As a law student moving to the bay area from elsewhere in the state, I had limited knowledge of the area. So I was pretty fortunate to connect with Edward from Preferred Community Management, as he pointed me towards a property that fit all my needs, from living space to proximity to the school campus. The few times I needed clarification on something, or had any questions about anything, Edward was always prompt and professional in his answers. I'd definitely recommend checking out their available offerings for apartment living. read more

6/16/2023 3 pm - I called this company during office hours but no one picked up the phone. I left numerous messages about an urgent situation but no one called back. This is very poor customer service and a response to an urgent situation. I need a call back please. My number has been left on your multiple messages. You have a building safety code violation that you have to address urgently. In apt #1842 Amelia Way, Santa Clara, CA 95050, you have a carport in the back. That particular carport is going to collapse any moment. This problem was reported to you in February 2023. It is now June 2023. Santa Clara Code Enforcement has been notified of this issue as well. The entire back wall of this carport is cracked and collapsing. One support pole is bending under the roof weight. The issue is either wood dry rot, or cabinets too heavy on back wall, or flimsy support columns, or roof too heavy. On the other side of this carport is a public parking lot and pool and park. This is a heavily used parking lot and a collapse of this structure will damage property and endanger lives of residents and public on both sides. Code enforcement has been notified. You have not responded to calls. Look forward to citations and judicial injunctions to get this fixed immediately. You will now pay fines and you had better get this fixed fast. The owner of this property will be notified as well. If there is any loss of life or property damage, your property management company will be liable for it. There could be criminal negligence penalties since you were notified since Feb 2023 and chose to ignore it. If this is the way you run properties, god help us all. Fix this issue or you will be sued in a class action suit for loss of parking spaces on the other side. read more

Edward Disho was always prompt, friendly, and professional. He was a great property manager.

No words can describe how much Edward has helped us find our home. Edward from the begging her of our hunt to the end of our lease has been a wonderful person to work with. He responds timely with our emails and helps with coordination on who can help us when there is a problem with our rental. We definitely hate leaving California, thanks to Edward part of the reason why we miss California so much is that he helped us find a home that was clean, in a good neighborhood, maintained efficiently and provided my family and i everlasting memories! Thanks property management. Also the maintenance man for the Antique Court house is the best !! Very friendly, super helpful and kind! read more

Rented an apartment managed by Ed for 3 years, he was always friendly + responsive, and paying rent through appfolio made it easy to set up autopay as well as submit fix tickets for the apartment read more

I have had the pleasure of working with Edward Disho for almost 9 years now. Edward is a great guy to work with, extremely easy going and very responsive. I always hear back in a timely manner. I know if there is an issue, it will be taken care of almost immediately. Edward is both professional and trustworthy. I would not trust my house hunting needs to anyone else. If I ever need to relocate, Edward Disho will be the one I call. I highly recommend you work with Edward on any of your rental needs! read more

I rented a studio apartment in downtown Los Gatos with PCM for two years and had a phenomenal experience. Edward was always prompt, kind, and helpful with any questions or needs I had. I would recommend their properties to any of my friends or family! read more

This review is long overdue. I was a tenant for a year at one of Preferred Community Management's Los Gatos properties and I have never had a better experience. The property was beautiful, clean, and well-maintained. The rent was exceptionally fair for the area, and if I ever had any questions, the property manager, Ed Disho, was always available. At some point, I hope to find my way back to the area. However, for those of you looking for a place to rent, I highly recommend you start here. read more

We lived at a property for almost 2 years in Santa Clara that PCM managed. Our manager was Ed, who was extremely responsive and quick to resolve issues. The online portal they use is also a huge plus and makes payments and maintenance a breeze. We only moved out because we needed a bigger place. Given the chance I would choose a house managed by PCM again. read more

I was a tenant of a property that this Company manages for about two years. My primary of contact in this company was Edward Disho. Throughout my stay living in this apartment, Edward treated me with respect and accommodated my needs in a professional manner. read more

Our experience with Preferred Community Management, primarily Edward has been great!! Edward is extremely helpful, professional and prompt to solve any problems that arise. He is very caring to any concerns raised by the tenants. We've had a smooth transition into our new home thanks to him! A big thank you to the whole team! :) read more

We worked for many years with Edward Disho with another property management company and pleased when he moved to Preferred he kept using De Anza Appliance as a vendor partner. He provides clear, succinct work orders and is incredibly responsive to estimate approval. If you're a tenant your maintenance requests will be handled in a timely, professional manner as an owner know that Edward has the best interest of your properties longevity in mind. read more

