I have been using McLain Properties for over 20 years. Jess, Jewel and Khira are thorough, responsive and easy to work with. I would highly recommend them.

We were referred to McLain by a family friend of ours in 2016 and have trusted them since that time to manage our rental property. Not only do they offer competitive rates, but they also provide first class customer service. I appreciate that they provide thorough screenings of tenants. They use reputable platforms to market properties, provide user friendly management software to track income and expenses, and respond to tenants' needs when it comes to all matters including repairs. Right before the holidays, our water heater went out on at our rental property. McLain quickly obtained a quot…

Dorothy worked tirelessly to get us tenants! She took care of everything from start to finish and clearly communicated every step of the way.

Absolutely could not have been a better experience. Bianca is the ultimate professional. This was our first time using a company to find tenants for a rental, and I don't know how it could have gone any better. Bianca was always quick to explain the process and answer any questions that we had. She found what may be the perfect tenants for our property immediately. We will definitely be retaining McLain Properties in the future.

I used to live in San Diego, and when I moved to Los Angeles, I wanted a property manager who would take care of things for me. I am so happy I decided to go with McLain Properties. They have been a gift. They are experts at what they do. They make good recommendations, have reliable and reasonably priced vendors, and they make owning a rental property so much easier. They also do a great job keeping records, invoices, and make the accounting at tax season so much easier. They do direct deposit and when they need approval for something they are very easy to work with . Most importantly,…

McLain Properties is an A+ rental property management company. Jessica Zornes is the Property Manager and Khira Capio is the Leasing Coordinator. They have managed my rental property since 2016. They are professional, responsive, concerned, resourceful and thorough. They make the lessees happy and keep the property in top condition. So glad they are managing my rental property.

We have been working with McClain Properties for a number of years and in particular Jess Zornes. We’ve always had a great experience. They have always been very responsive to our needs/requests. I would thoroughly recommend them and in particular Jess Zornes.

Great job finding me a tenant so quickly again! A shout out to my PM Dorothy for making it so easy. You are the BEST! Thank you!

McLain Properties has professionally managed my apartment complex for years. Jess, Lexi, Patricia and the team are very responsive and always do a great job!

5.0★Aug 2024

McLain Properties is simply outstanding. Our property manager, Jessica Zornes, has been managing our property for many years, and she, along with the entire team, is exceptional. They are always available for problem-solving and guidance, demonstrating a high level of professionalism and care for both owners and tenants. I cannot speak highly enough of this company and Jessica. Anyone seeking a property management company that will care for your property better than you would should look no further. They are the best!

McLain manages all my properties. I have never been dissatisfied with their services. They handle the tenants and the HOA issues as well. I would not know what to do without them. Jessica is my go to. She is quite knowledgeable and always helpful.

We have two properties with McLain Properties (and two more we will move immediately if McLain Properties opens up a branch in Palm Desert 😉), as well as 7 other properties and several other Property Management companies in areas McLain Properties doesn't serve. All the Team is great, but I wanted to reach out specifically about Jessica and our property in Escondido. We have had nightmarish issues with the HOA management company of this property that have gone rogue over a slab leak at the property. It has been an indescribable mess, yet Jessica has maintained her composure, professionalism, a…

I believe the most important things I look for in terms of customer satisfaction, is a true concern for the customer's needs, responsiveness and communication. Based on the experience I have had with McLain Properties, and specifically Jessica and the team that backs her up, I have found that there always was a sense that my concerns as a customer were taken seriously and the response and communications timely and detailed to such an extent that I could see progress. I had a number of issues dealing with the Neptune Way unit and the issues generally got quickly resolved and to my satisfaction.…

Everyone at McLain Properties is amazing. They walked me through the process of renting my home and were there for me every step of the way. I can not thank Jessica Zornes enough for the amazing communication.
