Excellent company, reliable team, amazing tech! I've been searching for a good property management company for awhile and was at the point of thinking all of them were awful, when I luckily stumbled upon Ziprent! They actually were replacing a prior property management company that was failing us miserably, and despite some minor hiccups have been simple to work with. + Service: Their model is very straightforward with a flat fee monthly and upon initial tenant placement. (5 stars) + Communication: They are VERY responsive which I definitely appreciate. It's a shared services model so you may get a different person each time, but they've largely done a good job of being familiar with prior notes. (5 stars) + Technology: As a techie, I really appreciate how easy their system and process is. Literally everything from listings, service requests, evaluating bids, tenants, etc. is all in there. (5 stars) + Payments: Easy ACH deposits each month so you know reliably that the rent will be there. (5 stars) + Placement: Just went through tenant placement and they made it super easy. Listings, showings, and application review were all simple and through the system, plus the team was very responsive to questions along the way. (5 stars) = Service Requests: I like that they are supposed to shop out repair requests to get several bids. That being said, for the various service requests that I've had I only got multiple vendor bids once... I guess due LA contractors are limited currently (3 stars) - Differences from standard: The only downside is that with all the rigor around a consistent technology and process, they don't deal with differences very well. For instance, they made the onboarding process easy since it was standardized, but since we were moving over on an inflight lease from a different property management company, there was some miscommunication where basically they had a photographer come out unannounced to the property and bother our existing tenant. I think the photographer was under the impression that they were going to take property pictures as they would for a new property listing, but given tenants were living there already they were just supposed to install the lockbox and keys. (2 stars) Overall, the pros definitely outweight the cons and I chalk it up to some growing pains. This team is great and we're happy to be working with them and easily would recommend them to anyone else in the market for a reliable, tech-savy property management company!
