Esquire Property Management

I rented a a property that Lee managed and I had the worst time with any customer service. I had to jump through hoops and plea and pray that certain things would get fixed. Before moving in, there were certain items that needed to be repaired that we agreed upon. Those items were never repaired. There were times when i was asked to repair the issue’s myself. Other times when i was blamed for certain devices that were broken.
After i realized it was time to move out, I was charged ridiculous fees for items and repairs that existed before i moved in. No deposit was returned, or offered. The rental property was in better shape after i left then it was before i moved in. + 1 on NOT receiving rental deposit back!
Lee is a great person, but when it comes to property management, he is looking for one thing, and that’s profit.
I would not recommend renting any property from Esquire Property Mgmt.

Esquire Property Management has been managing my properties for over 8 years
and its been a stress free experience. I meet Lee in 2005 and he was very helpful
in making me feel comfortable enough to invest in property in another state.
Lee has always been very professional, informative with corespondent with tenants
and any problems they are having. Lee has found reasonable repair quotes on everything I have ever needed.
It has been a pleasure to have Esquire manage my property and I would highly
recommend them to any one needing property management.

My experience with Esquire has been excellent. I bought a rental property on 2006 and Esquire has done a fantastic job of managing the property. I deal with Lee («Archie») and he has been nothing but professional, responsive and has looked out for my best interests in a fair and honest way. It’s been 7 – years of great service. Lee/​Esquire was referred to me by my real estate agent who still uses his services and recommends him to clients.
I’ve been in business a long time and know that you can’t be in business a long time without having a few unhappy clients. I have found it is easy to get a client to say something «bad» about you and 10x as hard to get a client to say something good about you.
I recommend Esquire without reservation.

Lee is a great broker /​property manager to work with. We have multiple properties from northern CA to southern CA and Lee is hands down the best that we’ve ever worked with. and we’ve worked with a lot.
Esquire Property Management is what i call a stress free management company as we really, have no stress when dealing with them.
Theyve multiple times found us great tenants over and over again in the past 7 years and our experiences have been great.
he keeps us up to speed, aligned with our tenants and accounting always perfectly reported. Anyone looking for a property management company in Southern CA… Lee with Esquire is your guy.

WOW! The guy who runs this company probably won’t be in business much longer. We had a property that needed to be rented that, when he saw it, told us «it was going to be difficult to rent this piece of crap». The time during which the tenants lived there went without a hitch, except for the occasional rent check (from the property manager, not the tenants) arriving late or to the wrong address. Then, when it was time for tenants to leave and for us to take over the property again, he cussed out a property co-​owner, telling him several times to go f— himself, to go f— off, that he was a f — ing b — h, that the property is a f — ing piece of s — , that he’s had to work his a– off to maintain that property and to get our f — ing rent on f — ing time, etc. etc. (This was effectively an unprovoked outburst, after the co-​owner mumbled about him being an a-​hole, for which he apologized, after repeatedly being interrupted.) This guy was being paid to manage the property, that he ended up renting out well below our asking price, and threw tantrums whenever he was required to do anything beyond the bare minimum. For example, when it was time to turn the property over (which would include retrieving keys from the tenants, doing a walk through to inspect damages to the property and closing out the contract), he balked after his tirade and told us that we’d have to meet with the tenant personally to take over the house again! (It is HIS job to be the middle man, that’s what he was PAID to DO!) In short, the owner is completely and utterly unprofessional, discourteous, lazy, angry, defensive and downright rude.
Edited to add: After completion of the turn-​over between us and the tenants (there was no Mr. Holland to be seen or heard from), we discovered quite the damage to the property. The tenants told us that Mr. Holland told them that much of the damage was from US! The house was vacant for approximately 3 months before the tenants moved in, during which time Mr. Holland’s people supposedly cleaned up and painted. The tenant informed us that his party had actually done the cleaning, alluded to having done the painting and tried to fix damages here and there. And guess what ??? We were charged by Mr. Holland in excess of $ 2000 to have his people paint and repair and get the property ready. Furthermore, neither the tenants nor us have located some of the items and fixtures that were left in the house as part of the rental (a list of items was given to Mr. Holland that should not be removed from the house). In short, he is a bad businessman, a swindler and a thief.
