Fantastic experience: Katheryn, and Elizabeth are awesome! Super knowledgeable, and made my move super easy! Highly recommend!
Thank you, Justin! I'm super glad you picked this beautiful home to rent. It's been a pleasure.
Fantastic experience: Blue Sage is knowledgable, quick and excellent with customer service. I cannot recommend Blue Sage high enough for the great work they do.
Thank you, Michael. It was an honor to manage your family home when you needed it, and a pleasure to manage your rental home.
Fantastic experience: As a property owner, I've been working with Blue Sage for over four years, and I'm happy with them. They not only keep my property in great shape, but they also make my yard look beautiful. The team stays on top of all issues, which makes my life as a landlord stress-free. I've had the pleasure of working with Kathryn, Julie, Sarah, and Rich, and they are all wonderful people. I highly recommend Blue Sage to anyone looking for reliable and professional property management.
Thank you so much! It's a pleasure to take care of you and your home.
Fantastic experience: Blue Sage Property Management has been excellent in both securing a lovely home for us and following up immediately with the inevitable questions that arise when leasing a home. Elizabeth was the first representative we met and impressed us thoroughly with her charm and local knowledge. Owner Kathryn was equally pleasant with her professionalism and exceptional service. We love the online platform Blue Sage uses which makes for crystal clear communication and ease of payment. We would not hesitate to recommend their services.
Thank you, Valentina!
Fantastic experience: Amazing company, I have worked with other companies in the past and did not get the same personal touch I get from here. Kathryn is fantastic, I love her proactive attention to detail, for both the landlord and the tenant.
Thank you, Stormy! Happy to serve!
Fantastic experience: I had an amazing experience with Blue Sage Property Management! Their team is professional, responsive, and truly cares about their clients. They made the entire rental process seamless and stress-free, providing clear communication and prompt assistance whenever needed.
Thank you, Jasmine!
Fantastic experience: In 2023, we were desperate to find a home for our small family. We found a home with Blue Sage and were blessed to meet Kathryn just a day or so later. Within just a few days after meeting, we were able to move in. The process was smooth, fair, and efficient. Since living here, Kathryn and her team have gone far above and beyond to ensure our every concern is addressed immediately, resolved quickly, and done with the utmost respect and understanding. Kathryn herself is undeniably honest, trustworthy, and smart. She has truly made our lives better and continually works to ensure the property is well-maintained and optimally cared for. We love having Blue Sage as our property management company, but we love Kathryn and her team more for the way they make us feel like we are in this together amd we have nothing to worry about. It truly is a miracle that we found her and this little home that we love so much. Blessed beyond measure. Thank you, Kathryn and the team at Blue Sage. We wouldn't recommend anyone else to rent or buy from.
Thank you, Christina. You’ve been conscientious and helpful. We appreciate you!
Fantastic experience: We’ve had a great experience with Blue Sage Property Management! Kathryn and her team have been incredibly professional, responsive, and supportive throughout our time with them. Their communication and dedication to both tenants and property owners truly set them apart. We’re grateful for their support and highly recommend Blue Sage to anyone looking for a reliable and caring property management team!
Thank you, Mark! It was a pleasure to serve you and, wish you the best!
