Have been with Sasoon and Spectra since late 2022 and they have been excellent. We checked out probably a dozen total management companies, and pretty much all had higher monthly "rent roll" fees, a bloated, complicated company structure with too many employees (Spectra is Sasoon's baby and they are still a family run operation -- you get his cell #), and ambiguity about what would happen with things like an eviction, etc. Sasoon was also the one who gave us the highest estimate of what our property could be rented out for (beating some "estimates" by ~$800 per month in rent), and he was pretty not far off in the end! So for us, it was really a no brainer. He's just the guy you want. For whatever it's worth, we were out of the country when it was time to get our house ready and rented and he offered various options for getting some work done to get the house ready at really pretty great prices (he has some hookups with some of his regular contractors), and was spot on with what things we needed to probably just update and what we could get away with not touching. So if you need someone who can expeditiously handle stuff without you being near the property, he is awesome at that too. With respect to that other review here which claims he berated and screamed at someone... um... I can tell you with near absolutely certainty that this does not sound like him. He is perhaps the most cool, calm and collected person I know. At the very least, if you have a property to rent (in our case, a single family home), just include him on your list of people to call and give him a chance. You've got nothing to lose and everything to gain. read more

Sasoon was able to provide the board a comprehensive budget to complete the roof and pavement replacement projects for my HOA. Unfortunately, he was fired by one of the most "corrupted" board of directors, who didn't want to pay for her fair share of special assessment by rehiring the most "corrupted" property management company whose employees taught her how to embezzle VGTOA fund in order for her to pay her fair share of special assessment. read more

This company is a scam. They charge for every application but either don't get back to you about it or you have to contact them multiple times. It does not seem like they choose tenants based on actual submitted applications. Save your money and go somewhere else! Edit: after submitting the second email request on their website and calling, I was contacted by them. They gave me options on how to move forward and ammended the situation. I appreciated that so changing rating of low to neutral. Thanks read more

Seda who is a property realtor for a certain property is the most incompetent person. We had a appointment to view a rental she was managing. The appointment was for 1:30 pm we waited 50 minutes called office repeatedly. Finally 2 pm a associate answered apologized. Seda then called and made it feel like it was us a fault (haven't you made mistakes before) is was she said to us. I told her you made the appointment. This is how incompetent she seemed to us. read more

Friendly and professional. Always available to respond. Best customer service.Very understanding

