On the bright side, they helped organize our financial records better, and seemed to ensure better compliance with state condo laws, but that wasn't enough to justify retaining their property management services in the long term. I was relieved when our HOA switched to a new property management firm. Can't agree more with the other critical reviews I see here.

Hard to put it all in to words but this property management company is the worst bunch of lying,…read morelazy and incompetent people I've ever encountered. Expect months of delays in responding to your requests, followed by no action or follow through, cherry on topped by them telling you (the customer) that whatever was needed or requested has been resolved when there has been no action taken to support it, plus you can still see the unresolved issues. After a while of treating you poorly you get to move on to a forced raise that is backed up with threats of more expensive costs if the raise is not approved in full ("don't pay us this increase and we'll make you pay a third party to support your special assessment" even though supporting special assessments was in our contract). Once the strong arming finishes up then be expected to be prompted for holiday bonuses - given the lack of service and treatment of your customers it has to be embarrassing to then ask for a bonus, doesn't it? If your property needs any larger than normal projects, expect to pay another company to handle it - it's a fun way to pay for things at least twice, all at the same time. And if you ask for support getting an interest bearing account, be prepared to have TRF tell you and your association the moneys in an interest bearing account only to find out it isn't, only then to be told it's somehow your fault. It's actually crazy!Lastly, when it comes to sending contractors out to your property don't expect much and when you find yourself being asked to pay for services multiples times, be ready to show the proposal of work (sow) to your property manager more than 5 times before she reads it and then follows up with the contractor which is only because the contractor also is bugging to be paid. It's truly unbelievable how little this company did and how many problems it didn't resolved and seemed to prefer to create. When told of the unhappiness of the customers TRF responds by telling you that you can shop around and that they feel they're a good option. If that's real, all property management companies should close up shop now. It doesn't appear to be true though as TRF set the bottom of the rating scale and the new property management company we have is much more responsive and solution oriented. Good riddance TRF, if this is a company you are considering I would HIGHLY discourage you from proceeding into such a nightmare. TH/KH

All of these reviews are quite old, so I figured I'd update them:…read more Since the apartment viewing, Basil has been so kind and attentive to my apartment needs. I made viewing approachable and didn't rush me. He took the time to explain everything and the local management of this building really makes a difference. Basil is always available, maintenance requests get fixed in a timely manner, and honestly I love my apartment. He always greets me when I walk by and never makes any requests feel like a burden. He also makes improvements around the building without prompting. You can tell management truly cares about the building and their tenants. They're also a small management company, so they don't price gauge regarding rent like larger corporations. The apartment itself is beautiful and spacious for a studio. New apartments give you minimal windows, so one of my favorite features are the huge windows that fully open to let ventilation in.

The management company represtative, does not communicate, and the maintenance for the building, and grounds, are neglectfull. The location of the apartments is great, but the building is in ill repair. The building owner lives in Georgia, and is not aware of the issues with the property management. The local advertisments for the property are incorrect. They don't offer 6 month leases, and they will charge for every service you request, if possible. The apartments all require new entry doors. The doors leak cold and hot air, due age and weather damage. The apartments are dark and uninviting! Be aware of what your getting into when applying for residence at this apartment building!!

If you like management that has no clue what they're doing, maintenance that is non-existent, and…read morerenovation happening all day long, then welcome to paradise. This is easily the worst apartment complex I have experienced. It's not that the building itself is bad. It's a good location, it has some good views, and while it has some age, it would be fine if kept up. However, the new management has absolutely no clue what they're doing. If you rent here, don't expect to get proper notice on anything. Also, don't expect your rent payments to be handled properly. There's either some really creative bookkeeping going on, or these people just can't add 2 + 2. I have never seen such poor maintenance. Even the simplest things don't get taken care of - an exit sign was hanging by only wires for months before someone finally took the 5 minutes to fix it. And now, they have decided to do a remodel, which has resulted in covering all the apartment windows and noisy construction all day long. But, don't expect management to care about your inconvenience. However, if they need in your apartment, you can be assured that they will do it without proper notice. Enjoy!

They've given away our parking spots four times in three months to someone else. Really, how hard is it to document who's parking where? Our balcony door has been broken since we moved in, and it's still not fixed, four months later. There are numerous other issues, but you get the idea.

