Customer's reviews

We are a unique HOA, with many "out of the ordinary" needs. Our historic building is over 100 years old, with such challenges as antiquated plumbing, knob-and-tube fuse boxes, and insufficient reserves. We are grateful that Distinct was willing to take us on, and have been delighted and relieved to have their financial expertise, procedural recommendations, project management, follow-through, and can-do attitude in a complicated environment. Nora is prompt in responding, and a "dog on a bone" with project completion. You will not find a more meticulous bookkeeper than Rossana. They are always available, and they care. To us, caring means everything. ~ Bonno B
Our company is new to the Santa Cruz multi-residential real estate market. We have built a 17-unit condo project in downtown. Not having an office presence in Santa Cruz, we were very worried about the day-to-day management and Home Owner Association tasks. Nora Brink and her staff at Distinct have come to the rescue and done a fantastic job in every respect, managing the Association and our asset. She is incredibly responsive and diligent, going beyond the 'call of duty' in many instances to solve OUR problems! We would not hesitate to have Distinct manage any other assets that we may acquire in the Santa Cruz market. Vince Sakowski Laurel Street Investors and Laurel Street Commons ~ Vince S
I rented from Distinct Property Management for 2 years, and Nora and her team were amazing! As a college student, it was my first time dealing with rentals, and I was learning as I went. They answered every question I had, and more, all while treating me with respect. Throughout the rental period, they were always prompt with responses and information, giving me advanced notice of any changes to HOA, policy, maintenance, or news. Overall, I would highly recommend renting from them! They made the adjustment to living off campus easy and smooth. If I was still in the area, I would definitely rent with them again. ~ Sarah B
