Karpe Real Estate Management can be described this way…Ultimate Professionals! As a real estate broker and investor in Bakersfield for over 30 years, I have not worked with a more qualified property management company. Karpe Real Estate Management has managed the family portfolio for over 20 years. Karpe Real Estate Management is the only property management company that I would refer to any landlord. Susan Garcia, Stephanie Salazar and the team are knowledgeable, resourceful and responsive. They have an understanding of market conditions and are able to translate the knowledge into action. In

Thea is very unprofessional and does not care about her tenants. They made us wait months to have things fixed in the house that was not our fault and some things were never fixed in the two years of living there. We always paid our rent on time and had so many issues with Karpe. When we moved out the company took out whole security deposit to fix things that were broke or messed up prior to us moving in. We had to file a dispute and even then we didn’t even get a third of it back. I would not recommend renting from Karpe. Save your time, money and patience and go with another company.

Liz is very kind and knowledgeable. Even though she is very busy she answers all my questions and takes the time to go above and beyond. She is honest and will be straight up with you that way there is no suprises later on. Thank you guys for helping and being kind in the process of looking for a rental.

Great company and customer service. They have consistently rented my condos to quality tenants. Susan, Thea, and Stephanie have always taken care of both my valuable tenants and me, the owner, with high quality service. Great communication. This company tries hard to provide quality service.

Several of my Investor Clients have used Susan Garcia's services in regards to Property management and have given her rave reviews.
I have been told that her professionalism and in depth knowledge of the industry guidelines are of great importance especially for the novice just starting an Investment Portfolio and as well for the seasoned owner deciding to alleviate the daily headaches of property management.

My car windows were broken while parked in the street in front of the home we are renting since the house has no garage. I offered to share the cost of installing a sliding gate in the back yard so I can park safely inside the property. Stephanie expressed no sympathy and said the owner wasn’t interested in spending any money on this request. I have a 3-yr old daughter and our safety was of no concern. The sprinklers don’t work so I told Stephanie I shut them off because they’re wasting water. Stephanie had the gardeners turn the sprinklers back on and apparently they ran for over 4-hrs.

I can't say enough good about Karpe Real Estate! They were our saving grace when a different real estate company misled us and put us in a bind. From the moment I called and spoke to Liz regarding a property listing through them she was very professional and attentive to our needs. She knew we had very short time to be out of our current residence since the previous company We were going to do business through misled us and at the very last minute said they wouldn't rent the property to us. We were able to go view the properly immediately and start the application process. They even called the
