Rented a property from his team, had rats enter through a cabinet and eat through our food. Took them several weeks and calls/emails to deal with sealing off the hole in the wall and then when the guy finally cam out he did the sloppiest worst hole repair with a wire netting... with rats in the walls. When things began to heat up in April, a foul smell of dead rats and rat droppings began to erupt from underneath our kitchen cabinets. Our whole kitchen smelled terrible and our pots and pans began to pick up the door to the point we stopped storing them in the cabinets. I took me several months of emailing, calling, and texting before I had to go to the office and demand they do something or we will refuse to pay rent and sue as they were breaking the contract. Even called the Davis PD out to inspect but as the inspector started talking, it sounded like her pockets were getting lined by Mr. Zamora. My suspicions were confirmed when she refused to give me a write up of conditions to take to a lawyer. Seeing as Mr. Zamora is a man around town with city officials and the cops, my lawyer was unable to move forward with a case because I was never able to receive a condition of premises from the police. This guy, and his entire team are scum of the earth. Will definitely steal money from you with a smile and the cops will gladly help :)

As a tenant of this company for three years: beware of poor property management!…read more My housemates and I had a very challenging time getting in contact with our property manager, as they were unresponsive, terse, and unhelpful. Even after contacting management at the regional level, we continued to have very serious issues with management and lack of communication. We faced repairs of roof leaks, fences, and more that took months and during which we received no proactive communication or apologies. The whole time, our manager never once took ownership for their mistakes, and their boss did not hold them accountable either. Our rental with LYON was extremely frustrating and stressful as tenants, and I hope no one else has to have the same experience. I bear them no ill will, but want to help my community to rent well. Please keep this in mind before renting with them!

They have been timely and efficient with providing apartment tours and really go out of their way to try and find a good fit.

Peoples vehicles get stolen from there and they refuse to show footage of the incident and then magically can't find what you need anymore.

They treat collage students horribly after charging them $4,000 a month to live in a safe place. If your looking for rentals, I would most definitely stear clear of this place.

I appreciated them keeping us informed of how things were going, taking care of routine and minor maintenance when necessary, and consulting with us over a few larger items. Their bookkeeping was also very organized and timely. During the two years, we had two sets of renters in the place and I had a chance to inspect the property after each set left. I was very pleased at how much cleaning PPM did to the property after each renter left. While I haven't had experiences with any of property management places in Davis, I can say the PPM far exceeded my expectations in every respect.

It was really helpful for us to chat with different agents to get a sense of who felt like the right person to work with, and we're so glad to have gotten in touch with LuAnn. She clearly loves doing this job and isn't afraid to give you her two cents based on her years of experience. It's also so obvious that she loves the negotiating process, which was perfect for us since that was the part that filled us with the most dread. Despite a lot of competing offers on the home we wanted, LuAnn got our offer accepted before the showing weekend was even over. If we were ever to need an agent again, we would absolutely reach out to LuAnn. She has a competent team supporting her and a lot of resources set up and ready to go so that she can spend her time on the things that matter - keeping in close contact with us, keeping us updated when things happen, and jumping in at crunch time when people and processes the extra push.

If you are looking for a realtor who is honest, patient and hardworking, then Murre is your guy. Thanks Murre!

I feel very fortunate that a colleague referred me to Claire Black Slotton of First Street Real…read moreEstate. From the moment I decided to move to Davis, Claire shepherded me through the entire process with finesse and calm. It's easy to lose patience with a short sale (they take a LONG time) but Claire kept me on an even keel. She was always willing to answer my numerous questions and to participate fully in the process. She even managed to find me a month-to-month rental in which I've lived while waiting for the sale to be finalized. (In Davis, filled as it is with student apartments on yearlong leases, this is nothing short of miraculous.) Not only that, but she got me a really good sale price. With her delightful sense of humor and generous spirit, Claire is a walking advertisement for the qualities I have come to associate with Davis: friendliness, consideration for others, quiet professionalism, and intelligence. I would recommend her to anyone seeking to buy property in this great community. Brava, Claire!

I live at Russell Park, and below is my horrible experience with Tandem Properties, and…read moreparticularly Kaylin, the manager at Russell Park. It shows how little they care about their tenants, and how their top priority is really their own convenience. Each year, we need to fill in an "intent to renew" form, to indicate if we would like to renew the lease. The signed form was due February 19 this year. I submitted the form on February 12, a week before the due date -- but I signed in the wrong column, and indicated that I would not renew when I did, in fact, want to renew. I emailed Kaylin on February 14, hoping to submit a corrected form, but she refused, saying that she will not make any changes once the forms are submitted, even though there are still FIVE DAYS before the due date. I pleaded with her, because I had no other plans for housing, but over and over she gave me canned responses: that she will not make any changes to the forms. As a result, I was recently notified to prepare to move out of my apartment after summer this year, all because I made a mistake in the renewal form, and in spite of me trying to correct it almost immediately, LONG BEFORE the deadline. I tried reaching out to Tandem Properties headquarters, but I just got redirected to Kaylin again, who said she would talk with her boss about this, but after a week, she just regurgitated the same line that they would not make changes to the form. Apparently, the entire management does not give enough of a crap to help me fix the mistake, and would happily throw me out because of this.

They are always happy to answer questions and never make you feel like an idiot for asking small and seemingly obvious questions. Their job is not easy yet they not only do it well, they also do it with an amazing attitude.

As a full-time and very active Realtor, I do several transactions a year with both their Woodland and Davis branch. They are all fantastic. Highly recommend!

Relocating from another state can be stressful, but Anna made the entire process smooth, efficient, and even enjoyable. She is relocation certified, and it truly shows--she anticipated my needs every step of the way, provided expert guidance about the Davis market, and was always quick to respond to my questions. Her knowledge of Central Davis and its neighborhoods was invaluable, and she helped me find a home that checked all the boxes. What really stood out to me was her professionalism, patience, and commitment to making sure I felt confident and informed throughout the process. She went above and beyond to ensure everything was handled, even from a distance. If you're moving to Davis--especially from out of state--you absolutely want Anna on your side.

Tara was very patient with us, as we were new to Northern CA and had no idea about neighborhoods--she schlepped us from Natomas to downtown Sacramento to Woodland to Davis, consistently honest and helpful about the pros and cons of each area. She allowed us to change our minds again and again about what we wanted, and she adjusted her search criteria without complain. She was entirely responsive to our own ideas and finds, and would quickly arrange showings whenever was convenient for us. Tara ended up feeling very much like a friend, and keeps in touch with us months after the close of escrow. She has many contacts and offers contracting and decorating assistance, and is an internal decorator herself.
