Maintenance service, pretty good – My water heater started leaking sometime Sunday while I was away. It soaked the carpet in the hall, living room, and one of the bedrooms. I got home around 5:00 pm, and immediately called the Beven & Brock emergency service line. I got an operator who assured me that she would have someone from the company call me right away. It took 30 minutes. That seemed like a long time to me. When I finally did get the call things did get better. I was asked to turn off the water to the water heater, w... read more

Help when we needed it – I had a problem with my application. My husband and I had been good renters, but we like a lot of folks had bought a house we couldn not afford. It went into foreclosure and really messed up our credit. We had always had very good credit before this. I called Mr. Beven. His name and direct number were right on the info form they give to all applicants. I was actually quite surprised by that, an owner of a big company like this giving all tenants his direct number. He did not answer, so I left him a m... read more

That seems fair to me. – Well, at least this seems fair. When I moved out of my last place, the landlord charged me for cleaning and repairs. Some of this was fair, but I had questions about others, but couldn?t prove my point. When I recently move in at a Beven & Brock property in South Pasadena I was asked to sign a form indicating the condition of the property when I moved in. There was even a written suggestion to me at the bottom of the form, encouraging me to take photos before my move-in. So, I did, lots of them. With... read more

Smart business decision – Here?s a company that understands what going on out there. I am one of their tenants, and I accidentally got a copy of an internal memo from the owner. It was directed to all of his property managers, property owners, and rental staff. The sense of the letter was that for the foreseeable future they would not be raising rents unless someone?s rent was ridiculously low. This was apparently not done as a ?favor? to the tenants, but out of what seems to be good business sense: to avoid unnecessary vaca... read more

Initial impression ... very positive. – So far, I have had a very good impression of Beven & Brock. When I arrived, I was greeted by Rosa, and she gave me a clear instruction sheet on how to apply with their company. HERE WAS THE GREAT PART: at the bottom of the cover-sheet, in a "bold" box, was a note from the owner of the company. It read "To All Applicants: If you have any problem with our service, any problem at all, please call me. If you think that I might be able to help you in any way, to answer any question, please ... read more

Determined to offer the best products and services – I am the co-owner of the company. Our host?s rules do not allow me to use my name, but it does come first in the company name. I can be reached easily during our business hours. Just call. My partner and I started this company "from scratch" in 1979 with 6 rental units. We now manage nearly 8,000 units of apartments, condominiums, and single family homes. Over the past 29 years, we have worked with and for at least 145,000 tenants, condominium owners, apartment owners, and... read more

Good employees working hard for you. – I was Beven & Brock?s first employee, starting in 1979. I have remained their employee ever since. Now there are over 50 employees, handymen, and resident managers. Of course you could think I?m biased, and that is probably true. I would like to state that over the past 29 years it has been my pleasure to watch this company grow and succeed so well. This could not have happened if we did not please most of the people (owners and tenants) most of the time. The owners (Fin Beven and Dave ... read more

Beven and Brock, Property management company to avoid. – Useless people who work for them! I've read some of the reviews, and I can't say I'm the least surprised by any of it. I can't believe how incompetent they are, you need to chase them around in order to get anything done, and they never get things correct the first time around, it's a constant "drama" on their part to do anything that would make sense to anyone with a brain in their head. I've only had to deal by email and phone, if I went in person, they'd all be out ... read more

Great property management like this company is hard to find these days! – I have lived in a Bevan & Brock managed property, the same one, for nearly 6 1/2 years. I have had a very good relationship with my personal property manager the whole time. Bevan & Brock responded quickly to my needs for repairs, service or any problem that arose. I cannot say that they were perfect as I have been a bit disappointed once or twice with customer service calls made over the phone and the way the person who took my call acted towards me. ... read more
