SJA managed our property in lake Stevens for about 2 years. Ugh. It was so poorly run that even…read moreafter we told them we were leaving we still did not get a timely reply back until I cc'd management and other staff we had interacted with on the emails. We calculated how much money we were getting after their fees and all the repairs they had done (for our 1990 house that was in great shape) and it turned out to be 65% of the rent. If you need anything be prepared to interact with their robust team of offshore folks in the Philippines. We are still unclear why we needed our septic pumped 2x within 2 years and were quoted $3-4k each time as they did not send us the detailed breakdown of the requested work. We had a suspicion that the folks they use for maintenance and for other repairs were financially incentivized or tied to the company as we did not receive multiple bids and it looked like SJA had ties to the company doing the work. Shout out to Kayla Schwartz who never answered any of my emails until I cc'd Claudette Scott. They did not seem to fully do walk throughs and left our property and wood floors covered in dog pee pads during the walk through. We requested that they not allow tenants to use our fireplace and found they had left that in the listing so we were legally obligated to allow it. Neat. If you want to lose significant amounts of value and gain 0 value except for a huge headache, SJA is the property management firm for you!

I rented from Avenue One (AO for length) for two years and I cannot recommend them to renters who…read moreare looking for consistency or dependability in their landlord. The first clue was in month four after we reached out to our property manager about cutting the 6x6(ish) front yard. We requested AO to amend the first draft of their proposed lease agreement to exclude the yard as a tenant responsibility - they agreed and the lease we signed included no tenant responsibility for the front yard. When they finally hired someone, the third-party company blew a rock that shattered our glass door. Given the glass covered the entire door, it was an extreme safety and security hazard. We shared with AO that someone could easily kick it in and that it could also easily break w/ daily use. They came out quickly to assess and scheduled a third party shortly after. We then made time out of our professional schedules 5 times to get evaluations which AO insisted upon even after given guidance to replace by 2 separate contractors. It took us emailing the owners of AO directly to have them schedule one final evaluation, which ultimately suggested replacement anyway. It took TWO MONTHS to replace our front door, and only after requesting and negotiating were we offered compensation. The front lawn was not mowed again for the last 18+ months of our lease. This was a pattern. AO hired third parties that weren't consistent in communication or performance. Other maintenance requests were put off and ignored. In the case of a separate upstairs bathroom issue, the hired team broke an item in a bedroom and left $20 to help replace it. We received a new property manager after the door incident, and while certainly better than the first, the communication felt clumsy, incorrect, and in need of prompting rather than being proactive. I expect more from a company that chooses to rent to people, as it should be predictable and dependable in exchange for the monthly rent - and we were tenants that paid rent on time, every time. We gave 50+ days of notice before vacating. A new employee from AO who showed properties sent an email at 1pm on Friday to begin the process to list our apartment but mentioned no timeline. Less than 4 hours later, we received a curt email alerting us that an ad "was live" and that they had "3 people waiting to see when they can tour" on Monday afternoon (less than 24 business hrs). After calling and sharing our circumstances, they emailed it was within their rights to show our home w/o consent with 24 hrs notice. My roommate negotiated a few days to return from travel and to secure our valuables. Our caution only came as a result of several encounters where the AO team and their third-party contractors broke things in our house. The request we received to show our home and the striking urgency that AO created is a pattern that shows they do not respect tenants. Pressuring us to respond to them showing the apartment over a month before our lease ends with 4 hours in between emails is not reasonable. It is particularly unreasonable given we had provided our notice to vacate over 2 full weeks before that email exchange (nearly 2 full months before our two-year lease ended). This urgency to move rapidly had never once been AO's approach to maintenance for any concern we had. When the agent ultimately showed our home, they sprayed heavily scented perfumes (they admitted to this later) in our purposefully unscented home, resulting in significant allergies that caused a night of headaches. When it came to the walkthrough, we had to basically beg to be there. The timing of the walkthrough was shifted on the night before the appointment. In an email before the walkthrough, they mentioned extra charges if our unit wasn't in the same condition it was upon move-in. However, we confronted them with language from the Seattle Renters Handbook that if cleaning fees are charged as a fee before move-in, you cannot be charged for cleaning after moving out. They requested we sweep the rooftop deck that was rotting and decaying - yet another ignored maintenance request that they received months before they knew we planned to move out. We did get the full deposit back, but I have to chalk that up to our clean nature and our unrelenting focus on over-communicating and keeping written records. This level of vigilance felt exhausting, but something we had to keep up with AO because they never seemed to have our best interests in mind. Ultimately, I could not in good conscience recommend this company to any renter. AO showed time and time again what they thought of us by providing absolutely minimal service and little respect to us as renters. If you do rent from them, start keeping written records and don't hesitate to contact the Seattle Tenants Union for guidance. The only striking positive was the initial real estate agent, Barb Bender, who was incredible. She showed care, created clarity, and sold us on AO.

