Coast Management

Coast Management is so disorganized, they can’t even manage their own staff — let alone an off-​site property. They can’t even bother to return phone calls. I guess you get what you pay for — cheap service from morons! If looking for an agency to manage your properties, I’d keep it moving to the next name on the list — you almost have to try to be worse!

Complaint Against Coast Management — Page 2
By August 2015, I was able to Sell The Condominium, but NOT without paying them their Extorted and Illegal $ 2,000.00.
Let me please explain to You how I went from owing them $ 7,500.00 down to $ 2,000.00.
Throughout the years the three (3) Board Of Directors (Carlos, Jen and Jim) have been Harassing ME for Money and Complaining about everything and anything via mail and email as I had stated to You before from the previous page and they also kept on Making Up Amounts Of Money Going From One Amount To Another That They Believed That I Owed Them for doing absolutely Nothing Wrong!
Furthermore, from the Very Last Hearing that my Attorney Gross had attended, he was able to get these Three (3) Board Of Directors/​Extorters/​Criminals to Lower Their Illegal Fine from $ 7,500.00 down to $ 5,000.00.
I still did NOT agree with this amount at all (Since It Was All Made Up) and should NOT have had to pay a single dime for their Extortion, however, I did NOT give Up!
Please NOTE: Just shortly before I was getting ready to sell my Condominium, I was told by my real estate agent that in order to get My Money from the Sale Of The Condominium that Coast Management wants their Illegal Extorted Money as well!
In order for ME to get paid, Coast Management MUST get Paid First through the Escrow Company used which Sucked, but that was the Very Sick Reality!
At that time as I had stated, they wanted $ 5,000.00 after my Attorney Gross had attended that hearing as stated earlier in my letter and what I did to even lower it further was to contact the
Los Angeles City Attorney Dispute Resolution Program located at:
220 North Spring Street Floor #14 90 012 (213) 978‑1880 and through their office they have Volunteer Mediators who help people and businesses solve Disputes through Mediation.
I honestly was very fearful of going through with this process, but I thought in my circumstances that this was the best remedy that I could partake in.
I worked with about three (3) different mediators going back and forth with and through Carolyn S., the Property Manager at that time and I had to write many, many letters to explain myself, my position and my circumstances as to Why I do Not Deserve To Pay Them $ 5,000.00 dollars.
Through the mediation, they were able to lower it from $ 5,000.00 down to $ 3,500.00 and even with this amount, I still Disagreed in paying it since it was Unfair, Bogus, Extorted, Illegal and Dirty Money that they want ME to fork over for Nothing!
I decided to Continue again with more in-​depth mediation and through more hefty communication back and forth through the same people and channels, I was able to further Mediate and get that Bogus Fine to go down Even More from $ 3,500.00 to $ 2,000.00 dollars.
Sadly, I was still Not Happy with this Balance Owed and therefore talked to my mediator again about getting them to lower it even more, but the Unfortunate Reality is that these Three (3) Unpaid Board Of Directors (Carlos, Jen and Jim) were Very Hungry And Starved For This Money and they would NOT mediate and/​or negotiate any more through Carolyn S., their hired Property Manager from Coast Management.
I was therefore stuck with the $ 2,000.00 balance which is better than paying them $ 7,500.00, I Guess and through the Sale Of My Condominium, they Got Their Extorted $ 2,000.00 Dollars First and then I Got The Proceeds From That which was still okay because I still walked away with a Fair Profit, however, they NEVER DESERVED THIS $ 2,000.00 DOLLARS, EVER!
May I also point out that Carolyn S., Property Manager from Coast Management NEVER LEFT ME ALONE as well, because about two weeks before my condominium was finally sold and I was out of there, I Had Put Up Paper Taped To The Inside Of My Bedroom Windows since all of my curtains and rods were NOT there anymore because during the renovation process, they were all removed by the contractor and then the whole room was freshly painted for the New Owners and I therefore needed something to cover them up so that the neighbors would NOT see me naked and/​or see me change.
Sadly, Carolyn S, Property Manager from Coast Management got upset at what I had done which was NONE of her business which had nothing to do with her, however, she made it her business and decided to email ME a letter asking ME to take all of the paper down and made out the False Claim that I was violating their CC&R Rules with regards to what can go on the inside of my windows as well!
Can You Believe It? I had to go to my bathroom to change until I was finally out of there! What an Inconvenience, but Whatever!
In any case, I was at a Loss Financially, Emotionally, etc.
I am just so glad to be out of there and will Sue them for my $ 2,000.00 back!

Do Not Buy A Condominium!

Coast manages rental property much better than most other companies. They don’t put up with any nonsense from renters who often try use the legal system to take advantage of landlords. Not with this company though. Coast knows the law and they know how to use it. Also very responsive. Highly recommend.

First of all, I think these other allegations are nonsense — probably written by the loser type of homeowner that can never be satisfied with anything. We’ve been using Coast for many years. The prior management company was a complete disaster, so we hired Coast in 2007 because they do everything by the book, and they have a STRONG legal background. They’re as professional as you can get, and they’re tough! We turned a nightmare of a complex into a decent place to live, because Coast helped us get tough on VIOLATORS that had kept our property values down. They have a TEAM of legal experts and they have everything you will ever need. Their accounting is proper, everything is on the books and done the way it’s supposed to be done. Our property manager handles all paperwork and she is THOROUGH. These other single star reviews are gibberish — people just trying to lash out at a company, out of anger and lack of intellect. No complex is perfect, but you can’t blame the management company for everything that goes on in a HUGE complex. Thank god we have a real management company that does things by the book — everything from violation letters, properly conducted meetings, collections, thorough documentation, legal advice anytime you need it, and a LOT MORE. We’ve collected tens of thousands of dollars (or more) in homeowner late fees because their legal team knows how to crack down on delinquency — even after the violators had moved out and tried to stiff us. This is a GREAT company and I’m grateful for all they have done.

They charge to much for HOA documents.

LOVE these ladies at Coast! My escrow closed sooo quick and efficiently! Would recommend to anyone that lives in an HOA in So Cal. :)

AVOID AT ALL COSTS! Coast management attempts to run my complex. We’ve had nothing but problems. When I bought my unit, we tried to get a hold of them and it took them 3 weeks to get back to us. They were incorrect about the laws and tried charging us thousands of dollars. Once living here things only got worse. Multiple emails and certified letters were sent to their office requesting that health and safety issue be resolved. April, the complex manager, denied receiving our letters. We showed the HOA board a signature, which she denied was hers and said it doesn’t mean she saw the letter.
They also outsource their accounting, so if you hand deliver a check to them, they will «receiving» it 3-​days later, meaning you’re late on a payment and have to get that cleared up (which at their speed could be a month or two)
Communication got slightly better, but it’s still like pulling teeth trying to get them to do anything.
Recently it has gone back to the usual. When we have serious issues in our unit, it can take a month and ~10 emails before they do anything. It’s absolutely unacceptable, especially when you pay over $ 300/​month.
Avoid at all costs!
