Lawrie & Lawrie Properties

Lily and Shelley recently helped with a successful relocation. They worked quickly to identify listings that met the client's desired specifications. They also ensured that all of the necessary applications and lease paperwork was in order so as to place the client in the best possible position to obtain the desired property. It helps to have such knowledgeable realtors and property managers be by your side and help guide you. Lily and Shelly are very attentive and provide just the right amount of handholding to help you find that perfect home! more

Answer to my prayers! I have recently rented an apt for a friend of mine with Dimentia and my experience has been wonderful. They were not only accomodating to our situation but were prompt in their communication with us during the entire process. I am in the property management business myself but didn't have any properties available for my friend. The application and lease they use are up to snuff and the property is well maintained. I would recommend them to anyone and all of my potential applicants should I not have a property to rent them myself. I have been extremely pleased. more

Do not rent from this company! They do not return phone calls, charge you for damage to your rental that you didn't cause, and it will take an eternity before you receive your deposit refund check. In addition that take over a month to cash any checks written to them. One of the worst experiences I've had!!! more

Rude and irresponsible. The worst experience I ever had in hunting rental. They are not professional in business. I'd not recommend this to everyone. Do not work with them. more

I called this agency to try and help with the search for my sons housing in Santa Cruz. The first person I spoke to Liliana was helpful but unfortunately put me through to Shelley Lawrie. She asked the most ridiculous questions in quite the rudest manner I have encountered over the phone, questions such as ""Why are you calling me instead of your son if he needs housing?"" (My son works a full time job and had in fact called most of the rentals, it just so happened I called this one for him) Then she had follow up questions like ""What exactly is your son studying"" - not a general question like whats his major, Im sure if i had stayed on the phone she would have required his shoe size. The whole conversation was extremely rude and abrasive, she is VERY judgmental. Other agencies in the area have been extremely helpful, I would definitely advise against this one. If I could have given no stars to her I would have done Pros: Never have to deal with her again Cons: Worst phone manner EVER! more

Shelley has done a good job managing all of her many rental properties. Just wish she might have sent flowers (at least?) to Lori Davis's Family for her Memorial .Lori had been a long time tenant and a reliable renter, since way back in the 80's. She loved living in Capitola, and @ Pleasure Point as well. It was sad no one from ""Lawrie and Lawrie,"" acknowledged her passing. Busy as property managers are....perhaps you never knew? A personal touch would have meant so much. She left us all too soon. Pros: Years of experience Cons: Cold Hearted? Detached totally? more