This review is for the extremely unprofessional actions of Sasoon Mananian and his Property Supervisor, Chris Ayala, of Spectra Associates Inc. Sasoon and Chris weren't doing the job I was paying them to do. My tenants informed me of a broken dishwasher for which I coordinated and scheduled all the vendor appointments to diagnose the issue (plumber/appliance technician, and rodent exterminators). Turns out I needed to replace my dishwasher. Chris and I had discussed since June 2023 about getting a new dishwasher for my rental. He agreed to supervise the installation as long as I gave him a week's notice, which I did. I found a new dishwasher online and targeted installation on Saturday, Aug 19. I informed Chris of this date in an attempt to expedite the job, citing my tenant's expressed impatience. Chris confirmed on the phone on 8/16/23 that he can be there to supervise the installation on 8/26/2023 because that date worked better for him than 8/19. So far so good. I ordered a new dishwasher on 8/17/23 with a delivery date of 8/26 since Chris confirmed he could be there to supervise. I emailed Chris more than 3 times to confirm he'll be there. It is Thursday, 8/24 - two days before the delivery - and still no response from my Spectra. This was worrying. I called Spectra on 8/24 around 1:30pm PT and talked to Sasoon who said Chris conveniently stepped out to be onsite, and that he'd relay my message to him. When I told Sasoon on the call that Chris was ignoring my emails, Sasoon defensively said I wasn't being "fair" to him, because Chris had called "many vendors" for my "one dishwasher issue". This is NOT true. Chris only called one appliance vendor who I've used before, and Best Buy, but only because I asked him to. I've had to twist their arms working with these guys to get something done. I had to push Chris for a previous gardening job which was reported at end of March/April 2023, but it didn't happen until May. Sasoon had been CC'd on all communications. He could've responded to any of my emails, but didn't. This is a testament to how lazy Spectra is and wants to line their pockets but will make no effort to communicate with you and ignore your requests. I called Chris again at 3:30pm and this time spoke to Seda, who said she'd text him. She said he went onsite to Beverly Hills. Chris finally called me back and said he couldn't be there on 8/26 because he "made plans to be out of town" for the weekend and "what are you going to do about it?". This, despite the fact he agreed to supervise on 8/26, and after I gave him a week's notice. He yelled loudly over me, making excuses for walking back on his word, saying he thought I wouldn't buy a dishwasher until Labor Day sales. However, I told AND wrote Chris several different times that I wanted to take care of this by end of August, not wait until September. He also complained on the phone that Beverly Hills was closer and that my property is "three times as far". Well, too bad. You guys are the ones who agreed to be my PM, knowing full well my property location. Suck it up and do your damned jobs. That's what I'm paying you for. Avoidance, backing out of their word, not owning up, and yelling/intimidation is NO way to treat anyone. I sent Spectra an email after Chris' call, reminding them again that he agreed to be at my rental on 8/26, and asked for confirmation that someone will show up to supervise. No response. At this point on 8/24/23, I was angry and ready to fire them. The next day, Friday 8/25/23: still no response or call from Sasoon to make things right. Fed up, I called Sasoon, who, instead of apologizing for failure to respond, proceeded to use this as an opportunity to TALK OVER and SCREAM at me, berate me, and not listen to a word I had to say. His yelling/talking over me lasted a while until he finally paused. I was shocked that a business owner that 1) I'm paying, and 2) purported a 5-star review, would raise his voice, talk over me, and be so rude and abusive to a client. Shortly after that call, Sasoon emailed me a "Notice of Termination of Management Services", which is ironic, because I was about to fire them for not living up to their promises. He proceeded to lie in the email, falsely accusing me of "yelling and aggressively berating [him] personally", which is bullshit. During the call, I paused to let him speak because him stopped me, which he took as a chance to yell, berate me, and talk over me for a very long time. His defensiveness is telling of his incompetence and patterns of not owning up to his mistakes. Do not believe him. Be warned, walk away. Spectra's failure to fulfill obligations per the PMA, including supervising onsite and performing routine inspections, is a blatant breach of contract.

Spectra Associates Property Management - Property Management Near Me - Montrose, California

Best management Company I've ever worked with! Thanks to Sasoon and Chris for always being responsible & professional :)) read more

Spectra Associates managed our Association (a 58 unit HOA) for many years, during that time I served two-plus years as President of the HOA. During that time, Sasoon Mananian, President of Spectra Associates, Inc., and his company exhibited a very professional profile and always was conscious of the requirements and needs of the HOA. Some of the traits exhibited are as follows: 1. Comprehensive understanding of the requirements (Federal, State, and Local) for the HOA. 2. Complete understanding of the HOA regarding administrative elements, including requirements for proper authorization of Board of Directors minutes and approvals. 3. Diligent efforts to ensure HOA projects were competitively bid and that administration of the contract(s) was reported timely to the Board. 4. In-depth financial reporting for ease of tracing financial transactions while maintaining relevant records. 5. Always attended Board meetings and made sure that minutes were up to date and actions approved in accordance with legal requirements. I would highly recommend this company and its management as they are a first-rate professional organization. read more

For over 2 years, Spectra Associates has worked with me to help find qualified tenants for my condo in Montrose and for my parents' apartments. Sasoon has worked with me from beginning to end-- from taking pictures of the units, preparing and placing the listings, showing the units, doing all background checks, and preparing the lease documents. Sasoon is very professional, very knowledgeable about tenant-landlord laws, and has always answered any questions I had or any concerns I brought up. Moreover, Sasoon and his staff have communicated well with me, always have a pleasant demeanor in all my interactions with them, and have been able to find me tenants expeditiously. The fees I have been charged for finding a qualified tenant to sign a lease have been reasonable. If you have a property you would like to rent within a 5 mile radius of Montrose, Spectra Associates can help you find a qualified tenant. I manage my own properties but Spectra Associates will also manage your property if you are looking for a full-service property management company. read more

