We recently had to terminate our services with a different property management company (and associates) in Santa Maria who had managed our rental property. I interviewed Tami at Advantage Property Management and knew immediately I would be in good hands. The service we have received has exceeded our expectations. She went above and beyond while the property was in construction. She helped me with getting contractors to the house and ensured the job was done correctly. She's managed the property so well and has taken the headache out of being a property owner. I highly recommend their services,

We rented A house from this company for 3 1/2 years. Very responsive to all your concerns or needs. Quick to respond as well. Renting with them was very simple and they know their stuff. Walk-through went well even with difficult owner because of Tamis professionalism. (Highly recommend working with her) If we ever move back to the area we will be renting from them again.

Stay away from this property management, I rented a property in Santa Maria for 2 and a half years. I paid a security deposit of 2000 dollars, when I moved out on 24 January 2020 I asked Tammy who did my walk out inspection how long it took to get my deposit back in which she replied 21 days legally.... it’s been 60 days and I haven’t received my deposit or explanation of deductions after the owner did his own inspection of the house without me being present. This sounds SO illegal in which I have already sought out legal assistance and will be taking action, this is not a way to treat people

First and foremost let me start out by saying we are very great full to have found a place we can rent. But soon realized how much trouble it would be to, one get help with whatever we needed fixed. First full winter we had the heater break and didn’t get it fixed for about almost a year! Not having a heater in a place that’s always cold was horrible specially cuz I had my 2 kids ages 9 n 5 living there! Then after living there for that year and shampooing the rug at our own cost the rug was not light brown but pink!! We had birds living in the craw space of the house up on top. And a lot of

Advantage Property Management's team of Tami Skropits, property manager and her assistant, Jenn Rhule are a very professional, courteous, competent and caring group. They were very responsive in securing a new home for our family to lease. And they continued to provide us with the same good service over these past three years.
Unfortunately we needed to relocate and will be leaving the area but we want to thank Tami and Jenn for the years of caring and service they have provided us at this nice home.

I'm so lucky to be working with Advantage Property Management. Russ and Michelle have relieved so much stress and anxiety for me. Being a first-time house owner and now landlord, I didn't know what to expect or even what I needed. So grateful for their expertise, professionalism, and care. I'd definitely recommend their services to friends!

When I first moved to California, I rented with Advantage Property and they were absolutely amazing. I never had any problems whatsoever and their service was excellent. Tami is a gem to work with and couldn’t have made my move or stay an better. I highly recommend their services for any property management needs.

I HIGHLY recommend Advantage Property Management!! Tami and Jenn run a very professional business. They are attentive, warm, and always friendly. Mom and I felt like we were moving into a home and not renting a house. They let us be a part of decision making and heard our inputs on paint, yard landscaping ideas and looked into possible improvements for us with the owner. When things needed to be fixed they were right on it with their contractors, who are very nice and professional as well. Mom and I couldn’t have asked for a better rental relationship then what we have with Tami and Jenn –
