I am writing this review on behalf of my aunt who engaged Priority One to serve as the construction manager for the renovation for one of her properties in Crown Point. The crew began updating the home and associated detached buildings in September, 2024. The work was completed in late November. She was very impressed with the speed of the project and was thankful for Marc’s guidance all the way to the rental of the property in February of this year. Now that the home is in the rental stage, my aunt says that she is very pleased with the service provided by Marc and Priority One. They’ve been consistently responsive, professional, and easy to work with. They’ve made the experience of managing my aunt’s property smooth and worry-free.

Marc is the best! He coordinated the complete remodel of my rental house in a timely manner and on budget! When it was ready to rent, he had a tenant within a week.

Priority One has managed my rental property for about 10 years. They have maintained 100% occupancy, stayed on top of any maintenance and repair issues with trusted maintenance techs, handled monthly mortgage payments and provided reliable monthly owner income payments. Marc is just a phone call away if I have a problem. I definitely recommend Priority One if you need excellent property management.

Priority One has managed our rental property for about 10 years. In that time the property has had a tenant for all but a few weeks. We rely on Priority One to know the real estate market and keep our unit rental rate appropriate. Last year the property had several issues (tenant turnover, garage door issue and a water leak to the unit below) All of these were handled efficiently without us having to journey from out of town to take care of the issues. It is comforting knowing that our rental property is in good hands.

We’ve had several different management companies over the past 20 years and none have come close to the service Priority One has continually provided for 12 years. We would highly recommend Priority One!

My husband and I had the opportunity to rent a beautiful apartment in La Mesa from Priority One. New to renting, Marc and his team were very gracious and helpful throughout our experience. They answered any of our questions, made sure to send in handymen quickly when there was a repair needed in the bathroom, and gave us very straightforward direction on how to leave the apartment in order to get our deposit back in full when it came time to move out. We look forward to hopefully buying through Priority One in the future!

Marc and his team at Priority One have been managing my properties for 15+ years. Marc provides everything I expect: availability, reasonable fees, good communication, professionalism with tenants, and genuine interest in the care of our properties. It’s hard to find a good property manager…just go with Priority One.
