Yates, Wood & MacDonald, Inc. Reviews

The management practices at Yateswood HOA regarding special assessments are highly questionable. A recent assessment required almost $100,000 from each of the 39 unit owners. While the total collection reached nearly $4 million, the scope of work was limited to siding and roofing. This cost is significantly higher than market rates for such renovations and rivals the cost of new construction. I am extremely disappointed in the lack of value and the financial strain this has placed on the community. They always submit misleading reports example actual cost just simple damage like 50k they repo…

I purchased a condominium, and this company is responsible for its management. My monthly mortgage payment and I also pay to them for nothing which feels like I’m paying for another mortgage rather than just condo fees. I’m left wondering what exactly they do with that. It seems like they’re simply taking our funds and providing us with misleading reports. Often, it feels like the managers are using our money to buy houses for themselves and then leaving the company. This has created a lot of stress for property owners. Many residents are considering selling their even at a loss. I, too, am …

Yates, Wood and MacDonald are the property managers for our condominiums. Worthless! No maintenance at all. Our property looks horrible. Then they conned the board into a HUGE, EXPENSIVE project to fix everything they let go for the past couple years. Forcing homeowners out of their homes as they can’t afford the assessment. Be warned!!

Yates Wood and MacDonald stole $1888 from me after I moved, which is illegal and stealing as I no longer owned the unit. It took hours for them to accept my calls. After they did they sent my money back but then also reversed a charge and then charged me the amount of the reversed charge (which is fair). But the incompetence is unreal. Partly due to mismanagement while I lived in one of their managed properties I decided to sell my unit. I recommend going with a different management group.

They will not get rid of the ants near my condo. it has affected mine and near by units. i have called 2 exterminators now. my daughter had to go to the hospital because of bites. this is ridiculous. Jennifer is failing. do not use them.

Live at a property that is managed by them through our HOA. Always is difficult to get in contact. when I did finally get a response for updating my call box with a new phone number it was entered incorrectly and then no confirmation when done. The responses are super slow and their attention to detail is not great. I am still trying to get my call box updated, and no response. The number they programed is for an office in another city that sells insurance. I would not recommend using Yates, Wood & MacDonald Inc. Their communication is poor. Ours is only a 20 unit building. Very Disappointing.

I am writing to let Yates Wood & MacDonald property management know that I would like to recognize Benisha Randle for her outstanding professionalism, Benisha is always friendly, willing to get things done in a timely fashion, outgoing, Benisha has also on several occasions dropped whatever she was doing to come over right away to the Kingswood apartments to fix what ever emergency situation has arisen. Thank you, Patricia Slattum Kingswood unit # 7 I am using my friends account as I do not have access to the internet and or a computer.

I've lived at the Knollwood Condos managed by them for over 10 years. I have never been late on my dues until unemployment struck. However, due to unemployment I was late. After coming to a payment agreement they didn't accept my check, didn't respond to emails or phone calls, then their legal team got involved. They gave me no option to repay and stacked the dues until they were almost 40k. Now they are trying to auction my condo. This comes after 10 years of not providing the services we pay for, and constantly changing our manager so emails and phone calls go unanswered.

Good luck trying to get a hold of them. I still have a big hole on my ceiling and I called, emailed, tried all types of way to contact my hoa manager for a month now and she does not bother to even respond to me to give me an update. How would I know what is going on if you do not tell me? Absolutely horrible experience

We have had a great working relationship.

Absolute trash. Have had multiple experiences of break-ins to the storage units in our building and despite contacting Yates multiple times, NO action has been taken to re-key or add security to the building. Poor responsiveness and poor management.