Negative experience: Blue Sage Property Management in Sequim, WA. would not allow me to submit an application for a rental property on their business site after I identified myself as a prior military member. I called on Monday Oct 14, 2024, I was told that the owner would call me back. I did not receive a call from the owner on Monday. I went to the Blue Sage office in person on Tuesday and was told I could not apply at that time and she (Sarah) had to consult with the owner and the landlord. She said "I don't know if they want to rent it". She said she would call me by close of business Tuesday. I did not get called back on Tuesday. I received a call on Wed evening while I was on an airplane, the voice message said she (Liz) just wanted to share that this was a short term rental. I called back on Thursday, I left a voice message and sent a text message that I was aware it was a short term rental and I wanted to submit an application. I did not hear back from anyone on Thursday. On Friday I again called and left a voice message and then a text message. I received a text message later on Friday saying they had already accepted an application from another party. I spoke with Liz after receiving that text, she told me that they do short phone interviews for vetting purposes. I was never informed of this before. Was I interviewed and vetted for some reason without knowing so? She also told me she called several interested parties on Wed evening and accepted an application from the only party that answered her call. She did not leave any of this information in her msg to me on Wed. I contest that Blue Sage Property management in Sequim WA engaged in unfair and unethical business practice. I also contest that they engage in discriminatory behavior. Complaints will be filed with the State of Washington
Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns. We genuinely apologize for any miscommunication regarding the application process. Our intention is always to be transparent and fair. We understand your frustration and appreciate your feedback, as it helps us improve our communication and procedures. If you’d like to discuss this further, please reach out directly, and we’ll do our best to address your concerns.
Fantastic experience: Kathryn and her team are very knowledgeable and communicative. They helped us find good tenants for our home, and all the while they dot their I's and cross their T's. Highly recommend!
Thank you, Susie! I appreciate your confidence in us!
Fantastic experience: Kathryn & the Blue Sage Property Management team have been fabulous to work with! They took care of all arranging paperwork, applicant screenings, finding the ideal tenant, and are wonderfully communicative! Working with them has been a great experience and such a blessing to me.
Thank you, Lori. It's been a pleasure to work with you, too!
Fantastic experience: As a remote landlord, I have been dealing with Blue Sage for over 5 years now. In the past, I have dealt with other property management companies in other parts of the country. I would put Blue Sage at the top of the list of all the property management companies I have dealt with. They are professional, well organized, communicative, detail oriented, well informed of changing legislation, etc. I believe they also do a good job of communicating with the tenants to handle any issues which have come up. For example, la couple of years ago the heat pump went out and Blue Sage was able to quickly get multiple quotes and secure an installer so the tenant would not suffer in a cold house. Monthly, and at the end of each year, I receive a nice detailed summary of repairs, expenses, rental income, etc. which I can turn over to my CPA for tax preparation.
Thank you, Gary! It's a pleasure to help.
Fantastic experience: I have had the best experience working with Joe Tyler from Blue Sage Property management. When I first contacted him to start renting our house out, I was a emotional wreck as for i just lost my dad and Joe was so caring and understood and worked with me on getting the house ready to be rented out. Joe and the staff took the initiative on getting all the repairs done and got it rented out in less than a month. Joe has been excellent in communicating with me and i highly recommend Blue Sage.
Amy, it's a pleasure to be of service. Thank you!
Negative experience: The house was dirty when we moved in and they charged us a cleaning fee when we moved out pulled garbage from the neighbors yard into ours when we were moving out and charged us for the clean up there’s never any one at the office to talk to go though some one else
Hi Mr Winans. The yard constitutes any area from the fence onwards. Yes we hauled out a mattress, old oil and a fender that weren't there when you moved in. We advise our tenants to make appointments if they want to meet a particular person. The move in condition report shows no problems with cleanliness and was signed by all parties. If our tenants have a complaint about the move out, they are encouraged to do it in writing, not arguing over the phone or resorting to social media complaints.
Fantastic experience: I rented from them for a little less than a year in Sequim. They're house was by far the most affordable in the area. The house accommodated my wife, one year old, and our dog while we were in the process of having our house built. During that time there were minor problems with the house, including the AC unit that stopped working, and a rat problem in the basement area. During both instances, Blue Management responded promptly and arranged for a handyman or pest control to fix our complaints. Additionally, one time I locked myself out of the house and Blue Sage was able to get me back in, which was much appreciated. After our house was built, we ended up having to break our lease. Blue Sage was understanding of us having to break our lease and made the transition smooth for us. My only complaint is that at some point I was busy and had forgotten to take care of the lawn, as a result we got a letter on the doorstep reminding me to mow the lawn, the following rent for the month ended up being more simply because I neglected the lawn maintenance for a short time. I felt that this instance could have been handled better, I would have appreciated simply getting a phone call or email reminding me that mowing is the responsibility of the renter. Additionally, charging me extra rent for that month seemed a little aggressive in my opinion, especially considering that this was at a time of year when the most of the lawn was brown and dead anyways. Other than that single instance, I don't have any complaints.
