Regardless of what that person's habits or lifestyle just happen to be, -- they could be smokers, burn horrific incense, listen to loud music, stay up until 5AM - you have to live with them, because it's not two separate dwellings but one two- story home. The upsides are that the property seems safe and all of the staff are helpful and professional.

My history with Rubin Properties dates back to 2003, when I first became the President of my HOA…read more My building had been happily using them since previous to that year, but when I became President, I experienced all the reasons why. I grew to become particularly impressed with one of the company's property managers. She was quick to respond to my emails (most times, within several minutes), and would meet my high standards of detail orientedness by copying all involved parties, with every single detail answered, checked, included, balanced, and unquestionable confirmation that the job was DONE. She impressed me even more a few years later when one of our condo owners discovered a leak and we had to do mold remediation. Our insurance company denied the claim, and it was only after this property manager pushed and appealed that they finally conceded and covered ALL the costs incurred by this issue. She personally saved my HOA around $15k - a HUGE win. She also re-negotiated the contract for one of our monthly bills, saving us $1,700 per year. My Board was super impressed with her email on that subject, because we didn't even realize that contract was negotiable. Fast forward a few years, and who do you think bought & took over Rubin Properties completely? My favorite highly detailed property manager, who already had a history of saving us money and providing excellent customer service: Heather Miller. Since taking ownership of the company, Heather modernized with an upgraded website, automatic dues payments, & online access for my Board to view copies of any invoice or payment, anytime. She has used her own high standards as a baseline & has mentored and taught her current team well; all the property managers on her team have consistently given me & my Board excellent support in times of emergency or routine maintenance, for years now. I know that Heather drives her team hard to support clients' needs - and she also rewards their hard work with lunches, dinners and team-building escape room challenges (nice, right?!). Plus during this pandemic, keeping each team member safe & well has been a priority. It makes me even happier to know that Rubin Properties consistently does such a great job for my HOA and our building AND it's a woman-owned business with a healthy workplace culture that values their employees. My Board and I count on Heather, Cesar & the whole team for: Emergency response Routine maintenance Contract negotiation Conflict resolution between owners and/ or tenants Excellent vendor referrals Budgeting and detailed statements Advising us in hairy situations Annual tax prep Keeping our HOA practices legal and compassionate Special project advising & coordinating HOA-related legal advice ...and so much more The icing on this cupcake for me personally is knowing I can trust Heather's opinions when I need to make decisions, or when she guides my Board as we rewrite our CC&Rs. To me, knowing that a strong moral compass exists at the core of our property management company's ownership is priceless.

My experience with Comuneo Services has been extremely frustrating. Maintenance requests and other…read moreissues I have reported routinely go without meaningful action for extended periods of time, requiring repeated follow-ups just to get a response. The biggest problem is not simply that individual issues take time--it is the apparent lack of accountability and follow-through. Residents should not have to repeatedly contact management to get basic maintenance and common-area problems addressed. Based on my experience, I would not recommend Comuneo Services to anyone looking for responsive and effective property management. Management needs to do a much better job of communicating, following through on requests, and actually resolving problems rather than simply acknowledging them.

I am writing to highly recommend the Gordon Team Realty to any investor looking to build or expand…read moretheir real estate portfolio. My husband and I recently worked with William Gordon to acquire a rental property in Bakersfield, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. William pointed out structural details and neighborhood trends that we could have missed. He was always a text or call away, regardless of the hour. WIlliam never pressured us to make an offer and instead focused on finding the right "fit." When we finally found the right property, his negotiation skills ensured we got the house at a fair price despite several competing offers. The entire team kept the closing process seamless and organized. If you want an agent who treats your investment as if it were their own, look no further than the Gordon Team Realty.

My wife and I hired the Gordon Team to sell our home, and our experience was extremely…read moredisappointing. From the beginning, we felt rushed through the process, and we didn't feel our concerns were taken seriously. My wife Christine and I were unhappy with the quality of the listing photos and believed important details about my property were missing or inaccurate. When we raised these concerns, I felt communication became increasingly difficult rather than collaborative. As the situation progressed, our working relationship completely broke down. What should have been a straightforward home sale became an incredibly stressful experience for my wife and I. This review reflects my personal experience. If you're considering working with this brokerage, I recommend asking detailed questions about the listing process, contract terms, communication expectations, and how concerns will be handled if they arise. The team values were not as expected, the pure pressure to take a first offer was unrealistic and we weren't represented in good faith. I undoubtedly cannot recommend this company based on my experience.
