Terrible management. I do not know much about owners. But they never live in same states we lived. Anything we have to say go through bell Anderson. Owners do not want to communicate with us except through Bell Anderson. Terrible management. Stay away from Maria Garcia. We rented 22404 8th Ave s Des Moines Washington. Bad ideas.

I have lived here for less than a year and already I have seen the rude behaviour and lack of management. They lock themselves in thier office, do not answer calls and for the last 2 months they have not paid the trash bill and the trash has built up on the corner. Instead of paying the trash bill and letting it go they decided to write me up for leaving the trash bin on the street corner. So this is my way of writing them up. Do not move here or let these people rent your property out. They lie, deceive and then blame others for thier instabilities as a manager.

Terrible property management firm. For the amount you're paying each month for them to manage your property they hardly anything. They don't communicate with you even when they authorize thousands of dollars worth of work. No one ever answers the phone there and they answer your emails. If you have an issue they don't let you talk to anybody but you're one property manager representative even if that's the person you have an issue with. I will be taking my business elsewhere.

I've dealt with this management company for over 6 years and it's one of the best! The staff is extremely friendly, professional, knowledgeable and always willing to help. I believe Bell Anderson goes above and beyond for their tenants and they are always willing to answer any questions.

For reasons unknown our traditional HOA decided to employ Bell Anderson & Associates as the property management group for the Maple Ridge Highlands. Since they have taken over things have progressively gotten worse within the neighborhood as far as enforcing care and cleanliness of the community. I have had to contact individual staff members multiple times for simple enforcements that have been issues for several months that were blatantly obvious.
They simply do not manage anything unless forced to do so. I also want to let everyone know something I learned after selling my home. This company requires the homeowner to pay $100 for providing the title company with a statement that essentially states you are in good standings. While a nominal fee would be more tolerable this fee is egregious and of pure greed. The members of the management team have all the data at their fingertips yet they will not release it without extorting its members for it.
Some might say its "Customary" to charge for this. However, that doesn't mean it right. Folks need to stand up to things like this or they will continue to collect on the backs of the ill-advised citizens.

I have used this company to mange the renting of my house for over 6 years and the communication is TERRIBLE. I pay them 10% of the rental revenue and OVER the first month rent and for that money they won't take calls, make repairs without authorization, don't have a "live" person to reach when there is problems. I had an issue and they refused to even speak with me, would only email. Worst customer service.
I can't believe that when I have an issue they wouldn't even call back! If the management would actual have called back I would have left the review but I can't believe with as much money as they have made from me I wasn't even worth a return call.
