Advantage Property Management Services

I worked with Joyce and her team for almost 10 years from the time I hired them to manage the HOA in our condo community to having her list my property as a rental and sell my property on the mls. Every one of these experiences was very professional and resulted in the continued use of her company for my real estate needs. I give Joyce and Advantage the best rating in my book.

My husband and I were very lucky to find the apartment we live in and we’re eternally grateful to Joyce and Advantage Property for helping us make it happen. We recently moved from the Bay Area to Southern California due to a job relocation, and we only had a weekend to find a place. Looked on Craig’s List and found several places to look at. After looking at a lot of apartments, we were down to two: the Advantage place and the other one, and we were pretty set on the other one. Then we saw it, as the previous tenants were moving out. Uh oh. It was clear that we would never be able to fit into that small space. We rushed back to the Advantage office to see if the apartment we saw was still available. We were pretty desperate by this point, as it was late Saturday and we had to drive back on Sunday. By the end of the weekend, we were approved, gave the deposit and signed the documents, allowing us to relax for the next month, knowing that we had a place to call home. Thank you, Advantage!

18 months ago, my life changed. After inheriting a property from my parents and not knowing quite what to do, this company has allowed me to rest easy knowing that they will take care of our tenants and our properties to the best of their ability. It’s hard to find people who honestly care about their work and these folks do.

We were so fortunate to connect with Joyce when we were looking for a property to rent in the Sunset Beach area. She showed us a beautiful place that we fell in love with immediately. Within a few days we were signing the final lease and scheduled to move it on the 1^st! Joyce made the entire process a great experience and we couldn’t be happier living here! Thank you to Joyce and her team! Cheryl

I had a very difficult situation that required an experienced expert to handle. Choosing Joyce and her team was the absolute BEST decision I could have made. She really knew the ins and outs of what I was faced with, and she anticipated what would happen every single step of the way. Her intuition was spot on as she worked with all parties in an efficient, professional, and polite manner.
My wife and I were kept in the loop from day one; she negotiated on our behalf, taking into consideration our financial (and sentimental) needs. We received timely communications from her and/​or her staff.
The end result was that ALL parties were happy: buyer, seller (me), and the bank. I would not hesitate to hire Joyce again, and I will HAPPILY recommend her services to my friends and family.

I’m not typically one for negative reviews, but their poor customer service inspired me to do a write up on Unilocal.I was seeking a rental property for myself and my husband. I have excellent credit and solid employment for the past decade. we have been told we’re the «dream tenants» by other agents (good credit, no pets, non smoking). In our search we have dealt a lot with property management companies… this was by far the worst experience. The property we were seeking a showing for was a pretty basic suburban home. Not grand McMansion or anything extravagant.
In calling their agency to schedule a showing I was told I had to apply for a screening first. A bit unusual, but ok. Did that promptly and sent it in. Was then told my husband had to apply as well! um… no. i politely declined that (our joint info was on the screening application) and again asked for a showing. They ran a credit check… they did not notify me subsequent to that for a showing but my credit alert system told me they ran a credit check! 1 week out and no reply back for showing. I emailed again, was told it would be available showing later in the week. Then nothing. At weeks end I email to follow up again. Just rec’d email (this is now 3 weeks out from original contact) the property has been applied for and is likely rented. What the!!! This is no way to run a business. In the end it worked out for us… in our search we found a great place, (leased by a realtor!) If we lease again in the future I won’t even bother if the property is managed by them.

Terrible Customer Service. Called Joyce and inquired about a rental listing — asked if it was vacant and when it was available to view. Joyce responded «I don’t know and I won’t know the house is still occupied» HOWEVER there are tons of postings on Craigslist and OC Register showing a beautiful vacant house! False advertise much Joyce???
Also the ad states there is a slidehsow of the home. There was NO slideshow. Again — False Adverttising!
Beware! This business is fraud!!!