First of all, we are about the best tenants you can find with impeccable rental history and great…read moreincome. This is all verifiable th This house is expensive.. so expensive I am embarrassed to say it here. It came with so many wonderful amenities.. until it turned out that it didn't. A huge modern TV in the basement! I guess that helps make the price worth it! Except the TV is from 2010, cant load any modern streaming services and is basically huge e-waste. (Don't feature it in the add for the house.. ). Its trivial, but our old 2015 TV was giving us some headaches due to its age, so seeing this in the add was like "ah! Perfect for us!" But. hilariously the huge TV doesn't work unless you hook it up to a laptop with an HDMI cable across the room. Don''t believe me? Look up Sharp Aquos Quattron. See if it hooks up to even Amazon Prime Video (spoiler alert, it doesn't). (Oh and it turns out Netflix stopped supporting this machine many years ago). The hoops we had to jump through to secure this house! Way too hard. Its almost as if they are justifying their service by putting people through the wringer.. we could have cared for this house ourselves and done just as good of a job if not better.. but they justify their enormous costs basically by making people go through SO MUCH effort. It's starting to feel like a grift/cash grab. That being said there are positives. Kathy is kind and responsive (was). The recruiter who we contacted was just wonderful. So it's not the people we deal with, it's the actual process, hoops and the rug pull we are currently feeling. We arrived after an arduous move, very long and serious to find our trash so full and heavy that the garbage men rejected it due to its weight.(400 pounds?). this is after my wife and I both pushed and pulled it up the hill to the street, injuring ourselves in the process. So now we are saddled with this super heavy trash and nowhere to take it and no where to put OUR trash.. We PAY for our trash services... so.. ? Find a house that is being rented by the owner and just do a good job caring for the home. You will save yourselves THOUSANDS of dollars, a myriad of hoops, headaches and effort. Plus they force you into a 24 month lease.. and now I know why.. because people would leave in droves. So that's some more good advice, if they force you to do a long term lease, that is a big red flag. Also, we have rented sight unseen in the past. No problem. Why? Because those owners were confident the house was fine. If they DONT allow sight unseen.. what does that tell you? Something is wrong.. or they are hiding flaws that they want you to walk by without noticing so they can sign their 80 page move in documents. More good advice, ask about sight unseen (even if you don't intend on doing that and see what the response is). They reach out 3 times to verify we set up utilities (a month after we already did that) almost as if to justify the existence of the utility manager.. but the internet, the one and only utility besides electric we need to work for our jobs.. that doesn't count, no assistance or advice there, just figure it out.. but if you pick the wrong services you are in for another headache. Just make sure you pick the same service that the house had before .. or you are in for more delays, headaches and stress. The home is quite lovely as is the yard but far from worth this cost (the cost includes pain, stress and anger) ... and there were some issues moving in, the drawers and cupboards were grimy and we had to clean it all with a scraper. Yuck. a couple bad electrical outlets (which we haven't even mentioned yet, one issues at a time, we are not trying to inundate them).. wiggly and loose thick glass shower and bathroom doors (all of which look brand new and never tested but sure do look nice. Pooling water on the floor after a shower creating a mold stain. We created tickets in the portal, but they are now showing closed and resolved! (They are NOT resolved). Its just for the money we pay, you would think the things that were part of the draw, (like the TV) would work and not just be more work for us.. heck for this money even be set up for us on our arrival! But no.. we are saddled with a big (70 inch) hunk of junk. If I owned this company I would make it right by purchasing us a TV that actually works with the modern streaming services (not some ancient xFinity Vudu nonsense). Last but not lease.. the faucet. We come home.. burnt from moving, start our first dishes and it squirts right in our faces! LOL.. its hilarious..until its not. except nobody seems interested in fixing it.. or if they are we are not in the loop. I jammed my thumb up into the faucet so now at least it sprays in other directions than directly at our bodies. Maybe waiting for parts? Maybe they should tell us that. . This post is from 2023 . but somehow just showing up now, you should hear about the MOVE OUT PROCESS. It was even worse.. AVOID THIS BUSINESS AT ALL COSTS.

I moved to Washington state for 3 years for work as a tech executive. I rented a nice house that was managed by Lori Gill & Associates. As a home owner, I understand just how important it is to have good tenants who will not only take care of your home, but also feel like they want to treat the house they are living as though it were their own. When tenants feel disrespected by a management company it's bad for everyone. Here is my professional view of them. As a home owner, I would not engage with Lori Gill & Associates unless you want to make sure your tenants are unhappy, frustrated, and feel mistreated. Not a good way to keep your tenants and ensure they look out for your home. As a tenant, they are difficult to reach, slow to respond to anything beyond emergencies, expect you to contort to meet their demands, communicate in a rude condescending tone, and quick to ask demeaning questions whenever anything goes wrong - which as any property owner knows will happen from time to time. I will never do business with them again.

In the meantime, the yard is over growing, my old neighbors are calling me wondering if the place was abandoned. Their excuse: Oppsy-It just fails between the cracks. I have tried to call Matt on several occasions in the 1.5 years of working with them. He never once returned my voice mails. When I emailed Emily with questions about work orders, I would get short curt messages that didn't address my question at all. Just look at how dismissive they are of negative reviews here. I tried to play it cool. Then I started looking into some of the work orders. Apparently the microwave went out and they replaced it. No biggie right? However, the price of the microwave seemed a tad high. So I found the same exact model on Amazon and Home Depot for about half the price. Kind of makes me wonder if they're pocketing the extra money. Then other work orders come in, apparently normal maintenance such as changing out the HVAC filter isn't being done. The tenants aren't cleaning out the lint filters. So when that stuff breaks, who do they charge? What other kind of routine maintenance are they skipping? Are the rain gutters being cleaned out?
