Drove to Arnold today (6 Sep 20) to look at a select few properties from the Bay Area. Upon arrival…read moreto our first stop we were greeted by a very agitated real estate agent named Linda Forrester. She began to explain to us that she was not going to let me, my wife and my real estate agent view the property unless we had a printed pre approval letter to show proof of funds. I explained that I had it on email but she told us to go get a printed copy. She was very difficult to speak with. She turned away a guy in a truck as we were walking up, and she turned away another family as we were leaving. Her Century 21 website shows her to have great reviews from sellers but today she was not doing very good. I wouldn't let her sell my house.

21 SIERRA PROPERTY THE WORST Last New Years Eve we rented a…read morehome for a 3 day weekend. We had 2 adults with disabilities, which we advised 21 Sierra Properties. Our rental had an elevator and a hot tub. The elevator worked for 2 hours. We contacted 21 Sierra and they could not send anyone out till the next day. After waiting 2 hours for a late arrival, the repair person told us they just were out here last week to repair and this time they were unable to repair the elevator. Without an elevator we could not leave to go to the snow & leave our mothers at home. We also had to pay $75 to use the hot tub. The $75 was to cover cleaning & chemicals for the hot tub. The hot tub was not clean and did not have chemicals. The water was stagnant and full of bubbles & scum. The response to our dissatisfaction with the condition of the 6 bedroom rental was, we are sorry for the condition of the rental, but we can't do anything about it. We had to carry our mothers down all the stairs and could / would not use the hot tub in that condition. 21 Sierra would not even refund the $75 we paid for a clean hot tub usage. The worst rental company we ever used for a vacation and we would never use them or recommend them to anyone. We have however, told everyone we know of the unprofessional manner this vacation rental company is run.

We started off by renting a cabin from Cedar Creek a few summers back, and then ended up deciding…read moreto purchase a family cabin last Spring. Every step of the way with them has been pleasant and well-informed, and we've appreciated the professionalism and knowledge of the area provided by Kelley (our realtor). Customer service has also been fantastic - they are always at the ready with recommendations for service providers (from plumbers to painters to tree removers to general handymen), and have done us multiple favors when we've needed them to go and check on something at the cabin. In short - I couldn't ask for a better set of experiences, and would highly recommend Cedar Creek to anyone looking to rent or purchase a cabin up in the Arnold area.

Tried to go in person to discuss horrendous condition of cabin but was told well did you call the emergency number ? The person did not want to be bothered helping. They refunded the cleaning fee but ghosted us via email after we inquired and followed up about getting more compensation for the mold, filth and unusable cookware in the kitchen. Photos speak for themselves. I posted review to their website for the Huckleberry House where I rented and it is not shown .. how convenient. What is shown is a few 5 stars from several years ago about it being so "clean". FALSE ADVERTISING. Lucky they don't allow reviews on their Facebook or else I would stick these photos there as well.

(*note, this is based on the property rental service, I have not purchased or sold any homes with this company) (side note, I would never use them for that either based on this experience) Let us first travel back about 25 years. My first visit to the Big Trees, coming at least once a year. Family vacation after family vacation, Big Trees was a constant. Here we are 2011. The time has come to once again make a visit, having sold our cabin a few years earlier. Having tried another rental company in the passed, I decided to try Coldwell because they were a bit cheaper. Big mistake and maybe a lesson of when not to be frugal. I should've known that after the initial request for information, nothing came back that this customer service nightmare was only beginning. Bargain hunting for my family, I stuck with it. I sent a follow up email. Keep in mind this is a town that has 3500 people, I would think any business is good business. No? Oh you're right CB, it is hard to respond to email. I mean we don't have internet on our phones or wifi nearly everywhere there is a pulse. 10 days later, my response was "Yeah we have cabins available, please call for any questions". Gee! Thanks. My stupid self stuck with it, calling for more info. I did find a place that was suitable for a large party and the price was within the budget. After checking with the family we decided to book. I sent an email basically saying yeah lets book. 4 days later (again..this technology thing is hard apparently) response was "I need more info. Please call to set up rental" Suuuuurrre. So I called, "oh I'm sorry our property manager is off" Next day same thing. Next day...oh shes off already. Interesting. Still my stupid self stuck with it. Flash forward to getting the cabin. We checked in and this place looked like a seen from a horror movie. Spiders on the wall, dirty toilets, old bobby pins on the counters, leftover food in the fridge, bugs on the bedspreads, dust everywhere, foul smell, magazines as a center piece that were 2 years old (magazines that come out weekly). I mean this was bad. Spent the first two hours of our family vacation cleaning the house. Yippee. Next day I go in to talk about the place. Response: "yes it was cleaned last night" In my head I'm going "how can I get that job, get paid to not clean, sure I could do that" Response later in the conversation after Ive had my piss fest. "Well, our customers should expect coming into that because this cabins do sit vacant sometimes" Conclusion because I'm tired of writing: I literally would rather eat dog food than deal with this company again. I mean that 100%. We ended up staying 1 night there because our party of 8 had no other choice. Had we not driven over 800 miles and been able to remedy the situation in normal business hours, we would have stayed in the hotel nearby and worried about our deposit later. This company must be doing so well that we our 8 night stay meant nothing. They offered no remedy for our situation besides an unpleasant exchange of keys when I turned them in. No follow up call from management, no apology letter (unless you count my "cleaning deposit letter refund" that came 1 month after my stay saying, and I quote "Your sudden departure was very disturbing to both the homeowner and I", no nothing. Take my word for it. DO NOT USE THIS PLACE FOR YOUR PROPERTY RENTAL!

It's been a few years since I have had dealings with Divine but I wanted to offer my review since…read morethis was brought up in my suggestions list. My review is from the perspective as a property owner, and I can say they are a 5-star management company. We entrusted Divine as the manager when we rented a family member's house out for a few years after their passing. Their tight screening process gave an excellent tenant. Kandi and Kat do everything by the book and follow every law exactly, which is extremely important when renting in California. If you're a property owner, you won't go wrong here. Look at all the one-star reviews from unhappy tenants and actually read what they are complaining about and that tells you all you need to know. Your investment is protected with Divine.

I would love to post the truth but it is taken down. Please call me on my cell and I will give an…read morehonest review. This business will post incorrect info, as well as personal info if you give an honest review. Read their responses to low reviews. It's unethical (209)268-8799. I wish you the best if you are in a contract with Divine Properties. I challenge you right now to post my lease. I've never met these people. It's crazy how they treat people Again, look at the 5 star review dates. If you are a disabled veteran or have family with autism please don't give Devine your business. They are unbelievably unprofessional. The person that responds to these does nothing but lie and threaten. They try to scare renters. They don't understand that you can't evict someone who gives a thirty day notice. I paid March's rent. You guys don't even see how bad you look arguing with people who give you a bad review. Kandi will single handedly ruin Devine. You won't scare me off. A judge will see my evidence and I will come back here. POST MY LEASE AND PROVE ME WRONG!!!! Stop lying. If you've made it this far...they refuse to keep appointments. They took over because the owner is flat broke and can't afford one repair. I had no hot water, heat, oven, electrical sparks, half the outlets don't wok. Finally TODAY a guy came out to replace rotten pipe . They have done no walk through. Gee do you think they will steal my deposit? Find any other property management. PS I never paid my rent late. I hand delivered it to her on time. She had no problem with me. Another lie. Kandi never takes responsibility for anything. It's always someone else's fault. SAVE YOURSELF A BIG HEADACHE
