just now New Showed up to check a key out to view a property at 3:45pm on a weekday, had to leave work early to make this happen.. front office lady was rude and unprofessional. Stated they don't allow key check out after 3:30pm (don't close until 5pm tho) and are closed Saturdays and Sundays when most people can actually look at apartments. Will definitely be taking my business elsewhere with how expensive rent is these days, good luck renting units with these wonky ass hours and rude and unhelpful staff. Also doesn't state the key checkout hours anywhere on the website, complete waste of time. read more

Kim was very unprofessional and rude with her condescending tone. I asked for information regarding a rental property and she pretentiously acted as if I should be aware of qualifications, hence why I called. I would not consider doing business with this company. It appears this type of unprofessionalism is acceptable per the review history. read more

Properties West is a scam. if I could give negative stars I would. If you are an owner, you should look elsewhere. All of the staff have a rude, unprofessional, demeaning, degrading and an abusive attitude towards the tenants. Everyone from Lori, Christina, the receptionist on down lack customer service skills. They lie to, and cheat the tenants out of money when it's time to use a refund of the deposit. They also play games when it's time to release the deposit refund check. They will tell you it's been mailed, then when you don't receive it, they provide a different day that it was mailed. You have to demand to pick it up to get it. They will call you a thousand times but not mention any issues. It won't be until you pick up check that you find erroneous items deducted from your deposit check. read more

If I could put 0 stars I would. Ms. Lori (the manager) is EXTREMELY rude, aggressive, and unprofessional. Today I called to make a complaint that the plumbers sent were taking my father's tools without his permission in order to fix an unsanitary water leak (wipes, toilet paper, and dirty water), she gave me no moment to explain. She began yelling and stating it is my father's fault for not allowing the plumber access to our electrical outlet (which was not true! Plus, there is an electrical outlet right outside the building technicians and maintenance workers use.) After about 3 minutes of hearing her yell, I was finally able to tell her that the plumbers had taken my father's things without permission (and that I had pictures!). She finally was quiet and all she said was there's nothing she can do. Please, if you can, save yourself and choose a better management team. read more

Properties West Management Company - Property Management Near Me - San Pedro, California

This company has the worse customer service. I've had interactions with four different employees and they have all been rude, condescending, and lack manners. They don't talk to you like a human being and are unhelpful. I've sent out numerous requests and I've been ignored several times. If you want a reliable property management company, do not come here. read more

My family has been living at the property for over 20 years. Property West took over in 2017. The POC I have been dealing with is Kira Thomas, Property Supervisor. Since no one at this company claims to speak Spanish, and even though my parents speak English, with rental and legal issues, they are more comfortable with Spanish so I have been the one communicating with this company. In September 2017, we requested a copy of our rental agreement because we needed to prove the owner was unlawfully charging us extra. The company claims they don't have it. All they have is our agreement we signed over 20 years ago with the previous owner. After this, we received a notice to clear our garage since it was not to be used as storage, it should only be used for parking. Mind you, this property has 3 units and the other garages for the tenants have a functional garage door that can be accessed through the alley. Those garages also have electricity. But our garage has neither a functioning door with alley access or electricity and yet we're expected to park a car in there. My father is a gardener and has been for over 30 years. He's also an employee for the City of Los Angeles and has stored his equipment in the garage for the past 20 years without any complaint from anyone until this company took over and the OWNERS SON decided to start problems. The owners son is also a tenant at this property. The son is disabled and an addict. Yet, we have always cooperated when he has threatened and harassed us. After, we received a notice once again that we could not store ''flammables'' in the garage, mind you, everything was cleared out when the management company sent us the first notice. With this second notice, they provided a photo of my fathers lawnmower. They never had permission to access the garage. By LAW, the owner/agent HAS to provide tenant with a 24 hour notice to enter dwelling. They DID NOT! May 11, 2018, we received the notice that i have added to this review. Please Property West, *show me where in our CONTRACT does it state ''NO PLAYING''? (this happens to be a 6 year old and 7 year old the complaint is about) *Tell us how we can access our garage without electricity or access from the alley? *And please show us evidence of the ''flammable liquids'' your referring to? The company is making all these threats without fixing any of the issues with the home. So we went ahead and contact HCIDLA and the County of Los Angeles Public Health in order to have the issues accessed. read more

Properties West Management Company - Property Management Near Me - San Pedro, California

I visited the office and I was very impressed with the great and friendly support I received from Alex. She was very helpful and my application to lease a property. Her advice and knowledge of the area helped us locate areas that would work best for our family. We look forward to keep seeing her in our stay in San Pedro. read more

