SC Properties

I called and left a vmail a week go about our dishwasher. No one call so I had to call again.

This goes out to the staff who helped respond to an urgent call with my building last week. A special thanks to the staff who were very proactive in getting in touch with me to identify issues, provide update of fixes and subsequently seeking my feedback on the repair.
I was a little hesitant as when we switched building /​property managers recently, but it is the efforts of staff like Teri and Jessica who help instill confidence in their service.

½ hour to go see a property and then compete against 15 other couples within that time and then the person in charge of the property took a credit check deposit, which she said would be returned if we didn’t get the apt. 1 month later, didn’t get the apartment and repeatedly asked for my money back :(- they stole my moneyyyyy!!!
It essentially felt like a scheme.

Lindsey & SC properties did a great job selling my property. From day 1 she was always prepared and had all the answers to my questions. Her patience and real estate knowledge made her very easy to work with. Thank YOU!

They do a great job managing all of my properties and I highly recommend them.

ABSOLUTELY AVOID THEM AT ALL COSTS.
I agree with Edward K. Bob Gugliemli is awful to work with. He owns a Victorian on San Mateo Drive and has made life miserable for the tenants. He had a construction crew working on the property every Saturday beginning at 8 am. This went on for months. Forget enjoying a leisurely morning after a hard week at work.
He took weeks to replace an oven that was decades old. Asked him to replace in November and got a new one in January. Cheapest model possible. So much for baking holiday cookies.
The latest is painting the building and leaving window tarp all on all of the windows for over two weeks. So you get to pay full rent and not even being able to look out of your own front window.
If a property is associated with S C Properties, run the other way.

I recently applied for a rental through SC Properties and they were nice to work with. Unfortunately we did not get the property because of a pet but they were professional, friendly, prompt at returning phone calls, answering questions and processing paperwork. Because they ran our credit (causing a hard inquiry on our credit reports) and then had the owner change her mind about allowing a pet they attempted to make it up to us, which is appreciated and tells me that they care about people’s perception of their company. And for me, that goes a long way.

We rented an apartment in San Mateo from SC for two years, from 2009-​11. Any issues of maintenance requests seems to take several calls and/​or emails. In particular, Bob Guglielmi — who was supposed to be our contact — was always hard to reach. When we first moved in, he was very slow on paper work, when we needed to move quickly. He’d make promises and then not deliver. In addition, we soon discovered the microwave didn’t work. We listed that on our initial review of the place and were assured it would be fixed promptly. It was not. I included notes as we sent in our first couple of rent checks. Nothing. Finally I left some angry voicemails, and what do you know? I got an apologetic call, and it was taken care of.
My biggest complaint comes from when we moved out. I toured the apartment with Bob before we left, and he assured me personally that we did not need to putty the holes in the walls or paint because SC would be doing that. He also said SC would cover the cleaning of the carpets. So, I was very surprised when we got our deposit back to see that we were charged $ 40 for the walls and $ 99 for the carpet. I complained and was promised a response from Bob, which never came.
These folks are not crooks, but if you can avoid them, I recommend it.

We bought our house from this company. They bought it at auction as a foreclosure, invested some money to give it a cosmetic make over and then put it on the market.
We bought it even though there were many little things sloppily done. I don’t think the management at this place checks on their contractors. Who puts in a tub spout without the lift to make the shower turn on? Who doesn’t seem together crown molding and just leaves it? What about a shower door? Leaky sink connections, leaky dishwasher connections, etc… really sloppy work. Luckily this is all things we could fix. The biggest problem we had with this company was their rep Jeff Barden… he was SO SLOW to respond to our agent, it was quite frustrating. He did not earn ONE PENNY of the commission… my agent should have got his half.
We offered them a great deal on our house and it just seemed that this guy was so arrogant, not responding, texting… etc…a little unprofessional with no sense of urgency.
Oh well we love our house though, just wish the contractors would have actually done a complete job, thrown away the empty cans of paint and loose wires all over… not to mention the electrical box was a nightmare!

Although the apartment that I was in before wasn’t worthy of the four stars, this management company has been great so far. They are always quick to take care of any maintenance issues you may have, and they are very fair in returning deposits, and helping you out if you are in a sticky situation. I’d like to particularly mention Jesseca, who is always easy to get a hold of, and very helpful. I have had a great experience dealing with this management company. The only reason for the four star review, as opposed to five, is because I’d like to see a higher quality array of listings.
