There was a repair job that he had his handyman do, it was done well and the charge was reasonable.
Description of Work: He was very knowledgeable with the rental market and he explained to me how he does his business. His rates were very reasonable and he was very diligent. Very friendly. Before we signed the contract, he told me what he does and after we signed the contract, he prepared the house to my satisfaction. He found a good renter really fast.

Patrick Alain, owner and manager of Manager 4 Less, obtained a good tenant for my townhouse in less than 30 days. He did a very thorough inspection prior to the tenant moving in and made sure that the move-in by the new tenant would go smoothly for both the landlord and the tenants. Patrick is extremely professional, pleasant, energetic and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend him and his company for finding a tenant and property management.

I met with Patrick about possibly managing my house in Oceanside. He was very punctual and professional. I decided to use another property management company in the end, but I was very thankful for Patrick's time and advice. He spent about 2-3 hours with me at the property and I really felt like he was knowledgeable about the property management business. Like I said, I decided to use another property manager in the long run, but Patrick was very understanding and did not begrudge me when I told him I'd decided to use another person's services. In the future, if I need a new property manager, I will definitely keep Patrick and Manager 4 Less in mind. They are very professional and competitive, only charging 6% of the rent collected for their fee.

It went exactly as it was supposed to go! We had a disagreement with our landlord and Patrick was hired by her. Instead of arguing and the landlord disagreeing, Patrick at Manager 4 Less came in to communicate with her and advised her to do the right thing. We had a very bad water issue and had to move quickly. The landlord did not want to give us our deposit back. We left the house cleaner than when we moved in and Patrick new that. He told the landlord to just give us our deposit back and move on. He had her house rented within 1 week. We got our deposit back, just as Patrick promised he would do for us. We had our check within 2 days of moving out. I would recommend him and his company Manager 4 Less to anyone that needs property management. He is quick, efficient, and a man of his word. Not easy to find these days! He was also very professional and always answered our calls or returned them promptly. Without him handling our situation, I know things would not have turned out the way it did.. .the right way! I will have him handle my rental the next time!
Description of Work: He represented our landlord and worked with us as renters to resolve a dispute!

I have been using Manager 4 Less for the past three years and my experience has been an extremely positive one. Elise, Anna and the team have managed my eight rental units in North San Diego County. They always succeed to fill a property quickly and are experts in handling any emergency situations when they arise. I am also quite impressed with their tenant screening process. Until now, I never had to deal with any bad situations with any of the houses that are managed by them. They clearly know how to screen, select and handle the people. Overall, I would say that I have no hesitation in recommending the Manager 4 Less team to landlords who need a great partner to look after their properties.

I used to self-manage my property in Oceanside for over two years before deciding to look for a professional property management company. After interviewing five different companies, I found Manager 4 Less. They offer low cost and great service. I was quite impressed by their extensive market knowledge and execution, which gives me peace of mind knowing that my property is in very good hands, they are always here for me, they are very friendly and dedicated. Customer service is a must for me, and the Manager 4 Less team is very responsive every time that I contact them. They are respectful of both my time and the tenants. If you are in the market for a professional property management company, give Manager 4 Less a call and you will be exhilarated you did!

In the year of 2013, I was looking for a company to manage our three homes that my father willed to my brother and I. It took a long time to interview the local property managers of North San Diego County. When we met the people at Manager 4 Less, we realized that their prices for managing homes were lower than those of the competition. And because less cost means more profit, we decided to hire them. Let me share my experience. We are easily amortizing the costs associated with ownership. Everything is taken care of by the property managers of Manager 4 Less and we don't have to worry about being landlords. Our experience is SUPER POSITIVE and we are so thankful to God that these guys help us.
Description of Work: Managed my homes amazingly !

Before working with Manager 4 Less, I was using a large company based in San Diego but, because I had a few issues, I decided to move my account to a more reputable company. So, I went on the web and found that Manager 4 Less had lots of excellent reviews. I was curious and I visited their website. Because it was on a Sunday, I left a message on their website's contact form and they called me within the next ten minutes. I had a ton of questions and we spoke for about 20 minutes. I told them that I wanted to hire them without hesitation to manage my home in Escondido, but it had to be done fast because I was very unhappy with my previous manager. They took care of all the transfer paperwork. Everything went really well ever since. I know that they really fight to get me the most affordable maintenance possible. Each time I have a request, I send an email and someone contacts me soon after. Their response time is amazing and really, it's a great value for a management company! I really have a strong esteem for the hard work they perform.

Since I started using them in April of 2013, everything always went really well with the team of Manager 4 Less. Prior to finding them, I had used three management companies before. I own three rental properties, the first one is in Cardiff, next to the Beach, the second one is in Oceanside Pier and the third one is a single family home in Vista. Now, after this very positive experience, Manager 4 Less is the team that that I am forever sticking with! Their fees are very reasonable and always clearly beat the competition. The vacancy on my homes is very low and the maintenance cost is super affordable. Collecting the rent on time is never a problem. Speaking to my manager is never a problem either. I am so glad I found them and I carry their business card in my wallet so that I can refer them at anytime.

When my grandpa passed away, my sister and inherited three homes at the same time and we needed to hire a property manager urgently. The three houses were a large 3 bedrooms house in Oceanside, a 2 bedroom Carlsbad beach condo, and a 4 bedroom townhouse in Encinitas Village. I came to know Manager 4 Less from a referral at work who had been using them for a few years. I called Manager 4 Less Property Management, and they came to meet me at my Oceanside house for a free consultation. I was very anxious because I had an enormous amount of questions. After this meeting, I felt at ease right away. I was honestly so impressed by their knowledge and experience that I decided to give it a GO. We signed the deal right away and they found me tenants in less than three days. I could not be any happier. I get my rent at the same time each month and I am always aware of any updates on my house. On top of everything, they are very easy to reach and I never had any headaches. I totally recommend them !

The property management staff has an impressive depth and breath of knowledge and experience in real estate, legal procedures, and accounting. My personal experience has been that when I task Manager 4 less to complete a request, not only is the request fulfilled but it is taken as a personal challenge to exceed my expectations. I would highly recommend their services for managing your real estate.
Description of Work: He has provided numerous services from aiding in the eviction of problem tenants, to aiding in recording a quick claim deed, to vetting and placing quality tenants.
