December 2024 we asked for a lease extension which we do yearly. Typically, we hear back within a few weeks. We never heard anything and had to keep asking...Toby Soto and Susy Parrot were nothing but non-communicative. When they did communicate we were harassed...daily. I have the text messages to confirm. I had to block their text line. We moved out in March of 2025. They've since tried listing the property that has termites that have not been treated, has carpenter bees, the back fence is falling down and there are rats everywhere because of the ivy growing between properties at 1690 juniper in Solvang for $4200 over $1200 more than we were paying. There are birds that live inside the attic and the plumbing all backs up monthly. The property isn't renting...as it's in awful shape. It has brick floors which tore all of our feet up over the 5 years we lived there...a small kitchen, the bathtub & "master shower" which is the size of a beach shower both back up monthly and many other problems. They tried to say we stole the washer and dryer in the unit which we replaced and were told we could replace because they don't keep accurate records. They tried to send us notices to clean the carpets professionally before moving out. There are NO carpets in this home. Brick and old outdated wood. Again they don't keep accurate records. They didn't even have our move in inspection on file. Surprise!! I have it still. Thank god! The fridge/fridge sucks and needs to be replaced as well as the dishwasher and stove/oven. There is no microwave in the unit, don't know why they're listing it with one . The garage door also needs to be replaced. There is a leak somewhere in the walls between the master and hall bath and it creates a leak in the floor boards which we were cited for even with a request to fix and photos back from 2020. Tried saying it was from going in and out of the shower/bath when we not once in 5 years used the master shower and the damaged was on the other side of the toilet and an unfinished maintenance request from 2020. They've since lowered the price to $3900. DO NOT RENT THIS PROPERTY FROM THEM or any property from plus property. They are not honest people nor do they care about anything but money. We're working with a lawyer and have also reported them to the BBB! Hopefully saving others from this disaster.

Highly recommended. WHY?…read moreMy property in Los Alamos could not be in better hands. Over the past years their care and attention to both me as an owner and to my tenants has been exemplary. It's the small details that matter. There has never been a problem with the small details. They have always been professionally on top of any possible problem that could and does happen in rental situations. I have never had any reason to complain and (even better for me) I have never had one complaint from any of my tenants over the 16 years I have been using this service.

Without a doubt, Preferred Property is the best in town.

In my recent search for a rental residence, applications were submitted to this office for myself,…read morean adult grandson and an adult granddaughter. My grandson and I, but not my granddaughter, were approved to view possible homes. The reason given was because of her credit report. She does have a negative credit history, as she has been diagnosed with several medical issues that prevent her from seeking employment. When I inquired as to whether we would be acceptable, if she no longer was to reside with us. The answer given by the receptionist was that only Scott could make that decision, and she would make that inquiry for us. When I phoned again four days later to learn what his answer was, I was now told that I would have to personally meet with him to learn his decision. However, I was advised that he was not available at that time. I left many phone messages after that, but none were ever returned. Several weeks later, after I had finally accepted that I would not have further access to their services, I received a phone call from this office. I was told that there was a home in Mission Hills for rent where all three of us would be accepted as tenants. When I referred to their previous decision regarding my granddaughter, I was reassured that she would be approved. When I viewed the home, I began to realize what was going on. This particular rental had been available for an unusually long time, and I could see why. It was a horrible place to call home. First of all, it is in Mission Hills, which is not the most desirable residential area. The tour revealed a kitchen that was a disaster, as were both the front and back yards. Just to prove my suspicions, I inquired as to whether there were any other rentals that would accept my granddaughter. The response to that, of course, was that there were none. It didn't take a genius to see that they needed to get renters for this unpleasant residence and, hopefully, I would be desperate enough to make that possible. Otherwise, they would have explained why all three of us were acceptable here, but not in any other rental. My granddaughter could not contribute financially and our source of income would remain the same, regardless of where we live. I will never do business with this agency again, and I warn anyone else considering such an association to be very careful! Look for deceit and dishonesty under their artificial posturing! If you are looking for a super rental office, try Plus Property. These ladies are wonderful and so helpful every step of the way. They really want to work with you and willingly keep you advised as to the current rental market. They are always agreeable to appointments for viewing available homes.

