Dwellings Seattle Property Management Reviews

We hired Dwellings to manage our Seattle property in 2018. While everything went smoothly for the first several years, the company's management completely fell apart in mid-2025. Despite our tenants paying their rent on time every month, the property manager, Roland, consistently withheld and delayed our funds. Every single month, we had to waste time sending multiple emails and making constant phone calls just to get paid. The situation became so severe that we had to hire a lawyer to send formal legal letters. Roland finally responded, but completely shrugged off accountability, claiming he …

As a property owner, I have not been receiving my owner distributions on time from Dwellings Seattle Property Management, sometimes with delays of more than a month. This has led me to question the cashflow health and overall operation of this company. I would caution other property owners to think carefully before signing with them.

I've been a client of Dwellings Property Management for over 10 years, and my experience with them has been consistently excellent. They are incredibly professional, responsive, and reliable in every aspect of property management. Of course, like with any property, issues do come up from time to time, but what sets Dwellings apart is how quickly and professionally they handle everything. Whether it's tenant concerns, maintenance, or general upkeep, the team always takes care of things efficiently and keeps me well informed. When I decided to do a remodel, Dwellings not only managed the entire…

Our company has had the pleasure of working with Yesenia, Tom, and the rest of the team at Dwellings, a fantastic property management company in West Seattle, for over a decade now. They specialize in managing single-family homes and starter homes, doing an excellent job supporting both tenants and landlords. In the humid Seattle climate, properties start to deteriorate quickly unless they get regular maintenance. I've witnessed firsthand how proactive they are with maintenance—whether it's roof cleaning, gutter cleaning, window cleaning, or quickly handling tenant requests. They genuinely ca…

We have used Roland and his team at Dwellings since 2018, and they've been an exceptional property manager for our rental house. They are extremely responsive and handle tenant issues promptly and professionally. Thanks to their proactive approach, we rarely have to get involved—they truly make owning a rental property hassle-free. Additionally, we also find their rates quite reasonable and their approach to improvements on the home very useful. Their attention to detail and dedication give us peace of mind, and we couldn’t recommend them more highly!

The team at Dwellings is very efficient and easy to work with! They are transparent in what you can expect as an owner.

We've had Dwellings manage our luxury home in capitol hill for a couple years now. They helped us remodel our home to make it rental ready at an affordable cost & have since found us tenants and are actively managing our property. Our experience with them has been excellent. One of my favorite parts is that you engage directly with the CEO Roland who truly cares vs working with the property arm of a large real estate company and engaging with employees who might only care about their pay check. It helps that they're a boutique property management company that specializes in this. It allows us …

Our relationship with Dwellings was indispensable. We moved abroad for a few years and left our townhome in the management hands of Dwellings. They efficiently guided us to do some updates to our home prior to renting, which effectively led to a more stable rental market. All decision points left us able to choose what worked best for us. There was never pressure to do anything we weren’t comfortable with. Their oversight meant we were able to live aboard without worry or deal with difficult communication challenges with tenants. They handled everything! From our first walkthrough to our final…

We used dwellings to help manage our property. Roland and his team are purely top notch and among the best in the business. Starting from the initial inspection of the home, to all the fixes and getting it ready for rental and managing the entire process for us. If you are looking for high-end property rental management , look no further than dwellings- I would highly recommend. We will be sure to partner with Roland and team in the near future again. They manage everything in a very professional manner so that it’s a seamless experience for the landlord. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED in the greater Se…

Dwellings has done a great job managing our townhome in West Seattle. I had moved out of state and I could not keep up with my rental property. They handled a difficult tenant situation, dealt with a fire, and rehabbed the property to rent it out after the tenant moved out. They check in frequently on the property and have been very responsive to any inquiries. I like the fact that they are a small company and not some big property management agency. Definitely the best experience I've had with a property management company - I had rented for a number of years and was always dissatisfied …

Dwellings has been fantastic! Roland came by after first contact, walked through my condo with me, and made meaningful suggestions on improvements before we rented the unit. The unit ws rented almost immediately when it was ready, and they have had clear communication through the entire process. I appreciate the yearly unit walkthrough with pictures so you can see how the unit looks with the tenants living there to ensure there hasn't been any major damage. Fantastic communication on approvals for requests from tenants, and great bookkeeping that makes tax season easy for this property. Only …

Dwellings Seattle is a top notch real estate management company. Roland and his team delivered in all areas from getting my property ready to rent, marketing the property, and finding the right tenant to sign a solid lease. I recommend them wholeheartedly.

Roland and his team struck the perfect balance between both protecting us (the tenants) and the landlord. Their payment portal is straight forward and maintenance requests were taken care of promptly. The entire team was friendly and responsive. In an unideal situation (early lease termination), the team was accommodating and caring.

We’ve had a great experience with the property management team. They’re incredibly responsible, proactive, and consistently stay on top of everything. Communication is clear and timely, and it’s evident that they truly care about the property and the people living there. It’s reassuring to know that any issues are handled promptly and professionally. Highly recommend!

I have been a tenant for over 3 years with dwellings and it’s been wonderful! My rental has been maintained and Roland has always made anything I need top priority. I have rented many other places in the last 15 years and I have never enjoyed living somewhere so much. I appreciate the quick responses and attentiveness and attention to detail they have put into me and my home! My place is beautiful and the process with dwellings and all their employees has been a dream. Just wanted to give my thanks and say how happy I am with working with this company. I will continue to enjoy my time with the…

I had the pleasure of renting a unit for my small business from Dwellings Property Management October 2021 - February 2024. Roland Gonzalez and his team are very professional and courteous. The administrative staff always answered my inquiries quickly with thorough explanations. Whenever I needed maintenance done inside the unit It was done fast and outside of my business hours not to disrupt my work flow. I highly recommend Dwellings Property Management.

Working with Dwellings means you can trust that your home is in good hands. They care for the property as if it was their own!

Roland and his team have been managing our rental property for the last two years. Our experience has been entirely positive - they are professional, efficient, responsive and very helpful. They helped us renovate our condo to a high standard to attract renters in this competitive market and we know that we can rely on them to take care of everything so that we don't have to worry about a thing. They are second to none as far as project management is concerned and we look forward to working with Dwellings for the foreseeable future!

There are not enough words allowed in the character box for the amount of frustration, anger, and disgust I feel towards this company. Still contemplating retaining legal counsel so I won't say much other than this is the absolute worst property management company I have ever rented from. Thankful that I now live in an actually well-maintained property without deceit and greed. I'll never rent from a property management company again after this experience, and when I eventually own property again, I'll never utilize a property management company either because of my experience here. Look at t…

Definitely not recommend renting from Dwellings. We had a bad experience towards the end of our lease term but I'll be as objective as I can in the is review. Downs: -There was a shower drain gushing issue (not caused by us, the gushing stopped after building asked other residents in the same unit line to stop using shower bath, so it seems to be its a building pipe thing) We notified the apartment building management immediately and plumbers came to drain the water and set up 7 commercial blowers to dry the master bath and bedroom. We were told the blowers had to stay on day&night and we sho…

Roland and his team are amazing! During our renovation and rental processes they were very forth coming about what needed to happen and had a plan to get there. No surprises. We have been very happy with the service we've received. Thank you Dwellings Team. Paige Erickson
