Prospectors Property Management

I rented from these clowns for 5 years. When I complained to landlord about Prospectors feloniously charging late fee’s when I used to go to the office and obtain written receipts from staffers to PROVE I was never late, they evicted me from my home. I would rather rent from Mafia then these guys, at least you know what your dealing with there!

I cannot put zero stars. I have dealt with this company for 7 painful years. As CND residents working in the USA and finally going home this year we did not want to move our kids around. WORST COMPANY EVER! I would visit the office and get receipts monthly showing that I was not late on my payments but they would still try to charge $ 190.00 late fee’s! If you need work done to the home their hire shoddy repair ppl that have actually stolen items from my home. Save yourselves the issues DO NOT RENT any of their listings! Your right Brad I wasn’t there when your vendor came in and was the only person in my home when my $ 10,000 engagement ring went missing from my dresser, thanks for that again! Thanks for referring him to me it happened last spring when your rodent control vendor came to my house, can I get his name for my police report? And if I was late why have I not yet to dat paid that late fee? I’m sure your company would have made me if you could have proved it LOSER! You also advised that I did not have to pay after I advised owner or your illegal charge if you keep threatening me I will seek legal action your choice. The ²⁄₅ stars says it all people

My 7 years experience with Prospectors can be summed up in 1 word, disappointing! We had squirrels in our roof for over a month and had to threaten to seek legal counsel for them to get rid of them, I went a month without being able to sleep through the night and due to the noise in the ceiling, it was, if your paying rent for 7 yrs you would think they would make sure the place was live able. Look at the classless tasteless comments the owner leave all reviewers, save yourselves the drama, DO NOT rent any of their listings!

So glad to be done with this company. Very inconsistent with getting back to us on concerns or repairs. Other times, just plain unprofessional.

If I could give 0 stars, I would!!! My husband and I purchased a home that shares a fence line with one of their properties. After two weeks of calling and reporting issues (code violations) on the property, they never even responded to us. One call I was even told to just keep calling back… like I have time for that. The job of a property management company is just that, to manage the property and mediate for the property owner. In this case they have failed to do either. I am sadly disappointed in their actions, and am amazed that they have been in business as long as they have. Although after reading these reviews, the caddy responses from the owner make it much less surprising.

Thank you for your response, Bradley. As I was expecting you responded in an unprofessional manner to my post. Since you want to call out my grammatical errors, you should be more careful to review your posts for you own.
Unilocal is a place for consumers to voice their experience with businesses. I stated mine, and don’t need to give specifics. Your office has been notified of my concerns and have made the choice to act the way I described in my previous posting.

I was truly disappointed working with this company, as I had been recommended to them by a close family friend who works directly with this management company professionally. Our experience with this business involved little and poor communication on their part, and we did not view one property in over 2 months of working with this company. This was not due to lack of availability on our part. In the end we chose to go with HMS/​Cal West in San Jose, who we signed a lease with in less than a week, and couldn’t be happier. Maybe it was due to Prospectors being busy at the time we tried to work with them, however be prepared to have to lead the communication with their team and wait long intervals for responses.
Wow Bradley, the fact that you felt the need to comment back to this in such an unprofessional manner is exactly why you receive bad reviews on Unilocal.Maybe instead of taking the time to respond back and air personal information (which is definitely illegal as applications are confidential) about every comment, you should direct that energy towards better customer service and interaction. This site is made for people to honesty state their experiences and opinions, and last I checked that was still legal. I find it comical that you believe your team «helped» to try to find us a place. I won’t stoop to your level and criticize, I was simply stating my experience in dealing with your company.

I am utterly ashamed for Prospectors Property Management to stoop so low as to call out each bad review/​customer like this and disclose information about their failed potential customers. This is a true sign of the immaturity and reactionary tactics that wrecks this business and that will ultimately end this crooked, lazy mockery. I won’t divulge details (I’m above that) but I can say renting from Prospectors has been nothing but a pain in the booty. We exist, therefore they have jobs… their attitude is as if they are doing US favors by LETTING us rent from them. LETS not get into the fact that they now have sneaky processing fees WHICH I WILL BE REPORTING TO THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU! If you pay online… theres a fee… if you drop the check off… theres a fee. This is not in our contracts therefore we DO no have to pay these extra fees. Bradley L., you should be ashamed of yourself! You coming on here to degrade ACTUAL customer complaints to make excuses for you and your business is downright appalling. Who knew scum could type!

DO NOT DO BUSINESS with these people. The landlord was great the Property Management and staff of this place are HORRIBLE. I rented out my home in South San Jose to rent in Morgan Hill for a relocation and wouldn’t trust them to manage my property and really should have never rented with them as the management company. They have poor follow through, awful communication, and in general seem to be entirely incompetent. Rent from anywhere but this company. I have never dealt with such low class people in my life!
Follow up to Bradley’s response to one of several negative reviews on his property management company: The owner had to be the responsible party since Prospectors staff were too unprofessional to do so. There was no back rent or penalties since a 30 day notice WAS provided. All deposits that Prospectors refused to return were also paid back, as the house was returned cleaner than when I had moved in. As a home owner I would never use this Company and I would never refer them to anyone. There are other legitimate companies to work with than these Liars, Crooks and Cheats.

I went earlier today to see a house off of Monterey in San Jose. Sara, the real estate woman, as very rude and wouldn’t even introduce herself to me. I had to call her office and get her name. She acted as if she didn’t even want to help us out in renting the home and was very standoffish. I felt very unwelcome and hurried. The house wasn’t even that great to begin with. I asked about the plumbling and proceeded to turn on the shower, the faucet was leaking. The conditions of the house were in bad shape also. She didn’t even want to take my paperwork that I filled out. She was very rude in telling me that I had to go to her office and drop off the papers there. And I felt that she was being bias towards me because other people were there that were of another race and she was only unpleasant to me. The whole experience was horrible. I will never again use this property management company.

My perspective is from the opposite (from the previous reviews) coin as a landlord.
There has been alot of improvement over the last 2+ years. Calls and emails are returned promptly, issues at the property are dealt with fast, and the rent check comes on time each month. The screening process is thorough and we have yet to have problems with the tenants.

This was the worst experience EVER! These people were rude and very uncaring. They never returned my calls and in the end… because there was no communication… we lost a lot of money out of our deposit when we never moved in. Not only that but they never disclosed some vital information which is why we could not move in (a harmful element in this house!).
