    Should the same entity be allowed to manage accounts, impose financial penalties, and act as the debt collector on those same accounts?
    Steph J.

    In the State of California HOA's have a statatory limit of 20 Days to reply to Stirling Davis Act Document requests. I made a request on NOVEMBER 24 and below are my results. THIS BETTER MOTOVATE THE FOLKS AT OPTIMIUM TO GET ME THESE DOCUMENTS NOW. BEFORE I START POSTING EVERTHING IS THIS CLEAR??? I have been extremely disappointed with my experience dealing with Optimium Professional Property Management, owned by Debra Kovach. Since November 24, I have made at least 12 separate requests--by email and follow-up communications--for association records that homeowners are entitled to receive under California's Davis-Stirling Act. As of today, those documents have still not been provided, nor has there been a clear explanation for the continued delay. What is most frustrating is not just the lack of documents, but the lack of responsiveness and accountability. Requests are acknowledged sporadically, deadlines pass, and no meaningful progress is made. This has forced unnecessary follow-ups and wasted significant time. Homeowners rely on property management companies to act professionally, communicate clearly, and comply with basic statutory obligations. Unfortunately, my experience with Optimium Professional Property Management has fallen well short of those expectations. I am sharing this review so other homeowners and HOA boards can make an informed decision and understand what they may encounter when trying to obtain routine association records.

    My name is John Horton I live at 2332 Sunningdale Dr., Tustin CA 92782 . 7 months ago there was a slab leak that came from my Nextdoor neighbor's house that leaked though my wall into my kitchen. This resulted in my kitchen being completely dismantled, weeks which turned in to months of testing for mold and miss communication between contractors and vendors resulted in me being without a kitchen or an inhabitable place to live. This all started on July 11th 2025, it's now January 21st 2026 and my kitchen is still not intact. The Property manager Lisa Chastain is completely incompetent!!! She use to take my phone calls but now it goes directly to voicemail. Really unprofessional. If I had a choice I would never use this company.

    This company is criminal! They somehow tapped into my main water supply and refused to repair a leak that was caused by their plants on community property. Then they had a plumber repair it. The plumber never came into my property let alone into my home. Yet they are charging me for THEIR plumber! They actually committed theft by going into my account (set up for automatic payment of our ever increasing dues) and stole the money. The fence between my and my neighbors property is falling down. We both have dogs. My dogs are small and easily get through to their property. Yet, despite this all being on our PRIVATELY OWNED PROPERTIES, they have denied our requests to repair WITH THEIR FENCING GUY AND AT OUR EXPENSE!!!!!!!! Mind you not a single portion of the fence is in community property. They have sent me notices weekly alleging various violations. They set up hearing dates that I cannot attend BECAUSE I WORK AND HAVE A LIFE! They are chalking up bogus crimes for non-existent violations including leaving my garbage cans out for more than 12 hours. Our pick up is Friday. I believe this happened once or twice when I went away for the weekend. God forbid! They have had my car towed from in front of my house despite the fact that it was "safe listed." I have two cars including a Jeep. They do not both fit in my tiny "two" car garage which is also our my only place for storage. Thus one car has to be parked on the street. Ironically the entire board somehow has permits to do just that. Why do we even pay dues? I am going to file a police report for all money that they stole from my account and in addition, take them to court for harassment and a return of all stolen funds. I own my house or I would just move. I'm sick of the peoples republic of California and this company is the personification of a reason why this state is going down hill.

They charged me $5,110 in escrow fees, which is nearly $1,700 more than the industry standard based on my home's sale price. The fee breakdown included junk charges like a "messenger fee" (no messenger used), "audit fee," "1099 fee" (no 1099 applies to my transaction), and an outrageous $250 notary fee plus a $100 travel fee, despite the property and their office being in the same county--and no offer made for me to sign in person. I wasn't allowed to keep copies of the documents I signed. My real estate agents were never given the escrow estimate or fee sheet to review, which seems intentional to avoid scrutiny. Only by taking a photo of the fee breakdown myself were my agents able to get involved--and when they questioned the charges, Golden Coast offered me only a $300 "credit." The buyer's side received a larger refund after objecting, which speaks volumes. This company operates with zero transparency, charges well above market, and refuses to justify its fees. Their practices feel deliberately deceptive and predatory--especially when buyers and sellers are under pressure during escrow. Avoid this company. Work with an escrow firm that is upfront, fair, and professional. I've reported this to the California Attorney General and the Better Business Bureau.

    These scammers have been harassing me for years. They couldn't care less about the "do not mail"…read morelist. Between two houses. I've repeatedly asked to be removed from their scam list - called, emailed, everything. I got one guy on the phone who was apparently in his car, told me "throw it away and 'f off'" (whole words uttered). I get their scam card with a picture of one house sent to a different one. The one time I got through to Matt Mutton (the scammer owner) was through his linkedin (he will not respond to his email) and I kept bothering him until he responded, he claimed he removed me from his list but did not. This has been going on for years. This latest time I emailed them, got blocked right away. So instead of taking 20 seconds to remove my info, they blocked my email. They'd rather continue to waste paper and postage harassing me than take the time to remove my info. How's that for ethical, folks? Don't take it from me; read about Matt Mutton - you can find stuff on line about him - let's just say this is not a good person in any way. Read about CEO Mike Osborne. Also lots of pretty awful stuff about these scammers on line. Check out their BBB profile if you really want to see how immoral these people are. It's super simple, folks - if they can't take twenty seconds to remove someone from their scam list - why in the world would you trust them with the most important thing in your life - your house? Do you think these are honorable people? Ethical? Not in this or any other dimension. They are absolute scammers who ignore the "do not mail" list and harass people. They will cuss at you on the phone rather than simple remove your info. They will hang up on you. They will not respond to your emails at all. Read about them online. Look at their BBB profile. Tells you everything. There are honest people in the real estate business looking to buy your home - or work with you. These are absolutely not them. Don't take it from me, read all the other bad reviews of these scammers. Read other reviews how proud these people are to scam people and harass people. It's a badge of honor for them to do this. They are the worst of the worst. Again, thank God for yelp where honest people can point out the scammers like these people - avoid these people like the plague.

I called and spoke with a person who IDed himself as Rick Alvarado. I told him I didn't appreciate a likeness of my home on this correspondence. He justified the card by saying it got me to call him, which was its purpose. Additionally, Rick Alvarado claimed he receives hundreds of calls just like mine, but every so often they do receive a solicitation. Rick Alvarado claimed this justifies their boorish behavior. This postcard is highly unprofessional. Any company which uses this sort of tactic is definitely not worthy of my business and I would question how they conduct their business. I would never employ them to sell or list my home!
