Foothills Properties Management & Realty

I am not one who normally takes the time to write reviewsI have recently been apprised of several negative reviews posted by disgruntled former tenants and owners of properties managed by Foothills Properties in Tucson, AZI feel compelled to write this review and shed some light on my experience with Foothills Properties
My experience with Foothills began in June, When I purchased a home in Tucson from a friendSince I do not live in Arizona and therefore was an absentee landlord, I needed a property managerSomeone referred me to *** ***, President of Foothills Properties*** met with me and my wife in our motel roomWe had an in depth discussion regarding Foothills' policies and procedures for managing propertiesWe immeiately felt very comfortable with turning our new home over to *** for managementFast forward to June We now own five properties in Tucson, all managed by Foothills PropertiesThree of these properties were purchased with ***'s recommendationShe acted as our agent for the transactions
Foothills Properties is neither biased toward tenant nor ownerWhen the tenant vacates the property at end of lease, the property is inspected by the property managerIn instances where damages or excessive wear and tear has been caused by the tenant, their security daposit is charged and the balance is refunded to themIf the property has experienced wear and tear, the tenant receives the bulk of the security deposit
Foothills Properties is very diligent about maintaining the condition of the properties that they manageThey respond quickly to any complaints by either tenant or landlordNecessary repairs are completed quicklyI am assessed the cost of any repairs unless the damages were caused by tenant negligence or malicious behavior; In this case, the tenant is charged for the cost of repairEach occurrence is judged on it's own meritI know since I have experienced my share of repair expenses
All properties are inspected regularly and Foothills Properties suggests maintenance to ensure that properties are kept in perfect condition
The sum of my experience is that I am totally pleased with Foothills Properties as my management company
