From: Homer Dodge [mailto:homerdodge@.....deleted for client privacy.] Sent: Tuesday, August 03, 2010 4:56 PM To: BCI - Don Leske; Amber Prentice; Troy; BCI Emily Leske Subject: 4 feelings Hello everyone, Feelings: (....after too much initial owner involvement in screening, maintenance etc..., which should have beeen left up to BCI management services.) 1 - BCI acquires higher quality renters faster than any other property management firm or our own efforts. We absolutely depend on the service levels that BCI Rentals delivers. 2 - The happenstance clustering of turn-over's is just hitting us hard financially. (7 rental properties, 3 vacancies) It is vital to us that we minimize the number of days vacant on the personal properties in particular. 3 - We felt we asked the right "stability" questions to the 2-month wonders in 14724A. (owner involved in screening) We feel snookered by their answers. Their "motel" behavior rolls me in the mud. We found that we needed to change from a month-to-month to a 1-year lease belief. (as BCI recommended initially) Changing this policy will pretty much eliminate this problem. (....naturally.) 4 - We greatly value the openness of BCI. We always feel welcome to talk, vent, push, suggest and cry. For that, we are grateful. Sometimes we fail to express it. You are all doing superior work and it is appreciated. (...past PM company was a disaster.) Communications: It is always better if Susan is involved in these discussions. I will pass your e-mail on to her.Point of difference between BCI and Homer: I feel that as soon as a renter gives notice, we should begin immediate ads. We have quality stock photos available for every unit. Our paradigm: Holding a unit off the market until it is perfected maximizes vacancy days. As always, Susan and I will flog ourselves to support the fastest turn-around times possible (fleas excepted). Thank you, Homer |

To: Amber Prentice Subject: Re: we have a renter! Don, Emily, and Amber, First and foremost, we would like to thank you all for being so helpful and patient with us during this entire process. Initially we were shocked to see BCI offering to manage properties at such a low rate compare to competitors. But after our first meeting with Don we soon realized the genius to the BCI business model. My wife and I are military and purchased our home in 2006. Being military it was only inevitable that we would have to move, and luckily we landed in paradise (Hawaii). Well, in the current housing market selling our home wouldn't have been a very lucrative endeavour so we decided to rent in order to build a little more equity before cashing in. We searched high and low for the best management situation for our investment both economically and business wise. Little did we know that our search would lead us to find that the best management situation would also end up being the fiscally smart choice as well. Don, Emily, and Amber took very good care our us, guiding us through this every step of the way. They were able to find us two reliable tenants to choice from in under 3 weeks and our home rented for exactly what we expected. We can't say enough about BCI as a thoroughly organized family business. Their overall goal is customer satisfaction which is evident in the testimonials you see here today. They do an excellent job of ensuring everything is accounted for from maintenance to payments. They ensure every applicant is screened and seek home owner approval prior to all move ins. And most importantly they take pride in ensuring your home is in excellent condition before a tenant moves in and out of your investment. Don really gets it! BCI can afford to offer the best rates because they manage more properties than any other company in the region, they maintain positive relationships with home owners, tenants, and maintenance companies, and they do far more with less payroll. Don, as you already know we have a great amount of respect for you and a fond appreciation for BCI as a family business. You are truly a genius and are very lucky to have such a beautiful and magnificent wife like Emily to keep the books in order for over 170 properties. Thank you Emily for everything and being so prompt with the payments. And last but certainly not least, thank you Amber for being so patient and kind with us. Not to mention the fact that you were able to find two competing tenants in under 3 weeks. How bout that for customer appreciation...lol. Thanks and "warm" wishes, Darryl and Dalani -----

Subject: Re: repair of door / Dolly Madison
Re: Front door was vandalized on your rental home. We fixed
it right away with a stronger dead bolt, using the SmartKey system.
The door knob was not really secure because of the glass next to it that anyone could have broken out. Cheap fix and all is good. Reply: Wow, really? And that used to be such
a nice neighborhood! Do you think there should be additional security
lights outside? Did the tenants get the security code to set up the
system themselves? By the way, those French doors are old, so (be
careful) the glass is pane and doesn't crumble.
Thanks for the quick response on
this! Then again, you guys always have great service!! We are so glad
we chose BCI Properties!
Thanks Don!

