The guy Devon Walden is a complete fraud and a shyster. He's no real estate investor. He's no credit repair guy. What he is,, Is a complete ConMan. He takes your money via Zelle and you'll never hear from him again. When you call him out he will give you only an arrogant unprofessional excuse when ...
Problem tenants are given a slap on the wrist, even after multiple complaints from a variety of people. Devon properties care only about money. You pay stupid amounts of rent for basic accommodation. I will never, EVER, live in a Devon apartment again.
I would really like to see a section on the Devon Property Management site that recognizes the onsite building managers. The onsite managers are every bit as important as property management companies. I've been a tenant at the Emerald Green Apartments for several years, I've seen different manager...
Worst company I have ever dealt with in my entire life. Had money stolen from me and had mould in two separate Devon residences I stayed in. The management is some of the worst and they all have an arrogant attitude. You will regret renting any of their residences, be warned. (Devon will ignore all ...
My partner and I rent at V1488 and we have had no help dealing with the gym that opened in the commercial space below us. We are woken up every single morning at 6am to constant banging and this has been going on since Sept. 10th. Devon Properties continues to ignore this major issue and has only co...
I have been living/renting at Lakehill Villa on Quadra for 2 years now and happy i chose this Building to live in. It is located within walking distance to many amenities. Building is kept clean and secure by Joe Russell and he is very easy to get ahold of when issues arise. The Management is quick...
Devon took over management of our building on Douglas Street last year. It is one of the "infamous" Starlight buildings, with renovations that have been completely mismanaged. I thought that perhaps Devon would make a better effort than the previous firm, and would keep us informed. Instead, it is w...
Had an amazing experience with attentive and friendly service by our landlord, Mark, at Woodridge Manor. The place was so nice and clean when we moved in and Mark was easy to get a hold of, quick to do repairs and very communicative. Would rent from properties under this management again!
It has been 30 years since I have rented. Devon has made the process user friendly. They have been efficient, friendly and transparent. A big shout out to Gord for helping to make the move from the Lower Mainland so effortless for me.
I've always rented and Devon Properties is by far the best I've had. Always prompt to fix any situation.
I'm happy.
Great management but office has no wheelchair access
My wife and I are both military, and we were posted to CFB Esquimalt, and needed to find a place for the 111th of April. We came across Crossing at Belmont a month before we were supposed to be going to Victoria for our house hunting trip, my wife contacted Devon Properties as this property really c...
I ve renting with Devon Properties for more then 5 years and very satisfied with their professionalism and quick response to any issues. Managers live on site and are always here to help with maintenance or other questions. Apartment building is quite old, but rooms are very spacious and bright.
Just terrible, overpriced everything and appliances that look like they were installed before women had the right to vote. I spent a terrible year in the apartments at lochside in saanichton, and got in several disagreements with the property management who has no regard for tenants rights. Now tha...
I live in a DEVON building going on almost 3 years and it has been nothing less than fabulous. The new manager Jordan is a godsend - friendly, patient, helpful, always follows up - and the people in the building are always so nice. The building is spotlessly maintained and they allow pets which is...
I started renting through Devon Properties recently and am very happy with my decision. Despite being a company that manages many buildings and units, I have been treated exceedingly well and always attended to promptly.
My leasing specialist; Jina Chai was incredibly diligent and helpful in fin...
Very professional, took good care of me during the process and the apartment exceeded my expectations!
We lived in a lovely building owned by a very attentive if sometimes intense landlord, but things were good. We were on this soon to be illegal self-terminating lease but the landlord always kept to the maximum legal rent increase each year, he only used the self terminating lease to get rid of dis...
We have been so pleased with our Resident Manager at the Haida, Joseph. He is friendly and professional and very quick to provide good help when we've had questions or requests. Thank you!
Went to a viewing of a place thought it was wonderful and called back a few hours later to start the signing process. Property manager had me send my details (name number email) to his personal phone # and personal email and didn't want to meet for me to get him the info.
This happened on a Frida...
The level of service provided by Devon Properties has been great, in particular the interaction with Talina and Tasha. The move in process was seamless. Our building is well maintained and any issues that have come up have been actioned by our property manager in a timely manner. If the time comes t...
My building moved over to Devon from David Burr, and I got a letter saying that Devon would be in contact with me. Nobody ever contacted me, so I left a VM asking how I could pay my rent electronically; because like most people, I have a job, and being open until 4 means I can't get there. Nobody re...
Recently signed a lease with Devon Properties, my girlfriend and I have had to complete the application process via email, due to COVID-19 and we were in great hands, Jordan Black walked us through the entire process, caught any mistakes of ours and communicated very efficiently. Very professional. ...
Extremely professional, humble and have helped my in the best way. Very contented to have their services.
I ve had the best experience with Devon managers at "The Haida" building on 1165 Yates Street, Victoria, BC! I wish to thank them for their swift action to correct a recent plumbing leak from our suite in to the neighbouring suite below. There has been a 6+ year history of excellent resident manager...
Awful company. My suite was entered illegally without notice to start a repair then not completed. 5 months later the repair still hasn t been completed and when I raised this the manager was incredibly rude and defensive. Getting them to spend any money on repairs is like getting blood out of a sto...
If you are looking to move into the Lord or Lady Harley be aware the cars in the lot are commonly broken into and Devon refuses to put up cameras to protect against this. instead they direct you to the police who can do little without camera evidence.
