Dear Mr. and Mrs. Leske,

I want to tell you that I have had such a nice experience signing up with BCI to find a renter and properly manage my property there in Tacoma.  Ashley has been friendly, informative, and professional.  The guy [Kris Hanson] that met us at our property Saturday exhibited the same characteristics..  I feel confident that my property is in good hands because of these people.

Sincerely,
Mike Lundquist

"My experience with BCI Properties in Tacoma has been excellent. Don, Emily and staff are friendly, detail-oriented and sincerely care about the work they do. I approached them in 2010 for property management of my small East Tacoma home after reading many excellent reviews and comparing services and costs of other property management companies inTacoma. In no time my little house was occupied.

 

When that first tenant moved out, BCI Properties had another tenant ready to move right in, and the home has been occupied ever since. Also, BCI Properties is great about keeping me appraised about property issues such as needed repairs - even giving me the option of having repairs done by qualified repairmen on their list, or allowing me to have work done by a professional of my own choosing. xtremely satisfied with BCI Properties and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing property management.

Don, Emily, and Amber,

 

First and foremost, we would like to thank you all for being so helpful and patient with us during this entire process.  Initially we were shocked to see BCI offering to manage properties at such a low rate compare to competitors.  But after our first meeting with Don we soon realized the genius to the BCI business model.

 

My wife and I are military and purchased our home in 2006.  Being military it was only inevitable that we would have to move, and luckily we landed in paradise (Hawaii).  Well, in the current housing market selling our home wouldn't have been a very lucrative endeavour so we decided to rent in order to build a little more equity before cashing in.  We searched high and low for the best management situation for our investment both economically and business wise.  Little did we know that our search would lead us to find that the best management situation would also end up being the fiscally smart choice as well.

 

Don, Emily, and Amber took very good care our us, guiding us through this every step of the way.  They were able to find us two reliable tenants to choice from in under 3 weeks and our home rented for exactly what we expected.  We can't say enough about BCI as a thoroughly organized family business.  Their overall goal is customer satisfaction which is evident in the testimonials you see here today.  They do an excellent job of ensuring everything is accounted for from maintenance to payments.  They ensure every applicant is screened and seek home owner approval prior to all move ins.  And most importantly they take pride in ensuring your home is in excellent condition before a tenant moves in and out of your investment.

Don really gets it!  BCI can afford to offer the best rates because they manage more properties than any other company in the region, they maintain positive relationships with home owners, tenants, and maintenance companies, and they do far more with less payroll.

 

Don, as you already know we have a great amount of respect for you and a fond appreciation for BCI as a family business.  You are truly a genius and are very lucky to have such a beautiful and magnificent wife like Emily to keep the books in order for over 170 properties.  Thank you Emily for everything and being so prompt with the payments.  And last but certainly not least, thank you Amber for being so patient and kind with us.  Not to mention the fact that you were able to find two competing tenants in under 3 weeks.  How bout that for customer appreciation...lol.

 

Thanks and "warm" wishes,

Darryl and Dalani

Amber, we just wanted to thank you for the professional and tactful way you handle renter issues.
Once again, BCI is our best answer to these events.
 
Thank you,
Homer

  - Highly recommended! -   as posted on Merchant Circle.


  I switched to BCI because I was desperate with my previous agent. I was so surprised on how thoughtful and efficient Don is. The day I signed the contract he immediately went to inspect the property, change the lock, did a walk through and provide me a bunch of photos on the damage the evicted tenant did. He always communicate to me what he is doing so that I feel my property is in good care. His documents are very clear and very detail so that you know where the money goes. For owners that are not living in the area, this is the kind of agent you can entrust your property with.

Subject: Which property management company to pick

Don,

I have been more than pleased with you and your company and happily provide this testimonial.

  "I was planning on relocating from Lakewood, WA to Fort Worth, TX. I did my due diligence and contacted some property management companies in the area, one of which was BCI Properties. The other company wanted to charge me a list of fees including a percentage of the first month's rent up front, applications fees, etc. On top of that, the maximum rent that they were looking to charge tenants was significantly lower than what BCI Properties recommended. I decided to go with BCI and have been happy with them ever since. Don and Emily filled my vacant home quickly at the full rental price. I don't think that it sat vacant for a single month. They have always billed me in a timely and appropriate manner. When there is a maintenance issue, they get it fixed for the best rates available. Additionally, they always give candidly wise advice. Anyone looking to lease their home in the Tacoma area should give serious consideration to hiring BCI properties to protect their investment."

Have a great day Don, and give my best to Emily.

BCI has been an excellent property management solution for our [Multi-unit] apartments. They have consistently had great communication, been proactive in solving tenant problems, and above all, cost-effective. I know many owners who pay a lot more money for far less service than I have gotten from BCI.

BCI Properties, LLC has been a great company to work with. It has taken a lot of stress off of me in renting out my condo. I am so glad I went this direction rather than managing my rental on my own. They have been available to me whenever I have needed them in any questions or concerns I have had. I researched before choosing BCI Properties and they are by far the most affordable and it has been a pleasure working with them.
 

Thank you, Lindsay English

Don, as you know I was forced to foreclose on this property to satisfy a judgment.  I did not want to own this home. I had a builder clean up, carpet, and paint the inside of the house to sell.  After several months I had no offers.  I then to chose to rent it, also with no interest.  So I contacted you to see the capabilities to rent it.  As I have cancer I had not been able to view the property myself.  You took a personal interest in the house, gave me a bid on bringing it up to rental standards, handled the purchase of needed appliances, blinds, etc. and placed the home on the market.

 

It rented immediately to a very grounded family who have been extremely good tenants.  Don, as I said you did this all without our meeting, just on your word.  I would recommend you and your firm to anyone in my predicament.

Don And Emily and BCI Properties have been the BEST decision that I ever made. Not only does their service offer the BEST Rates around, but with them taking care of my property and tenant dealings I never worry, they are fantastic and handling everything for me. Living in another state I wanted to feel confident with who was managing my property.  It has been smooth sailing with them and I recommend them to everyone! I cant thank them enough!

"After interviewing several Property Management companies, we came across BCI Properties. We were so impressed with Don and Emily's experience and expertise, not to mention their friendly yet direct manner, that we signed up on the spot. We are glad we did! Our property has not sat vacant for less than a week. Don and Emily quickly respond to issues from both the tenant and us the home owner with professionalism. We are very glad that we have people we can trust managing our property. I recommend them to everyone!"

Subject: Military move and help 

Dear Don and Emily,

My wife and I just wanted to write and say "THANK YOU" for all your
tremendous efforts during the past year.  I wanted to highlight just
some of the many positive experiences that we had with you and your
company.

1.  Timely notice.  Thank you for always keeping us informed with any
issues that might arise with the property.  I am glad to say that none
have been negative and if anything, you kept us well informed of any
issues that might arise with the property.

2.  Maintenance.  Your firm is tremendous at handling issues to keep
both the renter and property owner at ease.  Needless to say, property
management can be sensitive for both the renter and property owner and
thus far, we feel greatly satisfied in addressing the needs of the
property.

3.  Paperwork.  We appreciate the timely monthly statements.  They are
easy to follow and we have never once received a payment late.  It
seems easy but I know it takes a lot of effort behind the scenes to be
this consistent.  Your timely statements have made our tax
preparations that much more easier.

In all, thank you again for you efforts.  Being in the military and
separated TWO time zones away from our property, you help us to sleep
better at night.  We look forward to our continued experiences with
you and your company.

All the best, Frank and Grace Kim  University Place
