Soquet Realty, Inc.

I had a great experience with Soquet Realty. They were our landlords for 3.5 years, and we considered them friends. Good, Christian couple. Very honest people. We received every cent of our deposit back. I really enjoyed having them as landlords.

This guy and his wife can't be trusted and they are unreliable property manager. I have been renting from him for 4 1/2 years and when I decided to move out he takes a 180 turn and becomes the worse person to deal with. Every time I try to have him come out for any maintenance he would take days to find someone and then hires a cheap handyman to take care of the task. He would blame you for multiple pre-existing broken items in the house and charge you for it. I paid him a month and half worth of rent when I don't even live there anymore and he still has the nerve to keep my security deposit and wants to charge me extra as well. Stay clear of this company. They will pretend to be the nicest people ever but will find every way to try and cheat you of every penny. As well I am not the 1st tenant to say the same exact thing about this horrible business.

Do NOT rent or do business with Soquet Realty. The husband & wife team there are crooked. I rented a house from them & to start off Mark acted like I had better give him a damage deposit check immediately b/c he had a bunch of back-up people just waiting in line to get into the property. Turns out it was a bunch of BS to scare you into giving him money withoutn thinking. I learned this after I heard him use the same line on other renters when he was on the phone one day. Then to get them to take care of any broken or bad thing in the house was akin to pulling teeth without novacaine--your teeth! Painful as hell. Mark acts like he's a super busy man, he typically sounds very angry & irritated & you better quit bothering him with your requests...even when he agreed to them as a condition of your moving in & renting from him! He would put you off for days & weeks on end before fixing things & he would never show up when he said he would to take care of anything...you just had to keep calling him time after time when he wouldn't show. For Christ's sakes--he was the one setting the dates that were convenient for him & he never bothered to so much as give you a courtesy call to let you know that he was going to be a no-show...AGAIN. You will want to ring his neck constantly, but you never can, b/c he's acting as your landlord. How unfortunate. You will end up despising the walls around you b/c you know his greedy arse is getting a cut of your rent money--for doing nothing but blowing you off. I never once, & I mean never, was late or missed paying my rent but I got grief about 90% of the time I had to deal with him. To top it it off, the jerk mailed my damage deposit return check to me in the mail...UNSIGNED! The bank wouldn't take it. Imagine how pissed you'd be after all of the grief you put up with over the years only to end it like that. Don't do it--take my word

If the market is hot it is a good service because you save money on the real estate agent. If it is slow don't waste your money. They don't even come look at your house it is basically a listing service for MLS. Not much help pricing either and at the end of you 6 month contract you loose your money.