In my recent apartment search, I called Properties West. I spoke to Alex several times inquiring about information for a few properties I was interested in looking into. Alex was very helpful and patient. As many times as I called she always had great attitude and super friendly. Although I didn't rent with them, I highly recommend Alex and definitely refer her to my friends and family to look for her first hand. Thank you Alex for your attentiveness and superb customer service! read more

I called the office today about a property listing. The service provided was above and beyond my expectation. Kim was amazing and very knowledgeable about the process. customer service was outstanding read more

if there was a way that I could rate them zero I would. I simply called to request information on a property, and it was most unprofessional, rude and appalling response I have ever gotten. first called them and was directed to leave a voice mail by someone who was really pleasant and polite (Alexis I believe). I waited to for a call back from the manager named Kim. Next day after no response I called and was informed to call later as she was on break. no problem so I called an hour later. Given the fact that I was polite and merely asking for some information the response from said manager was to angrily scream at me. totally unprofessional and unwarranted. I believe i dodged a bullet if this is how simple calls are handled. read more

Recommend Property West Mgmt. Spoke to Alex, she's so responsive and helpful. Alex had such a great attitude, helpful and friendly. I called about renting a property and Alex response was so helpful and so professional. Highly recommend. read more

I would give this place zero stars if i could, I tried calling simply about my plumbing and they gave me attitude and hostility. Not once did i come off rude, you need to get new employees. read more

I was interested in viewing a property. They said the latest I can see the property is 4pm I said can you do any later because I work until 4pm. The lady said NO we cant do anything for you and they are not open on weekends. Are you kidding me? So that's it? You don't accommodate for working people?? Now lets talk about the Lady on the phone.. (Madelene) She was rude and sounded like she hates life! Quit your job if your that miserable! After reading the reviews I will definitely not do any business with Properties West management!! I hope they go out of business soon they are horrible! I was on the phone for 2 Minutes!!!!! First Impression does MATTER!! read more

Horrible non-existent communication. My partner and I applied for an apartment, they never followed up. We called and left messages just trying to find out whether we got the place, and every time they either didn't answer, or said they'd call back and never did. Then, I applied for another one of their places a couple months later, they just took my money for the application and once again never heard a single word back from them. At least have the decency to say yes or no, rather than charging people to apply and then just never contacting back. Total joke of a property management company, that I would highly suggest never doing business with. read more

First of all, most negative reviews here have to be agreed with generally, especially regarding the assistant manager Kim L: regarding this person, they are very unprofessional, disrespectful and do not care about the tenants very much. To name a few examples, if maintenance is needed, it will be followed up really slow; if asking for help with a noisy neighbor next door playing music until 4am in the morning, they told me I lie, despite proper documentation and additional proof; the apartment is infested with cockroaches and very dirty, and they really do not seem care about this potential health hazard. The only positive thing I can mention is that everybody else besides Kim L at that company seems nice, but since I did not have anything to do with them during my tenancy it stays with a one star review, which is really unfortunate. read more

I lived in a property that was managed by Kim during two separate occasions. Its not surprising to come on here and see so many negative comments about her and her work ethic. What surprises me is that she is still employed by Properties West given the way she treats tenants and the negativity she brings to the company. As I said the property I lived in fell into her management after two separate sales of the property. On both occasions Kim was unprofessional, rude, condescending, and would outright harass us. Every single communication with her was hostile because of the tone Kim chose to take with us. I know Kim has the etiquette and skills to speak to people in a respectful manner, because I witnessed her do so- she just fails horribly at doing so with people of color. Reviews left by others further prove my point. Please, if you decide to work with this company, protect yourself and don't be afraid to speak up. They will try to get away with what they can. read more

all the woman at this establishment are very rude,have zero customer service skills,and literally laugh in your face when are questioned about documentatiom they are requesting,with all the negative reviews about these rude unprofessional asses how are they still employed?????another thing.....not even bbb accredited,no thank you,there are plenty of other property management companies with properties for rent,dont waist your time with properties west on 9th street,in san pedro and if i could give zero stars i would,cause they sure dont deserve the one star rating read more

