- Highly recommended! - as posted on Merchant Circle.
I switched to BCI because I was desperate with my previous agent. I was so surprised on how thoughtful and efficient Don is. The day I signed the contract he immediately went to inspect the property, change the lock, did a walk through and provide me a bunch of photos on the damage the evicted tenant did. He always communicate to me what he is doing so that I feel my property is in good care. His documents are very clear and very detail so that you know where the money goes. For owners that are not living in the area, this is the kind of agent you can entrust your property with.

We at Budget have worked with many property managers and listing agents throughout California, Oregon, Washington and Arizona. Working with BCI Properties, LLC has made our jobs and lives easier. It's hard to find a company we can trust to take care and manage our properties. I'm happy to say that with BCI Properties, LLC we don't worry at all because you guys handle everything and we know that we can trust you with our assets. Thank you and your entire team Don, we appreciate the work you've done for us.

We shopped around for property managers before settling on BCI Properties. We actually tried another management team before them and can testify that their management contract is 'owner friendly' and their rates, the best we found. We have five properties being managed by BCI Properties and have had experience with their professional, effective services in several circumstances. With a tenant complaint, BCI, quickly addressed the needs, taking effective action to remedy; with an unpleasant, unresponsive tenant who lost his job and was incommunicado to us, BCI Properties curtailed a lengthy continued occupation and brought eviction resolution in a timely manner; when a tenant gave notice to vacate, BCI Properties went to work getting the house restored to rent-able condition and have already rented the home, within two weeks of its vacation. In circumstances requiring purchases of appliances, BCI Properties has shown itself to be resourceful and spend thrifty, steering us to the best possible purchases, while still giving us whatever options available. The advertising/marketing BCI Properties has done, have been tasteful, accurate, and insightful, taking the time to highlight unique features of our homes. We've only had a few 'end of the month' statements, but they are handled by individual property, charges are clearly substantiated and the statements, easy to understand. Don and Emily are approachable, workable people, not constrained by set modes of operation, and have pleasant 'servant' attitudes whenever we call needing advice or an update. They are accessible on email and many times, we get up in the morning to an email from them, originated 6 or so am! We are ever so happy we came on board BCI Properties for our property management needs.

Subject: Which property management company to pick
Don,
I have been more than pleased with you and your company and happily provide this testimonial.
"I was planning on relocating from Lakewood, WA to Fort Worth, TX. I did my due diligence and contacted some property management companies in the area, one of which was BCI Properties. The other company wanted to charge me a list of fees including a percentage of the first month's rent up front, applications fees, etc. On top of that, the maximum rent that they were looking to charge tenants was significantly lower than what BCI Properties recommended. I decided to go with BCI and have been happy with them ever since. Don and Emily filled my vacant home quickly at the full rental price. I don't think that it sat vacant for a single month. They have always billed me in a timely and appropriate manner. When there is a maintenance issue, they get it fixed for the best rates available. Additionally, they always give candidly wise advice. Anyone looking to lease their home in the Tacoma area should give serious consideration to hiring BCI properties to protect their investment."
Have a great day Don, and give my best to Emily.

BCI has been an excellent property management solution for our [Multi-unit] apartments. They have consistently had great communication, been proactive in solving tenant problems, and above all, cost-effective. I know many owners who pay a lot more money for far less service than I have gotten from BCI.

To whom it may concern;
BCI Properties, LLC has been a great company to work with. It has taken a lot of stress off of me in renting out my condo. I am so glad I went this direction rather than managing my rental on my own. They have been available to me whenever I have needed them in any questions or concerns I have had. I researched before choosing BCI Properties and they are by far the most affordable and it has been a pleasure working with them.

Subject: fast rental
Don, as you know I was forced to foreclose on this property to satisfy a judgment. I did not want to own this home. I had a builder clean up, carpet, and paint the inside of the house to sell. After several months I had no offers. I then to chose to rent it, also with no interest. So I contacted you to see the capabilities to rent it. As I have cancer I had not been able to view the property myself. You took a personal interest in the house, gave me a bid on bringing it up to rental standards, handled the purchase of needed appliances, blinds, etc. and placed the home on the market.
It rented immediately to a very grounded family who have been extremely good tenants. Don, as I said you did this all without our meeting, just on your word. I would recommend you and your firm to anyone in my predicament.

Don And Emily and BCI Properties have been the BEST decision that I ever made. Not only does their service offer the BEST Rates around, but with them taking care of my property and tenant dealings I never worry, they are fantastic and handling everything for me. Living in another state I wanted to feel confident with who was managing my property. It has been smooth sailing with them and I recommend them to everyone! I cant thank them enough!

"After interviewing several Property Management companies, we came across BCI Properties. We were so impressed with Don and Emily's experience and expertise, not to mention their friendly yet direct manner, that we signed up on the spot. We are glad we did! Our property has not sat vacant for less than a week. Don and Emily quickly respond to issues from both the tenant and us the home owner with professionalism. We are very glad that we have people we can trust managing our property. I recommend them to everyone!"

Dear Don and Emily,
My wife and I just wanted to write and say "THANK YOU" for all your
tremendous efforts during the past year. I wanted to highlight just
some of the many positive experiences that we had with you and your
company.
1. Timely notice. Thank you for always keeping us informed with any
issues that might arise with the property. I am glad to say that none
have been negative and if anything, you kept us well informed of any
issues that might arise with the property.
2. Maintenance. Your firm is tremendous at handling issues to keep
both the renter and property owner at ease. Needless to say, property
management can be sensitive for both the renter and property owner and
thus far, we feel greatly satisfied in addressing the needs of the
property.
3. Paperwork. We appreciate the timely monthly statements. They are
easy to follow and we have never once received a payment late. It
seems easy but I know it takes a lot of effort behind the scenes to be
this consistent. Your timely statements have made our tax
preparations that much more easier.
In all, thank you again for you efforts. Being in the military and
separated TWO time zones away from our property, you help us to sleep
better at night. We look forward to our continued experiences with
you and your company.
| All the best, Frank and Grace Kim University Place |

Testimonial-
My husband and I listed with BCI because of their rates. But, the service is fabulous.
What ever we needed for our paper work or help with property issues, the folks at BCI got right on it. We also, needed it to rent quickly and they handled that too. They know what they are doing and they help with open hands and hearts. Good People.

Don,
I hope you have been well.
I wanted to thank you for all the efforts you put in to getting our house
squared away and rented in such a timely fashion. Being in the military,
I was between a rock and a hard place as I was two time zones away in Kansas.
Just moving from Japan did not help at all either. In any event, you understood
our needs and made expeditious efforts towards a combined goal. You got our
place rented and squared away in less than ONE MONTH! We could not be more pleased
with you and your team. Please accept our heartfelt thanks.
Sincerely,
