Afterwards, David did not respond to a single email asking whether or not our application was denied or why, despite politely asking so we could make informed housing decisions. We also tried calling them directly to ask and left a voicemail but nobody answers the phone at this business and they did not return our call. We don't expect to be successful with every housing application, but we do expect the courtesy of being told that we were denied after shelling out an application fee.

We've been renting a town-home for over two years and Centre City is the property manager. From…read morethe start, they have given us exceptional service. From the moment we found the unit on Craigslist all the way up until our latest request. Since we've been here, they have responded immediately to all of our requests (and we've had a few!). For example, we wanted to start using the fireplace and I wanted the chimney inspected first. I contacted David and he had a company contact me right away to schedule an appointment. I was able to schedule a time that worked for us and they sent out a very reputable company that was able to give us the go-ahead to use our fireplace. Because we have a cat and cannot leave our doors open, I asked if they could add a steel security/screen door to the entry. Days later, we had a great new door and they even changed the other deadbolts to match the one on the new door. Their service team is fast, friendly and efficient. Another time, we asked about a replacement faucet for the kitchen because the existing one was corroded and had a lot of limescale. They didn't hesitate to send out one of their guys to replace the faucet. Another time, they had one of their people come out and (pro actively) install carbon monoxide detectors. Again, we live in a town home, which may be different from their other properties. Our house has many window screens and quite a few needed to be replaced either due to old age or the neighbor's cat jumping through one. Again, they sent out a well reviewed company that replaced all of our screens. Speaking of windows, we have very high ceilings and three windows high up there. The windows didn't have any blinds and sometimes gave us much more than we wanted. I asked David if they could do something about it, and again, he sent a service to the house and they put in/replaced binds on all of the windows we requested. As I am typing, I just remembered that we asked for a bigger refrigerator and not only did they provide it, they even asked what style and color we'd like. Most recently, last week, I asked if they could send someone to look at our garbage disposal. We never used it because the sink would get clogged all the time regardless of what was put down the disposal. Within 24 we had a new one. Moments after my email to David, the plumbing company called to schedule an appointment. Plumber showed up, polite and courteous (he treated me like an intelligent person, not asking questions like "do you put bones, egg shells, or small children down the disposal). I should make it clear that I do not work for CCPM, nor am I affiliated with them in any other way than a renter. This is an honest review. In summary, David Freitas, who is my primary contact, and Centre City have been nothing but great to us and made our living experience above what we could have expected. Granted, we are renting from a private party via Centre City, but that should not matter given the quality of service they provide. I read the two other reviews here (it's unfortunate that no one else has taken the time to write a positive review) and they are obviously written by a couple of disgruntled customers. If you read their other reviews, they only seem to speak up when they feel they have poor service. The choices I make for products and services are determined primarily through recommendations from friends and reviews I read on sites like Yelp!. I do my research before hand and make sure I know what I am getting into. I recommend if you have had a positive experience with CCPM or any other company for that matter that you take a few minutes and give some feedback. In our society we are all to eager to complain or only take action when we are mad. I wish my 5 star review could bump them up a few notches on Yelp, but it probably won't offset the two one star reviews - unfortunately. Thanks to David and his team at Centre City Property Management. Looking forward to many more years at our home.

Do not hire this company. They have no knowledge of the San Diego rental market. They originally…read morerecommended a high rent which I said seemed too high. I also told them there were still tenants in the unit so I did not know the condition. They went ahead and listed it online with 10 year old pictures taken from the internet, at the recommended very high rent (I later learned that you can be fined for using another realtor's pictures without consent which is what they did). A few days later they reduced the rent without consulting me - I happened to check online. The tenants then moved out and the unit was in bad shape so I remodeled it. This company then re-listed the unit at the original high price. I heard nothing for several days so called them, only to be told that it was listed far too high and they had not received a single application. I am now going into my second month of no rent, having spent $10k on their recommended remodel. Since I had no faith in their ability to set an appropriate rent I just fired them and hired someone else. This all could have been avoided had it been listed at market rate once the tenants moved and they had looked at it.

A Cautionary Tale of Renting with MG Real Estate Management - High Rent, High Hopes, Low Delivery…read more Marc has mastered the art of underwhelming his tenants. For nearly $4,000 monthly rent, one might expect top-notch service, but alas, expectations and reality are planets apart here. I'll spare his business partner and girlfriend, Melissa, from this critique. She's not very involved with the business, and our rare interactions with her have been relatively pleasant. I see it's been years since anyone left Marc's management company a good review, clearly they have gone downhill. Our tenancy kicked off with a bang - a major kitchen flood just weeks into our lease. After a brief, misguided attempt to blame us, Marc admitted the flood was due to his negligence in fixing the pipe-faucet connection pre-move-in. The aftermath? Destroyed kitchen and living room floors, extending the damage to the unit below. Despite admitting fault, Marc kept pushing back against repairing the floors, saying the owner didn't want to pay for it. We ended up with about half the damaged floorboards replaced, leaving our hardwood floor looking better suited for a frat house than a high-end apartment. Let's talk repairs, or the lack thereof. Marc's response time is impressive if you appreciate a snail's pace. Acknowledgment of a repair request takes about a week, and action? Well, add another 2-4 weeks to your waiting game. Case in point: the seal on our freezer broke and the freezer beeped incessantly for 2 months before Marc got around to scheduling a service appointment. Then there's the rent saga. When we had toured the unit, Marc made this big show of how he doesn't raise rents during the first lease renewal and only asks for minimal increases in subsequent years. When it came time to renew the lease, there was a $100 increase. Now, granted this isn't a massive rent increase, but we did let Marc know this was not consistent with what we had discussed. Marc responded with an essay on his generosity of only raising rent by $100, claiming market rates were sky-high. Spoiler alert: upon moving out six months later, he couldn't even rent the unit at our original rate! Advice for future tenants: document everything. Marc's fond of pinning existing damages on outgoing tenants. We faced potential charges for items and damages predating our tenancy. Marc's modus operandi seems to involve neglecting repairs, only to use them as leverage for deposit deductions. And my final piece of advice? If possible, just avoid renting with Marc. San Diego's full of great units where dealing with the property manager isn't a pain! You might be thinking, "Sure, Marc's not tenant-friendly, but maybe he's a solid choice for landlords looking for a property manager?" Think again. There are two key reasons why Marc is a questionable choice for managing your property too. He lacks conscientiousness in managing repair costs. For example, upon move in our AC didn't work. It turned out to be a single switch that was off and the repairman charged $350 for the 2-minute visit. With Marc, you're likely to hemorrhage money on basic maintenance while he conveniently overlooks essential upkeep. Secondly, don't expect him to go the extra mile to rent out your unit. When we were moving out, he only gave a tour to one potential tenant and the photos on the Zillow listing looked like they had been taken on a flip phone. In summary, whether you're a tenant or a property owner, entrusting your living space or investment to Marc might not be the wisest decision.
