Report
The worst experience with property managers we have had. So hard to get a response or even a flicker of interest from them when anything was going wrong in our rental and when we did get a response they were extremely rude and unprofessional. Would avoid at all costs from renting through this agency again.
**update - the property managers have responded below - not all repairs were strata related and the strata group and building manager were far more responsive than Local Agency ever was - so much so that we spoke directly to them. Also we weren't in the apartment for 3 years - we were there

Local Agency Co had done an exceptional job in managing my property for the past 5 years. When it came time to sell the property it was an easy choice to work with Michael Stavrianos.
Michael is knowledgable, responsive, professional, and honest. He made sure to keep me informed through the entire process, was always contactable, and was very patient in answering all of my questions. I trusted in his advice and he didnt let me down. He worked tirelessly to get me a great price for my property. I walked away very satisfied.

We chose Michael Stavrianos in particular as we had an excellent previous experience with this agent. We have always found him to be honest, straightforward and extremely trustworthy.
Michael knows his stuff and certainly knows the market and area very well. We were kept informed and involved every step of the way and were thrilled with the outcome. We would highly recommend to anyone who is looking to sell their home.

My partner and I were looking for a property to rent when we found a place with Local Agency Co. From the initial application stage to approval, through to the other steps in what should be a stressful process, Michael and Bonnie have been most wonderful to deal with. They are both quick and responsive to any issues that we came across and kept us informed of every stage of the process. When you meet Michael in person, he is very patient and professional that he sets your mind at ease. I would highly recommend Local Agency Co as real estate professionals.
