La peor compañía para rentar! Son unos mentirosos

Janet Forney

I would like to give no stars but not an option. I paid and entrusted this company to represent me for a rental property while I was overseas. At best they gave bad advice, at worst actively worked to my disadvantage. As an example there was an outside, temporary structure used for storage built under the patio awning. Not up to code and stuffed with paper where the walls met the awning. They wanted me to spend $2,754 on making it water tight etc. This structure was not even legal as it backs on to a bedroom and there would be no way of escaping with the room in front. The tenant opted to break their contract over this room and Esquire blamed me for their leaving as “the proper thing to do was to fix the issue”. With them managing the property it became a money pit and I opted to move back in myself. At this point they charged me $1000 for termination of the contract but nothing to the tenants. The room was never in their contract in the first place. I also lost my washer/drier as the tenants didn’t want to use it or store it. They should have been informed that they were part of the contract and needed to be retained.
My son was advised by an HOA company locally that they wouldn’t recommend them. If only I had had this advice. Avoid this company.

Everyone I have dealt with at Esquire has been absolutely terrific. The entire organization runs in a seamless, professional manner. Every single time I called whoever answered the phone was not only professional, but very helpful and extremely friendly. Marie initially helped me with the application process which was then finalized by Patty and ultimately completed by Tracy. Patty responded immediately whenever I had a question and one time when Patty was out Maria happened to answer the phone and she looked into things for me and like everyone else, she was courteous and professional. Today Diana reminded me to take care of one item I had forgotten about. She handled it by text and like everyone else was professional and very kind. To say that I am impressed by this company is an understatement. They “take care of business” and they do it in a friendly, helpful manner. They fully utilize technology, via texts, emails, telephone calls, and “Docusign.” Highly recommended!!! It’s fun to deal with a company where everyone not only is good at what they do, but they are just nice people. It’s clear they derive joy in serving others, which is really what life at its best is all about. Keep up the good work Esquire and thank you very much Patty, Marie, Maria, Diana and Tracy, as well as all the nice people who answered the phone whenever I called in. I haven’t yet dealt with Natasha (my actual property manager) but I’ve got a sneaking hunch she’s just like the rest of ‘em:-). Very good at what she does and very nice.

Esquire is by far the best property management team I have ever worked with, and it's not even close. They go well above and beyond your typical property management company. For example, my tenant all of a sudden disappeared and was several months behind rent. Turns out that the tenant was in the hospital with a chronic illness. Once Tracy G. found out the hospital, she actually went to visit the tenant in the hospital to see how he was doing. I don't know any company that would do that. Also, because the tenant was behind on rent, we had to file for rental assistance from the state of CA. Maria S. took the lead on this and was relentless on following up with the state to make sure that our application was approved. Ultimately, she got the job done and our application was approved. Thank you so much for your hard work, diligence and customer service, Maria! To sum it up, I highly recommend Esquire if you are in need of a quality property management firm with a team that really cares about you, your tenants and your investment. You will not be disappointed!

Update 7/30/2021:
Esquire has continued to amaze me. The team has done an amazing job navigating the pandemic and making sure tenants are taken care of while at the same time looking after the owners. Admittedly I was very afraid at the start of Q2 2020 that tenants would stop paying. But that didn't happen. The reason is because Esquire put in the effort up front to make sure quality tenants with integrity were chosen prior to the pandemic. As a result it has been easier to weather through these tough times. And because Esquire chose good tenants for me, I was able to take back some of the rent money to reinvest in the home so that the tenants have a better living experience.

Past notes:
I've worked with Esquire Property Management back during their earlier days when Tracy and her team were running the business out of a smaller office in Camarillo. I view Esquire very much as my business partner in managing my real estate assets and helping me move closer to early retirement. The team always put my interests first when I was just starting out. There were times where they told me to walk away from a property because something about it seemed really fishy.

Once things became more operational, the Esquire team has done a phenomenal job in ensuring low vacancy and good market rents are collected. They care about the tenant as much as I do, and they always inform me of expenses before spending any money. It's been very painless and stress-free working with Esquire. You can't go wrong with this amazing team!

My family and I wanted to take a moment to share our experience in working with a property management company for the first time in our lives. Furthermore, to share with you how truly exceptional Ms. Patricia Barraza was in helping us find a place to call home. My review is truly overdue, and for that I apologize to Ms. Barraza. We found a place to call home in Camarillo on June of this year. We had previously lived in the same home for 45 years.
I am a firm believer that the industry Patty works in is competitive and therefore customer service is key. My family and I were fortunate to have come across a leasing agent who makes you feel like your needs are first priority. If Patty was ever having a bad day or super busy, that never came though via any of our endless communications filled with endless questions. Patty was always very thorough, and I mentioned to her how incredible her responsiveness was. If she was not available, I would always hear back from her no longer than 5 minutes later. Seriously!
The cool, calm mindset kept our anxiety low and gave me the confidence I was working with the right property management company. Patty is very knowledgeable of the market; her kindness and just overall good energy made the entire process very relaxing and simple.
I worked with other large property management companies in Ventura County. The property management company is only as good as the employes that work for them. No one comes close to what Patty brings to the table. She is truly a gold nugget in anyone who is fortunate to have her as the face of such a service-oriented business. I will say that Patty set my expectations really high and not unrealistically high either. I speak of Patty at Esquire Property Management to anyone that is looking for a new place to call home. When we are looking to move or transfer, we will not hesitate to call Patty, and work with Esquire Property Management.
We truly appreciate her input and relied on it heavily. This is an invaluable quality to have as a service provider, and not everyone has it. She truly focuses on making sure people are satisfied though the process and with the outcome. I would trust Patty with my eyes closed. Just outstanding! Thank you!! Patty

Warm Regards,
Mosqueda Family

Esquire has been very professional and efficient over the last two and a half years for myself and roommates. They have handled any maintenance issues quickly and with care. Also, they do a great job of mediating between tenant and landlord. They have been extremely helpful when it comes to looking for new properties and they go the extra mile to please both parties. Monica has been especially pleasant to work with, and I highly recommend this property management company.

I have been a client of Esquire Property Management for over 3 years now, part of that time while residing out of state in Georgia. Esquire has provided exceptional service to me as a client, and being a business professional, I look for only top notch companies who can represent myself and my property the way that I would, and better!!! I have found them to be very trustworthy and their team, specifically, Maria, follows through with professionalism, effective communication, and diligence that has been exceptional.
I would highly recommend to anyone that is looking for a Property Management Company to choose Esquire if you want things handled professionally, efficiently and with you as the client in mind.
Thank you Tracy, Thank you Maria, Thank you Esquire!!
