Fantastic experience: Lived in one of thier houses during college. The house was in a great location and they were very fair with the security deposit. Would definitely recommend them to other college students.

Negative experience: We had mice constantly and they only covered up the visible holes… with a piece of wood and calk. Someone came in to tour and they knocked once on my door and immediately opened it, I had no pants on. Nice people just wish they helped out or responded to our emails more

Fantastic experience: Terrific service, spoke with Becky on the phone, super helpful and friendly. I have no experience with dealing with an HOA managed by them, but if Becky has any representation of what that experience is like, then it must be good.

Fantastic experience: Awesome, easy, and quick experience! We are grateful for the property. Good communication as well

Fantastic experience: Valley Property Management helped my friends and me find a great property while we were balancing a heavy school workload. They made the process as easy and efficient as possible by scheduling multiple property showings in one visit, which saved us a lot of time and effort. They also simplified the paperwork, so we didn’t have to spend an entire weekend stressing over forms. Overall, the experience was seamless and very helpful.

Fantastic experience: Had a very smooth and simple process with communication, viewing various properties, and was very time efficient. This was my first time working with Valley Property Management and I will definitely lead others into their direction in the future.

Negative experience: Sus that the company suddenly has so many 5-star reviews from “people” who only have 1 review all of a sudden

Negative experience: I would HIGHLY recommend against renting from/working with Valley Property Management. In renting an apartment managed by them for three years, they made it clear that they are a poorly managed and unprofessional company. Here are some of the experiences my roommates and I had during our tenancy under them: Upon move in, we were told the apartment would be professionally cleaned. The bathroom was full of black mold, and the floors were so dirty my socks turned black on the bottom within one day of walking on them. The owner of valley property management entered our apartment with no prior notice, while no one was home. My roommate came back to find both of our doors wide open and someone who we did not know in our living space. Our hot water heater frequently stopped working and would need maintenance to come fix it. This happened once every month or two. No permanent fix was ever implemented. I was applying for a lease somewhere else that required Valley Property Management to fill out a form about my rental history. They did not, even after reminding them, and I was unable to finish applying for the lease. Upon move-out, we were told we would receive our security deposit return within 30 days. We did not. When we did receive it, we were charged extra for a missing cabinet door, that was missing and documented when we moved in. This further elongated the process of getting our security deposit back. These were only some of the examples of poor management and unprofessionalism that we experienced. DO NOT rent from this company, unless you want to experience the same. Edit in response: Maintenance was NOT called for when management entered. You sent out an email apologizing to us and the other tenants AFTER you entered all 4 units without prior notice. I replied to that email voicing our concerns. I have the email chain on record and can provide it if you would like. The place was not left a mess, all of our belongings were removed and the unit was cleaned before the end of our lease. We received our fully owed security deposit balance more towards 40 days after moveout because of your error. Honestly really embarrassing to accuse your tenants of things that were 100% the fault of the property management.

Fantastic experience: Great Experience! Our realtor Caitlin was very helpful and accommodating to what we were looking for in houses. Also, she was flexible and very kind to us, with our frequent questions! Will recommend!

Fantastic experience: Awesome service and a really great variety of properties! Loved Alan, such a lively and kind guy, really made our tours better!

Fantastic experience: ValleyPM has been so great for finding off campus housing! They are incredibly attentive and transparent about everything. I am leasing through them for my junior and senior year and plan to lease again for my masters program. Definitely would recommend!

Fantastic experience: I worked with Alan at Valley Property Management & he was amazing! He sent a spreadsheet of all the houses available that specifically worked for my group along with what each house had! 10/10 experience!!! I couldn't recommend Valley more.

Fantastic experience: Jessica K. was exemplary! She was quick, communicative, pleasant, knowledgeable, and fair, adhering to the organizational mission of first come, first served. I was very impressed with her professional attitude five stars!

