Report
Jonathan has been managing our property in the San Fernando Valley for nearly 3 years, and it's hard to imagine how he could be doing a better job. He communicates regularly with us and responds quickly to inquiries. He provides great advice and guidance but is also willing to listen to, and understand, our perspective and goals. Jonathan is thorough with his work and always ensures we are aware of, and engaged on, decisions regarding both the property and tenants. Just a great person to do business with. Thanks!

Report
Bad experience here. Met and toured the unit which was fine. Called multiple times afterwards with no response. Applied to get a response. He let us know a few days later it was under review. A week later told us we were now in consideration against other renters. Poor communication. Look elsewhere

Be aware of this SCAM! They have deceiving marketing, offering tons of things, lowering the rent but at the end NO REFRIGERATOR! I would be EXTRA careful with JLS Palms deceiving practices.
