Mission Center Properties

Rented from this company and had the worst experience with the repairs and the hired help. Took off safety feature in water heater so it would start. Had to get SDGE out to red tag before it was properly fixed. Then we had water damage after a storm, I was fearful that the same people would do repairs and feared mold. Expressed concerns with Realtor Jim who even started owner didn’t want to spend any money. My children’s health became the issue. No empathy on situation and even received several threats when we held rent in order to move out. Even though there was a $ 2500 deposit. Not a renter friendly company. Had to hire an attorney and even after settling realtor held on to checks and then dinged credit even though we moved out on the 12^th and paid back rent. Had three different service men over for different reason ranging from water heater to electric and then the mold. We also had an unsafe chimney that we luckily knew to get cleaned and they stated not to use its a fire hazard. No working air conditioning. Electric system kept shorting and termites as well as rotted window sills. Blinds we thought at first were yellow were in fact old and discolored. This company is not in the business for finding homes but making owners happy and that includes even neglect and poor management. One of the plumbers that came over to fix sink came over with his girlfriend who was wearing house slippers and he had no tools with him. He asked to borrow tools. A month later Someone tried to break into our garage and my teenage daughter was home and luckily the dog next door and neighbor next door scared them away. When I spoke with Jim after he informed me that that handyman is no longer working for him. The next handyman he sent told me off record that he didn’t think Jim would spend the money. And that a lot of the properties he works on are in poor condition. These are all facts and true to the best of my ability and I would not recommend renting from them

Mission Center Realty has served me well for a few years now. I’m not sure why my first review was filtered out, but everything I said is true. This realtor is very knowledgeable about the mission valley, mission hills, hillcrest, city heights, and university heights areas. I use MCR for my property management on my condo and the team is very professional and reliable.

Jim Schlesinger was one of several property managers I met with when I first decided to rent out my home. Before I met him, I was certain the large/​corporate company would be a better fit for me, but I was wrong. Jim is a hands-​on manager and I could tell he really cares about finding the right tenants and keeping my costs down. He is organized, efficient and the EOY tax statements he provides are great. If it weren’t for the check I have been getting in the mail each month for the past four years, I would forget I even owned a rental property (knocking on wood now)…
