Parker Properties

Teri, Andrew, and Taylor are the best in the business. You won’t regret using them for your real estate /​property management needs.

We could not be more pleased with Teri Parker’s service and abilities as a real estate professional. Teri sold our property in three days and at a higher price than anticipated. She is very quick to respond to our questions and concerns and went above and beyond to handle issues for us that arose during escrow. Selling a home can be a daunting process… she made the experience as simple as one could hope. Teri’s extensive knowledge in all phases of real estate transactions made it clear early on that she is far more experienced than most. We will certainly rely on Teri and her team for any future real estate needs. Without reservation, we highly recommend her to others.

Andrew Bloom is an excellent agent! As first time home buyers we were nervous and unfamiliar with the whole process of buying a home. Andrew was right there to answer all of our questions and we had tons of questions. He helped us get in touch with a great lender that made buying our home affordable and easy. There were no hidden expenses, every detail was broken down and explained to us. Everything worked out perfectly thanks to Andrew! We couldn’t have asked for a better agent than Andrew. I highly recommend working with him.

Parker properties has been my property manager for years. In this world no news is good news. They take care of business with few headaches for me.
Recently did some renovations to the property and we were toying around with what the new rents should be. They got it spot on, though I had been skeptical at first. Great job, I recommend.

Parker Properties has helped me out with multiple properties over the years. I have worked with both Teri and Andrew and they have always been very friendly, immediately responsive, and delivered results, both with buying and selling. Not only that, but they have been helpful with property advice when I needed it even after transactions are complete. I have sent several of my friends their way with complete confidence, and they have never disappointed. They get my very strongest endorsement!

Nothing against Parker Properties. However, please beware of a realtor named Melissa associated with this firm. I was in a sell and buy at the same time situation — a contingency! She listed my property for sale too high and I had to eat $ 15k. She did not properly negotiate the offering bid on the buy side and I again ate another $ 10k! She still got her full commission. Not so much as an offer to reduce.
HOME INSPECTION: She hand selects (I’ll take care of everything she said) the home inspector (American Dream Home Inspection Services) and sides with him in lying about issues brought out during inspection. LIES! Don’t pay 6% commission to be fed lies! Items that were to be repaired before close of escrow were not done.
She claims to be San Diego’s horse property realtor yet failed to point out to her client (me, overwhelmed with the whole sell/​buy nightmare) that the horse shelter was rotting and even stated that it was safe to use chain link fencing for a horse enclosure. I regret being too polite and not pointing it out. Yeah, right, was she going to pay for the vet bill associated with that mistake?
Anything for a sale. I quickly learned that realtors and lawyers no matter the outcome always get paid.
During the home inspection she was negatively discussing the rather lovely pool right in front of me! Not cool or professional when one is under your employ. She had also stated that real estate was just a side business, her family didn’t really need the money, its just extra… so why then did she let her client struggle during the escrow process. Greed. Anything for a sale.
As a person she is polite and has good communication skills, but as a realtor, not so much.
Take away: pick your OWN home inspector, one the realtor does not know.

I personally know hundreds of agents based on my past career. When we needed to sell our home, my husband wanted to use someone «we didn’t know.» I made a few phone calls, and the name that always came up positive was Teri Parker.
Teri was a great choice, she really knows her business and what she has masterly done is, surround herself with an amazing team. We had 5 offers within days and closed before the time we needed to. Every-​time we had questions, our calls and/​or answers were to us right away. My husband had so many questions, and he needed to hear it from them, not me.
Teri has stayed in touch, which means a lot to us. She makes it easy to refer her to friends and family, which I have done. Highly recommend!

Terri Parker and Andrew Bloom are outstanding agents. Terri helped us with a short sale back in 2009. She really helped us through this frustrating and difficult process. She kept us reassured, and confident that everything would be ok. Because of her excellence, we decided to use Parker Properties when buying a our condo last year.
Andrew Bloom was our agent, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. It took us a long time to find a place we liked for our growing family, but Andrew never stopped working for us and made us feel that we were customer #1. He was always available at our convenience, and was prompt with answering the phone and returning our calls.
As long as we live in The San Diego area, we will continue using Parker Properties:-)

We recently moved to Santee from Florida and have been very thankful for the genuine help from Tricia Miller. If I email questions or concerns she replies promptly with helpful answers or lets me know she needs to find the answer and will contact me as soon as she does. Tricia was a big help in our cross country move, adjusting her schedule to see us, giving detailed information for schools and such. Parker Properties has provided a helpful, stress free renting experience that is greatly appreciated!

