I've been using Realty Management Group to handle my rental in Mission Valley for a while now, and they've honestly made my life a lot easier. If you've ever owned property in San Diego, you know how much of a headache the maintenance and tenant hunt can be, but these guys really have it down to a science. The best part is how fast they move on repairs. I never have to chase them down to get a sink fixed or an appliance looked at; they just handle it. On top of that, the tenants they've found for me have been solid--no drama, they take care of the place, and they actually stay long-term. Plus, the money side is seamless. I get paid fast and the statements are easy to read. It's just a massive relief to know the property is in good hands and I don't have to stress about the day-to-day stuff. If you're looking for someone to manage your place in SD, I'd highly recommend them. read more

I Would Give Zero Stars If I Could -- Beware This property manager handled my property for over four years, and I regret not paying closer attention. While I was caring for my sick family member, she'd smooth things over whenever something went wrong -- which was almost every month -- by reversing her management fee or covering a handyman bill. I mistook that for good service, but it was really a way to keep me from noticing the deeper issues. She was often over 30 days late with rent payments and once missed three full months entirely, always with a new excuse -- wrong routing number, vacation, etc. After hiring a new professional property manager, I learned she never met the tenant, or did a walk through, ignored maintenance and safety updates, and was completely hands-off. She left the lockbox on the door with the new tenant there. My tenant said she'd been trying to reach her for weeks without a response. She manages over 250 properties, and I know I'm not the only unlucky one who didn't receive the standards of a true professional. She'll likely respond to this review with another excuse or a lack of accountability, pointing to her many "happy clients." Be careful -- I was one of them too, until I saw how deeply manipulative and neglectful her management really was. read more

Realty management group is the best property management group in all of San Diego. They are always there when you need them and get things done. 10/10 would never use anyone else! read more

We hired RMG to manage our property in San Diego and all I can say is you get what you pay for. Things started off OK but as time went on, it became extremely difficult and frustrating to work with them. They were very hard to get in touch with, never picked up the phone, always had an excuse for everything. We wouldn't even see rent for our home until the end of the month it was for. Had to request tax documents multiple times, had to ask where rent was every single month, had to light a fire and be not so pleasant to get literally anything done. It is baffling to me to see good reviews on here. If you are looking for a property manager to manage your property in San Diego, it's worth it to pay more. Spare yourself the frustration and headache of dealing with them. read more

Donna and RMG are Amazing! We have been working with Donna for almost four years and it has been a pleasure. We help maintain some of the properties for her and she is one of the most reasonable PMs we work with. Top Notch Donna! Keep up the Good Work! read more

Donna is more than attentive to meet our needs. They have a wealth of resources to help you getting top dollar for your rental prThere is a reason why RMG is rated one of the best management group in San Diego. read more

I was in a rush to find a property manager at the beginning of summer and came across RMG. I've had an extremely positive experience working with Donna and she has been very attentive to my needs. I'm incredibly satisfied having RMG manage my property and seeking only the best tenants. I cannot thank Donna enough for her support and communication throughout the whole process. I would highly recommend RMG for property management. read more

Super disappointed with the customer service of this company! I applied for an apartment, and never heard back. The day of the showing Donna was super responsive, but they do not care to reply to you if you don't qualify. Or maybe I did qualify and they just never got back to me? It's been over 10 days and I just find it super unprofessional to not let an applicant know if they have been approved or not, especially after taking time out of their day to go and view a unit, and then submit an application that takes 30 min - 1 hour to complete. Also, their automated phone line provides an email that you can use to "check the status of your application" but it's an invalid email, and emails sent to that address bounce back every time. Being a relatively new renter to San Diego, this type of conduct is super discouraging. I would discourage others applying for properties managed by this company and recommend them to look elsewhere. read more

I hired RMG in 2023 to manage my condo in Fashion Valley. Initially, they did a good job. I will say they are good at finding quality tenants, but that's about it. This last year has been a different story. They have not followed through on performing maintenance at my unit, even when I informed them that I would pay for it. In addition, getting my distributions from rents they have collected is very slow and always late. I have to contact them almost every month to ask where my money is. I should not have to do that. It's the same story over and over again. I regret hiring them. read more

