I recently signed on with Good Life to manage my property because they seem to be a fit for what I…read moreneed. When researching various property management companies, Good Life's approach was the most straightforward and transparent with no long term commitments. After speaking with them multiple times with various questions, I was left with a feeling of assurance that I was in good hands. Being a first time landlord, I have no experience in knowing how to screen tenants, knowing the rules, etc., especially when my background is not in the real estate and rental business. Having a busy work schedule also means that I won't likely be able to attend to the tenant's needs in a timely manner. This is where Good Life fills in the gaps for me. The team at Good Life during the onboarding process has been super helpful and efficient in getting the property ready, whereas it would've taken me ages in trying to do it myself. I was assigned Andrei as my property manager and it's been a great start. He has been open, transparent, professional, and great to work with since the start. I recently had an online shopping shipment mis-delivered to my rental property, to which Andrei was instrumental in helping to coordinate the handoff between the tenant and me. Even though Andrei is my primary contact, I can see that they have great teamwork. On one weekend, I had a question to which I received an out-of-office note from him. But rest assured, another team member stepped in that day during his time off to help with my question. Good Life also has a great online portal for me to see all the documents and tax information. Their services have impressed me since the beginning, and I look forward to a great relationship moving forward. Keep up the great work, Good Life! I highly recommend them!

My Opinion: Horrible…read moreexperience with Good Life Property Management Company and Property Management Executive Mitchell Sanchez. I was recently told by email from a purported Good Life Field Inspector who I had never spoken with that someone from Good Life was going to show up at the property on a certain date and time to do a preventive maintenance walkthrough inspection. When I contacted my assigned agent that I was concerned that this could be a scam since I was previously informed to communicate directly with one agent, he wasn't even aware that an email or notice was sent out. I responded to the email that routine preventive maintenance inspections we're not allowed under the law citing Civil Code section 1954 and there was no maintenance or other issues that needed to be reviewed or addressed. Mind you this is less than 7 months into the tenancy. Mitchell Sanchez then emailed me saying that my email response was forwarded to him and insisted on going forward with the inspection and asked me for a better date and time to do so, effectively disregarding the fact that such an inspection is not allowed under the law I cited. He also admitted that the inspection was needed to determine whether to renew the lease after the one year term expires. This pretextual reason for the inspection further compounded the otherwise unlawful inspection into one based on a fraudulent representation and for a fraudulent purpose. In my opinion, I find Mitchell Sanchez is the worst to deal with. What I had previously hoped would be a long-term rental is getting harder and harder to imagine continuing to stay in the property beyond the existing lease term. Good Life and Mitchell are making things so bad that I'm considering leaving once the lease is up, which is unfortunate for the owner because I like the place and would otherwise stay longer if the management company wasn't a nightmare to deal with. I will never rent a place managed by Good Life Property Management Company again and will likely not rent a place that is managed by any property management company as it's been a a real pain dealing with them. I am also strongly considering potential complaints with the Department of Real Estate at https://eocs.dre.ca.gov/ against Good Life, Mitchell Sanchez and CEO Steve Welty based on this conduct and even pursuing a civil action in court against all three, if necessary. Mitchell Sanchez has multiple complaints on this page by name, so it's surprising he's even with Good Life. I suppose there's no pride and minimal employment standards at the company, in my opinion. 7/16/26 Update: Seems as though the business through "Mariah N' either copied and pasted a "canned" response or used AI to do so as the response isn't even related to my review/issues. Sad business model, but predictable. 7/16/26 Additional Update: Now it appears they removed what I believe to be their copy and paste or bot/AI-generated response. Show a further lack of professionalism and competence. Incompetently run management company and horribly incompetent staff. They don't even follow the law in my opinion. Sad, they're going to get the owner's sued.

It has been over five years since I lived here but I still think about my time here. Payment…read moresystem, staff, and cleaners were fine. However, I think the area and roommate systems were awful. I lived in the PB location off Kendall St and had roommates change very often. The building is old and run down. The heater never worked, the carpet was filthy and needed a replacement. The staff was very quick to replace our old nasty couch with a nice new one, which I really appreciate. The area is scary at night but fun in the daytime. My roommate and I dealt with a lot of racial discrimination in the area. Parking is impossible. We had tandem parking with a unit below that wasn't owned by the housing company. The people downstairs often had cops called on them for violence and drug usage. Please consider a roommate matching system and getting a better idea of how long people are staying. At the time, I paid $700 for a two bed (three people) and one bath which was a pain to deal with. I was in the shared room, so I imagine all the rent went to cleaning costs. We often had roaches when it was hot too but I chalk it up to San Diego and not the unit owners. I recommend renovating the place and changing every thing about it, and implementing a CCTV in the backside where the parking is (if not done already). It's been over five years. Hope this place got an update.

We previously worked with Steve Mattson's Estate Sale & Liquidation Service and even recommended…read morehim to a neighbor, so we expected a similar level of service this time. Unfortunately, this experience was very disappointing. About three and a half weeks before we needed to be out of our rental, Steve came to review what we had available. We showed him many higher-priced, quality items and asked specifically about everything -- including food, supplements, furniture, a heavy fountain, and more. He indicated he would take it all and that we had enough to make it worth his time and effort. As agreed, five days before the scheduled pickup, his employee did a final walkthrough. We provided a detailed list of items we had already discussed with Steve and had even added additional items he had previously said he would take. Then, just two days later, we received a text saying this was now considered more of a cleanout -- and that we would need to pay him over $1,700. During a follow-up phone call, he said the items we had previously discussed were not worth his time to take. This was especially frustrating because we had offered to let him take only what he felt was worth selling. This sudden change completely disrupted our timeline and plans to be out of the rental by the end of the month. We feel the expectations set at the beginning were not honored, which put us in a very difficult position on a tight schedule. Based on our experience, I would advise being very cautious when making plans, especially if you are working within strict deadlines.