My family rented an apartment from PCM (Preferred Community Management) in November 2018. Staff was really professional. The pictures they put on the ad were clear and showed the apt from the inside and outside. They do e-sign which is sooo much comfortable and saved us some money on going to to the office. Edward (one of their agents) was really nice and helped us by staying on touch whenever we needed any help. Once we create a maintenance request, he would contact us before and after maintenance making sure everything works in the best way. I just shared my experience and I highly recommend them :) read more

I hope our relationship with these guys will be last a long time. I've just wanted to leave some good words about their job, especially during this hard time. At first, I should mention we were looking for a new apartment and were moving during "not really good period of time for this" (shelter-in-place). However their professionalism and care about safety was at the good level (we kept the distance, ware the masks, I saw them sanitizing surfaces ...). They were always available by email/sms/phone and ready to answer any of our questions. And all the issues we had after we moved in to the completely renovated and fresh apartments were resolved immediately and at the great quality level. We even didn't assume that reaction can be so fast. I especially want to emphasize the great work of maintenance service (we got a service and help even at the weekend). It's so important to feel a support and get all necessary maintenance from your landlord and their service team (contractors) especially during this uncertain times! Thank you Edward, Jennifer, Jesus and everyone who have to do their job at these hard times. read more

My wife and I were residents in a Campbell property managed by Edward Disho. We had some repairs that were needed that came to our attention during our time there, and Edward was always quick to respond with a solution. We could not have been happier with him as a property manager, and had we not relocated because of an employment opportunity we would certainly have stayed as his clients. We could not be happier with a property manager. read more

Edward Disho was the property manager of the 2 bedroom apartment in Willow Glen San Jose that my wife and I lived at for three years. It was our first place upon relocating to the Bay area from Los Angeles, and we couldn't have asked for a nicer and more helpful person to be the liason between us and the property owner. He was always very responsive and efficient with any requests for repairs, and since we were new to the area, he was very helpful in suggesting vendors regarding such things as where to go, what to see. Professional, without being too business-like, and very personable. It was a joy being a tenant there. read more

This company managed the property we were living in. When we moved in one of the screen doors was full of holes, we asked if it could be replaced. "Sure", they said. It took them three months to finally replace the screen door. In addition, we started noticing mold in a couple of spots around the unit and informed the company. Repeated calls and emails on the subject were ignored. We were happy to leave soon after our one year lease was up. read more

I do not recommend anyone renting an apartment from this company. I lived with my exgirlfriend in one of their properties that they managed. We broke up and I left the apartment. My name wasn't on the lease and they still sued me. There is no judgement against me in the court and they don't have any records that I own them money. I kindly called to ask them to write the court that there is nothing against me. The manager responded in a very unprofessional rude manner and said "well we don't know for fact that there is nothing against you and we wont write a letter to court to help you clear your record off the courts records in order to buy a house". What a horrible inhumane company is this that doesn't want to help the tenants to buy a house. I don't recommend this place at all. My current manager is helping me save some money by keeping the rent low so I can buy a house. This company is horrible. My lawyer is going to deal with them. read more

I had a great experience working with Edward Disho over the last three years from start to finish. He was consistent in addressing the needs of our rental property in a timely manner and with professionalism. Any concern or request was acknowledged promptly and dealt with fairly. Although my rent was increased each year due to market forces, I knew our building would be well cared for. It should also be reassuring to know that security deposits are refunded in full with the proper amount of cleaning and attention to detail by the tenant. I have no doubt that Edward's future tenants will be pleased with their experience as well. read more

I worked with Edward Disho while my family was renting a condo in San Jose for about 2 years. Edward is one of the most professional, fair, and responsive real estate / property professionals that i have worked with in the past decade or so. I would be happy to work with him again in the future. read more

Edward Disho helped me rent a nice 1BD/1BA apartment in Santa Clara . I really enjoyed my stay in Santa Clara for one year . Edward is really helpful and the apartments are in a good shape . Any maintenance requests are completed within a day . I would strongly recommend getting in touch with Edward and working with him . read more

My daughter was renting a unit through preferred when she was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma with two months left on her lease. Contacted the property manager and informed him. No comments. Stayed until just over one month left and was up to date on rent. Preferred just sent her final billing on deposit and charged her half a months rent for breaking lease. Gee thanks, she didn't have enough issues with chemo, just keep her money. The they illegally charged her for carpet cleaning just for icing on cake. No compassion, no understanding, just out to make a buck. Great job being heartless and looking to make money wherever you can. Not recommending these jerks to anyone. Hoping other renters see this and don't let them charge for carpet cleaning no matter what your lease says, according to California law carpet cleaning is not something that can be deducted from a deposit. My daughters contact was Edward disho. Good luck see you in court. read more
