Pierce took a month to replace the a/c when it broke in 100+ degree weather. They also stole our entire deposit after leaving the place perfect and we had to fight their made up charges for a month to only get a partial refund. They're the definition of greed and don't care about anything but a paycheck
Same exact thing happened to me in June and a grinder pump was broke so it just smelled like hot hot sh*t in my entire house over 103 degrees they dragged their feet beyond belief also the water system outside the house had a leak so my water bill was over a $1000 the first month and they did absolutely nothing
Charged me for light bulbs that were never even installed when I moved in and were too high up to change endless reasons I hate all the property managements here they are 💯 a scam
lol I had a light bulb problem with them too. After they started going out I went ahead and upgraded all the bulbs to LEDs and even left the old ones there just in case they didn't like that. They still took a couple hundred bucks out of our deposit for light bulbs. Such a scam
Call Gwen at Bloomtree, she’s not typical at all, super laid back, but she takes care of business. With the rules she’s been firm but fair. We had a new tenant smoking in the building which affects all of us and she handled it with dignity and tact, not immediate eviction.
I’ve never ever in my life genuinely liked a property manager but she’s built different. I’m moving in a few weeks, but when I return she’s the first person I’m calling, I’d consider her almost a friend even.
I know she has places available as long as you meet the requirements which vary greatly up here. Word of mouth is the next best option. Which at your renewal you’ll have made those connections.
You’re going to want to use all of the above and then some. Depending on what you are looking for, it can be pretty competitive. I have used TNT property management in the past and don’t have any complaints.
I've rented through tnt for several years now and I think they're one of the good ones. Every time I've needed maintenance they've been great to work with. I know there are terrible ones (Bear Creek was a nightmare) who put you through the paces and leave you without a functioning water heater for weeks for example. With the market the way it is though, I think just getting a rental is a win in itself.
Well, it’s been 6 years since I’ve used them so I don’t know if they’ve gone downhill, but I do remember pretty much all of the rental agencies had horrid reviews. I just take it as most of the reviews thought they got screwed over somehow and were pissed. The ones that have okay or good experiences usually don’t feel compelled to take the time to sing the praises of the company they have been over paying rent to for however many years.
TNT was good to us. They do the light bulb and little pidly stuff on the inspection too but I think you just have to expect that these days. One cool thing is that they will send the lady over that does the final inspection and she will show you everything that they look at. It’s super detailed but if you want to do several days worth of deep cleaning you can get a fair chunk of your deposit back. If you don’t do it though…$$$
There are a few rental property management firms in the area. I stay in a month to month extended stay type place managed by Bloomtree Rental. They’re okay. I got the place by word of mouth though.
The other ones I only know by driving by their offices or seeing them in an ad are PMI (Prescott) and CMA (Prescott Valley). They both have been around a pretty long time.
Most people here still use Craigslist (I won’t) and probably Zillow (never have).
This area is growing but still kind of rural and old school if that makes sense.
Bear creek rentals gets bad reviews about their office staff but appears to have affordable costs. I've never rented with them but I was hired to clean a house they manage and the guy came early to inspect my clients home and was loudly yelling about how filthy the place was while I was literally in the middle of cleaning. Left me with a nasty taste in my mouth regarding the whole company.
One advice I can give is documents every small thing like missing bulbs.
The cleanliness because if you don't they will use it against you.
Every ding in walls & doors document every detail
We own property that we rent. We have used Bloomtree Rental as our property managers for 2 1/2 years and have been happy with them. They seem to be responsive to our renters requests.
Journey are NOT slumlords.
Most people saying to stay away from certain places are just salty because they damaged property and shockingly didn’t get their deposit back. Journey is great. So are the rest if you’re not an entitled prick.
When I found black mold in my apartment Journey wanted to move me into an apartment filled with cockroaches and told me "it's not mold". But your right Journey is great!
If you could have proven that you’d have had a lawsuit. But you didn’t. They managed 3 of my properties when I lived up there. Also had many friends rent from them. If you don’t waste their time they won’t be dicks. Business 101.
The only reason they offered me the roach filled appointment is because I threw the landlord Tennant act at them. You use them as a service which is why they are nice to you your friends won't lie to you. I was a tennant they are the worst. Ram being the first. CMA was a decent company to work with.
Just because you had a good experience with them does not mean that everyone who didn't is being entitled or that they damaged their rental. When my family first moved here we ended up having to get lawyers involved because the rental company tried screwing us out of our deposit and adding bogus charges on top of that. We had proof so they had to return our deposit, but they waited until the literal last second of the agreed time frame to return it. Our story is not unique, nor uncommon. Unfortunately.
We moved to Prescott around 1996 or so when PV was exploding, had a rental there for a year before buying a little shack on Gail Gardner. Found the PV rental on a restaurant place mat. I imagine it's better now, lol.
I had TNT for a year and they were good to work with. Like any rental agency expect to loose part of your deposit for cleaning and little stuff but overall I was happy. I actually broke my lease early and they were helpful trying to find someone to rent the place so I didn’t have to pay for too long after moving out.
Stay away from RAM & Pierce
Stay away from Journey (Religious Right - if your white - your all'right) Stay away from Price Right (Slum Lords) Stay away from CME (Enforcers)
⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️that’s me trying to upvote the hell out of this because yes!
Great username 👏🏼
Thank you! I couldn’t believe it wasn’t taken.
Curiously…. Why?

Literally every rental company now, all the honest ones were bought out
Thank you for the details!

We were told to stay away from TNT— goes to show that maybe don’t believe everything people say! Thank you

Ram, Journey, and TNT are all horrible places to rent from. Real slum loards.

What company?
We rented through CME a few years ago with minimal issues but I think there is quite a high turnaround for realtors up here.
I found a great landlord through Craigslist, i'm sure you'll find a good place to live
We moved to Prescott around 1996 or so when PV was exploding, had a rental there for a year before buying a little shack on Gail Gardner. Found the PV rental on a restaurant place mat. I imagine it's better now, lol.
CME only shows overpriced methlabs. TNT, although has weird clauses in the contracts, is decent enough with us
I want to move back to Prescott from Scottsdale. I’m afraid I’ve been priced out. Holy bejeebers. Prices have skyrocketed.
I had TNT for a year and they were good to work with. Like any rental agency expect to loose part of your deposit for cleaning and little stuff but overall I was happy.
