Services
Just being able to pay the rent is not enough. Mahoney Davison Co. relies on targeted advertising, thorough checking of references, income verification, credit reports and personal interviewing to ensure the best selection of reliable, responsible, appropriate tenants. Regular maintenance and prompt repairs are essential to top-notch property management.
I have had the pleasure of working with Kerry and team for about six years. I live 500 miles away from the properties. I need someone trustworthy and reliable. Mahoney Davison has been a blessing and invaluable partner. They always keep me informed of the status of the rentals; we receive periodic reports and updates as needed.

Wow, after reading all the reviews my experience is just further validated. Extremely unprofessional, rude, and zero business ethics. I inquired for services a couple months ago and Kerry Davison tried to work around me and take advantage of my father who had recently had a massive stroke. My father is the property owner but I make all decisions regarding the property and she rushed him into signing a contract without giving me any update on the situation whatsoever--she went completely behind my back.
She then further belittled my father who once again, had a massive stroke only a couple months

They gave us the impression we had the house we applied for that allows dogs. Then after a month of waiting we we're told someone with higher income got it. Then a few weeks later we saw the house back on the market but now without dogs being allowed. We contacted them and they didn't even offer to search for another house for us and acted annoyed when I asked them to.
Update***They kept our deposit and our application fees as well!

I am writing anonymously of course. Moving out was not any better. For example, the house was not clean at all when we moved in. Dirty windows, cobwebs inside and out, bathrooms not cleaned. Kitchen greasy and grimey. Gross. Also one shower did not have a shower head so I had to run out and get my own. We made note of all this on our move-in checklist. There was no refrigerator either (which I understand is not required by law, but
Come on, really?) There was a drainage issue in the backyard which made it flood when it rained then it would become a mud bog and half the yard was unusable. The list

A lovely team of people helping you have a decent rental! Being a renter can be the pits! I have worked with more than 5 rental companies in Sonoma County over the last 18 years of renting here and Mahoney Davison is by far the most responsive, responsible, and good group of women that I have had the pleasure to work with.
They all work together to make sure your needs are met, as well as having an assigned person to your rental so make sure nothing falls through the cracks. Happy renting!

I rented from Mahoney Davison for 9 years and every experience with their staff was respectful and professional. As soon as I reported issues with my rental or surrounding property, Mahoney Davison contacted solid local companies to come out and help me immediately. In addition to how responsive MD was, I also had the lowest rent of anyone I knew in Petaluma! The quality of the rental was very high and the building was regularly maintained. In the time I was there, the parking lot was repaved, the stairs and deck were rebuilt, the outdoor lighting was replaced, my building was stuccoed and painted

We have had a great experience with Mahoney Davison. They made our house hunt so simple! They are so quick to respond to all of our emails, friendly staff and just a great overall customer service experience. We highly recommend them for your house searching needs. If you don't like a spot you find off the bat- they will support you in sending you in the right direction until you do!

The people really make the difference at Mahoney Davidson. I rented a house from them and everything went super smooth from move in to the move out. Korin was our main point of contact and she is communicative and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend them for anyone looking for a nice rental house or a property management team. Thanks y'all!

I rented from MD for six years. By far and away the worst, most unfriendly group I have ever had to rent from. I am shocked to see a few reviews of people raving of how friendly they are. You get the vibe from the very first meeting they work for the landlord. Which, having been a landlord and owning my own home before moving here, you never want to treat a tenant like they are a paycheck. While issues at the home where attended too fairly promptly, just the notion having have to talk with MD staff, namely the owner Carrie, made the experience so unpleasant. I LOVE my landlords now (humans!! Treating

Incredibly unprofessional and disingenuous. These slime balls led my wife on for weeks about a property, had us jump through hoops for a simple rental and then after all that, and even writing a cover letter, they didn't have the most basic courtesy to be up front and honest with us about the situation. My wife and I are both nurses and both from multi generational Petaluma families. Obviously this company does not hold any value in keeping local healthcare professionals here in their community. Super disrespectful.

The staff at Mahoney Davison were very responsive, friendly, and knowledgeable! They replied to our rental inquiries quickly, arranged for a viewing for the next day, and followed COVID public safety protocols professionally. The application process was also clear and easy.
In contrast, other property management companies we reached out to were slow to respond (if they ever did), had unclear policies, and poorly maintained websites.
Looking forward to working with Mahoney Davison- Thank you!

We lost our Santa Rosa home in the 2017 fires and were desperately looking for a new place to live. We came across Mahoney Davison properties and so glad that we did. Jill at Mahoney found us a rental to reside in almost immediately. We lived there for 3 years until we found our forever home. All the girls at Mahoney were super helpful whenever we needed anything, from our water heater pilot light going out, a raccoon in the backyard or minor stove repair. They always had someone there asap to fix it. Not to say that there was anything wrong with the house because it was beautiful, clean and well

I rented a property through Mahoney a year and a half ago. Sarah could not have been nicer or more helpful. I was really excited to have found a property so close to downtown and it served its purpose for awhile. I started having quite a few problems a few months in, including a plumbing issue and a gas leak. It wasn't Mahoney's fault though, they were always very quick to get someone to address the issues and I do believe this is an issue with many of the old historic homes that have been broken up into multiple units. I am writing this review with 4 stars though to praise the employees

WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! If I could give negative stars I would. Giving this sham of a company one star seems like a highlight for them.
Little bit of a background. I've been renting here in Sonoma County since 2009 and have never run into a property management company as terrible as this one.
We rented from Mahoney Davison for almost 4 years. The property that we rented was extremely outdated but we lived in peace there never created an issue unless there was something wrong with the plumbing or a mold issue etc. By the way we passed all of our yearly inspections without hearing anything

I am extremely disappointed with this company. I had an appointment on November 5that 1PM to view a property for rent. I received a phone call from Amy asking if we could move the appointment to a later time because it would run into her lunch. I get it, people need to eat so I was willing to reschedule it. I viewed the property and it wasn't exactly what I was looking for so Amy advised me to go onto their website and look at a few properties that may better fit my needs. I called her back the same day to schedule an appointment, she told me she was available to show me the property November

I had a terrible experience with Mahoney Davison which began to border on what felt like harassment of me and my senior disabled mother.
My experience with Kerry, in particular, has led me to write this review. I found Kerry to be rude, unprofessional, unkind, and misleading to the point of dishonesty, for example, claiming she hadn't received emails which I then had to forward to her to show she'd received them.
Mahoney Davison tried to bully funds from me to make repairs to the property which existed when I moved in. Fortunately, I remembered that their website marketing photos showed

This company has been managing the property I rent for 4 years now and I have nothing but good things to say. Jill Glover is the manager responsible for the particular home I rent and has been extremely diligent in handling my requests or concerns! I would recommend anybody looking for housing in the area to give the Mahoney properties a look.

Here is the honest truth...
Upon first interaction, Mahoney Davison and I got off on the wrong foot when we started a year ago. They are incredibly picky about who they rent to and that includes previous bankruptcies. Be prepared to explain your why's and when's.
After a year of renting through them, working closely with Eileen and Kerry, we turned our relationship around and what I found was a company that really does a great job both managing their rentals and taking care of their property owners. Our house had been 'flipped' just before we moved in and WOW was there all
