Low balling for engagement is dirty work Patrize.

I would have definitely considered the place at 4k since my budget is well beyond that but these type of practices just don't sit right with me. No better than the scammers on CL IMO

On each of my property sales Tom negotiated the highest return on our properties. We even set the bar for price per square foot for our neighborhood. I know our neighbors will be happy, and I'm sure Tom will be getting a number of calls for his superb services. Tom also helped us purchase our new home. With 3 transactions all occurring at the same time, Tom made sure our priorities and best interests were met. He was able to negotiate our new home purchase at well below asking. I've spoke with and worked with with other agents in the past. I didn't realize the lack in knowledge and service I experienced before. If you need a professional agent who can manage and coordinate the best deals for his clients, Tom is your guy.

What I was most impressed with was that i didn't feel forced or even slightly pressured to make a purchase. He actually dissuaded me from making a bad choice even though he would had made a better commission! This is one of those times when the experience was far easier and less intimidating than what I thought it was going to be just because I had the right guy in my corner. Thanks Tom and Maya! And congrats on the new born!

Diana at The Rental Xperts leased us a nice house in Encinitas. Seven years later, it was time for…read moreus downsize. We moved out last week. Our impressions from start to finish: - Diana and her team are straight shooters: never over-promised, always over-delivered. With quick replies to questions, and solid resolutions. Every time. - We've had landlords who treated us like adversaries from day one, and others who went there the first time we reported a maintenace issue. In seven years, through Covid, multiple lease renewals, and few expensive maintenance issues, Diana never once went adversarial. Always polite, friendly, kind, and clearly committed to keeping us safe and satisfied. Even when we disagreed a couple times, she took the high road. (So we had no excuse but to do likewise.) - Moving out is hell. But Diana and her team made this move feel more like "heck" :) They checked in to see how we were doing, and went out of their way to time tours with prospective new tenants and visits from maintenance people to fit our schedule. And in the final walkthrough, when Diana caught a couple big things we had missed in our cleaning, she let us come back the next day to take care of them. So she wouldn't have to charge them against our deposit. (This was a first for us. - Another first: While we were searching for our next home, Diana volunteered to write us a letter of recommendation to prospective landlords. She didn't embellish (see "straight-shooter" above) -- just described her experience as our landlord. After several slow responses from various landlords, we got an immediate Yes from the first landlord who read the letter. Bottom line: If you're a square-dealer looking for a non-adversarial landlord-tenant relationship with same, Diana and The Rental Xperts are your kind of people.

Diana V has been wonderful to work with. My husband and I rented a condo in Carlsbad from The…read moreRental Xperts for the last few years and it has been easy and smooth sailing the whole time. We had planned to move out at the end of our lease to a new home we were building, and several times we had a construction delay and had to extend our lease last minute. Diana was super patient and worked with our ever-changing schedule - and we were able to stay in the condo without issue. Otherwise we would have had to stay at a hotel or with relatives for months. During the years we were there, she was responsive and helpful. When we were finally ready to move out, the process was so easy and the cleaning fees/move-out fees were fair with no surprises. I highly recommend The Rental Xperts whether you need a rental or are looking for a renter!

Loren Sanders and his partner Diana Gallardi at Sea Coast Exclusive Properties completely…read moremis-managed and mis-represented a high end home rental for us a few weeks ago. They even congratulated us and sent over a fully prepared lease, which we signed. Come to find out 3 days later, they were apparently working with the seller and other interested parties concurrently and having us bid against each other. Highly unethical in my opinion, especially since they were our realtors too, and should have been representing our best interests as well. We even agreed to offer over $50k in advance to lock down the property, and they prepared a full lease for us, which we signed. Then we find out they did the same with someone else! There are a lot of additional details left out, including non responsiveness, and overall lack of genuine professionalism and integrity, etc. In summary, we would not recommend Loren or Diana to anyone. Ever.

Systems - like needing to hold a minimum of $1000 in your account for incidental spending that does not need approval. My request is that all spending needs to be discussed and approved. We are in the digital age. There would never be an instance where i can not be reached. But he's got old school "systems" that no longer holds water and may not be most efficient for modern digital/AI age. Yes WES BaeSSEMER did put in a very reliable trustworthy tenant -- but left it empty for 2 1/2 mos during peak rental season with almost no showing per our continuous camera recording and our door lock that notifies us when the door is unlocked, or a garage door is opened. While I had multiple people knock on my door to inquire about it. I sent these folks his way. He did have other properties he diverts prospects to. He told me this is what he does. That this would be a benefit for us. Though you could see how it also would not be. Incidentally all his listings that sat there previously for months got filled! There were previous reviews that questioned whether the property was actually rented or whether he just chose not to show it.

We stayed at a "luxury" home managed by Swell Property and were very disappointed…read more The outdoor areas were unusable. Patio furniture was extremely dirty with moldy cushions, a toilet brush was left on the primary bedroom patio, the BBQ was filthy with only two burners working, and the backyard was dirty enough that we had to clean it ourselves. Inside, the home was not properly cleaned. We found mouse traps with bait in a kitchen drawer, dirty rugs, mold in the shower, loose toilet seats, several TVs that did not work, and sticky, deteriorating remotes. The couch was covered and visibly filthy, more like dorm furniture than a luxury rental. The pool table netting was ripped so balls fell to the floor, sports balls were flat, and a rusted outdoor table stained my husband's jacket. After checkout, the property manager called once, said he would follow up, then stopped responding. When a property is advertised as luxury, guests should not have to clean or deal with broken amenities while on vacation. This was not close to the standard promised.
