Acm Properties

When I was ready to sell my duplex in Silverlake, I called on Andrew again since he had helped me sell a house previously. With his advice, I prepared the house for sale and we put it on the market after Labor Day. The house sold in less than two weeks with multiple offers for a little over the asking price. Escrow proceeded pretty smoothly with one problem that was quickly resolved. Then began the search for another smaller house in a very competitive market. Andrew’s experience and knowlege of housing was invaluable in evaluation many properties before deciding to make an offer. We were outbid on a couple of houses before I found one that we moved on quickly. There was one other offer but we were able to prevail. However, once we had the inspection, there were numerous problems with the house and with Andrew’s help, we were able to negotiate a substantial reduction in price that will offset most of the repairs. I honestly could not have made this transition without Andrew’s help. His knowledge, responsiveness, advice, and willingness to say what he thinks all contributed to the success of the process. His knowlege of housing, legal issues, and many related areas gives you the confidence to move forward. i highly recommend him as an agent and a broker.

I was a tenant of ACM Properties trust (Andrew Maleski) for two years and wish I could give six stars! He was willing to work with some not-​so-​good credit scores and as a result I was able to live in an absolute dream of an apartment for two years.
We rarely had any issues come up, but in the rare instance that we needed something, the issue was solved either that same-​day or the next day if it wasn’t urgent. Additionally, if you ever have any questions, he either always answers his phone, or calls back very promptly. He’s also always reachable via e-​mail.
I once was locked out of my apartment (friend grabbed the wrong set of keys and left town!) with my roommate out of town and Mr. Maleski stopped what he was doing to help me get back into the apartment. He was also willing to work with changing names on the lease once we were on a month-​to-​month rental basis.
The only reason I am leaving said apartment is because I can no longer afford the rent, but while I was searching I asked Andrew if he had any properties because I wanted to continue working with him. I know that the next time I begin an apartment search I will be contacting ACM Properties first!
Best landlord experience I have ever had and I am sad to no longer be a tenant of theirs!

Andrew Maleski helped me purchase my home in Eagle Rock and he was fantastic! Andrew specializes in the Silver Lake, Echo Park, Highland Park, Mt. Washington and Eagle Rock areas. (He may specialized in more areas, please ask Andrew) If you are looking for a buyers or sellers agent, look no further, you have found your agent!
First a little background and a suggestion…
I always suggest working with a real estate agent for at least a month before committing to someone and NEVER sign an agreement to work with a real estate agent. If they are good and believe in the quality of their work they won’t ask you to sign a 6 month agreement. It’s simply ridiculous. You want to see how you work together in the home search process and in the actual bidding process.
Now my experience, I had two agents that did not work before finding Andrew. The first agent did not specialize in the area I was looking so I let him go. The second agent did not give me enough information and did not seem to have my best interests at heart. We also did not communicate well. Although we both spoke English, she did not communicate or explain things in a way that was helpful to me. I would also request various things in the bidding process and she would argue with me vs simply doing as I asked. She was also the one that requested I sign a contract before working with her. No thank you. I dropped her.
My third and final agent was Andrew! After speaking to him on the phone I got a sense of his professional values and I really felt they matched my own. The main value BE HONEST. If it is good news or bad news be honest so we know how to take the next step. He was always courteous, respectful, conscientious, efficient and knowledgeable. He always responded to phone calls and emails in a timely manner and always explained every situation in detail.
In regards to the home search, I was very aggressive in searching for homes in the MLS and Redfin. He would send me homes and I found homes myself. Whenever there was a home I wanted toured he was quick to get me in the home. During the tour, he was very honest and knowledgeable in going over the structure, electrical, plumbing, the neighborhood, and the overall quality of the home. If I was interested in making a bid on the home, he would provide comparisons (COMPS) of homes in the area. Comparisons helped me decide what to bid on the home.
Once we found the home of my dreams, he was efficient and diligent in getting the paperwork out to the seller. I loved the online docs and signatures we used. Very easy and efficient! Any questions or concerns I had he would explain in great detail, which is very important to me (bc I am very detail oriented person). And because of the Escrow process was not without bumps and delays (the fault of my lender), he was very good at explaining options and possible scenarios that really helped me make decisions and to keep my mind at ease. In regards to requesting credits and/​or extensions from the seller in the escrow process, Andrew did all these things without hesitation.
In conclusion, I feel Andrew Maleski always had my interests protected during the home buying process and I would recommend him to all my family, friends, professional colleagues and TO YOU (the reader of this review!). Call Andrew and have him represent you as buyer (or seller!) and know that you will be working with a professional that will get the job done!
Sincerely,

Having lived in an ACM-​managed property (a 2-​bedroom apartment) for three years, I have only WONDERFUL things to say about the company! Anytime we needed a repair, we contacted Andrew, the manager, and he sent out a handyman ASAP, typically the same day or the next day. I was SO impressed at how super-​fast the service was, especially since I’ve heard horror stories from friends about unresponsive landlords who never fix anything. My roommate and I feel very lucky that we’ve never had an experience like this and that we can count on ACM.
And a note about our property itself — since we’ve been here for three years (in an 8-​unit apartment building), we’re here when there’s turnover and an apartment goes up for rent. Andrew sends in a crew of construction guys for a solid two weeks to prepare the apartment for the new tenants to make sure the place is immaculate.
And finally, our apartment is in a great area of Los Feliz/​Silver Lake — walking distance to EVERYWHERE: 6 mins to Trader Joe’s, 15 mins to the library and yummy coffee shops, etc.
Recommended! Yeah!

Despite a sometimes raging temper out of the broker from time to time (usually to be intimidating or because he’s irritated at first), I do have to say that I really enjoyed ACM as my property management group. There was always someone onsite to help with repairs, the broker was understanding when I hit hard times a couple of months, and it’s much better than a large property management company. My repairs (except for one situation that was resolved the day after) were generally fixed the same day or next morning. And I learned that as long as I called a cell phone (NOT the office) my call was returned. Overall, I really enjoy the big picture of ACM.