- Highly recommended! - as posted on Merchant Circle.I switched to BCI because I was desperate with my previous agent. I was so surprised on how thoughtful and efficient Don is. The day I signed the contract he immediately went to inspect the property, change the lock, did a walk through and provide me a bunch of photos on the damage the evicted tenant did. He always communicate to me what he is doing so that I feel my property is in good care. His documents are very clear and very detail so that you know where the money goes. For owners that are not living in the area, this is the kind of agent you can entrust your property with. September

Subject: Which property management company to pick
Don, "I was planning on relocating from Lakewood, WA to Fort Worth, TX. I did my due diligence and contacted some property management companies in the area, one of which was BCI Properties. The other company wanted to charge me a list of fees including a percentage of the first month's rent up front, applications fees, etc. On top of that, the maximum rent that they were looking to charge tenants was significantly lower than what BCI Properties recommended. I decided to go with BCI and have been happy with them ever since. Don and Emily filled my vacant home quickly at the full rental price. I don't think that it sat vacant for a single month. They have always billed me in a timely and appropriate manner. When there is a maintenance issue, they get it fixed for the best rates available. Additionally, they always give candidly wise advice. Anyone looking to lease their home in the Tacoma area should give serious consideration to hiring BCI properties to protect their investment."
Have a great day Don, and give my best to Emily.

BCI has been an excellent property management solution for our [Multi-unit] apartments. They have consistently had great communication, been proactive in solving tenant problems, and above all, cost-effective. I know many owners who pay a lot more money for far less service than I have gotten from BCI.

To whom it may concern; BCI Properties, LLC has been a
great company to work with. It has taken a lot of stress off of
me in renting out my condo. I am so glad I went this direction
rather than managing my rental on my own. They have been available to
me whenever I have needed them in any questions or concerns I have had.
I researched before choosing BCI Properties and they are by far
the most affordable and it has been a pleasure working with them.

Subject: Re: feedback
Don, as you know I was forced to foreclose on this property to satisfy a judgment. I did not want to own this home. I had a builder clean up, carpet, and paint the inside of
the house to sell. After several months I had no offers. I
then to chose to rent it, also with no interest.
So I contacted you to see the capabilities to rent
it. As I have cancer I had not been able to view the property
myself. You took a personal interest in the house, gave me a bid
on bringing it up to rental standards, handled the purchase of needed
appliances, blinds, etc. and placed the home on the market.
It rented immediately to a very grounded family who have
been extremely good tenants. Don, as I said you did this all
without our meeting, just on your word. I would recommend you and
your firm to anyone in my predicament.

"After interviewing several Property Management companies, we came across BCI Properties. We were so impressed with Don and Emily's experience and expertise, not to mention their friendly yet direct manner, that we signed up on the spot. We are glad we did! Our property has not sat vacant for less than a week. Don and Emily quickly respond to issues from both the tenant and us the home owner with professionalism. We are very glad that we have people we can trust managing our property. I recommend them to everyone!"

When I was searching for a property management company, I sent
out several emails to many companies at one time. The only one to
respond to me within a short timeframe was Don Leske at BCI
Properties. I knew with such a timely response, this was someone
who was going to pay attention to my needs and assist me with renting
out our house. And their fees were so reasonable compared to
other companies. He is always easy to reach and responds to
my calls and emails quickly and efficiently. I never have
to worry about my home because it's in the best possible hands with Don
Leske and BCI Properties. |

Dear Don and Emily, I am writing to you on my daughter's computer. I love
living in Cal. Thank you for renting my house so that the move was made
possible. I appreciate your lowered fees and your good attitude
on my behalf. Please keep in touch, especially if there are any
problems reported by the tenant. It was good to hear from you.
Sincerely,
Nancy Wells