I can’t say enough about what a great experience it’s been working with Terri Parker and Tricia Miller of Parker Properties. They are professional and pro-​active and communicate well and effectively with their clients. They take care of everything from property maintenance to fielding tenant issues. Terri and Tricia are always prompt in responding and made our relocation move and transition to long-​distance landlords a positive experience. Highly recommended.

Using the real estate side of this company has been outstanding. Andrew Bloom is on the ball and has made himself available. Without a doubt one of the best agents I have worked with. I have no opinion of the rental side since that is not what I am using this company for. I have bought and sold homes in two states and this guy knows his stuff. Highly recommend him if you are looking to buy a home.

When putting in my 30 days notice, I exercised my right to a pre-​inspection on the house that I was about to vacate after living there for almost 4 never-​late-​on-​rent years. I had my inspection on Oct 21 2011. Tricia told me everything looked good, and that I had to pay approx. $ 200.00 to get the house cleaned and possibly a little more for the windows (Verbal agreement… oops). I was ok with that. She also told me that the termite infested patio beam that was rotting away wouldn’t be my responsibility. She also stated that legally they have 3 weeks to pay back my deposit of $ 1595.00. I thought that was kind of long, but didn’t sweat it. I wait two weeks and call Tricia on Tuesday Nov 8^th and she told me I might get my entire deposit back because the owner was thinking about selling the place, but she would have my check out to me right away. 3 days latter I receive my check for $ 850.00 with $ 745.00 taken out of my deposit. $ 200.00 for cleaning the carpet when there is less than 700 sqft of carpet in the house as the entire lower level is hard wood. $ 300.00 for general cleaning, $ 100.00 for a damaged door that wasn’t broken by me, or mentioned in the inspection, yet came up long after I turned the keys over and $ 45.00 for the above mentioned termite infested patio beam Tricia claimed the owner needed to take care of. $ 100.00 for trash removal? The owner left a bunch of wood at the house when he re-​did the drive way almost 2 years ago and never cleaned up his mess after repeated phone calls. Somehow I am responsible for that now?
I was never given another inspection report of things to fix, and in fact up until the day the check was written was told everything was fine. This is a horrible way to run business.
It took countless emails before I finally dealt with Terri about the situation. 4 weeks after my initial inspection (Well past the legal deadline) I was given a second refund. The excuse I was given: «We were waiting for the owner to decide if he was going to sell the house or not». Talk to any real estate attorney and they will tell you that is not an extenuating circumstance for withholding a deposit, as the law clearly states. I’m still not satisfied with my refund, but at this point its cheaper than going to court.
You need to document everything when you move in, don’t think that they noted it for you. Always get everything in writing. Apparently with this company you cant rely on a persons verbal word as it means nothing. If you don’t document, be prepared to fight to get your deposit back. Don’t turn your keys over until you receive everything in writing.

Same thing happened to me when I called and talked to «Trish». She seemed annoyed when inquiring on an apartment as if I was bothering her. I asked a couple of questions and she got annoyed and said that she is in the middle of something and will have to call me back. It’s so far 36 hours later and I haven’t received a call back.
I saw another Craig’s List update on this apartment so obviously it’s not rented yet and I was VERY interested. I was just very turned off, I can’t imagine calling if I had any issues after moving in. So I decided to move on to another option.
I hope she owns this property and some poor property owner isn’t paying her or Parker Properties to poorly manage their investment.
Sometimes people forget what they actually do for a living affects people in substantial ways.

Trisha in the rental department of this company is downright incompetent and lazy! The very first time I called to inquire about viewing a rental, she said she was on an important call and would have to call me back. Well excuse me. Another time I wanted to drop off the deposit check so I called to say that I was on my way at 10.20am. She said she’d ‘wait for me’. Like I was totally putting her out. Another time I wanted to drop something off at their office at 11am and she said that wouldn’t work because she was going to lunch and I’d need to come back at 1.30. Yes, that would be a 2 ½ hour lunch break. Oh, and I asked her to ask the owners if we could do something to our home EIGHT times and she each time she said she was going to ask them, but she didn’t. She’s so lazy that when we wanted to view the property she sent us to the house so that the current tenant could show us around. Oh and when I wanted to pick up keys on the day of the move in she said she couldn’t make it before 10am because traffic might be bad for her to come any earlier. Seriously lady? In this economy surely someone else would take your job and do it ten times more efficiently.