Thank you, Erik. It was good to have you. The State of Washington has tied our hands on how to act when there are lease violations. The excessive paperwork takes time and therefore there was a fee involved. I appreciate your thorough review.
Fantastic experience: Fast and honest
Thank you!
Fantastic experience: We trust Blue Sage to manage our property. Kathryn has been nothing but fair and honest. She has always gone above and beyond for us. I highly recommend Kathryn and her team at Blue Sage to anyone.
Thank you, Brigette. We have had challenges this past year, hoping for an Uneventful 2022!
Fantastic experience: Blue sage is a professional company. We have been impressed by Kathryn and her team’s professional approach in managing our property while being respectful of the tenant. Her attention to detail, communication skills and her speed of response are the key highlights of the 2 years we have worked for her. We have recommended The Blue Sage team to friends who have moved recently to Sequim and they share this sentiment. It’s great working with you and keep it up
Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Kathryn MacGeraghty and her staff have my full support based on their diligent efforts in these difficult Co-Vid times! They are great communicators and very professional!!! Thank you Kathryn and your team for all that you have accomplished and continue to manage for me! Best Regards, Steve Hansen
Thank you, Steve!
Negative experience: Update: I have updated this review with some evidence to the shenanigans of Blue Sage. The property had to be re-cleaned and still was not to their own standards and had a damaged appliance that had to be replaced, apparently these were just too many issues for Blue Sage to manage. In other attachments you can see that Katheyn at Blue Sage charged us $100 to provide us with a written revision to our lease that was initiated by the homeowner due to their change in circumstances. It was added to our folio. All leases (and common sense) require that changes to a lease contract be in writing, yet she wanted me to just take her at her word? I had to get an attorney to have the charge removed and get the written documentation signed. Total headache....avoid at all costs. Our experience with Blue Sage Property Management, specifically Katheryn MacGeraghty began a year ago in October 2020 when we rented a house managed by her company. There were a few minor issues with the cleanliness of the home at our initial walk-thru. In trying to rectify these matters, and others that came along the way throughout the year we were there, it seemed there was not good communication between her staff people and herself. Kathryn's attitude when I contacted her directly or when she decided to become involved was dismissive, curt and unprofessional. Short one liner emails, only responding to part of a question and a general attitude that we were a bother to her was the status quo for working with Katheryn. This continued throughout our lease term any time we had an issue that needed attention outside the scope of a renter. At one point we had to involve our attorney to reverse a $100 charge for a Lease Amendment that was proposed by the Owner of the home when they needed to return to Sequim from overseas earlier than planned and wanted their house back. As homeowners and landlords ourselves (we own a home that we rent in Thurston County) I really appreciate the communication we receive from our tenants when there is something that needs our attention. As a real estate agent myself, in an industry that is built on service to customers, I have been appalled with her behavior and would never recommend anyone work with Blue Sage Property Management or Brigadoon Rentals. It was only after we received our full security deposit returned to us that I felt I could leave this review without worrying about possible backlash.
Rebecca Robert was never satisfied in her luxury home. On a regular basis she wrote multi-page complaints. If I responded, she seemed to write 3 more emails. I could not keep up. Perhaps she had nothing better to do than to bully, harass and threaten, both me and the landlord. I would never recommend Rebecca Robert for any business dealings.
