Prompton Reviews 2

Really challenged to say anything good about them. We had two properties with them and both were left in ruins and one in significant arrears of rent.

If I could give a 0 I would.
They've managed the tenancy of my flat for a few years, and it's only inertia on my side, and the fact I live abroad that has held me back from trying to find another property manager.
I will say, their accounting team are good - still very paper-based, but very competent.

But the property managers, not so much:
- very little is included in their monthly fee, which made my rental much less profitable, because it always felt like there were extras
- they didn't provide the things I'd asked for (like an inspection report or a video from the tenant to make sure the flat was being taken care of),
- they do not communicate well (they did not tell me until after that they evicted the tenant they had put in (who had racked up $2000 in fines with the strata)
- but then they overcommunicate on other things like sending a separate one line email on an email chain that I'm copied on, so I can easily get 20 emails in a day (that are not all relevant to me)
- they did not advertise my flat where I'd asked them to when they were renting it, so it took over a month to rent (at a time when rentals were hard to find in Vancouver) - which felt a bit like they were stretching it out so they could charge more
- the tenant they installed left the flat with $2000 in damage, which Prompton is absolving themselves of responsibility on. They are not returning my flat to me in the state I gave it to them in, just handing me the damage deposit from the tenant so I can fix it myself - or pay them a fee to fix the damage.
- it's all done with just a bit of attitude, and LOADS of excuses, genuinely doesn't feel like a service organisation at all - the one line emails especially feel very unprofessional
- it just feels like an effort and an energy drain to deal with them, definitely don't recommend