To be transparent, we are property owners, so this review is from the owner's point of view. Having said that, he's been proactive in making sure the rental house is in a good shape, including regular annual maintenance. This is to ensure tenants get what they pay for. One thing David really stands out is his responsiveness and timely communications. Tips: believe it or not, best way to contact him is via email. He'll call me as soon as he's available whenever I ask him to call me via email. His email responses are mostly cryptic and straight to the point, and some folks may take that differently. But for us, we like his cut-to-the-chase, no-nonsense style. Believe us, we have had a different property manager before, and he may seem courteous, but his responsiveness and professionalism are not even close to David's.

This isn't the buildings fault at all, it's just one of those things. The maintenance guy's are professional, helpful and really nice. The people who live here aren't very outgoing at all. There are a couple of couples who rock, but for the most part the tenants keep to themselves.

I've lived at the Ventana apartment building on Western and Lenora which is owned by Allegra…read moreProperties for over three years now. The place isn't perfect but the management is really great, especially for a downtown apartment. I've had experiences with other property management companies in Seattle where you feel like you're dealing with a corporate robot. That isn't the case here. Their staff actually listens to you and are very accommodating. Anyway, if you're looking for a place downtown, consider the Ventana. It is really hard to get a steal on a nice apartment downtown, but they actually have amazingly good rates for a building that's only about a decade old. The main reason I think they have such good monthly rentals is because the building lacks pretty much any amenities (their is a small gym however). However, the price of rent is worth the trade off. Plus, the Seattle Athletic Club is only half a block away and you're a block from the waterfront, so you won't exactly feel like you're living on skid row. I have been looking at other apartments in Belltown to see if I could get a better deal than what I have and I have literally not been able to find a single better deal out there. I would highly recommend renting from Allegra Properties, and especially the Ventana apartments.

I started working with AvenueOne for the last two years, initially with one house, and now I have a…read moresecond one managed by them. Before choosing AvenueOne, I had conversations with 3-4 other companies and asked similar questions to calibrate my expectations and have a comparative view of options. AvenueOne emerged as the winner for me, and specifically, Julie was influential in my decision. She is a great person to work with, reasonable, timely in her communications, and quite experienced in this field. Secondly, Monique was responsible for handling tenant screening and lease management, etc. Brianna is the person actually handling day-to-day operations as my property manager. She is a gem, if you can believe it. She is really understanding and hardworking. Anytime I had something on my mind, dropping a message or email, she was there for me. Lastly, I also had online conversations (via email) with Kathy for portal-related and payment-related questions. Overall, I am highly satisfied with the AvenueOne experience over the last two years. Here are some points I want to highlight about AvenueOne: Responsiveness: The company's response times to maintenance requests and inquiries are generally quite satisfactory. They make an effort to address concerns within a reasonable timeframe, which is appreciated on my end. And this is not only for me as a landlord but also from the tenant's point of view; I can see the same level of responsiveness. Communication Quality: The folks at AvenueOne maintain decent communication with both tenants and landlords through regular updates and reminders. For instance, I receive updates about quarterly audits at the house, along with a detailed report with pictures showing potential issues. Overall, I was mostly happy with the quality of communication. Maintenance and Repairs: For cases where a tenant raises a ticket, AvenueOne has been on top of those tickets and confirms with the tenant. I was also notified about raised issues, and for urgent matters, they immediately jumped on the solution. For others, generally, I was pulled in and asked for approval. I've had mostly positive experiences with the company's maintenance and repair team. I also had a case where the tenant was a bit unreasonable, but to be fair, Brianna, my property manager, did a great job reflecting my opinion and setting reasonable expectations with the tenant, effectively balancing the needs of the tenants with the long-term financial health of the landlord. Property Upkeep: My understanding is that the properties managed by this company are usually well-maintained. They send periodic audit reports about the health of the property, with varying levels of urgency, e.g., things to keep in mind for future maintenance vs. more urgent fixes needed. Each item in the audit report is generally accompanied by pictures. Rent Collection: The rent collection process is generally convenient, mostly automated for the landlord. Each month, you also get a report on the breakdown of costs, if any. Tenant Screening: The company's tenant screening process appears to be decent, which helps maintain a sense of security and community among residents. Their attention to this aspect is appreciated. Lease Management: So far, I have only had the experience of lease renewal and not termination or move-outs yet. But overall, it was thoroughly documented, and it was an easy process, all done via DocuSign. Online Portal or App: The company's online portal and mobile app are convenient tools that simplify various processes. I appreciate the portal a lot. Value for Money: Considering the services provided, the management fees charged by the company are reasonable. Overall Satisfaction: Overall, I've had a great experience with AvenueOne. The company is run by great people, all doing their best to reflect the landlord's best interest while being sensitive to tenant needs as well.