DO NOT RENT OR DEAL WITH THESE PEOPLE. 100% USELESS It was very unfortunate to have found the perfect property, but with the WORST management (or lack off) ever. I found the property I currently live in, in July and went through ALL the process with the company. Had the viewing with their representatives, applied for the house with the company, signed the lease with the company website/online account system, and even picked up my key and turned in my deposit to them physically. This is were it gets fishy....I move into the property and I find out that the landlord is now the one running the shots with any and all issues referring to the property (mind you I haven't heard anything about the landlord prior I was under the belief the property company was doing this), I am notified that I am suppose to put a physical check in a non-working mail box at the back of the property where the "landlord will pick it up" super shady right? it gets worse, the landlord ends up being a creepy man who begins to stop by the property whenever he pleased with no notifications. When I go to address this issue with the landlord, it immediately gets out of hand and he rudely starts attacking me and claiming that I am "harassing a senior citizen," after the phone call I started to get threatening letters from the landlord stating all the "violations" I have done to cause him to send me an eviction notice. When I tried to reach out to the company, Madelene Noe one of their supervisors, just looked at me and handed me a 30 day notice to move out to give to the landlord!!! I couldn't believe it, it was like they already knew how terrible the landlords were and they were more willing to just find a whole new tenant than just help me with (what was at this time) a small simple issue! Things got worse with the landlords because they are elderly and really have no idea how to manage a property, they were basically breaking all my rights as a tenant and they still thought they were doing no wrong at all because they don't know the laws themselves. I had to resort to getting legal help and an attorney to help me from being wrongfully evicted and because properties west management didn't even want to help me or get involved at all. Everything changed the minute my lawyer (obviously) sent them (mind you only sent the letter to the property management) a cease and desist letter claiming they had violated my rights and to back off. I was immediately emailed by the manger Lori Millard with the nicest email I have seen from these people (after weeks of ignoring me) telling me how very sorry they were for all my issues and if I had any other issues to please contact them, that solved my current issue. If i could post a picture of email i would!! Current time, its December and I have not had contact with the landlords since July (as instructed by my lawyer to just deal with the management company directly) I had a small issue where I was requesting a hard copy of my garage key (which was NEVER given to me). I sent 2 emails to both Lori and Madelene and received nothing, I called them and lord behold they rudely tell me again they have no connection to that property and that I have to contact the landlords. Back to square one, it seems like the only way to get the companies attention is through attorneys. This property company is highly unprofessional and operates with a lot of procedures that are not in compliance to the California Tenant rights. They are careless and money written when it comes to their clients (the landlords they work with), it seems like they don't do any kind of back ground checks or take the time to really make sure that all their tenants are treated with respect and with the right customer service. This is a careless, money hungry company who will do anything to get paid. Please don't be scammed by these people. If I could give them no stars I would** read more

HORRRRRRRRRRIBLE. I'm Not being dramatic when I say these are some of the rudest people I have ever encountered. Madeline is okay she just acts like she doesn't care about anyone or anything. The real wicked witch of the company is KIM LEVINE. Where do I even begin... my first encounter with Kim she called me screaming because I refused to let the exterminators come in. The manager Juan told me I didn't have to let them come in and I could just pay $20 which sounded fine to me. Because they require you to move everything into the center of the room and empty out all cabinets and closets to spray SO INCONVENIENT! Anyway she calls me speaking over me and yelling and I'm like Juan told me it was okay and she's like Juan isn't in charge!!! I am!!! You have to tell me! Now I'm going to charge you x amount for refusing you can't refuse. Why the f would the manager say I could if I couldn't?! Horrible place. Anyway then I've had other encounters with her and anytime you talk to her she's super condescending loves to speak over you and talk to you like you're an idiot. Rude rude RUDDDEEEE. I hated talking to her but thank god I'm out of that cockroach filled hell hole. If you want to move into their property in San Pedro get ready for MONTHLY but sprays, restrooms being shut down for repair and bitchy attitudes. Word of advice Kim, get a job where you don't have to interact with people because you suck at it!!! read more

Would not recommend renting one of their properties. Very slow on maintenance requests. They do not clean well prior to you moving in, and this is pre-Covid. Tried to keep our security deposit citing damaged carpet that was like that when we moved in. read more

The property next to mine is managed by them and they repeatedly have rented it to complete losers. I don't know what the standard is there but it's quite low. I would never allow this company to represent me or any of my interests. Also why they hell are they closed on the weekends? Isn't that real estate 101? read more

Property west management is a poor excuse for a management company. They don't fix anything broken in their apartments before renting it out. Apartments are filthy. They don't manage apartment grounds or other tenants right. They are the management companies responsible for maintaining property for owners who are non the wiser. They are slummy read more

This property management company does not care about their tenants and properties. They just put a coat of paint inside, get the carpet cleaned and that 's it. This street has cute homes on it and then there is Properties West Management's rentals, a blight in our neighborhood. The last tenants that lived there has been a problem for their neighbors also. read more

Properties West Management Company - Property Management Near Me - San Pedro, California

See all

They do not maintain their properties in my neighborhood. Especially the small houses on Cabrillo by Dana Middle School.