Not all companies are perfect, and they can't serve everyone's needs or wants at a moment's notice…read more I rented a small house in Lompoc to be near my daughter who recently had the most awesome baby in the world. They made my move easy and painless last August 2017. Then the owner of the property decided no more rentals and they were forced to give me a 60-day notice to terminate my agreement. That notice came the day after I moved out of my condo in Calabasas as I needed to sell. The day after that I lost a dear writer friend to cancer. I was devastated. I had a really bad experience with Plus Property Management and Tower gave me advice of my rights as a prospective tenant (I haven't been one in many years.) They held my hand, then helped me find another awesome house. Not only did they empathize with my problem, but they went to work to solve it. I will forever be grateful. Thank you, Glenda and Laura​, you two are very special and all property management companies should learn from you.

I'm glad that the previous reviewer from San Diego had a great experience with Tower Property…read moreManagement. I, on the other hand, had a completely opposite experience with them. I own a residence with my 76 year old mother, and after finally being offered and accepting a job, which would require me to move 300 miles away, I didn't want to leave my mom with the difficulty of advertising, interviewing prospective renters, and collecting rent from tenants that would be renting the place when I moved out. I contacted Tower Property Management, and my mom and I met with the owner, gave her several extra keys to the premises that I had made, signed the management contract, and gave them $200 to commence managing the property. When I moved from the area a few days later, I felt satisfied that by hiring a property manager to take care of things in my absence, I had eliminated any burden that my move might have placed on my mother. Well I guess their style of management is, "out of sight - out of mind", because after I moved, the owner's sister did one walk-through to see what needed to be repaired/improved prior to a renter moving in, but they never provided any list, estimates, or idea of what contractors or costs might be involved. They never returned any of my calls or my mother's calls, and basically did absolutely nothing to commence their performance of the management contract we'd signed. My mom even went to the office a couple of times to speak to the owner, but she was never in. Finally, after over 90 days and hearing nothing from Tower Property Management, my mom was forced to make the decision to use another property management business. Within 9 days after speaking to my mom, the other property manager she had just seen, informed her that he had a renter and gave her a time frame and written estimates for the work that needed to be done prior to the renter moving in! He managed to accomplish in 9 days, what Tower Property Management couldn't (or more likely wouldn't) do in more than 90 days! Then, when my mom went to Tower to get the $200 check back from them because they hadn't done anything, the owner wrote and gave my mother a check for $123, and told her they were keeping $77 because she didn't give them a written 30 day notice prior to terminating their service contract!!! This business is nothing but a rip-off , and I wouldn't refer them to my worst enemy! I give them an F-

My friends rented for a number of years from them (actually in the same home I'm living in now) and had glowing reviews about how warm and friendly the staff are. I have only had positive experiences with them and happily recommend renting from this wonderful company. Ventura Enterprises has a more "mom and pop" feel than the other rental companies I've dealt with in IV. Kathleen and Ellie, both of whom my housemates and I have worked with are extremely professional and efficient, quick to get back to phone calls and eager to help when there are things that need to be fixed. I'm happy to be renting with them and hope to continue to do so for the next few years.

Despite not always having money to pay rent, these two were more than happy to work with me and were well aware of the broke college student struggle, thus always working with me to arrange payment plans and discussions to work something out. In addition to this, this rental agency as a whole is amazing! I could not have wished for a better renting experience! My advice to you is that if you are ever struggling to pay rent, just communicate with either Kathleen and Eli as they highly value communication. While they are very nice about working with students, do know that they will not tolerate bullshit!! Quite simply, if you work with them, they will work with you! Same applies to the apt manager at 6584 Cordoba! He's a hella chill manager!! In closing, if you choose to rent from this agency, do note this it is not like most of the slumlord owners and managers in IV. Ventura actually responds to complaints and maintenance issues. Ventura is also great because they stay out of your business (i.e. they hardly ever come to the complex to "look around."

In other words, you must pay to see an apartment before knowing whether you even want to apply. The cheapest option is only like $2, but having to pay to see an apartment sets a really bad precedent for an already wild housing market for Santa Barbara.

Sure some properties may be good, but this seems like a foreshadowing for weird red tape to deal with as an actual tenant down the road.
