Westside Property Mgt has provided outstanding service throughout my 2.5 yrs as a tenant. I've used their maintenance dept services a great deal and each time I’ve received exceedingly prompt, knowledgeable and professional service. Their maintenance team, without a doubt, is a real complement to the management company. Overall, all the management company provides excellent tenant services.

WPM managed my property through Covid times very successfully. It was challenging and required a deft touch which they provided. Tiffany as Account Manager was outstanding. Carlos/Melvin in maintenance were professional with high quality work. Accounting was always prompt and accurate. Josh has put together a great team by treating his clients, tenants and employees professionally and with integrity. Highly recommended.

I am so happy with Westside Property Management. I have been living in my apartment for more than 20 years. The last 10+ years the property management was being handled by another company. Westside Property Management has been managing this property for maybe a year now. The difference between Westside Property Management and the previous company is extreme. The other company would take up to a week to even acknowledge the request. The work they did was ALWAYS what I call "quick & dirty"; always done in the cheapest, easiest way with no attention to aesthetics at all EVER. Westside Property Management is EXACTLY the opposite in ALL ways. They get in touch with me the same day I send a request and at the latest the next day. Something that I've noticed is they don't make me feel like I did something wrong. The other company always had this way of letting me know that they thought whatever needed attention was due to something I did. This is not the case with Westside Property Management. Every workman/technician they send is courteous and they are experts at what they do. Unlike the other company, when someone comes into my apartment they are respectful of my home and they clean up after the work is completed. Everyone I've dealt with at Westside Property Management from the executives, people that answer the phone, workman/technicians etc. are responsible, polite and efficient. I HIGHLY recommend them.

After the Great Pause and the world seemed to be turned-upside-down, I found myself in need of a new place to call home. It only took a few clicks online until I found my PERFECT apartment. Pacific Listings replied immediately with how I could do a self guided tour and really get to know the apartment. It truly was a dream come true and with in moments of standing in the living room, I knew this would be my home. Ms. Allyssa was super fast in drafting up my lease and I was able to move in within days of seeing the property. If you're looking for your new forever home, these guys are here to help!

Excellent service from day 1! Prior to working with Josh and the Westside Property Management team, we had an empty home in the LA area that we needed to rent. We live 400 miles away, so the distance made it difficult to manage the property ourselves. And quite frankly, we're new to being landlords and we wanted to take a hands-off approach. We had no idea what to expect, so we started on Yelp and requested for quotes from top rated and most reviewed property management companies in the LA area. After speaking to almost 10 companies, we decided to work with Josh and WPM because of: 1. Service: Josh was our first point of contact. He did not try to sell us. He educated us on the market, what the expectations of tenants were, anticipated timeline, etc. The WPM team are great with communication and are always available to jump on a call or are quick to respond to emails. When we have questions (and we had a lot of them!), they had answers, and kept us updated in real time when necessary. 2. Price: WPM offers very competitive prices versus the competition. They do not upcharge on repairs and maintenance either. They just forward you the invoice from 3rd party repair and maintenance services. 3. Convenience: This was very valuable to us as we live 400 miles away. We literally gave them the keys and asked them what we needed to do to get the house ready to be marketed and get some great quality tenants to enjoy it as soon as possible. They gave us a list of repairs and maintenance items that needed to be done, competitive quotes for each work order, an estimated timeline to complete the work, timeline to go to market, and timeline to fill. We reviewd and approved the work, and they took care of everything. We completed everything earlier than expected! Whether your needs are like ours or not, Josh and the WPM team can cater to your unique situation. How do we know? That was one of the first questions he asked in our initial calls -- "what do you need?" And "how can we help?" We highly recommend WPM! If interested even at the slightest bit, its worth just giving them a buzz to inquire. We look forward to working with WPM for the long term.

I cannot say enough positive things about WPM. The staff (we've worked with Eric and Tiffany) has always been extremely friendly, accommodating and helpful. They respond within a few hours of a repair request; and most importantly, have worked with my family during the difficult times of COVID-19. I would definitely recommend to a friend and look forward to renting from them for years to come. Keep up the great work!

I want to thank Rachel and Bella, I got my place through their company Westside Property Management. The two of them were very supportive, kind and it was extremely easy to work with them and have their support throughout the entire process. They respond very quickly, are responsible and care about you. I highly recommend you to use Westside Property Management.

I had a great experience with WPM. Bella was very quick to respond and make sure my application was submitted and reviewed faster, in order to expedite the process and get me a new home! With COVID they made it very safe comfortable for me, as well. I will definitely use them again.