Here we go with an update, more time wasted on this business, but I hope it saves someone else from my experience. This is in reply to lies from Donna at this business about our experience. Beyond unprofessional. See pic below of her reply. 1. Donna's lie about cancelling our agreement because I got annoyed during Covid. Donna was in fact hired pre-Covid in 2017 and did ZERO inspections at my property for the entire time she was engaged as property manager. I requested inspections and she told me they had been done - they had not. 2. Correct Donna, inspections are meant to be done for the owner. I WAS THE OWNER and requested an inspection MULTIPLE times for MY property - clearly she has again not done her due diligence. SMH at this one... 3. People considering working with this 'business' should be comfortable with all the '5 star reviews'. They read like paid advertisements to me, the negative ones seem much more plausible and similar to my experience. 4. I believe I received a full refund because you knew you'd screwed up and been caught out, you'd lose in small claims court AND possibly have your license revoked. Again, my original review stands. 5. Her husband, Scott, threatened me - in writing ?!?!? - with legal action if the previous review wasn't deleted. I refused and confirmed it was all accurate, I also told him I would be happy to follow through with legal action. He backtracked real quick and I never heard from either of them till todays Yelp update. 6. I kept all comms/emails concerning my dealings with this business. FYI, Donna & Scott. .. read more

Realty Management Group - Property Management Near Me - San Diego, California

I messaged to inquire about steps to rent my home. They answered initially and then when I followed up several times with questions and then lastly to actually start the rental process they stopped responding. Unfortunately now I can't use their services or recommend them. I think communication is such an important aspect of good business. I think even if their work load is full right now and they can't take new clients they should communicate such. The lack of communication makes me nervous about how they would handle their managed properties and other situations. read more

I do not understand how these people are still in business. It's impossible to contact them. I have literally been waiting to rent a condo that I have all the funds and background checks ready to go. They straight up ignore costumers. I call them, they give me another number to call, I do, no one picks up. I left tons of emails and messages. When I do get hold of a real person they just brush me off. Never ever ever do business with these people. It's a headache through and through. Update: So they are threatening to sue me for leaving a bad review. Now I know why all these reviews are positive. Mind you, I still can't find the email that they claim to have sent. read more

Realty Management Group is the best HANDS DOWN!! Talk about professional and always there to help. They made the toughest times seem easy and walked us through every step of the way! I highly recommend this company for anyone's realty needs. I'd give 10 stars if they let me! Scott and Donna Engel are the dream team anyone could hope to encounter! read more

Update to review left in 2018. I just saw posting from realty management I am not a competitor and did deal with Donna on the phone when I told her to pick up lock boxes. She was supposed to be renting my brothers 3 apartment in Pacific beach. I had been involved in the dealings with the renters including the renter in the front of the apartments. I helped clean up the place with David, my brother whom she had signed the contract with. She had supposedly had someone remove trash left in sheds but hadn't, i could go one with things that were supposed to be done but weren't. I tried to get him to fire Donna for several months because it shouldnt have taken 4 plus months to rent beach property. I WOULD NEVER POST SOMETHING THAT COULDNT BE VERIFIED. read more

I hired Realty Management Group to manage my apartment building in early 2019. I typically wait at least a year to review a service provider as things can sometimes be great in the beginning and change as time goes on. I live in Riverside County and due to my work schedule and proximity to the property, I am unable to properly oversee the day-to-day management of my building. Since this building is an integral part of my retirement plan, I set out on a search to find the best property manager in San Diego. I searched google, yelp, and many others. While Realty Management Group would pop up in nearly every search, I initially dismissed them as their pricing seemed to good to be true and I was sure there was a catch. Thankfully I reached out and started a conversation about my needs. After a 30 minute conversation with Donna about my property and future goals, it became apparent that this is the type of company I want to represent my investment. However, I am very tough to please and wanted to speak to other owners that work with Realty Management Group and get their first hand experiences. Every owner I spoke to raved about the ability to get their questions addresses quickly and the consistency in the service. After our initial conversation, Donna and Scott met me at the property (even showed up early!) and pointed out ways to improve the "rentability", increase returns, and keep my tenants happy. Once the contract was signed, I received a care package from Donna, which was an incredibly nice touch. There was a note that said "Don't stress. Well treat your property as if it were our own. " These little gestures mean a lot in a world in which we are all so busy. Of course, the first month had some challenges as we both learned how each other worked. Once we worked out the kinks that come with transitioning management companies, it became a smooth stress-free process. Donna, Scott, and their team are true professionals that offer a tremendous service at an extremely affordable price. I would not hesitate to refer Realty Management Group to any of my friends, family, or coworkers. It's tough to own a building and let someone else take over the management, but it's been an incredible experience. Thank you Donna, Scott, and everyone else at Realty Management Group. We appreciate everything you do! read more

So far I'm happy with the services Donna and her team have provided. read more

Quick respond time. Very astute with clients needs . I am quite looking forward to having this highly esteemed team work with me .

