When you point out discrepancies in the charges, she replies with "I can charge what ever I want." Even the long time manager who worked here, Jamie, has left. Since Jamie left the owner Kristy took over and it has gone way down hill. We had to email multiple times when the hot water heater went out. On Google, most of their positive reviews are from people who work there. Like Cheri Elliott. She works in their front office. This company is a fraud all the way around.

This rental agency, while being very friendly and helpful at first, exercises little discretion when flagrently spending your secruity deposit to spruce-up your vacancy for the next prospective renter. Once we decided to leave our former residence we (my family and I) spent 1 month cleaning and preparing for the move, afterwhich we paid a pro-rated rent to keep the property open an additional 7days in order to have PROFESSIONAL cleaners come in and take care of the finishing touches as well... That was not good enough for this agency :o(... They NEEDLESSLY spent in excess of $800.00 of our $1,000.00 deposit on high-end replacment fixtures, new carpets and a cleaning fee on top of that !! Regardless of how immacualte you decide to maintain or even to leave a property DO NOT expect a return of your monies from this management company :o( Regretfully signed XXX Jack S.

They definitely don't have their client's (seller) best interest in mind and if you need to sell your real estate quickly, don't count on them. I am a potential buyer who was interested in one of their listings. We live 1 1/2 hours away from the property and have our terminally ill father living with us, so before we made the drive, I contacted the listing agent (Lisa Frahm-Hinkle) with a list of questions. She answered a couple of questions, but not all, so I asked if she could address the rest of them. I never heard back from her, so I contacted the ReMax Power Pros owner (Lea Chitwood) but she hasn't replied either. Too bad for the seller, because if the property was what we were looking for, we were prepared to make an offer the day we looked at it. The property couldn't be financed so the terms were "cash", which we had. It has been 11 days since I first contacted Lisa and I see the property listing is still active. Very, very disappointing from a consumer's point of view.

David is highly experienced in the rental business, very responsive (always picks up calls or responds within minutes), takes care of your property including repairs as though it were his own, and is flexible to meet your particular needs.

In addition, strong wind storms damaged the property and David coordinated the repair of damage to the outside of the house and oversaw the work directly to ensure it was done properly. For someone living out of state Pioneer gave me confidence that my property was being well managed. Thank you!

The backyard could never be used in the winter because the grass was to thin and you would sink an inch in mud from all the rain. It grew green algae as well. The management would not do a walk thru so it was your word against there's if they claim to have found something. The owner also questioned my ESA letter from my doctor. He the owner would come in every 2 months to change the filter and it was always around dinner time. There is a lot of police activity on NW 5th Ave and therefore I did not feel safe. The rent is to high for the neighborhood. They charged me 600.00 for labor to paint a few areas. Totally out of line. It was up for rent within a few days because I left it spotless.

I've been dealing with this HOA management company for the past five years, and unfortunately, the…read moreexperience has been consistently disappointing. From the start, the communication has been poor, and the management--particularly Judy--has been unprofessional and unresponsive. I've received years' worth of nitpicky complaints about minor issues like slightly dry patches of grass, which I've managed to shrug off. But this year has truly been the tipping point. After accidentally making a double payment, I contacted Judy immediately with instructions not to deposit the check if it arrived after I paid online. Despite our email exchange, the check was deposited the very next day. It took weeks of back and forth just to get my own money refunded. Now, there's an unapproved above-ground pool installed in a neighbor's backyard that is damaging my fence. I've sent multiple emails with photos, and after weeks, I've yet to receive any response or acknowledgment. This company is a joke. They operate out of their home, and the lack of transparency and accountability is staggering. I strongly believe this management group should be replaced by a professional company that actually communicates, enforces rules fairly, and provides transparency about where our dues are going. I would happily pay more for proper management that takes the responsibilities of an HOA seriously.

I'm uploading this review on Yelp as I see they are deleting my reviews on their Google page…read more Renters beware -- this company is SHADY. For starters, they use a terrible 3rd party company for their application processing fees. Sunworld themselves are extremely hard to get ahold of for ANYTHING. I had to call numerous times and ask to be transferred and leave voicemails over the 4 days it took to hear back about the applications that my partner and I spent $110 on. Their ads are extremely deceitful & do NOT accurately reflect the amount of fees that you will be subject to, especially if you are a pet owner. The specific unit we applied for said it was pet friendly for both dogs & cats, required a $75 admin fee per pet & $35 a month pet rent per pet. Nothing less, nothing more. Our application was finally denied after 4 days, with the reasoning on mine being "low income" (I'm a stay at home mom with really good credit), and my partners reason being bad credit. We immediately contacted the property manager named Sharon & offered her a higher security deposit if they would be willing to accept that. We then asked if paying off the specific credit problem would make us eligible for the unit. She said if we gave her proof that we paid off the debt she would get our application approved. We immediately paid our debt, got proof & sent it over to her. She then sends us an email apologizing for the "confusion", and saying that they are now choosing to deny us due to the property owners 2 pet maximum which was NEVER brought to our attention or stated in the ads or on their website AT ALL. Mind you, we have one small border collie & two small indoor cats and would have never wasted money on applying if we were aware of this policy. We then called Sharon to ask why they would accept our application without being up front in their ads about the pet maximum, and we were met with a repeated answer of "there's nothing we can do" so we requested to speak to her manager. We were then connected with Paul Van Baalen who agreed to speak with the owner of the property & Sharon about a possible exception of the "rule" due to it not being stated in the ad. We then received an acceptance email stating that we would need to pay a $1495 security deposit AND a $1500 security deposit for our pets, which would be $500 per pet. This $500 per pet security deposit was never stated in the ad and when we questioned this, we were told "sorry it was left out of the ad, but it's company policy and you can look at any of our other listings and it will tell you that." I then told Sharon that we were not going to be renting from them due to their deceptive ads & lack of transparency causing us to lose money and time. After I thought all was said and done, I received a phone call from Paul Van Baalen AFTER HOURS telling me that we "ought to find someone else to rent from because this is going to be a bad marriage if it's already starting out this way" and that he "knows that people like us will throw every RCW in the book at them". Since he wants to bring up RCW, here's one for him. Under RCW 59.18.257, landlords must provide written disclosure of all tenant screening criteria, including policies that may lead to denial, before collecting application fees. Failure to disclose a $500 per pet deposit in the initial written criteria violates this statute and constitutes an unfair or DECEPTIVE PRACTICE. In the end I'm EXTREMELY GLAD that we aren't stuck renting from this deceptive company & will never be involved in anything that has Paul Van Baalen attached to it.
