I have been utilizing the services of Sonoma County Property Rentals for a little over a year now…read moreand I can honestly say that they are by far the BEST I have ever dealt with. As an owner of rental properties for more than 20 years, I have hired many property managers both in Sonoma County and other areas of California. Laura, the property manager, has been the most knowledgeable, responsive and friendliest of all the managers I have worked with. She is simply outstanding! I'm currently dealing with a difficult situation while trying to sell my property with a tenant in place. Laura has been patient and kind as well as responsive to all of my requests. I highly recommend this team to manage your rentals. Their fees are good too, lower than most!

This review is for Property Owners: My wife spoke with Chris at length about renting our house in…read moreHealdsburg. I spoke with him, too, and he came across to me as smart, competent, and very able to rent our house. This was mid-July of 2020. By December 31, his assistant, Laura, wrote us to say there wasn't interest in our house. We immediately called another property manager who genuinely couldn't understand why the house hadn't been rented. She had a signed rental contract 8 days later. Read that last sentence again. This is why I'm writing this review. During the almost 6 month period we had the house with SCPR, I received a few emails from Laura: The prospective renter wanted $ off the rent, or had some other ask. We always compromised with the request, but nothing ever happened. The house was furnished when we signed the contract with Chris. At the time he said that it added a challenge, but that they would get it done. At some point Laura indicated that, because the house was furnished, they were having a hard time finding renters. When the house was still unrented in November, my wife and I went up, packed up the furnishings and asked them to take new photos. Then came a couple more of the same asks: Would we take $ off the rent, etc., etc.? Nothing happened with the home. Then the "nobody's interested in your property" email. I'll leave it at this: Our experience was that our house sat empty for almost 6 months, immediately followed by the next property manager raising the asking rent by $200/month (from the asking price that SCPR set) and it was rented in 8 days!

I highly recommend Mahoney Davison to any property owner who worries about their home being rented…read moreor to any renter that is looking for quality properties! We rented a beautiful townhome through Mahoney Davison. The price and condition of the home was the best in the area. They require a showing prior to application submittal, which helped us secure a home during the high volume rental and home sales of 2021. Our Property Manger, Korin, was involved for the whole process from start to when we moved out at the end of our lease. We had little issues during our lease, however when we did need to connect with the company or Korin, they were readily available to handle any situation. They have a great support staff and excellent vendors to facilitate maintenance needs. The organization is constantly evolving to be better than they were the month or year before and strive to provide excellent customer service.

Then they wanted another ID, so I sent another ID. I booked 6 appointments to tour the property that were all ignored. I followed up again and they tell me I never sent an ID (I did send an ID), and that the property was rented. I could not have done more and been more proactive to view an apartment. They dont return phone calls and they are not proactive. These people are awful. Kia De Borja is totally incompetent.