I became an HOA Board member last year and the first order of business was OUT with the old unresponsive management company. After interviewing several companies the Board selected Spectra Associates and things began to turn around immediately! As soon as Sasoon came on board, we started getting things done. In the past, our HOA spent a lot of time talking about what needed to be done but never actually figuring out how to move forward. Sasoon provided the missing ingredient of a professional third party to coordinate and follow through on the things necessary to bring our ideas to fruition. Sasoon oversaw every step of the process from obtaining bids, coordinating appointments to even meeting some of the vendors onsite as needed. The other positive change noted by the homeowners in general is the kind attitude from their office. Phone calls and emails are replied to quickly and things actually getting done, imagine that! read more

I was in the market last year for a property management company to take over rental management duties for my multi-unit, I was looking to get out of the day to day oversight and automate things a bit. Spectra has been the property management company for a family friend for a number of years so I considered them along with a number of other management companies in the area. Ultimately the pricing structure and the recommendation of my friend brought them out on top and I brought them on board. The main pros from my perspective have been that they are up to date on the tech side of things with online payment options for tenants, direct deposits for my monthly payout and electronically delivered financial reports each month. Their office is big enough to get the job done right but small enough to where I feel I'm taken care of and they know me and my tenants personally. There are a lot of property management companies in this area for some reason and I'm happy I came across Spectra. read more

After dealing with a shaddy (won't drop names cuz I'm a gentleman) management company, my homeowners association was referred to Spectra Associates by our attorney. Our HOA needed a manager that is responsive to emails and phone calls, organized and knowledgeable. Thats exactly what we got with Spectra! The owner is a stand-up dude. We felt that we could trust him to take some of the load off of the Board. Our HOA was in a mess before, all good now! - Worth the cost - Easy to contact - Trustworthy read more

Sasoon from Spectra Associates was my property manager for the last year. He is extremely professional and very responsive to my questions and requests. I would definitely recommend him to someone who needs help with property management and sales! read more

My husband and I were looking for a property management company for some time to manage our rental property, a mid-sized multi-unit. We asked around for recommendations and interviewed about half a dozen property management companies before settling on Spectra. While their reviews and recommendations were great, we were especially happy to find out about their management pricing and modern technology. Our tenants are now able to pay their rent online among other things, which is great for tenant retention and we as owners receive our financial reports online. They seem to have good vendors as well. I have a habit of checking in with my tenants personally after a repair to ask how repairs went, if the vendor was clean, did a good job, etc., and we've had no issues so far. We've also received good input from our property manager Sasoon on preventative maintenance that was needed and relayed by their vendors. This is the proactive management that I was hoping for to help maintain our property condition over the long term. read more

These guys are the best; responsive, smart and very reasonably priced. We had a horrible HOA management company that was twice the cost. We ditched them and went with Spectra and have very happy with the results. Sasoon Mananian is fantastic. Highly recommended! read more

I have been a customer of Spectra for about 6 mos. They manage my mom's home that we turned into a rental property. The have been unfailingly helpful and professional. Sassoon and his staff are very attentive to my needs and those of our Tenant. They also handled the finding and vetting of potential renters for us. They have also taken care of a few small tenant issues that have cropped up. Minor repairs or changes the tenant wanted. Of course they check with me first, but it has all been necessary or reasonable items. Lastly, there was some damage done due to carelessness on the part of the tenant and they took care of that issue. They were somewhat under the gun for this property, as we were moving to a new home in Idaho and needed to have a tenant before that deal closed. Lastly, their fees are very reasonable considering all that they do. Much less than I was expecting from my research. I will continue to use them and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a property management firm. They are outstanding.!*!*!*! read more
