Their customer service is top-notch--they're always responsive, professional, and genuinely helpful whenever I have questions or need assistance. Maintenance requests are handled promptly, and the staff always treats residents with respect and kindness. What I appreciate most is that they make living here a positive experience. They care about their tenants and work hard to keep the property well-managed and comfortable. It's one of the reasons I've chosen to stay for so long. I would definitely recommend 101 Property Mgmt to anyone looking for a property management company that values its residents.

Avoid this place -- premium rent, poor living conditions, and unfair management…read more I lived in a so-called premium Apartment E and paid one of the highest rents in the complex, yet the living conditions were terrible. The unit was a heat trap with no fan or proper ventilation, even though other units in the complex do have fans. I often felt suffocated. Management was informed and took no action. The apartment is located near the parking area, and the unit was constantly full of dust no matter how often I cleaned. There was also frequent management and maintenance noise around Apartment E, making the "premium" label misleading. The toilet clogged almost every week, even with very light and normal use. This was a recurring issue that was never properly resolved. Before moving out, I wiped down all furniture surfaces, and the unit was left in good condition. Despite this, I was charged 5.5 hours of "general cleaning" for a studio apartment, which is completely unreasonable. Carpet cleaning was not even counted in that 5.5 hours. I formally requested a pre-move-out inspection, asked to be present, and requested 48-hour notice. None of this was honored. When I went to the office on a weekday before move-out, it was closed without notice, so I was never given a chance to address any concerns in advance. The cleaning was done about 10 days after I moved out, raising concerns that the hours charged reflect dust accumulation over time rather than my move-out condition. When I questioned this, management pushed responsibility onto the cleaning company instead of explaining or correcting the charge. After that, management stopped responding. Even returning the undisputed portion of my security deposit was delayed and required repeated follow-ups. High rent, poor living conditions, constant issues, and unfair deposit practices. Avoid this place and rent elsewhere.

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.

Kathleen and Eli are absolutely amazing!! I enjoyed every interaction I had with these two…read morewonderful women! 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." If you do decide to rent from them, tell them you read a review on Yelp from Quintin haha

I have had two of my children rent from Harwin Co. while attending UCSB over the past 6 years. I…read morecannot thank them enough for the care they took of my kids while they were away from home. Yes, it is a property management company, but they also are people taking care of people and they did a STELLAR JOB with my kids and their roommates. My kids had some issues with repairs and roommates all of which were resolved in a PROFESSIONAL and TIMELY matter. I found them to be totally FAIR and EASY to communicate and do business with. They also had provided some emotional support when their was a roommate situation that the kids had trouble dealing with. This was above and beyond what any other property mgt company I have ever dealt with has done or would do. They have a HEART! My kids and their roommates were late paying rent twice. The first time they were nice enough to waive the late fee. The second time, I am glad they had to pay a late fee. *That is a life lesson that these kids are supposed to be learning in college before they get out into the "real world". I have seen the condition some of these students leave their places in when they leave for the summer. As a parent, I am appalled. If you break something or leave it a mess, you should be held accountable as someone else has to pay to fix or clean it up. ALL CHARGES MY KIDS INCURRED WERE WELL DOCUMENTED WITH PHOTOS AND RECEIPTS FOR REPAIR. I appreciated this so my kids could not tell me they left the place in perfect condition when they clearly had not. Harwin Co. has been nothing but professional, timely, honest and has taken great care of my kids while away from home.

Kamap management has treated me horribly as a tenant. I lived in the Aladdin apartments for the…read more22-23 school year. Upon moving out, Paul claimed it took 4.75 gallons of paint and 13 hours of labor to repaint the 561 square foot apartment for a total cost of $820, which was removed from my security deposit. They were unwilling to reevaluate those costs or refund me even with evidence that I left the walls in accordance with their move out instructions. In addition, I was charged for normal wear and tear issues, like a $100 replacement of those flimsy plastic vertical blinds. There are sneaky hidden fees when roommates pay for rent separately. The building itself is in dire condition. It's an accessibility nightmare, with a driveway so steep my bumper scraped the ground each time I drove to my parking spot. On the curb outside the building and in the driveway there was a constant sewage-smelling sludge that never got cleaned up. The underground laundry room always stank of sewage and the washing machines were often broken for months at a time. The interior of the apartment had next to no storage and did not have an exhaust fan above the stove. The reason that they do the "split singles" is that the second bedroom lacks a window. The walls and ceilings were incredibly thin and I could hear everything my neighbors got up to. If you have to stay here, don't expect your security deposit back, and expect to have pretty miserable living conditions.