Fantastic experience: Jessica and Valley Property have been great! They extremely responsive if any issue arises and get back to us quickly if we have any questions or concerns. The house has become a wonderful, safe, and perfect home for me and my roommates. Had to add to this review - this is our first time renting a home, so that said we are often a little lost on the maintenance or what the house may need based on snow, rain, and general weather. They have gone above and beyond this winter for us. John one of the repairmen and someone who helps take care of the property has been really amazing. He has come in and checked on things when rain or snow is coming and it has taken so much pressure off of us. This kind of service is really amazing because we are four ladies in our 20s, and we don’t have a ton of experience regarding some of these matters. I hear a lot about flooding and issues coming up for people who rent with other students because we often have no idea. Valley Property has taken care of things and checked on things before an issue arises, and this has been really amazing for us considering we are college students. They really care and have shown us that over and over again throughout the last 6 months we have rented with them. Living on your own for the first time can be stressful for both our parents and renters and they really do such an amazing job. we appreciate you all so much! thank you.

Fantastic experience: Working with Valley Property Management made house hunting feel like a breeze!! I worked with Jessica and she was such a big help!! She brought us to multiple different houses and gave us plenty of time to look at the houses. She was very good at communicating with us, which I really appreciated. Everyone at Valley Property Management are so kind and I'd recommend them!

Fantastic experience: He was so nice and friendly. He knew we wanted the house and gave us the forms ahead of time so we had a better chance to get it.

Fantastic experience: Alan was amazing. He was extremely helpful throughout the process. Would recommend to any college students looking for housing.

Fantastic experience: My roommates and I have worked with Jessica for the past year and she has been extremely helpful. We have now rented two different houses from VPM and it has been great, would recommend.

Fantastic experience: So helpful when looking for off campus housing for students. Thank you again!

Fantastic experience: I had an amazing experience with Valley Property Management while working with Jessica. She was very professional and made the overall process quick and easy. I would definitely recommend her and this organization!

Fantastic experience: I have great things to say about valley property management. Jessica was great and made finding a house to rent smoothness. She was timely with her responses and found us great houses to tour super fast. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: We have only lived in our house for about a month now, but Valley Property made it a smooth transition to off-campus living. With issues regarding the house to move into, Jessica has been very responsive and available in helping us seek the maintenance needed.

Fantastic experience: Valley Property Management is the best! Alan helped us find the best house that fit all of our needs and there were so many great options to choose from!

Fantastic experience: Valley Property Management has been wonderful with helping my roommates and I find off campus housing. Alan has been very responsive, he showed us 3 properties that met the criteria we were looking for, and we picked one! It's a big relief to have our housing figured out for next year, we are very appreciative!

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience working with Valley Property Management! We worked with Alan and he was very professional and made the whole process a lot more manageable and easy for us. He listened to all of our needs for housing and gave us tours of many houses until we found the right one. He made the whole rental process a lot smoother and I would definitely recommend working with him!

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough great things about Valley Property Management! Alan and Larry were absolutely amazing—super friendly and incredibly professional. They made the whole process smooth and enjoyable. If you’re looking for top-notch service in real estate, look no further! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Valley Property management has been extremely helpful with searching for a house for the 2025 school year. I personally met with Alan and he was so helpful throughout the whole process and very quick with his responses. The application process is easy and very convenient.

Fantastic experience: Alan is the best! so kind and helped us find the perfect out. best landlord in amherst for sure

Fantastic experience: I have all great things to say about my process getting a house through valley property management. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Fabulous experience!!!! Renting a beautiful house!!

Fantastic experience: We’ve had a great experience with Valley Property Management! We found and toured houses with Allen and he was super helpful and really nice. The application process has been really smooth and simple thus far, and there is a great selection of houses available. I definitely recommend for anyone who wants to rent a house, especially students!!

