Overall they've been quick and thorough with maintenance requests and the online portal for paying rent is very convenient. Easy to work with in general in comparison to most.

This property is not a safe place to live. It is not a safe for my grandson whom I babysit here. I would not give a half star for this property.

Scott has been a tremendous property manager. He replies to questions and concerns in a timely manner. He ensures the property is well maintained and if any maintenance is needed, he will have someone come to fix it right away. Great Service. Thanks Scott!

Scott offered five star plus customer service from start to finish. This was my first time renting out my place and I didn't realize how complex the rental market has become. Luckily Scott provided me with step by step support and made the leading process so much more manageable. My property has been rented out to the same tenant for the past three years with no issues . I highly recommend Scott and his team if you are leasing your property. A+++ for professionalism and efficiency! Thank you Scott for making my life so much easier!

The Parks Properties team is incredibly helpful to set up and run your rental property if you are new to the business. With their experience in the industry, you can rest assured they cover all the details from setting up a lease to filling out the necessary reports to your city. They respond quickly to tenant requests and keep them happy. They perform semi-annual rental unit inspections and send you a copy of the report to protect your building from falling into disrepair. Honestly speaking, Parks Properties is the only management company I have ever dealt with, so I have nobody to compare, but I have always had peace of mind in knowing the tenants will be satisfied with their rental arrangement and keep paying their rent.

I love Parks Properties, they strive to keep both tenants and owners happy. I feel their attention to detail is outstanding. They take care of our rental property as if it were their own home. I do not worry about anything. With Property Meld, I am alerted to any maintenance ahead of time and can prepare for it. They have detailed monthly statements which help greatly with for knowing what has been taken care of and for tax purposes. Thanks Scott and Gabe for the outstanding service.
