A Plus Property Management

No Stars no positive feedback, this devil should not be in business. As a realtor I honestly don’t know how or who keeps her in business. She is very rude and has zero professionalism. Calling other people names, yelling and posting fake ads is just incomprehensible.

Wish you could put negative stars. This lady is rude, like most property managers are but in no comparison to the others. She’s not someone you want to rent from or use as a manager. Keep searching.

I’ve not rented from Barbara as I am a homeowner, but she was my Mortgage Broker over 20 years ago when I purchased my first home. I learned an acquaintance (friend of a friend), Stephanie, whom I barely know, posted a scathing review and am shocked and appalled to see my name invoked and want to set the record straight. I never said anything negative about Barbara, nor would I, and am dismayed to have been used so falsely and immaturely in this way.
Barbara is efficient, professional, honest, ethical — and does not suffer fools. I happen to like that. She guided me deftly through an at-​the-​time bewildering process, and brought me out the other side with understanding, compassion and competence. She was on top of everything!
She was a friend years ago, and I have the utmost respect for her. If I were in the market to rent, I would not hesitate to use her. And if I needed to rent out a property, I would definitely contact her as an option.
Bottom line: she’s trustworthy and a straight-​shooter, or was with me when I had business dealings with her. And I seriously doubt this leopard changed her spots. It’s in her DNA!

I recently signed a lease with Barbara. She was recommended to me by a colleague who had rented from her for three years and spoke highly of her.
I got lucky — Barbara had a place that was the perfect fit for my family. The process was fast and easy. Within less than a week from my first call we had signed a lease. Barbara was throughout very professional, pleasant and responsive. As a busy professional myself with a demanding job I really appreciated her professionalism and no-​nonsense approach. I have always rented from private landlords and was worried I would have to deal with a lot of red tape dealing with a property manager, but Barbara was easy to work with.
Looking at these Unilocal reviews, it strikes me that all the one-​stars are from kids. If your an adult who knows how to do business I think you will get along just fine with Barbara.

After reading all the negative reviews, one feels relief and compelled to share. Barbara is beyond rude and condescending, and obviously an angry person. I know one her former friends who confirmed she is bad news. The first time I encountered this woman was 2011 when she confronted me by screaming, yes, screaming, that I had parked too close to her precious Ass frame business. She freaked out my dog, who remained in the car, it was that scary. Jump to a few years later when I’m with someone who drops their rent off… I exclaimed, «Do you KNOW that woman?! She’s evil!» He agreed but said he been renting from A+ since 2002 and rarely had to deal with her, thankfully.
When dealing with Barbara on the phone, it creeped me out how when she realized she wasn’t speaking to a moron, she changes her tune to «conspiring friend» which is disturbingly manipulative. Zero compassion. Makes mama kardashian look pleasant.
Apparently, Barbara is not licensed. Her paperwork displays no license information with the BRE. I did ask for her Bureau of Real Estate License Number recently. She hung up on me. I believe her to be an employee of someone who probably is licensed. Who knows? One thing we all know from the reviews below is that Barbara is full of self importance, hence the strict appointment crapola she pulls. Come on! Answer the phone!
The person I am engaged to and live with has rented from A+ for twelve years. Never been late with rent (she jacks it up 30% if you are a day late) and today Barbara left a 60-​day notice taped to the door. What a pro. Perhaps the law has changed, but I am told it should read 90-​days.
Not dog friendly. Ignores needed repairs. A realtor friend recently mentioned the rental is a major red tag and probably why we have to move: code violations. Barbara’s excuse? The owner is selling. Yeah, right.

I have rented an apartment from them in Santa Clara for over a year and my experience with Kim has been very good. There was an issue once with the heater furnace and once with the water heater, but they got addressed promptly within short timeframe. Tenant’s concerns are addressed immediately and the property is managed very well. The neighbors have been very friendly and we enjoy staying here.

Just spoke to them about a property for rent, after getting a callback days after leaving messages. They’re condescending, rude, and downright unkind. They never pick up their phone, even their emergency line… They should be ashamed-isn’t a realtor/​property managers job to PICK UP THEIR PHONE AND DEAL WITH PEOPLE? If I had my property listed with them I would be SCARED. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THESE PEOPLE! They are scumbags.

Very disappointing … I have a 5 year old gentle as a lamb pit bull.
He goes everywhere with us and is never left alone. He tolerates my kids standing on him and chasing him. I would never think twice about him with any child or any other dog for that matter.
A+ will not rent to me because of my loving sweet dog … I believe that is discrimination and I am very disappointed!

i just want to say that barbara at a+ property management is so pleasant, so accommodating, so nice. truly. i’ve just rented a property that she manages (i;m a renter again…), and she has totally gone out of her way to meet me at off-​hours, expedite my application, etc. she even sent her cleaning team back to my rental when i called about some things being not quite clean prior to my move-​in.
honestly, i’ve never rented from a property management company, and i haven’t been a renter in a verrrrry long time (the real estate market, don’t ya know…). but, so far, i have to say i’ve had a very positive experience. especially compared to another property management company/​person in the san lorenzo valley who shall remain nameless.
rentals in the san lorenzo valley are few and far between, especially good ones. do not hesitate to work with barbara if she is managing a rental you are interested in.

We found a property on Craiglist and set up an appointment, the initial viewing was good and all interaction with A+ after that has been wonderful. They have been extremely quick to fix any and all problems and have made fixing the small problems of moving in very easy. Kim has been excellent in helping us and we are looking forward to this experience and hope the service remains excellent!

Run and hide! Terrible property manager! Barbara is rude and condescending and never answers her phone.

I would advise anyone to never deal with this woman.
She does not answer her phone UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. You call her, then she will call you back at some of the most unreasonable hours (before 8am)
She told me and 3 others that we had been accepted for a rental, then 5 days later tells us she no longer want to rent the house to us. Imagine if we had put in our 30 days notice, we would have been homeless because of her.
She is extremely rude, and blames YOU for not answer calls/​playing phone tag when she never answers a single call.
I dont know how she would have been as a property manager, but she was an absolute nightmare to try and get a house from. We were nothing but polite and nice, but she talked to us like we were a bunch of idiot college kids. She has no people skills, and could potentially screw you over if she doesnt like something.
Do yourself a favor and DO NOT SUPPORT BUSINESSES LIKE THIS. She will jerk you around, like i said, she told us we had the house and could sign the lease. 4 days later out of the blue she says she no longer wants to rent to us because we dont communicate well enough with her. Even though she refuses to answer the phone ever, she sounded happy that she was letting us down. Extremely condescending when she told us we didnt have the house anymore too.
We are just college kids trying to rent a house for school, we have good grades, good credit, and parental guarantors, and she still treated us like shit.
