Jon Berkley Management, Inc.

Jon Berkley Management, Inc. is a Davis-based property management company established in 1979 that handles fee management of several apartment complexes within Davis and touts over 5000 complexes throughout the Sacramento and San Francisco bay area; the firm primarily handles large apartment communities. Though not indicated on the property listing site, JBM established the Davis Rental Hotline — according to JBM-published information, "The website is also used as a [sic] intra-company information service for projects that have no vacancy, to keep rentals in the company." JBM properties offer twelve-month leases, primarily September-September, though this may differ outside the Davis area.

2005-04-22 10:34:59   I lived at Glacier Point for a year and hated it. The management was always rude and was never in the Glacier office. I have lived at Greystone for 2 years now and I love it. Its maintained much better and the office staff are very friendly. —AshleyOrsaba

2005-11-23 12:10:20   I lived at sycamore lane apts. They cut our leases short and threw us out so they could remodel and jack the rent prices up. —MarieHuynh

2005-12-04 18:56:50   I don't think I have had a direct experience with John Berkeley Management Inc., per se, but I have lived in two of the apartment complexes that they manage. The first, Glacier Point Apartments, was terrible and managed by a loathsome old crone. The second, Allegre Apartments, is (ironically) very pleasant and managed by a kind lady who makes cookies for her tenants. —JonGage

2005-12-04 20:05:32   Bev makes cookies? Why did I never see cookies in the four years I was there? —JudithTruman

2005-12-07 17:59:29   Currently, yes she does. I just had two yesterday. M&M Chip. Delicious. —JohnNapier

2006-03-15 22:51:30   lived at saratoga west. I seriously wanted to KILL the people in the office. Old fucking bitches that need to take a dirt nap. went into apartment without our knowledge. READ lease carefully. liers, cheaters, bastards. got 0 of security deposit back. —KeCo

2006-03-16 10:17:19   Check out the Tenant Rights page... if they did not follow the law you can always take them to small claims. County courts have lawyes who advise people when they file claims chek it out here. —JamesSchwab

2007-09-20 13:39:22   Has anyone else called the management's office directly? I don't know what their problem is, but the person who answered was totally rude. No respect at all. I politely asked her some questions and she answered them, but with plenty of attitude. Before I disconnected the phone I heard her blab out the name of the apartment complex I live at, and she didn't sound all too happy about it. Poor service. Maybe she was having a bad day because I hope she's not like that all the time. —Arthur

2009-01-21 10:25:40   hi i am not shure we are talking about the same company. I didn't know any other company so dedicated to tere job as JB i love this company, management is grate. They understand you and you always can call to main oficce and have your problem solved —Vera

2010-09-29 12:37:50   Completely useless management. Manager at Wake Forest is often out for two hours at a time for lunch and the company doesn't care. —rrenati

2011-07-11 12:22:49   I lived in Sorrento for about 7 years. Management there was ok, but we went through a new manager almost every other year. I now live in another property managed by JBM (Tremont Green) and it's a different manager every year. Some ok, some not. —mechee
