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!
We are out of state owners and depend on Westside Property Management for everything regarding our West LA condo rental. They are very professional and responsive. We would recommend them to anyone looking for a great property manager!
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!
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 :)
I needed help leasing out my Santa Monica condo, and found Westside Property Management through a Google search last summer. The office was responsive and promptly set up an appointment for an initial consultation with Josh. He explained their services (I was new to property rental) and answered my questions. When I decided to move forward with them, it was a relatively painless process. They took care of finding and vetting applicants, and then helped me prepare the condo for the tenants. When the tenants reported issues following the heavy rains, Westside assisted in coordinating the repairs. On a couple of occasions I've had to follow up with them to get status on something, but overall I would say my experience during the last 8 months has been very positive.
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!
They are great! I purchased a home in 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!
Josh has done an outstanding job of finding a renter for us and communicating consistently throughout the process. It has been an enjoyable experience dealing with Josh and Westside and I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs assistance in the LA area.
westside properties management are amazing. I have been using them for couple months now and I must say they always respond to my tenant very fast and fix any problem right away. their team is very helpful
thank you guys
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
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.
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.
They charged me for an application fee and got all my sensitive personal information and documents only to let me know that they chose another applicant. Not sure if any discrimination is involved in their choice of tenants.

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!
I just think it's ironic that all the 4/5 star reviews are from the property owners and the 1 star reviews are for the people renting the properties. I rented a unit through Westside for 3+ years. When I didn't have issues with the unit, it was great! I paid my rent on time and didn't need to contact them. When I did have issues (cockroaches, water leaks, etc...)- good luck trying to speak with an actual human being on the phone. I never was able to speak with anyone on the phone. Constant follow-ups are required and it's pretty obvious they are short staffed. For some apt issues, I ended up speaking with the general contractors or the actual owner to get things fixed in a timely manner.
I'm sure they are good value and that's why property owners like to use them. But just be weary of how the tenants are treated at these units. I would never use them if I needed to rent my property.
BEWARE LANDLORDS AND RENTERS ALIKE.
My friend tried to rent a privately owned unit managed by this company. It had been on the market for 30 days when my friend submitted an application. She had an 800 credit score and a year of rent in savings. They asked for a co-signer and she gave them one. She also offered an additional month of rent paid up front. They charged 100 for the app fees total.
Once they received the information They told us the landlord needed to review it and they would contact her tomorrow. They didn’t. After 3 weeks of ignored calls and a lack of updates, Rachel told my friend she didn’t get approved... when her lease was now expiring at her previous residence.
They cost this landlord not only their fees but they lost the landlord over $5000 by not submitting applicants information to them in a timely manner. (Or maybe even not submitting it at all.)
Another red flag was this property management company didn’t know how to verify self employment income. I had to speak to multiple people to explain to them that self employed people do not generally have w-2 statements or payroll checks from their employer.
This was the most unprofessional management company I’ve come in contact with. It’s okay that she didn’t get that apartment, another apartment is clearly the better option. I just wanted to take a moment to warn landlords and tenants of how this business is run to save them their time and hard earned money.
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.
This company been managing our building for about a year and I requested maintenance couple of times for necessary and sanitize things like bathroom walls that has mold on it and my kitchen that has open exhaust duct which cause insects coming in.
They are doing NOTHING.
Even building common area is not clean.
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.
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!
Thank you WPM for your prompt response to the various problems that good management must address. Your professional staff all deliver. I am grateful for consistent resolution of issues.