I found Donna at Realty Management Group by doing a Yelp search for property management companies in San Diego. I looked at many different companies and decided to give RMG my business. Their simple fee structure of only $99 per month, online portal and quick follow-up made the decision easy and one that I have not regretted since hiring RMG. Each time a tenant has a maintenance request it is handled quickly and efficiently. I no longer have to scramble and look for a vendor to take care of an issue with my home. Thanks for all of the hard work Donna, I really appreciate the extra time and care you take each month dealing with my properties and me. I know I'm not always the easiest to work with but you do an excellent job and need to hear it more. You have a long term client in me. read more

RMG will always have our referrals. Very professional, very personable, always available. Always great people to deal with! I think the most important thing is Donna knows the business. I've been around long enough to see how things are run with people that either doesn't have the experience or don't have the passion. It's not fun and it makes renting a nightmare!! You can't go wrong using Donna and her company. You'll wonder why you've put up with what you have for so long! Thanks, Donna! read more

So I got ahold of Realty Management Group two weeks ago while doing some homework on the ins and outs of renting my current place and getting into something more fitting for my family. Scott took the time to give me some great ideas on what to look out for with todays market and a few key items to remember along the way. I'm new to this so the extra attention and advice was greatly appreciated. As long as the market cooperates for a bit longer and I can pull the new place off, I'll be a customer of RMG for sure! read more

Property management is not an easy business at all. We appreciate all the times they have gone above and beyond for us and our tenants. read more

Highlights: $7,475 in lost rents from showing a dirty damaged unit from the prior tenants along with poor pricing/marketing [upside down photos, etc.], 16 un-replied emails/voicemails, failure to do proper move out documentation from prior tenants resulting in $500 of repairs, 113 days outstanding for critical items to enable new tenant move in that went un- addressed, and overall gross negligence in managing my property over the 159 days in which they failed to put a tenant in the property. I signed up to have them take over management of my property and it was probably one of the worst experiences of my life. Shame on me for not recognizing this sooner and severing the relationship much earlier. For starters- I had self managed this property for 6+ years and have never had it vacant for more than 2 weeks. RMG took over and left it vacant for 159 days! Simple things like new pictures, cleaning the unit to ensure proper showings, and communication to the property owner on status never occurred. After months of paying two mortgages and not being responded to- I finally severed the relationship. I hired a new property management group who inspected the unit and told me it was filthy and there were holes in the bathroom door, marks on the walls, etc. I had asked for the move out checklist from Donna and never received it. She just said they deducted $200 from the prior tenant and she would cut me a check. I couldn't believe it. They were showing the unit in this condition and failed to protect the owner from the damage of the prior tenants. Unbelievable. Needless to say, the new management company cleaned it, made the repairs, listed it properly with photos, and had a tenant in there in 2 weeks. They also responded to my emails, calls, etc. Complete 180 from RMG. At any rate- I am glad I can finally end this nightmare after hours of going through emails, phone records, etc. to document this [was terrible to have to re-live]. Hopefully others will find this useful in their own search. read more

my landlord chose RMG & it was a terrible experience. our first experience with Donna, who i believe to be the owner, was in June 2019. i contacted her about a bee hive removal in late May, but the hive wasn't removed until mid june. in november 2019, i put in a maintenance request for a number of issues, the most major one being that our drier was not working, & it took her a few days to get a repair man out here, & then when the repair man contacted her to move forward, she didn't reply back to him. i ended up being without a drier for about 2 weeks. & this was just that ONE issue. there were several other maintenance requests in the original email that were ignored. also, the website where maintenance requests are handled said that they would respond within 48 hours. the text messages i screen shot & posted are also after me calling 2 or 3 times & leaving messages saying "we used to talk to donna, she must not work for the company anymore" but it turns out she was the owner. luckily my landlord ended up dropping RMG because of their nonresponsiveness. read more