Her worry that I might withhold her deposit is ridiculous and insulting. I could have bet the ranch that she was going to go to social media. She also had a friend of hers give a bogus 1 star review. I'm just relieved she moved out when she was supposed to, allowing the landlord to move back in on schedule.
Fantastic experience: What can I say about these amazing human beings. Very helpful. Very quick. Beautiful home! Thanks blue sage!
Thank you, Brianna!
Negative experience: Kathryn is not responsive to contact and rude when she does bother to reply. I don't know why this woman thinks she has the right to talk to people like she does. I guess that's why she needed to claim welfare for her business? Avoid this company by any means. There are much better in the area that don't rely on our taxes to stay afloat.
I don't know this person, and vice versa. If he knew me he would not be writing this.
Fantastic experience: Very professional extremely easy to deal with thank you
Thank you!
Fantastic experience: As a homeowner, I would recommend Kathryn and Blue Sage Property Management to those looking for a management company. We purchased a retirement home two years ago, a little ahead of our retirement, and wanted to lease it until we were ready to move. We live out of state, and had some concerns about leasing from a distance. Kathryn came at the recommendation of our realtor. From our initial meeting, she has been professional, knowledgable, and responsive. Blue Sage has managed our property well, taking care of any maintenance and tenant -related issues. Kathryn is a strong and vigorous advocate for the owner while being fair to the tenant. The monthly statements are reports are timely and accurate. Our investment has been well cared for. Blue Sage has my highest recommendation.
Thank you! It was an honor to entrust me with your retirement home!
Positive experience: Thanks for keeping us all updated on the housing market for property owners and the laws effecting home owners. Very professional, keep up the great news letters.
Thank you, Scott!
Fantastic experience: I would like to thank JOE and the whole team at blue sage very very quick to handle and fix any problems with the house. Only property management i will ever go through. Thank you once again
David, thank you so much for your public vote of confidence! Don't hesitate to let us know when the home needs maintenance.
Fantastic experience: Their service to property owners was great and I assume the tenant service is equally good as I have had repeat renters for some time now and short transition times when there was a change in tenants. A great experience!
Thanks, Jim! It was a pleasure to take care of you nice condo for several years. Your tenants were usually quiet and let us know about issues pretty quickly as they came up.
Fantastic experience: Kathryn is excellent to work with and very responsive.
Thanks Sky! Glad you moved into town to set up business
Fantastic experience: We have only been renting with Blue Sage for a few months and they have been great. We had a issue and they went above and beyond to resolve this issue. They were extremely quick with there responses and just as fast dispatching someone to come to our home. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking to rent. They have been the BEST property management company we have worked with. Thank you Blue Sage and keep up the amazing customer service!!!!
Thank you, Kevin. We are very interested in a swift conclusion to your unusual problems!
Fantastic experience: Kathryn has high standards for the quality and care of the units and homes in her charge. She follows everything "by the book" and always ensures that both tenant and landlord entitlements are being met. If you're looking for a responsible and no nonsense person to manage your rental property Blue Sage is the way to go!
Thank you, Elizabeth! You're the best!
Fantastic experience: Over the past two years in working with Kathryn, I have found her to be incredibly honest, fair and trustworthy. Her integrity sets her apart from others. I would recommend Blue Sage for anyone looking for a professional property manager
Thank you for your review, Kim. Working with you has been a pleasure.
Fantastic experience: I have been with Blue Sage for several years now. They are thoroughly professional, with a dash of humor on occasion. I would recommend them.
It's been a pleasure to work with you too, Helen! I enjoy planning and executing improvements each year.
Fantastic experience: Katherine and her office helped me in a very time sensitive situation when I was out of town. They got the home quickly rented and tennants worked out very well for a difficult short term lease. Thanks Katherine and crew
Thank you for your review, Gerry! I'm glad we could help your transition to the peninsula!
Fantastic experience: Kathryn and her team are my lifesavers! Living across the country makes it difficult to manage a property, so I have peace of mind knowing that Blue Sage is there for me :)
Thank you! I appreciate how much you care about your property.
