I've dealt with a lot of property management companies, all bad b/c it's the nature of the business I think...but...Desert Wide is by far the most unethical and dishonest company (not just prop mng.) I have ever dealt with. Not only did we NEVER know who our manager was b/c they changed it all the time and never told us...every time we called the receptionist was rude and unhelpful...they also made the move out extremely difficult.\r

We were perfect tenants. Always paid our rent on time, no damage to the house, gave appropriate notice upon move out, etc... As a repayment for our cooperation, the inspector completely fabricated lies about the condition of the home. When we addressed our property manager, she ignored our first 5 attempts to contact her, then was completely rude and actually threatened us with FALSE legalities when we finally did speak with her. We'd already spoken with a tenant's advocacy group and they informed us of the law. I guess our manager thought she could just make it up as she went along. But there was nothing we could do about it, because they'd already been so dishonest with us, we were afraid they'd make up more lies about us just to get more money. I would not recommend this company to my worst enemy.
Pros: none.
Cons: dishonest, rude, unprofessional, unethical.
