What Our Clients Are Saying

The best. Period.

Sandra and D&M were fantastic in helping us get settled into what was supposed to be our fully furnished rental. Only problem is that the owners had a different opinion of what that meant. Sandra was very responsive and fair in taking care of the issues and was extremely helpful in getting us settled. Sandra is the sole reason why we didn't break our lease. Any time that we had a question about something, Sandra responded within a few hours. She was on it. She is the best. Period.”

Hands-down the best property management company in San Diego. I went through 5-10 other companies for my Duplex in San Diego and finally found one that I stuck with - D&M. Angie has an organized accounting system and she responded promptly with an questions I had relating to my owner's statements. Lisa was my agent and she went above-and-beyond in making sure my property was taken care of. She got multiple quotes for repairs, helped me with problem-tenants, and tackled any issue that arose with my property. Strongly recommended!

Splendid experience.

My family and I have lived in a rental for 7 1/2 years Working with Angie Durbin was a splendid experience. I'm really sad to have to move to a house closer towards town. Angie is very reliable and easy to talk to, And has went over and beyond for us. Thank Angie for always being nice and treating us as valued tenants. We will miss you.”

Prompt customer service!

“After running the show myself for years, I was badly in need of a management company. I decided to call D&M one fine day (amongst many others). From the get go, I had a positive vibe with the manager, Lisa. She is one of other managers. Her response times are amazing. Even though they are very busy with accounts, and well established, I always received quick response from Lisa. Responding to emails, text and phone or returning calls back within a day - that is customer service! Right from marketing to showings to the application process and to move-in, Lisa stayed active and rented out quite fast. Around the time of move-in, D&M did inspection and took 100s of pictures and documented the condition which is good for both landlord and tenants. Plus they have a lot of reasonably-priced connections for upkeep (mold experts, handyman, plumber etc); that area has been a real challenge for me over the years. I can't say how happy I am with them now. Management fees are very reasonable and it is worth every penny! Glad I found D&M”

Great communication!

“My family and I rented a short-term rental when we initially moved to San Diego from Chicago. Sandra Chavez was our property manager. My husband had an easy time communicating with Sandra during the first steps of the rental process (he and our dog were here before the rest of the family) and enjoyed her professionalism. After the kids and I arrived, I found her very easy to work with as well. Any issues that arose were addressed quickly and responses to any questions, emails, or texts were quick. I also really appreciated D&M's portal in order to be able to pay rent online (something I'm not able to do with our current landlord). When it came time to leave the property, Sandra was very helpful with suggestions for more permanent rental opportunities as well as vendors to perform final carpet cleanings, etc. I would happily work with D&M, and especially, Sandra again!”

Outstanding

“Sandra and Mari have been with me for 1 year now and have provided everything I need to make my rental property run smoothly. They are quick to respond whether it be phone, text, e-mail. I highly recommend. They have made things so easy for me. Wish I would have discovered them sooner.”

Very professional, responsive and friendly!

“We’ve been very pleased with the services provided by D&M. They look after every aspect of renting our property from advertising, vetting prospective renters, collecting rent payments and responding to renter issues and requests. We wouldn’t rent out our house if we didn’t have this kind of professional oversight of the property and renters. Thanks!”

Kissing a toad was worth it, to find THIS prince!

“As a first time ‘landlord’ renting out our single family home, we went with a ‘well-known’ company figuring they could guide us through unfamiliar territory. It was a nightmare (their property management fee was 8% of rent price, and then there were extra fees for EVERYTHING else…I often joked that the 8% we were paying them only covered them figuring out what 8% of the rent comes out to, because there was nothing else covered by that fee; an example: 10% fee to arrange any work on the property, even though they would not actually go there and babysit the work if the tenant could not be home, it was literally 10% just to arrange repair work!).
BUT, if I hadn’t had that awful experience, I might not have known how wonderful D&M is (especially Sandra)! Their property management agreement is very transparent and not full of hidden charges and sneaky clauses. Sandra is super-responsive and I finally feel like my property manager has my interests in mind when she gives advice. Better yet, my tenant seems to like her as well. She arranges qualified maintenance workers to bid and fix things in a timely manner, with good communication and a reasonable prices for subcontractors (and no 10% fee to ‘arrange’ it either). D&M finally allows me to get back to my other life instead of having to manage my property manager, as was the case with the previous company I used. D&M’s property management fees are extremely reasonable and that’s it…no fees for arranging maintenance work, no fees to send out 1099s, etc., no fees period. I know exactly what I’m getting and Sandra handles it all quickly and efficiently.

Can’t say enough nice thing about my experience so far.”

Five Star

“D&M Management has taken care of our rental properties for a little over two years now. Angie, is always available to assist with any problems we may have. The entire staff at D&M Management are attentive and very professional. I have and will continue to recommend them to family and friends. They are hands down the best property management company we have used.”

~ James Gallenberger


“Using D&M Realty and Management to sell my condo was the best possible decision I could have made. D&M Realty and Management managed my home in Scripps Ranch for two years before I decided to sell, so they were able to work with the tenants to ensure all parties involved were not inconvenienced while the condo was on the market. This resulted in a smooth process from start to finish. I am extremely happy with their professionalism and responsiveness. I am also very pleased with the price it sold at and the peace of mind knowing that D&M represented my interest as I was outside of the United States throughout the entire process. I can confidently recommend D&M Realty and Management to both manage and sell homes. Thank you Angie and Sandra for a job well done!”

“Sandra Chavez is fantastic! If I could give 6 stars, I would. She has responded to my emails and phone calls from her vacation. Sandra found me great tenants and really makes it so I don’t have to worry about my place in San Diego.
D&M has a very reasonable fee structure. They make sure any repairs are spelled out and bid to several contractors. I really can’t say enough about how great these guys are :)”

“Angie Durbin is the best in my book. Hardworking, reliable, and always available when you need her to be.”

~ Lee S., San Diego, California


“Angie Durbin listed my townhouse for rent and she was such a pleasure to work with. She went above and beyond my expectations and found great tenants quickly. I was referred to her by a friend who also gave Angie a high recommendation. Thank you Angie for helping me and making the process very smooth!

~ Linda D., San Diego, CA


“I am in the Military and had to move duty stations. I decided to rent my home out and contacted D & M management to get more info on how property management works. They are great! My property manager takes care of everything. She found a quality tenant very quickly, and obtained excellent rates on contract work to improve the home. I don’t have to do any paperwork or deal with tenant issues, D & M does all of that for me. What’s even better, the rent money goes straight into my account, they will even pay the mortgage for you from the rent money if you want! Absolutely stress free. Very low cost, very friendly, and very professional. Highly recommended.”

~ Jacob L. Seaside, CA


Top notch tenant and landlord service. D&M bailed me and my tenants out of a bad relationship with a prior property manager. Consistently kept me informed and remained very responsive. Never had to wait more than a couple of hours for a response. Fees were very reasonable. The staff would get personally involved in resolving any issues that developed
