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.

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

HORRIBLE response record. I've been trying to contact them since October 2020 about approval process for needed repairs. ABSOLUTELY NO RESPONSE and it's now 5/13/2021!! If I could give zero stars, I would! They used to be better than this. I've lived in same location for 21 years.
EDIT: a few days after I wrote this and after another email exchange, I FINALLY heard from a new representative for my HOA. She was more responsive.

Don’t try to rent from this company. They showed us a place that appeared clean, said that this place was newly remodeled, my mom and sister just saw the property today and it was absolutely disgusting, there was crumbs everywhere, ink spills, the fence was ruined. This was not a remodel as they had advertised, and its 10 days before we move in. I called in to their office just now when they should be open, but I was pushed to voicemail. I am not going to try calling again. Save your money and go somewhere else.

Be sure to take pictures before moving into a rental unit managed by this place. Bell Anderson will likely blame you for any problems with the unit upon move out, despite the problems being listed on the initial walkthrough sheet.
Bell Anderson tried to claim that we caused damage to the blinds and left the counters dirty. The owners were slobs who left duct tape marks on the window frames, soiled carpet, a nonfunctional rear porch light socket, and chipped and missing blinds.

Bell Anderson is such a rip off. Surely there are better condo management companies available. They give you no help, even for the simplest tasks such as filling out a simple form showing account t status. They charge $100 thru HomeWise docs for a five minute job. Don't hire them. Check reviews and find a better company.

Overall, a poor experience. Communication with Margene was poor. We never got a single phone call from here until we were a few days late on our last payment. We gave her almost 60 days notice that we wished to leave early. They waited as long as possible NOT to advertise.
We paid for a full month at the end and left 3 weeks early. We left it in great condition, cleaned carpets, etc.
We were Nickle and dimed on our security deposit and charged outrageous amounts.
Don't expect a relationship and make them fix everything. Check out all the other horrible reviews!!!

This is the worst property management company I've had the displeasure of dealing with. I'm a good tenant that pays her rent on time and doesn't cause any ruckus and I was threatened twice on having to pay for something that wasn't my fault. Kasey Medina treats people like they are so beneath her and I guess she gets away with terrible sense of customer service or lack thereof because her family owns the business? I've never been treated by anyone ever let alone someone who I was giving money to every month. I loved my apt and wanted to stay but the stress these people

This company is shady!!! They mismanaged our HOA funds, didn't abide by the RCWs/State Law and misappropriated our HOA funds. They were freely writing checks to the builder and the builder's personal attorney for matters unrelated to our HOA. This company is straight ghetto and highly unprofessional. The good reviews about this company are fake. Run HOAs as far away from this company as possible. They resigned from managing our HOA because they knew they would be facing a lawsuit that the builder is now facing for the issues we brought to their attention about the financial misappropriation

HELL NO. First, I wish I could understand the strong Russian dialect a little better. Next, THEY ARE USELESS. Constant issues with overdrawing, then sending late fee notices, then not being able to understand what they're saying (Russian dialect)...then not being able to log into the account MULTIPLE times, having to change my password every time in order to correct the overdrawing/late fee situation, then calling back Russian lady repeatedly, only for her to get sick of me and tell me there's NOTHING they can do to help me log in online when I'm having the SAME problems I&apos

DO NOT associate yourselves with this company. From a renters perspective it was the worst experience I have ever had. They are only interested in the sale and not the consumer. Maria was the person who helped me and was extremely unprofessional. She ended up renting out the location we had vested in and agreed to move-in, from right under our feet. After already having paid for and filling out the application process and also having my deposit in hand. All I receive is a brief e-mail saying "sorry its been filled" as I was on my way to their location in Kent to leave my cashiers check

Bell Anderson has been working in the area for as long as I can recall and I have had multiple opportunities to refer their services to clients of mine over the years as well as having them advise and assist with my own rental properties. This team of professionals is able to make the role of Landlord a more rewarding and less stressful experience. I highly recommend their services.

I was concerned because I knew that my HOA dues were coming up and I still hadn't received the bill so when I called to check on it, I was told that they were sent out weeks and I should have gotten it by now and my payment would be considered late because it was my fault I hadn't gotten the invoice.

I did notice that all the other negative reviews were not recommended! That is a little scary to be honest. I wish I had seen them before dealing with this company. The biggest complaint is the rude rude did I say rude employees! One in particular that shall remain nameless.

Bell Anderson has managed our Federal Way property for the last 5 years. Their service has always been professional, timely, knowledgeable, and courteous. The property manager has gone above and beyond researching options for us. This is particularly helpful since we do not live nearby. We own property in another state, managed by a succession of firms that have failed to provide service that can compare to Bell Anderson. We have recommended Bell Anderson to another property owner who has also been very happy with the service.
Bell Anderson has also consistently delighted our tenants.

They are not the first management office we have used, but certainly they are the best. We have had absolutely no complaints in how they have served us, and can only thank them for their professional and efficiant manner in meeting each and every need and request.

First and foremost, I will warn you, this is not a happy review. Bell-Anderson is our HOA property manager for our town home community in Kent. We have owned a home in the community for 5 and a half years. When we first moved in, being new to HOA's, we did get a letter or two regarding non-compliance issues. The first one was when we installed a window A/C unit and put up (I know...it's tacky, we were young, bear with me) a board to cover the rest of the window. We received a letter telling us to "remove the shelf that it was sitting on". Strike one - obviously the issue was

Dawn Hardley at Bell Anderson is the one you want to deal with here. She guided me so well through the confusion and fear of renting my house. She answered my calls right away, calmed me down when things did not seem to be going right, and was so optimistic. Then when I needed a lock smith as soon as possible, or anything that I forgot to do and needed as soon as possible, she was on it. She met with me and my tenant at late hours. She went the extra mile and then some. She raises the bar as far as property management. Just call her. You will save yourself so much energy, time and money
