It cost just thousands in inspections and lost time. We were mislead continuously. Hazel was sellers agent at one home, lied (oops) about home condition. I had to look up permits to find out and was warned by the Inspector that she has a reputation for this? We backed out after bad news after bad news. The other house was brokered by John Sloss , located in a fire zone only found out after we made offer. Told them to get insurance it had to have updated wiring and plumbing, assured it was. After thousands in inspection, lies . All out dated and unable to insure. Then it appraised 40k less than asking. 3 days before close , our agent Tyler Potter (who was on vacation along with selling agent John, told us it needed a mold inspection which after 20 years in buisness next to the bay, he had never heard of and the deal was dead. Truth, he told me prior that if its didn't appraise , the price would be lowered and that the reapirs I mentioned were not an issue. All 3 agents work for Coldwell banker.... Just like the prior reviews noted. Its a culture at this broker beware. I fired them , found a new broker and a new house with in 2 days at a fair price. with a broker on my side. Buyer beware with these guys...

You have your choice of expensive and very good service or expensive and not very skilled. Chalkboard brings another set of choices. Lori has a wealth of knowledge with nominal fees.

FSBO is a lot of work and it took a long time to close, but it was one of the more rewarding things I have done. Thanks to Chalkboard for giving me the offerings I needed to succeed!

Please note that this review was flagged by Krystle Properties and removed because I didn't specify…read morehow I'd been a customer of Krystle Properties although it clearly states in the quote below. I will clarify and add that Krystle DM'd me because she has no idea which property I'm writing about...It says a lot about how her company is run. "Hi Me Y. We're trying to figure out who you are so we can understand where we went so wrong with servicing you and your properties. Please let us know so that we can understand this mystery and learn from our past experiences. Thank you, Krystle Karimian, CEO Krystle Properties sales@krystleproperties.com 707-342-2290" Since you asked: These are some of the issues we faced and why we fired you the first month: 1. The building had so many keys in such a disorder that we had to go unit by unit to confirm that it was the correct key. This included front and back doors, mailbox keys, basement keys, and excess storage keys, so you can imagine the mess. The labels were tangled and some had become wet and therefore couldn't be read. Key labeling may seem insignificant but when there is an emergency and you need to access a unit, garage, etc. it becomes very important. 2. The maintenance on the property was horrific. The tenants explained that the yard had been left unmaintained throughout their tenure which made it difficult for them to access their units, storage, garbage, garages, etc. Why, Krystle? This lowers the rent you can get on a location and will cost only $100-$500/mo for a reliable gardening service. That's nothing when you are considering this is a commercial property. Why wouldn't you explain that to an owner to HELP THEM? 3. The windows in many of the units had been painted shut and were therefore inoperable. (Some of the tenants liked this as it allowed them to hotbox more effectively. LOL. ) This is a fire hazard along with something that lowers the property value, since people want a home that functions properly. 4. The backdoor screens were all broken. EVERY ONE. Either the latches didn't work, they were bent and didn't close properly, or the screens had holes (from the cats and dogs), making them nonfunctional. This contributed to the "cheap" vibe and was an easily fixable annoyance. 5. Rentable space. There were garages and storage areas that were not being rented. Why? This represented a +5% increase in property income, which almost paid for Krystle's services. Why wouldn't you mention that to the owner? It would have been nice to have your services covered in the increased rent. 6. This building is in a highly desirable location and rents were 20-50% under-market, with NO CHANGES TO THE BUILDING and, at the time, no rent control. Why, Krystle? I started bumping rents the first year and couldn't believe how quickly the units rented. It is now a VERY profitable building, largely because YOUR TEAM DIDN'T EXPLAIN TO THE OWNER THAT HE HAD A GOLDMINE. It just needed tidying, good maintenance, and some aesthetics. 7. ALL the tenants hated your team. They didn't like the $50 charges for things like replacing batteries. (I have smoke alarms checked 2x a year as a standard part of maintenance and safety.) The tenants felt disrespected and ignored. They knew how nice the property could be but felt mentioning anything to you or your team would NOT result in anything being fixed. Here is my original review, for those interested, and I've attached a photo of my previous review and their other location where there is much more information: "Ugghhh. Just started looking for a PM for our Benicia property. Be forewarned that a MAJOR reason Vallejo's properties aren't in "above the rent a crack dealer can afford" is due to Krystle Properties management philosophy. (This comment was said to me by a tenant as an explanation for the condition of the property when I purchased a residential commercial property managed by Krystle Properties.) After speaking with my new tenant community, one of the first things I did was fire Krystle. That year I raised the rents 20%, fixed the broken screens, hired a gardener, and fixed the unsightly repairs done by her "team", and began to build a plan for the property to shine. The results speak for themselves... The Cap Rate went from 7% to 25% in 5 yrs. Yes, I'm not kidding about how badly marketed and managed this place was!!! Given they'd been managing it for +6 years, they also cost the seller $X00,000 during the sale, since Cap Rates drive commercial property pricing. If you are considering a PM for your rental, understand that KPM thinks all potential/current tenants are beneath them and will treat them as such. There are also more incentives for PMs to have turnover than to set the rental rates high enough to provide quality maintenance to attract tenants with high incomes and job security. We are going into a deep recession. You need to be VERY careful with who you choose to partner with during this coming era."

