Livermore Property Management Services and Benefits for Owners and Investors

Our focus is on value — delivering the very best Pleasanton property management services at a fair price. Our Rent Payment Guarantee means you don’t pay us until we deliver.

I have lived at the Hayes Avenue apartments in Livermore for one year. I have been impressed with how welcomed I have felt, how quickly any issues with my apartment have been addressed, how quiet & safe it is, how appealing it is inside & on the grounds, and how pleasant other tenants are. I am very glad to call this home!

I was referred to Russ and APMS as we were looking for a property management company for our property. Russ came out and explained what APMS could provide as well as a lot of market information for our area. We had also brought out another management company for a quote and Russ blew them away. We ended up going with APMS and they worked hard to get our property ready, listed, and rented out in short period of time. Since its been rented, Paige has been quick to communicate any issues or questions we have had. I would certainly recommend them to anyone else looking for a full property management company.

Sam is excellent. I’ve worked with her directly over the years. Her long-term and big-picture perspective helped us with our real estate options. Her input helped us secure a profitable income property. She not only knew the right questions to ask but shared insight that helped us look into the details of the investment. I continue to rely on her detailed eye with our investments. We look forward to continue working with her and learning more about Advantage Property Management Services.

Would like to thank Advantage for the quick resolution of any issue that I've ever reported. The team is always very responsive in getting whatever I need dealt with quick and fast. I would like to make sure Michelle is recognized as she always goes above and beyond to help and communicate with anything I seek help with. Honestly, the team makes me feel like a homeowner and not just a renter that goes a long way as a previous homeowner. Thank you Ryan

To APMS, &Staff Michelle & Russ Crowley are the Greatest rental services for both tenant and owners. As owners of a condo in San Ramon valley, we find them to be exemplary, professional, reliable and on top of it all.. We have been clients of theirs for 8 yrs. When our home burned down in the Sonoma Wild Fires, Oct 17. APMS was open to any questions we had in needing a rental until our rebuild. Even tho Sonoma was not in their rental community. They are awesome and their staff gets it done. ! Sincerely, Darlene Garey Property Owner and Tenant

I continue to appreciate the cleanliness of the Hayes apartment complex, in my apartment when I moved in as well as the grounds. It amazes me how well this complex continues to be kept up & everything kept in working order. The on-site staff is very helpful as well as the property management team, and all of my needs for repairs have been addressed within 3 days or less. Tenants are respected & all laws relating to tenants are followed well.

Four years ago we hired them to manage our property in Blackhawk CA. It has been a pleasant experience working with them. I found them very responsive to all our needs and our property has remained fully rented for the entire duration. I would recommend their service enthusiastically

Paige was a great trusted partner to help us rent out our property in San Ramon. She was quick to catch an issue with an initial applicant who did not meet APMS's standards for tenants, and they found a great family after that. Paige was also amazing in helping us navigate a tricky situation when we needed to sell our property while the tenants were still there. She handled the conversations with both the tenants and the buyers, and we were able to successfully sell the property in the middle of the pandemic and still allow the renters to stay in the home until the end of their lease. I would highly recommend Paige to anyone who needs a property manager.

I'm writing this review on behalf of my mother who really had a wonderful experience working with this group, especially Said Sanchez. He was so responsive, very professional and understanding. Though my mother ultimately didn't go with the property, Said was continuously friendly and helpful, continuing to send other properties that would meet her criteria.

APMS was a fantastic property management choice for us during these pandemic times! Russ, Makayla and Paige (who is our account manager), were very professional, data oriented, considerate and patient in answering all of our queries and addressing most of our concerns. From our property listing to a successful tenant application, it took only 3 days and the entire experience was a breeze - I would be very remiss if I did not reiterate that this was during COVID-19 and that it would not have been possible, had it not been for Paige's excellent detail oriented handling of our account! We eagerly look forward to working with Paige and APMS in the years to come!

I contacted Russ when my old tenant was 4 months overdue in rent. Russ and Michelle took over the property management and worked with the tenant to put together a payment plan. When we ran out of all choices, they helped through the eviction process. Needless to say, the property was in terrible shape after eviction. Michelle arranged with contractors to bring the property back to rentable condition and rented out during the middle of the COVID lock down. In a short amount of time, we used many of their services and extremely pleased with the way things worked out. Thank you, Michelle and Russ.

I have been a resident under Advantage Property Managment services for a little over 3 years now as a resident and I can say that the quality of services has been top notch! Advantage offers clear communication to their residents and have easy to use portals for rent payments, service request and lease documentation. The few times I have needed maintenance services, my request were responded to quickly (most time’s less than 24hrs) and the issue was handled correctly the first time. My contact Paige - is always very responsive and kind when I speak to her which makes communication very pleasant. I have dealt with other services in the past and not all interactions have been great, however Advantage has been great and I would highly recommend their services.
