LB Brokerage, Inc.

Believe all the bad reviews you see they will take your money and regardless of all the information you give them for income verification they will harass your work will use unfair practices in deciding who their tenants will be this place needs to be investigated. They have to be up to no good. We ended up deciding not to do business with this company because of the stress that goes with their processes. Larry gets upset with once you call him out on his practices and starts to yell, I think he needs some anger management. I think they want to do the right thing but can’t seem to figure out how to do that. I really wish I would have heeded the other people’s reviews. ps they have rodents in their buildings.

I rented a house that was managed by LB Brokerage for a year. Whenever I had an issue, they sent someone out right away to fix it. When I moved out, they gave close to my entire deposit back. As a side note, Maria at LB Brokerage is the absolute best! She was always pleasant on the phone and in person. Overall a great management company!

The ABSOLUTE. WORST. COMPANY. Honestly calling this place a business is a joke. I wish I could give them 0 stars.
We applied to an apartment about a week ago, and only a couple days later they told us that we were their number one choice. Then on Monday, they decide it is totally acceptable to demand double the original security deposit, but backed down when we called them out for trying to take advantage of us.
On Tuesday, they tell us we got the apartment! Hooray! We’re so excited! We immediately get our deposit and first months rent checks, we’re going to take them in the next morning, we’re making plans to move in the following Sunday. And what do you know, they call us to say that actually, after stringing us along for a week and POINT BLANK telling us we got the place, they’ve decided to give it to someone else.
ARE YOU KIDDING??? What an absolute joke these people are. They’ve completely wasted a week of our time, we turns down another place because this one seemed to be working out better and faster, and they decide to just jerk us around like this.
These people should have their business license taken away, I can’t believe what kind of terrible people they are to do this to someone!

Scum lord Larry is one greedy owner!!! I’ve lived in his complex in a studio unit for 4 years. He kept my whole security deposit of $ 595 & even money from my pro rated rent. He likes to upgrade & use tenants money for cleaning, painting and labor costs which are outrageous! He charged me $ 50 for cleaning the hallway carpet, which is a common area before the balcony entrance. He had only cleaned the carpets once in the 4 years I’ve lived there. All the units have hardwood floors. Larry and his elderly staff thought I should pay for that, which is illegal & unethical! Anytime you call for anything they say they are away from their desk but in reality they are right next to each other. He also charged me $ 100 for supposed damage to the refrigerator which he did not fix, nor replace. He also felt the need to charge me $ 40 for 5 light bulbs and installation when he only had my unit with 2 working lights out of 6. When I called the office to let them know I needed light bulbs they said that was something I needed to replace. Lights @ Walmart cost $ 5, please tell me why the cost is $ 40. Creep. Cleaning was an $ 80 charge-​which also entailed prep work for painting. I’ve lived there for more than 4 years & technically he can’t charge me for that, but the unethical owner thought he found a loop hole. Mind you I had the 300 sq ft STUDIO professionally cleaned. $ 90 was charged for ‘damage’ to the wood floors. Another outrageous cost! Heard of wear and tear slum lord!!! In that time I’ve had my bike locks broken and 2 bikes were stolen & surprisingly the cameras didn’t work. When I reported this to the office I got the run around and no-​one cared. Let’s talk about him also raising rent… he demands you pay yet doesn’t follow the correct laws when it comes to notices. He is just money hungry. Do not rent from this owner, most of his properties are in bad neighborhoods/​the ghetto & not only do they pressure you to sign a lease but they also target people to rent from him that are in a pinch & can’t afford to fight for their hard earned money. He will get sued from all his malpractice.

Love doing business with a professional, Larry Boren and his team have the right formula to list and sell your real estate. We have completed a recent purchase, LB Brokerage literally saved our deal. I have not used their management services, but their location makes me think that are readily available when you need them.

What a waste of time. I answered an ad for a listing they had for an apartment rental. I got a response to come check it out. The next day I go to the office to check out the key. When I arrived the girl told me three other people were interested. I thought ok, I’ve been in situations where they look at all applicants and decide which is a better fit. So she gave me the key and off I went to check out the place. I loved it. Well when I get back, I tell her I’d like to add my app to the list of hopefuls. Then she says, well the owner is out of the country right now but he gets in today and I’m sure he’s going to pick one that we have already. Huh? How are you sure of that? And why did you not say that when I showed up? Better yet, don’t even tell me to go ahead and come in. Then tells me since it’s still listed she has to show it. Thank god I don’t live far because had I drove down from Hollywood or somewhere I’d be beyond livid. Nice

I rented an apartment at 218 Belmont Long Beaach CA and LB Brokerage (AKA By the Sea) took over managing and it was nothing but problems. They don’t fix anything unless its a plumbing issue and the only reason they do that is because they have to or the health department will be notified. Jessica the contact person acts like she never said it and never hurd it, so always always get everything in writing. The Tenanats in unit #1 are related to the owner of the building and John the fat guy in unit #1 thinks he is the gate keep and he HATES dogs so don’t move in there if you have a pet and if your young and like to party don’t move in because John will be at your door complaining, he also likes to video tape women and knows its not against the law adn the property management company doesn’t to a thing about people conplaining about him. The property management company must have some financial issues because they rip off the tenants that leave and charge them for every little thing they possibly can so they don’t have to give you your deposit back but never fix anything when you live there. This company should not be managing anything because they do not go by policies and proceedures and have no regards to Renters Rights. If you see a listing and they are the Property Managers then run the other way.