We contacted Bill to have him check out our current property to go over what options were available (buying or renting it out) in hopes to find a larger property. We came up with a game plan. We decided to buy and sell at the same time which seems like a huge hassle/ headache, but in all reality, Bill made BOTH transactions as seamless as possible. He definitely goes to bat for his clients and communicated every little step of the way. I'm huge on communication and there was never a time where we were left out of the loop or he didn't run things by us etc. He is awesome at what he does and his marketing is OUT OF THIS WORLD. We got above asking price for our home he marketed and bought the house of our dreams. I HIGHLY recommend Bill Davis if you are looking to Buy/ Sell or even just pick his brain, he is very personable and knowledgeable. Bill, you have clients FOR LIFE. THANK YOU FOR VERY MUCH.

As my partner and I work in the city during the week, Bill made himself available to show us houses when it was convenient for us. Even though we couldn't afford our dream house right out of the gate, Bill had very good ideas on how to make the houses that were in our price range work for our family. While we found the perfect (for us now) home during an open house tour, Bill worked quickly to get the best price/terms possible, also informing us of possible scenarios that could arise as the home was currently being used as a rental. He also went above and beyond walking the property with the home inspector when I absolutely could not keep that appointment, keeping me informed of the results. And after closing on our new home he one upped himself and went into his tool belt and pulled out info for great painters and pros to use. He made our transition into homeownership just as super easy and seamless as he made our townhome exit. I can't wait to work with Bill Davis again. Five star service!

It is with great sincerity and appreciation that I offer this review for Solano Property…read moreManagement. In an industry where consistency, transparency, and professionalism are often promised yet not always delivered, this organization stands as a refreshing exception. Their operational excellence is not merely superficial--it is deeply embedded in the way they conduct business, communicate with clients, and manage properties with precision and care. A significant part of this seamless experience can be attributed to Jim, who oversees operations with a level of competence and diligence that is both rare and commendable. His ability to orchestrate the many moving parts of property management--tenant relations, maintenance coordination, financial oversight, and compliance--demonstrates a refined understanding of the field. What distinguishes Jim is not only his technical proficiency but also his unwavering commitment to accountability and responsiveness. Every interaction reflects a high degree of professionalism, thoughtful consideration, and respect for both property owners and tenants alike. From a landlord's perspective, entrusting a property to a management company requires confidence in their ability to protect your investment while maximizing its potential. Solano Property Management delivers on this expectation with remarkable efficiency. Their processes are streamlined, their communication is clear and timely, and their attention to detail ensures that nothing is overlooked. For tenants, the experience is equally impressive--requests are handled promptly, concerns are addressed with urgency, and there is a genuine sense that the company values long-term relationships over short-term convenience. What I find particularly noteworthy is the organization's balance between structure and adaptability. They maintain strong systems and protocols, yet remain flexible enough to handle unique situations with sound judgment and professionalism. This is a testament to strong leadership, and Jim's influence in maintaining operational integrity is evident throughout. Without hesitation, I would highly recommend Solano Property Management to anyone seeking a reliable, sophisticated, and results-driven property management partner. Whether you are looking to place your property on the rental market or searching for a well-managed residence, you can proceed with full confidence knowing that your interests will be handled with the utmost care and expertise.