Negative experience: I would not give a star to Blue Sage Property, but I had to. Kathryn and her husband are very unprofessional and the rudest people I have ever met. I rented from another property management before Kathryn took over. I had been a resident for over 2 years and never had any problems brought to my attention. When Kathryn took over she immediately raised my rent so high I could not sign another year lease( my income was not 3xs more than rent at that point) Kathryn would also consistently leave 3 day eviction notices for thing's such as not sweeping the front porch. Kathryn proceeded to evict me and take me to court because I could not sign another year lease. I won in court and did not get an eviction on my record. Kathryn then tried to take me to collections, to try to get me to pay for cleaning, yard work, and court. I was refused a walk thru with Kathryn to remedy any problems, so I could get my deposit back. Needless to say I never got my deposit back and was homeless for 4 months.Her lawyer even made the comment she was the most unreasonable person he had ever met. I Would never want to cross her path in life again! PS check out Kathryn and Blue Sage in Colorado...too bad she had to come here to the PNW. Kathryn also has a video of how an eviction goes down in her world. It's like you're being attacked by a shark, very gruesome and sad!! Left me sick! Kathryn would like to say that I was evicted for not paying rent however that is not the case. I tried to pay my rent and it was declined by Kathryn. I was no longer in the house when going to court so there for there was no eviction. I was told by court that I did not owe her anything because she was keeping my deposit and declining a walk through. I find it hard to believe I lived in the house for over 2 years with no problems until Kathryn took over the property. Kathryn keeping telling yourself that, I'm sure it makes you feel better, however you know what the truth is. You don't like being you.
Rhiannon was evicted for non-payment of rent. I understand that she would be unhappy about that, and the balance that is still due. I truly doubt my lawyer would say that, etc. She agreed to give up possession at court.
Fantastic experience: Kathryn is very professional, personable, and efficient! Knows who/how/what needs to happen and gets the job done. I have worked with other property management companies that talk the right talk, but as we all know, it is the follow through that counts.
Thanks, Laura. You've been a pleasure.
Fantastic experience: Highly courteous, professionally, and friendly service, from the application process to after the move-in. Strongly recommend!
Thank you for the kind words Amanda. Happy to help!
Fantastic experience: Kathryn is wonderful! She helped my family and I find a wonderful home here in PAWA in March. Finding dog friendly, reasonable housing can be a challenge, but Kathryn pulled through! She was a great advocate for us and our dogs with the private landlord. As expected, we had a small list of maintenance repairs upon moving in - Kathryn made arrangements and everything was taken care of in record time! Blue Sage is a great company - I enjoy having an online portal to pay rent, create maintenance requests, and keep track of records. Highly recommend!
Thanks, Ben. I am happy to be of service. We have high standards for our residents, and you guys rock!
Fantastic experience: What a joy to meet Kathryn MacGeraghty of Blue Sage Property Management. My parents were looking for investment property. Kathryn was instrumental in their decision process. She was a wealth of information and education along the way. Her professionalism and kindness made the process easy and enjoyable. Thank you, Kathryn!
I was honored to meet up with your parents, Susan! I hope to serve them in the future.
Fantastic experience: If you are a home owner with an investment property, THIS is the company you need to hire. Kathryn makes sure each property is maintained and respected, and she truly has your best interest at heart.
Thank you, Jennifer! Jennifer is on my cleaning team, does a great job, and is easy to work with.
Fantastic experience: Recently we were searching for a rental home and were shown several by Kathryn MacGeraghety of Blue Sage Property Management. Kathryn was extremely knowledgeable about the area and showed us properties that met our needs. Her professionalism and willingness to go a bit further with her time for us was greatly appreciated. We will happily recommend her to others who are looking for homes.
Thanks Freeda, it was a pleasure to help you. Looking forward to your move to the Olympic Peninsula!
