Report
I previously reviewed Dwellings and gave and gave them 5 stars. That was in 2017/2018. I am not sure what transpired in the past year, but Dwellings completely went from great to awful. They ghosted us a months prior to the last lease ending. We were unable to get any returned phone calls, emails, and texts. All remained unanswered by Roland Gonzales (and still do). To our astonishment, they even locked us out of parts our property. We had to hire a locksmith to get inside a garage. We terminated our contract with them via registered letter as their office appeared unoccupied. They did not complete

I wish this could be a better review. This company was excellent to begin with. Delivery on the product sold was great, and my wife and I were so happy to have them on our team. And then it wasn't. Things were moving along per usual and when it came time for new tenants, they just disappeared. Three years in and then nothing. Over a month of trying to get a hold of someone with no response. I understand that Covid rippled into myriad staffing issues, complications, etc. for everyone but someone is on the payroll, right? And someone is supposed to be accountable, right? One email with

They don't seemed to be staffed well enough to handle the volume of work. The rental has been vacant for a month now without any sign of bringing it on the market. On top of it, they do not communicate at all - there is no email, no phone call on what is happening with the rental or when it would be on the market. The lack of communication is most troubling. Even a simple "We are drowning and will get to your rental in XX days" would have been nice. On top of it, they charge extra for repairs or service (such as painting, plumbing, etc) - far more than what others would charge for

A renter liking their property management company seems pretty rare these days, but our experience with Dwellings has been fantastic! For three years, they treated us kindly, professionally, and respectfully. The home we were renting was kept in tip-top shape, and everyone at Dwellings was excellent when it came to flexibility and communication. From a renter's perspective, we had an unusually excellent experience; Roland and the entire team were top notch!

We worked with Dwellings Seattle to manage our townhouse two years ago. Roland and the whole Dwellings Seattle team were fantastic to work with. On his initial walkthrough, Roland's feedback was detailed and helpful. We took all his advice for updates to the home and everything looked perfect. Dwellings Seattle was able to rent our home for more than we thought we could get, our tenants are happy, and we don't even have to think about the property because the Dwellings Seattle team takes care of everything for us. I could not be happier and wholeheartedly recommend Dwellings Seattle.

We decided to rent out our home when a job update relocated our little family. We picked Dwellings after doing extensive research and it was one of the best decisions we've ever made. The Dwellings team has been top notch from start to finish - everything from inspections and maintenance, prompt attention to renters' issues and clear communication and expectation setting for us as owners. The home has been so well looked after these last few years, we felt very confident in the trust we placed in their hands. THANK YOU to Roland and our home team for being such excellent stewards of our property

When I had decided to put my house in the market for rental,I had interviewed several property management company.I ended up with Dwelling Seattle after talking to their CEO, Roland. He had gave me a good suggestions of things to fix/upgrade that would bring my property to the highest rent per square foot.He was very confident that Dwelling Seattle could find me a good tenant as soon as my property was ready. His team worked diligently and professionally to get my property ready. Sure enough, Roland kept his promise, my property got rented out in a week after it was in the market. It happened
