometimes delayed, disregarded, or not completed. Communication was not always punctual, and at times interactions with homeowners felt argumentative rather than collaborative. I also had concerns about financial management. From my perspective, some contractor bids appeared higher than expected, and the accounting we received did not always feel clear or transparent. This left me uncomfortable with how funds might be allocated. Important due-diligence notes for boards considering this company (or any management firm): Carefully review the wording of any proposed repair scopes and contract terms. I encountered line items that felt vague to me. Do your own diligence: ask for detailed breakdowns of materials, labor, and contingencies. Obtain multiple competitive bids before approving repairs, and compare like-for-like scopes. Request regular, easy-to-follow financial reports and ask clarifying questions until everything is clear. These are my personal observations and opinions based on direct experience, and others may have different experiences. For any community evaluating management services, I recommend asking detailed questions up front, requiring transparent documentation, and closely reviewing contracts, scopes, and financials before moving forward.

I cannot express how wonderful our experience was with our realtor Diane Hatfield at Podley. When…read morewe moved from out of state two years ago, we went through two realtors just trying to find a rental home. One first realtor was incredibly flaky - the other realtor was a little green. I gave up and ended up renting an apartment on my own in Monrovia. Over this past summer we began a home search again only this time with the intention to purchase. We found a home in Monrovia and loved it. The seller's realtor ended up representing us too. What a fiasco that was! Apparently the house had already been been technically sold and we were merely a back up offer in case financing for the original buyer didn't go through. We didn't learn that for several weeks. Based on a friend's referral we contacted Diane. What a completely different experience from the other realtors. Like night and day. Diane helped us narrow our home selection by asking the right questions and understanding our needs. We searched for several months and Diane remained patient and informative. Even when I became stressed by the process Diane helped talk me through it. Yesterday we closed on our new home. It was the easiest home purchase I have ever had. Diane met us at escrow as we signed our papers. I've never had a realtor do that before. She has a great abundance of connections in the community for repairs. Diane was even willing to help me search for more eco- friendly options on the termite front. I really appreciated that! PS We used East West Bank for financing the mortgage and they also were also easy to work with. Much better than the big banks that sell off your mortgage the day after the paperwork goes through.
