I’ve been renting with GPM for the past few years now and I am happy to say that everyone I’ve worked with has been great, especially Bette, Alan and Tori. They are always very responsive to questions and have always tackled my maintenance requests extremely fast. The last place I rented from was trying to raise my rent illegally and now it’s great working with people who know what they’re doing. If you can rent from GPM, you won’t be sorry!

Property management company was very professional and quick to respond. The only thing I did not like was having to fill out a very detailed application before we could even view the property. We were also required to fill out a pet application with a non refundable fee- again, all before even being able to view the property. The application fees were refundable if we didn’t end up moving forward which I appreciated. Overall, it was a smooth process and Carol was very responsive. I understand wanting serious, acceptable applicants but there should be a simpler “pre-application” to view instead of an entire application process. Maybe this is normal but I have never seen this before.

As a real estate agent, my priority is always my clients, ensuring they have the best experience whether buying, selling, or renting. Securing a rental on short notice can often feel like pulling teeth with many management companies, but my experience with Genuine Property Management was a refreshing change.

From the start, Carol and Shannon were amazing to work with. I initially needed to understand their process, and as an agent, I always remind myself that things may not always align with how I’d prefer them to work for my clients. However, after taking the time to review their procedures, standards, and regulations, I gained a deeper appreciation for how they operate as a management company.

Carol and Shannon not only worked seamlessly as a team but also took the time to understand my perspective as a realtor. Their professionalism, transparency, and willingness to collaborate made the entire process smoother. In the end, my clients successfully secured the rental on Moody Street in Fullerton, and they were more than satisfied.

Now that I fully understand Genuine Property Management’s credit application process, application standards, and overall procedures, I look forward to working with them again. Their efficiency and professionalism make them a standout in the property management industry. Five stars all the way!

Recientemente llamé esta oficina para preguntar sobre el alquiler, ¡y no puedo decir suficientes cosas buenas sobre Miriam! Desde el momento en que llamé, fue amable, profesional e increíblemente conocedora. Tenía muchas preguntas sobre la propiedad, los términos del contrato de arrendamiento y las comodidades, y ella las respondió todas pacientemente sin hacerme sentir apresurado.

Lo que más destacó fue la disposición de Miriam para ir más allá y asegurarse de que encontrara el apartamento perfecto para mis necesidades. Incluso hizo un seguimiento conmigo después para asegurarse de que tenía toda la información que necesitaba. Es raro encontrar a alguien tan comprometido con brindar un excelente servicio al cliente.

Cuando llegó el momento de terminar mi contrato de arrendamiento y mudarme, Miriam fue tan útil y solidaria como lo fue cuando me mudé. Respondió todas mis preguntas sobre el proceso de mudanza y explicó todo claramente. Miriam hizo todo lo posible para asegurarse de que la transición fuera lo más fluida y libre de estrés posible. Su profesionalismo y amabilidad hicieron que un proceso potencialmente estresante fuera mucho más fácil.

Gracias a Miriam, mi experiencia alquilando a través de esta oficina, desde el principio hasta el final, fue excepcional. Si estás considerando mudarte aquí, ¡pide hablar con Miriam, es fantástica!

Most recently I had an emergency repair request on NYE and the maintenance director, Javier, reached out to me immediately and let me know that he was reaching out to vendors to come fix the problem. With it being a holiday, most vendors were not open or available but he managed to find someone. The vendor ended up coming within a couple of hours!
