Holt Financial Services

When I was shopping for a new home, I was very leery about renting from a property management firm. In the past, I have often found them to be impersonal, unresponsive, and downright insulting. Plus I have often found their rents to be over-​priced due because of the fees they require.
Then, my girlfriend and I drove by this particular property for rent in Sacramento and we just loved it. It was the perfect house in the perfect location and at a very good price that fit our budget. Then we found out it was being managed by a rental agency… AARRGH.
HOWEVER, from the first moment we spoke with Holt/​Realty Management Services, the experience couldn’t have been better. Lori, the office manager had a fantastically upbeat attitude and was very patient and helpful about answering questions. And, unlike other agencies that practically want you to complete an entire application BEFORE YOU EVEN LOOK at a property, she arranged for a viewing, no questions asked. She even stayed later so that we could get our application in after hours. What a doll!
And, since we have moved in, Lori and her team have been very responsive (and proactive) about maintenance issues on the property. We are very impressed.
Ordinarily, I would say stay away from management companies and deal directly with owners whenever possible, but I can’t say that about Holt/​Realty. They are just a super team and we couldn’t ask to work with anyone better!
