Stephen DeBaise was a great property manager. He was consistent in his communication, gave advanced notice when the apartment was to be attended to, and was quick to respond to my text messages. I had a great experience overall.
Stephen Debaise/Property Advisors Management is very professional and caring. They are always available and very easy to reach. Stephen goes above to help resolve property problems and engages tenants in the resolutions if possible. Keep up the good work!
Stephen and Linda have been wonderful to work with as managers of our condo building. Their communications and implementations are prompt and to the point, making sure our concerns are addressed on a timely basis. They have been able to serve as an effective intermediary between us and contractors, pursuing multiple quotes and ensuring contractors are doing quality work and at a reasonable price.
Linda and Stephen are our property management heroes!! They have a brilliant way of helping everyone to feel at ease, even in the midst of stressful repair or maintenance challenges. They always know the right specialists to call, and they’re incredibly responsive. We would be lost without them!
I am currently a member of Olive Street Homeowner’s Association. We hired Property Advisors after a long, drawn-out relationship with our former property manager that yielded few productive results with projects deemed critical by our board. Our most critical project was a roof replacement two years ago due to destruction caused during hurricane season in 2018. After replacement, there was clear evidence to suggest that poor workmanship led to a drainage issue that rotted a soffit on the front of our building. Over a year after collaborating with our former property manager to resolve the issues, not a single thing had changed. This is precisely when we made the transition.
Since bringing Linda and Stephen on, it feels like a weight has been lifted. What took our former manager over a year to only complicate, took Debaise but two weeks to resolve. The matter was much simpler than we ever even realized. This was a product of their ability to clearly distill the facts and deeply understand the path to resolution. Not once has any member or my team or I had to reach out to receive a status update on the project – Linda and Stephen drive all communication, coordinate team meetings, and get necessary approvals to move forward and then execute. Both members have unique capabilities that make them a great partnership. Stephen is young, energetic, and connected due to his eagerness to develop contacts in the contractor space. Linda is direct, tenacious, and experienced with over 35+ years in real estate, property management, and entrepreneurship combined. You are never unclear as to what the action items/deliverables are and what role they are serving for you and your association.
Our intention of the association is not only property management, but also equity appreciation. We live in an older building in a wonderful area and know that with Property Advisors’ help, we can appreciate along with the surrounding area by prioritizing the right projects. We are extremely pleased with our choice to work with Property Advisors and would be happy to answer any additional questions. Linda can provide you with my contact if you would like to discuss.
I am writing this letter to express how truly impressed I have been with Stephen DeBaise as my property manager. Stephen took over as property manager when my landlord moved out of state.
As a tenant, I have been absolutely astounded by the prompt action Stephen takes even for minor problems and the thorough job he does. He has a user-friendly website to pay rent or submit any repair requests and is always easy to reach by phone.
Aside from being very professional, he is also very personable and takes the time to listen. For example, I have been extremely concerned with the rise in oil prices and the drafts in my rental home. Stephen took the time to inspect all of the draft areas and assured me he would find a way to fix them. Also, during my quarterly inspection, he found a faulty carbon monoxide detector and ran right out to the store to buy a new one. These are only two examples of the many wonderful things Stephen has done since taking over as our property manager.
As a single mom with a toddler, it is very comforting to know that he has and will address any problems. Stephen is a dependable and very hard-working man. I am so grateful to have his support and highly recommend him to any prospective clients.
I was introduced to Stephen DeBaise in Spring 2021 at the recommendation of my realtor during my search for a property manager. I had recently purchased and renovated my first rental property in New Haven and needed to move out of the state for work opportunities, so I needed a trustworthy property manager to look after the property in my absence. In short, Stephen exceeded my expectations, laid to rest all my concerns, and helped me sleep peacefully at night knowing my tenants and property are in good stewardship. Before hiring Stephen as a property manager, I contracted him to shoot promotional videos to advertise my newly renovated units. Stephen immediately impressed me with the speed he delivered the video edits, the quality of the camera cuts, and his responsiveness to my requests for changes. Being satisfied with Stephen’s work on the videos, I reached out to him to discuss business opportunities to work as my property manager.
Initially, I had some reservations about hiring Stephen. He was relatively new to property management relative to some competitors. However, his prior business experiences in the landscaping business, strong team support, and overall competence from my prior business dealings convinced me to sign a contract with him to manage my new property. I would not regret my decision.
Stephen is beyond responsible. He steered my property through several challenges. He has navigated the property through maintenance issues both big and small (including a major water leak due to faulty plumbing in the renovation stage). He’s filled my units in a timely manner with high-quality tenants. He’s gone to great lengths to be a present and active manager at the property, especially in the first 6 months of rental when additional support was needed. Stephen is a shrewd and honest businessman, finding me the best value when identifying contractors to provide maintenance services (he’s even negotiated some great deals on my behalf). It doesn’t hurt that he has a large network of local talent to pull from.
I am so pleased with Property Advisors to date and intend to continue our working relationship into the future for this, and any future rental properties I may acquire in the area. He has my trust and utmost respect as a businessman.
Please consider this letter to be my strong endorsement for Property Advisors. Legacy Premier Properties, LLC is a small development company with a portfolio of apartment rental units in the New Britain area. In early 2022, we hired Property Advisors. and Stephen DeBaise to manage the rental portfolio in this changeable real estate rental market. Property Advisors has assisted me with providing tenants with an online portal to pay their rent monthly and request work orders while tracking responses and timeliness. They also assisted us with leasing, background checks, and credit references in an effort to make the right tenant decision for our assets. While I am a local investor and live nearby, having a partner I can count on to effectively manage my investments will allow me the time to commit to other projects. Having somebody like Steve on my team provides me with peace of mind and motivates additional investing knowing I have a company with the expertise to assist in keeping tenants happy and meeting expectations. Steve has always been responsive in all aspects of the transaction and management, and I would recommend your condo or rental properties use DeBaise Property Management for their exceptional service and personal approach.
