Been working with them for a couple of years on two properties and it has been a overall great experience. Very patient and understanding of the matter st hand. The staff do a great job communicating and they provide a human touch when handling your personal matters. I feel its a great look to keep doing business with this property management company. I definitely feel very fortunate to have them on my side looking out for my best interest.

Bay Area has been managing my property for a number of years. I have always received a prompt response to all of my questions or concerns. They have treated me like family. They have gone above and beyond to assist me. Diana and Debra are excellent. They are true to their word and extremely efficient and responsive. I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of property management. They are the BEST!

I recently moved from a property managed by Bay Area Property Management of Tampa. I found them to be very professional and responsible whenever I had need to contact them with questions or issues. I worked mostly with Diana Colon and with Debra. My messages were always returned timely and with a positive and friendly attitude. They worked with me to problem solve any situation and provided prompt responses and services. I highly recommend this company and would gladly work with them again!

They transferred a lease of a pour unit to me without any inspection or check list in purpose not to return my deposit after the lease, I've called them to perform a site visit and to inspect the property, they denied and sent me a check list to fill by myself and I'm not a professional on that. My lease was ended after three years and ended up by returning me 200 & out of 1500 $ for a property was never maintained or even cleaned for over 9 years.
And started to act rude upon my request to return me my money after deducting reasonable amount for cleaning and my 3 years usage. My advise not to keep any deposits on that place as you will never see it back better to keep away from dealing with them.

5 years ago I needed to rent my home and was referred to Bay Area Property Management. They have been amazing to deal with. The property was rented quickly and any maintenance issues were handled swiftly. Even though I have decided to no longer have the home as a rental, I have nothing but praises and would recommend them to anyone looking to need a property manager.

I own a house but I did not have the experience to deal with the tenants. My partner introduced me to Debra and she took care of everything. Debra is very friendly and efficient. She was in charge of coordinating all the repairs and maintenance that my house needed before renting it. My house was rented quickly and at a very reasonable price. I guarantee that Debra will take care of your property as if it were hers. Thank you Debra for your services.

Bay Area Property Management is best described by one word - Professionalism. As a realtor and a tenant, I have dealt with so many Property Management companies but after moving into my current home, I instantly realized that they were in a different league in comparison to all other companies. They are responsive, very thorough and work efficiently. No matter what the issue the tenant may have, they have reliable companies that think highly of them and ready to take on projects at any time.
A good example would be when I had problems with the water heater, though I reported it later in the day, Bay Area Property Management called their contact/company to fix the issue right away. Unfortunately the workers of that company already left for the day but the owner personally came out that same evening to fix the issue. They are always available to help. I would highly recommend their services. You won't be disappointed!