It has been about 5 months since I have hired Westside Property Management to manage 2 apartment buildings. I could not be happier. Any questions I have are responded to that same day. I enjoy dealing with different people from different departments to handle different issues. They advise you through email when your monthly statements are in and when disbursements are sent to your bank accounts. Very happy with them. I highly recommend them.

Westside Property Management was so amazing to work with while we were trying to find a rental that suited all of our needs. We worked with Bella throughout the application process. She kept us updated every step of the way, and always made sure we knew what was going on. We never had to wonder if our application was being processed because she kept in contact every day. Once approved, we worked with Rachel who gave us next steps and kept us well informed like Bella. This company was a joy to work with! Thank you for all of your assistance.

Westside Property Management has managed our family's rental properties for over 6 years, and they have always been very responsible, efficient, and helpful to us as well as to our tenants. Their staff are very knowledgeable and provide excellent advice on a range of real estate issues, and they have a very good and responsive maintenance team. We've been extremely pleased with their work!

I have been living in an apartment managed by Westside Property Management for over a year now and they have been the friendliest and most responsive property manager I’ve ever had. Having to work from home since Covid struck, it has been relieving to know that I have a great company I can rely on to deal with any issues promptly.

During the covid-19 pandemic Westside Property Management has been outstanding at communicating and walking me through the process of what I can expect on my rental properties. After working with Westside for years and referring several friends I can say that they are the best out there.

I’ve recently moved back into the country and have been searching high and low for a rental property that would be able to satisfy my needs and utilities that I require, this company WestSide Property Management was able to facilitate and advise me on my long term rental situation and find me the best value for my money as wants in a place. Loved the service and responsibility that the workers representing the company had demonstrated to me. I am now considering after my great long term rental, that would like Westside property management to assist me in looking/buying a house for the next long term decision. Great Service!

They are great! I purchased a home in LA, San Francisco, Boston and sold a house in Boston; they made it seamless for both transactions. After leaving Los Angeles, I rented out my apartment and they managed the property for me! They took care of maintenance, collecting the rent, renewing the tenant. Give them a call!

The team at Westside property management is professional courteous and has always helped me fill my rentals when I needed them with amazing tenants and gotten me great market rates. They are incredibly familiar with the current Westside market and knowledgeable of current trends. They are always available on short notice in case of emergency's. They are accessible when I need them and the team at the office is always available. I highly recommend them for any size property whether small or large.

Loved working with Josh, very friendly. He was flexible with my schedule, very accommodating, helpful with providing connections to other service providers. Trustworthy. Given their long history, the management company has reliable and dependable handyman. Although at the end I decided to not rent my place, I found the customer service extremely professional and patient. Also the management company's portfolio was helpful in looking at rentals and getting a sense of the market.

If you are seeking to buy a home; to rent a home; or initiate property management for your property , either condo or home, this is your place. Stop now, and make that phone call. I am the President of a Condo HOA and this great man, JOSH BARRE, has acted as the PM for one unit in my building. He and his folks are a dream with whom to work. There is the ultimate care for your property; immediate action on issues; and weekend response to everything. The rest of our units are represented by a larger PM company and the results are like night and day. I have to fight for the owners of this building to get their needs met and get delayed response on all issues. As someone who deals with WESTSIDE only when problems arise, I love them and the care they give our building, not just in crisis, but in communicative responses. Thank you Westside PM

As a professional realtor working on a top-producing team in LA, any recommendation I give to my clients I take very seriously. Without hesitation, Westside Property Management is my #1 go-to resource for clients looking to have their properties professionally managed, both large and small. Josh of WSP is probably the hardest working, easy going and helpful individuals I have come into contact with. He is the type that responds in minutes, goes above and beyond and really genuinely cares about his clients. That is so hard to find! 10 stars if I could! You will get the customer service you deserve!

Westside Property Management is the go to place if you are looking for a place to live in Santa Monica. I recently moved across the country and found the perfect condo with ease. Josh is very professional and always gets back to me in a timely manner whenever I have a question or concern. If you decided to go with Westside Property Management I promise you will not be disappointed!

It is gratifying and much appreciated to see your success with the timely receipt of rents from all tenants, but particularly by the two that had become challenging. Congratulations and thank you for the submission of rental payments before the first of the month. Well done!

I had a wonderful experience with Westside Property Management. I cannot thank Josh enough for his professionalism, wealth of knowledge about the market and kindness. He made selling my home a wonderful experience. Josh also helped me find my new one. I was relieved of a lot of stress having Josh oversee the sale of my home and purchase of my new home. A sincere thanks to Josh and everyone at Westside Property Management :)