First of all, we are about the best tenants you can find with impeccable rental history and great…read moreincome. This is all verifiable th This house is expensive.. so expensive I am embarrassed to say it here. It came with so many wonderful amenities.. until it turned out that it didn't. A huge modern TV in the basement! I guess that helps make the price worth it! Except the TV is from 2010, cant load any modern streaming services and is basically huge e-waste. (Don't feature it in the add for the house.. ). Its trivial, but our old 2015 TV was giving us some headaches due to its age, so seeing this in the add was like "ah! Perfect for us!" But. hilariously the huge TV doesn't work unless you hook it up to a laptop with an HDMI cable across the room. Don''t believe me? Look up Sharp Aquos Quattron. See if it hooks up to even Amazon Prime Video (spoiler alert, it doesn't). (Oh and it turns out Netflix stopped supporting this machine many years ago). The hoops we had to jump through to secure this house! Way too hard. Its almost as if they are justifying their service by putting people through the wringer.. we could have cared for this house ourselves and done just as good of a job if not better.. but they justify their enormous costs basically by making people go through SO MUCH effort. It's starting to feel like a grift/cash grab. That being said there are positives. Kathy is kind and responsive (was). The recruiter who we contacted was just wonderful. So it's not the people we deal with, it's the actual process, hoops and the rug pull we are currently feeling. We arrived after an arduous move, very long and serious to find our trash so full and heavy that the garbage men rejected it due to its weight.(400 pounds?). this is after my wife and I both pushed and pulled it up the hill to the street, injuring ourselves in the process. So now we are saddled with this super heavy trash and nowhere to take it and no where to put OUR trash.. We PAY for our trash services... so.. ? Find a house that is being rented by the owner and just do a good job caring for the home. You will save yourselves THOUSANDS of dollars, a myriad of hoops, headaches and effort. Plus they force you into a 24 month lease.. and now I know why.. because people would leave in droves. So that's some more good advice, if they force you to do a long term lease, that is a big red flag. Also, we have rented sight unseen in the past. No problem. Why? Because those owners were confident the house was fine. If they DONT allow sight unseen.. what does that tell you? Something is wrong.. or they are hiding flaws that they want you to walk by without noticing so they can sign their 80 page move in documents. More good advice, ask about sight unseen (even if you don't intend on doing that and see what the response is). They reach out 3 times to verify we set up utilities (a month after we already did that) almost as if to justify the existence of the utility manager.. but the internet, the one and only utility besides electric we need to work for our jobs.. that doesn't count, no assistance or advice there, just figure it out.. but if you pick the wrong services you are in for another headache. Just make sure you pick the same service that the house had before .. or you are in for more delays, headaches and stress. The home is quite lovely as is the yard but far from worth this cost (the cost includes pain, stress and anger) ... and there were some issues moving in, the drawers and cupboards were grimy and we had to clean it all with a scraper. Yuck. a couple bad electrical outlets (which we haven't even mentioned yet, one issues at a time, we are not trying to inundate them).. wiggly and loose thick glass shower and bathroom doors (all of which look brand new and never tested but sure do look nice. Pooling water on the floor after a shower creating a mold stain. We created tickets in the portal, but they are now showing closed and resolved! (They are NOT resolved). Its just for the money we pay, you would think the things that were part of the draw, (like the TV) would work and not just be more work for us.. heck for this money even be set up for us on our arrival! But no.. we are saddled with a big (70 inch) hunk of junk. If I owned this company I would make it right by purchasing us a TV that actually works with the modern streaming services (not some ancient xFinity Vudu nonsense). Last but not lease.. the faucet. We come home.. burnt from moving, start our first dishes and it squirts right in our faces! LOL.. its hilarious..until its not. except nobody seems interested in fixing it.. or if they are we are not in the loop. I jammed my thumb up into the faucet so now at least it sprays in other directions than directly at our bodies. Maybe waiting for parts? Maybe they should tell us that. . This post is from 2023 . but somehow just showing up now, you should hear about the MOVE OUT PROCESS. It was even worse.. AVOID THIS BUSINESS AT ALL COSTS.