Management will blatantly lie and blame you for everything and find ways to take your money…read more We lived in an apartment that was next to the main entrance from the parking lot at la loma. Our kitchen window was broken and they tried to pin it on us, saying that the on-site manager saw several people partying in our apartment when in reality nobody was even home that night. It wasn't until we showed them multiple pieces of evidence and a police report that they backed off but they still charged us for window repairs because it was "in the lease". No apology or anything for blaming us and trying to snake our money by lying. Super shady. Maintenance requests will end in charging you for every little thing done to the place. One good thing to come out of living here for a year is that I will now carefully read every single line of every lease I ever sign from now on. Bottom line, DONT RENT FROM THEM!

I measure how sleazy an apartment complex is by how hard they try to screw you on the security…read moredeposit when you leave. This place takes the cake. My son rented a one bedroom at the Skyview on Camino Pescadero with two of his friends. They spent almost an entire day after moving out to make sure the place was clean. First of all, the complex charges the tenant $40 per hour for an "evaluator" to look at the place. They charge a painting fee for any scuff marks they find. They also have a worksheet listing fifteen or twenty items for each room and these things are so petty. You don't just get a charge for cleaning the stove, you get separate charges for each component. For example, separate fees for cleaning the stove top, cleaning under stove burners, cleaning stove hood and light, cleaning inside oven, cleaning the back and side of oven and cleaning the oven racks/broiler pan. All together, the maximum charge just for the stove can be $42. My son lucked out and only had to pay $29 for a stove they cleaned before they left. Cleaning the back of an oven? Really? There is a potential charge of $20 per room for washing windows, separate charges (per room) for not cleaning switchplate covers, washing the window screens, cleaning the mirror on the medicine cabinet, etc. If you do stay here, don't forget to dust the top of the door frames when you leave because that will cost you $20. BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Then there is the two days downtime they charge for cleaning the place. Another $107 bye bye. This place is ridiculous....

Skyline Property Management: Six Stars - They Deliver!…read more Several years ago, as neophytes to being 'landlords', we took the recommendation of a real estate agent/friend and hired Skyline. Robert & Christy walked us through what we needed to do to prepare our rental, advised us on pricing, advertised and screened applicants for us, negotiated the rental contract and then managed the property once tenants were 'in'. They were professional, thorough and made the entire process EASY! Recently we have also seen Skyline in action from the renter's perspective when our son contacted them about an apartment they were managing. Again, Skyline's Robert & Christy were the consummate professionals. They put my son at ease and were straightforward about the process, the documents they needed, and their expectations once my son qualified for the rental. They have been quick to respond to needed repairs and are always available to answer questions. They are compassionate people who really enjoy their work! I recommend Skyline Property Management to landlords and renters. They are the real deal!

As the owner of a local home inspection company with over 20 years serving the Santa Barbara…read morecommunity, I've had the opportunity to work with Kyle Richardson and The Richardson Team on hundreds of real estate transactions over the years, and they are among the most knowledgeable and professional real estate teams in Santa Barbara. One of the things that stands out most is the generational depth of experience behind their work. Their understanding of the Santa Barbara market comes from decades of professional stewardship serving local real estate clients, and that depth of knowledge shows in the high-caliber guidance and strategy they bring to each transaction. I've been involved in many of their transactions over the years and have seen firsthand how much they prioritize transparency and truly advocate for their clients. They take the time to ensure buyers and sellers fully understand the condition of a property and the decisions they are making along the way, always advocating for their clients' best interests at every step. The Richardson Team represents the very best of professionalism in our local real estate community. I'm always glad when we have the opportunity to work together and would confidently recommend them to anyone buying or selling a home in Santa Barbara. -- Shelby Hendrix HouseMaster Home Inspections