Negative experience: Basically have a monopoly of properties in Amherst so they can rent HORRIBLE quality housing for high rent. There was lacking communication and when we did receive maintenance and other information it was conveyed in a pretty rude way. Would recommend college students go through an individual landlord because I had a much better experience renting the two years I chose to do that. Edit in response to the reply I received: This was not completely accurate so it seems necessary to elaborate on the lack of communication issue so I’ll explain the situation. We had submitted a form provided by Valley Property Management on which the new tenants signed in agreement to take items/furniture that had been left there when we moved in. Without any communication from Valley Property Management a significant portion of our security deposit was talked from us even though we left it in MUCH better condition than when we first moved in. This was both unfair and, to my knowledge, not even legal. That was one instance of the lack of communication I mentioned above in addition to our concern about loud animals in our walls during our lease which was repetitively ignored. These things are to be expected to some extent when living in college housing but I have lived in three houses in Amherst and would suggest going through an individual landlord over this company.

Negative experience: Once you move in they become passive aggressive narcissists.

Fantastic experience: Alan was extremely helpful in helping us find an affordable and accommodating college lease in such a stressful time. He was super friendly and made us feel comfortable during such a nerve wracking process for college students.

Negative experience: Literally if you can rent from anywhere else, do it. They are not responsive and really take advantage of the fact that students live in the area.

Negative experience: Rented from them for a year. Felt the communication lacking on their part. Had to ask them for warning before maintenance would come to the house. When we asked for the warning, they responded in a passive aggressive manner that we found to be uncalled for. When it snowed, our driveway had not been plowed by 3pm and I emailed asking if they were coming as I had to work at 5. They responded with basically "we have a lot of houses we will get there when we get there." Most recently, we had a portion of our security deposit taken for a paint job in a bedroom. When we asked for confirmation as to what bedroom it was, and expressed concern that this was addressing damage to walls that was there BEFORE we moved in, our emails were ignored and we had to ask multiple times just to receive short and unhelpful responses. We waited weeks and tried multiple times to get an answer from them and all that we got was "it's a very busy time of year" and "there's no way to know." Very disappointed after having rented from them for a year, paying every month on time, being respectful of the property and neighborhood, and not being met with the curtesy of timely response or even a little effort on their part to help us out. It's a shame because they manage so many properties in the area, but if you have an opportunity to rent elsewhere, I would take it.

Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful experience with VPM, and can't recommend them highly enough. Jessica was responsive, efficient, and a pleasure to work with. I was particularly impressed with how much she knew about each apartment--she'd gone out of her way to check in with the current tenants regarding their experiences, including information on utilities and neighbors. She went above and beyond to help me lease my ideal apartment, and made the whole process painless!

Fantastic experience: Alan is very knowledgeable, helpful and trustworthy. For many years, he has helped us find suitable renters and guided us through complex landlord issues. We highly recommend him.

Fantastic experience: Alan was assigned to my account way back in 2006 before he started his own property management practice. He did a great job over the years that I had no problem moving with him when he started VPM 2013. Hard working and always fill the units. I wouldn't hesitate at all to recommend him to any landlord needing the services.

Fantastic experience: Valley Property Management has been managing my 5 properties in Amherst for the past 6 years with courtesy, accuracy and professionalism. Highly recommended to both landlords and prospective tenants. Alan is upfront, honest and takes care of business.

Fantastic experience: I have engaged Alan and Valley Property Management to find suitable tenants for several of my properties, and I am consistently pleased with the quality of tenant applications that I receive, and with the professional approach Alan and the crew at Valley PM use during the entire process of renting my properties. I recommend Valley PM to other landlords.

Fantastic experience: Working with VPM was excellent. They were responsive and helpful. They made it simple for me to get them the necessary deposit and paperwork, and were willing to work to help me secure the apartment I was interested in. Thanks VPM!

Fantastic experience: Alan has been a joy to work with over the past few years. He is a true professional that listens to your needs and then delivers!

Fantastic experience: Jessica was professional, laid back and easy to work with. I would recommend using her services as an agent. I felt completely comfortable having her in my home and she took the time to explain the process to me. Five stars! Thank you Jessica!