If i could give zero stars i would ! Madalene is extremely unprofessional, rude and down right nasty in person and over the phone. Felt discriminated and would never want to rent with these people. read more

First off if you feel like dealing with bad customer service, this is the place for you. The property manager Kim is very unprofessional, raises her tone and eventually starts yelling at you to talk over you if she doesn't like a simple question. From the jump she has a very condescending tone that I tried to ignore. I still rent from them and this is my second month here. She rented me a unit with multiple problems. She will have no hesitation to tell you with the worst tone that "you rent as is. I pay my rent 2 weeks in advance and this is how I'm spoken to. They are very Unprofessional!! Crazy how she still works there, that says alot about the owner as well. If you plan on renting from these ghetto people I recommend you hire a professional inspector to check out the unit before renting and be prepared to deal with a property manager that will ruin your day at a moments notice. Kim is the worst . read more

One of the worst property companies my girlfriend has ever dealt with. Rude, misleading people at the office on 9th street. Recommendation to never rent from this property mismanagement company. read more

Sorry to say.. but it's all true.. this is really a crappy property management company. I read comments about this place and I still decided to try to work with them. The receptionist is some what rude,or perhaps she's tired of working with people. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt. To be honest I don't know how someone would allow them to manage their property. I'm serious. These people don't give a care about renting a property. I looked at a place recently and liked the place and the location. But this was from the outside the property. I got the keys and went inside the apartment. It was a mess!! Dead roaches in all the kitchen drawers. The place was in no condition to be shown. It was so filthy I was confused as to why they would allow me to see it before they cleaned it. I went back and told them I would consider renting but would need to see it cleaned. They told me they would get someone to clean it, but I explained it needed a few drawers fixed and a paint job... quite honestly it needed a lot of work. She said she had no idea it was bad.. really there are a total of 8 units there and three are vacant. What I found out from a neighbor there was that these three vacancies have not been rented for over four months.. I don't know how an owner of these apartments would allow that. Or how a supervisor of a management company can allow it. I tried to work with them but now I'm glad I didn't. To anyone that may try to rent from this management company.. GOOD LUCK... seriously, you may find yourself writing a review very similar to this one.. and to You Property Owners .. one question... WHY? read more

Properties West has 5 exemplary service to all my requests timely and professional in every aspect of requests. Debbie is a asset to the Properties team and corresponds clearly as to the consideration of tenants needs. They have a professional team that makes repairs quickly and cleanly. Thank you Anthony... read more

This wasn't a good experience for us. In my opinion, Properties West wasn't good for our landlord either. Before doing business with Properties West, you should review their licensing history, here, and see the link titled "disciplinary action": http://www2.dre.ca.gov/PublicASP/pplinfo.asp?License_id=01891296 We are good tenants. We pay our rent every month and try to take care of the property. We lived at 1322 W 9th Street in San Pedro, and the building was landlord managed when we moved in. Properties West took over later, and things went downhill quickly. The first thing they did was try to evict us for not paying rent, even though the landlord had already cashed our rent check. (This is a huge deal, and can cause all kinds of problems for the landlord.) Properties West apologized for the mix up - but not before scaring us out of our skin. Later, we notified Properties West of a plumbing leak, but they neglected it for several days. By the time they "got around to it" the small leak had become a minor flood, and our kitchen required major water remediation and reconstruction. We are finally leaving and couldn't be happier. read more

Properties West has managed my several properties since the early 1980s. They are responsive property managers who are professional in their approach to managing. In addition to their regular duties, they have always been an important sounding board and resource for the unique issues that can come up frequently with rental real estate. It has been a good relationship for many years. read more

I was recently going to move to San Pedro for a job opportunity and I used Properties West to look for a place to rent. They showed me some really great places, were super helpful and responsive. Unfortunately, the job fell through but if I eventually end up moving to that area, I will definitely be using them again. I had a really good experience. read more

Great service and easy to work with. The ladies at properties west are hardworking. As a Real Estate agent I have put many of my clients into homes/apartments that Properties West manages and have no complaints. read more

If I could leave 0 stars I would. I am leaving this review to forewarn others from using this property management company. Kim is rude and unhelpful, communicates with severe attitude, and has a complete lack of information for their customers. They fail to respond in any meaningful way to the property owners that they attempt to manage. Go anywhere else. read more

This company has cost me so much money! I seriously would not recommend this company to anyone. I will try to keep this short by just listing a couple of the issues: 1. Did not work to find a tenant - I found someone that was very interested in moving in and they would never call or email the guy. 2. Not paying vendors/contractors - I received two surprise bills from different companies stating that they had contacted Properties West several times to get paid and not only did they not pay them, but then didn't even tell me about it. One company told me that Properties West actually told them that I "the owner refused to pay," which is obviously not true at all. There is a lot more that I could say, but I'm sure you get the idea. One of those companies threatened to put a lien on my property because of this. I wish I had never worked with Properties West. I've really lost a lot of money because of them. read more
