Report
Erica is the worst property manager Ive ever encountered which is saying something because I work in property management and have seen a lot. She repeatedly forgets who is on the lease, constantly separates emails between my roommate and I about joint things like entering the home, and her most recent antic is revoking our renewal agreement without any warning or communication. Once I informed her that what shes doing is illegal with an email from my lawyer, she simply ceased to respond and is now refusing any kind of contact regarding our lease. Extremely unprofessional, illegal practices

We have nothing but kind words for the folks at Elita. If you are looking for a well managed apartment to rent or have a property to rent and no time to manage it, you could do a lot worse than Elita.
Giving Seattle's shifting legal landscape for landlords, we have found Erica's help indispensable.

Erica Vincent and her team at Elita have been managing my rental property for a few years now. The service and quality of responsiveness has consistently been excellent. From repairs to new tenants, the communication has been timely, accurate, direct and solution oriented. My property is not your standard new apartment. Erica has helped me anticipate changes in the market, code requirement and how best to preserve the character of my property while continuing to ensure that it provides a welcoming, comfortable and compliant home for the tenants. I value her expertise, her integrity and her efficiency

Erica has been helping me rent out my duplex in Leschi in Seattle since 2018. I have found her to be very professional and dedicated in what she does. I would recommend her wholeheartedly to any landlord who is looking for support listing their property. Keep up the excellent work Erica!

Erica and Amanda were responsive to any issue that arose and were great to work with throughout our time as tenants. I would definitely recommend looking for an Elita property when looking for a Seattle rental.
