Each time I've reached out to her, be it something minor or something important, she's prompt in getting back to me and she's excellent at following through until the situation is resolved. I appreciate her responses especially since AI and automation are at an all-time high. She's delightful to work with, and I know when I turn to her for questions or a problem, she will take care of it. On my scale of 1-10 (10 being the best) she is definitely a 10!

SJA managed our property in lake Stevens for about 2 years. Ugh. It was so poorly run that even…read moreafter we told them we were leaving we still did not get a timely reply back until I cc'd management and other staff we had interacted with on the emails. We calculated how much money we were getting after their fees and all the repairs they had done (for our 1990 house that was in great shape) and it turned out to be 65% of the rent. If you need anything be prepared to interact with their robust team of offshore folks in the Philippines. We are still unclear why we needed our septic pumped 2x within 2 years and were quoted $3-4k each time as they did not send us the detailed breakdown of the requested work. We had a suspicion that the folks they use for maintenance and for other repairs were financially incentivized or tied to the company as we did not receive multiple bids and it looked like SJA had ties to the company doing the work. Shout out to Kayla Schwartz who never answered any of my emails until I cc'd Claudette Scott. They did not seem to fully do walk throughs and left our property and wood floors covered in dog pee pads during the walk through. We requested that they not allow tenants to use our fireplace and found they had left that in the listing so we were legally obligated to allow it. Neat. If you want to lose significant amounts of value and gain 0 value except for a huge headache, SJA is the property management firm for you!

The contract required the sellers repair a faulty oven/range thermostat control knob.

Angelina was completely aware of this. Warning - do NOT do business with John L Scott.

Sellers be ware! We found them completely deceitful and unethical. Be VERY cautious before working…read morewith Jacob Hailey and the John L Scott Real Estate team. I have bought and sold over a dozen houses. We hired Jacob to purchase a property for flipping and then re-sell. Jacob recommended a resale price of the property between $1,395,000 and $1,450,000... supposedly backed by market data. After 6 months on the market (in a HOT market), it is obvious the market CANNOT support that sale price. Therefore he either completely misrepresented the market or falsified data to support his claims. In either case, based on his recommendation we invested more money on our remodel than originally planned to achieve that resale number that he recommended. After 3 months, no offers even near our list price. We then switched real estate agents to list our house, and the kicker... Jacob presents us with buyers and an offer for $1,050,000.... $345,000 - $400,000 LESS than what he said the property should sell for. And a price that he knows is lower than our total investment into the property. I HIGHLY recommend you do not work with Jacob Hailey or John L Scott Real Estate.

I don't know where to begin to shower our praises for Trish Coy and her team (including Sydney and…read moreBrandi). We have bought and sold our house with Trish. After the initial purchase of our house 8 years ago, there was no question as to who we would turn to to manage the sale of the property. Eight years ago, the market was CRAZY with houses lasting only hours and going for outrageous amounts over asking. My husband and I came from So California (thus understanding the market) with the goal of finding a house that weekend. We actually DID find a house that checked all of the boxes. I said- Trish, make this happen. With a carefully crafted offer (not outrageous over asking) she landed the deal. Trish remained in contact over the 8 years with referrals for painters, flooring, and contractors. Now selling in a flat market, again, Trish to the rescue with strategies that landed us EIGHT offers within the first few days. She prepared spreadsheets and walked us through everything. I will not only miss Trish as an agent but feel I moved out of state from a friend. She is attentive, responsive and most importantly very transparent with all aspects of the options with the purchasing as well as sale of a property. We felt supported at all times. I cannot recommend Trish and her dedicated team enough.

If you are a homeowners association looking for a management company, I would not recommend EMB…read moreManagement. Our experience has been consistently negative for several reasons: Poor communication and lack of follow‑through. Getting clear answers or timely responses is extremely difficult. Issues linger without resolution, even when they directly affect the community. Serious administrative failures. EMB allowed our association's liability insurance to lapse -- an unacceptable oversight that exposed the HOA to significant risk. Inadequate documentation. Their records for a condo resale certificate were incomplete and required multiple corrections. This created unnecessary delays and confusion during a time‑sensitive transaction. Undisclosed and unexplained fees. They charge homeowners fees to close an account, and additional fees appear on closing documents that the property manager claims to have "no knowledge of." This lack of transparency is unprofessional and erodes trust. Overall, EMB has demonstrated poor operational control, weak communication, and little accountability. I strongly recommend that any HOA considering them look elsewhere. I most likely will file a complaint with the state. I am really lucky, my buyer didn't back out of our deal given the management of the condo association

EMB has a mediocre reputation for a reason, the Yelp, Google and BBB ratings speak for themselves…read more I initially had a positive experience with our Community Association Manager Myah, however, as prior secretary of the HOA Board that employs EMB management, I had made a few purchases for the complex that required EMB to facilitate a reimbursement for the monies I spent on various things such as light bulbs, electrical outlet lock boxes, padlocks...etc, to name a few. However the most significant expense I incurred that EMB has for 2 months failed to reimburse me for was a locksmith invoice where I paid to have a simplex keypad lock installed on the pedestrian gate of our gated community. Attached to this review are emails dating back to December of last year. The icing on the cake was when they reimbursed another board member for a purchase for the complex that was submitted over a month after the submission of mine. I gave EMB a chance when I joined the board towards the end of last year. Myah seemed nice and professional. However, her follow through with this simple request has alienated me from the company. Many residents of the complex we live in resent them as well and have expressed their frustration with the company. See photos attached to this review of a snapshot of them complaining on Town Square. Town Square is a platform offer by EMB for complex's who hire them. It is a 3rd party that provides residents with a portal to access things such as documents, meeting minutes, pay their dues, as well as a community forum. While convenient, the company does not provide an edit button for residents and board members to use if they should post and need to correct a typo. Furthermore, replying to threads in the forum-like platform is difficult, as the window for which you type in is so small that you have to constantly scroll up and down to review what you have written before posting it. See attached photos for clarification. Aside from my own issue with the company. EMB has failed to post the 2024 reserve study provided by the accounting services they offer. I have attached snapshots of residents requesting said information, as a well as a text thread of the current HOA board realizing EMB never posted it in 2024, along with a snapshot of an email that the treasurer sent to Myah requesting it, but was never responded to. The current board president has considered switching to Vis Group Inc. and we probably should. We wanted to open a Amazon business account for board members to make purchases for the complex, but EMB stated that they would charge us a 30% fee of the transaction cost. Even though we, the Board and complex, pay them to work for us and management our money. They want to double dip and charge us a fee for spending our own money. I attached a snapshot of the text thread with the board discussing it. Stay away from this company.