Easily the best rental experience that I've had in this town. Our building has an on-site manager who is active and responsive. The building is well kept, and while it does show it's age the are constant renovations and improvements going on in the building.
I had a superb experience getting into an apartment with Devon Properties, specifically Leasing Associate Jordan Black. From the time I found the apartment online to when I was handed the keys, Jordan was absolutely professional, responsive, and perfectly accommodating. I was looking to move in as s...
THE WORST PROPRETY MANAGEMENT EVER IF YOU'RE NOT FROM TOWN DONT EVEN TRY TO DEAL WITH THEM WASTE OF TIME
"Goodacre towers" (350-360 Douglas) and their bldg managers are slap in the face. Devon's slumlords apparently employ ex-prison guards as caretakers to intimidate tenants. These arrogant thugs who live off our rent will treat you worse than your worst employer ever did. The never-ending construction...
Currently living at Market Green (Devon Properties) and it is one of the best managed/maintained building in my opinion. Building manager Joe is so very responsive to any issues I have and follow up to make sure everything is resolved. I am very happy with my unit and will recommend Devon and Joe ...
So far so good. 1 year in. Professional management. Clean buildings.
Absolute garbage. I was subletting an apartment after returning from a trip to Iceland, no Icelandic banks would deposit the money in the company's account. They threatened to evict the owner of the place I was subletting when I told them I could not deposit the money until I returned to Canada. The...
we are tenant the #409 of building 4038.we are really satisfied of behavior and activity of Mrs Iora and Mr Jef. we hope they continue the job in this building.
We rented from Pembroke 830 for almost 6 months now and have had an excellent management experience so far :) The manager, she is a kind and professional one trying hard to work out the problems I have as a tenant. The Broken fridge and leaking water were solved in no time! I want to Thank her for ...
Found them to be poorly operated and they created a very unwelcome living environment based on a property management clerical error. No apology or effort made to rectify the situation even after back up was provided from our bookkeeper.
My experience is with David and Reed and they are both fantastic individuals. These are the people I want to do business with.
In looking for a rental property, I met several Devon's agents and they were great. Super helpful, friendly and professional.
I did rent a Devon property and I had great experiences all throughout the process from application to paying the first month's rent and deposit. The property manager was wo...
I have to say it has been absolutely a positive experience dealing with Gordon Wilson and Devon Properties. They have made me feel welcome and individually important upon any request I have made. I feel as though they actually value my tenancy. I see Gordon frequently showing other suites. Always re...
Rick Hannibal has provided great service over the years! Thanks Rick!
My building was managed by Cornerstone properties up until very recently when Devon Prop took over and since then I have not been able to make any contact with the new building manager despite 3 attempts, always leaving my name and number and asking for a call back, still no reply. I have found a ne...
Frustrated with the constant Devon sign. Cannot move easily through website
They do not return phone calls. I was looking to rent from them and had questions about my application. I left numerous messages with the rep I was to get in contact with. Never heard from them. I've asked around about Devon Properties and word is they are the worst. What atrocious ...
If you're not in Victoria, don't bother trying to sign lease with them over email, they don't take you seriously. I have done that many times with no hassle but not with Devon. Building manager asked my email address to send me application forms but never did, when I called back he never picked up f...
Gordon from Devon properties is humble and friendly in nature.He is the person who helped us in looking for a perfect home that is appropriate for our need.
We rented from Gordon Wilson, a fine gentleman and a great agent. Gordon was punctual, courteous, and very professional; he had 6 or 7 apartments lined up for us to view and every one of them for our wish list . It was hard to choose. Gordon helped facilitate the application process while I was ou...
Building manager Mark is amazing, friendly, and very caring. Anytime there is problem he is fast and more than happy to get it handled. Clean and quiet apartment at a fair price. Thank you Devon Properties!
I live at 1022 Pandora and Donna is our manager. I have told her she is the best manager on the planet. Any and every repair she had dealt with promptly and efficiently, always staying in touch with me as to the where, what and when. I recently picked up an overpayment at the Devon Properties office...
well in my eyes they are slum lords in a nice office, they JACK and SQUEEZE every friggin legal penny they can out of there tenants while spending the legal minimum to upkeep there buildings in witch the reside.
I think they believe they are a bank. They treat you like you are trying to take out a loan with them and not rent an apartment. Last thing they want to do is help people find a place to live.
Devon Properties has been great. My building manger Joe Russel is awesome and anything that needs fixing gets done right away.
Purchased the building I live in currently, threw some stainless steel appliances in, and begins increasing the minimum rent from 900 to 1200. They did the same for the last building I lived in. (Also both the cheapest buildings in Nanaimo.) You would think having local owners would be an improvemen...
I was so glad when my building owners asked Devon to manage the building I live in. I always felt that I would be more secure with Devon, especially now with the housing crisis. Our building and grounds are kept up very well, everything is managed very well. I hope Devon continues to keep up the gre...
I've lived in two different Devon properties now, and couldn't ask for anything better! Everything starting from the renting process to daily living in the apartment is so smooth, uncomplicated and convenient - a godsend for someone new to the country like me. The excellent building managers Devon e...
My wife and I just rented a beautiful suite at 1488 cook st. A process that was made very pleasant and easy thanks to Alam. He was responsive, professional, and personable throughout the application process. We can't thank you enough Alam!

Jan Maclean (not sure about the spelling of her last name), was extremely helpful and informative when I called in with questions about our building. My wife and I have two condos under their management.
While we've had some past difficulties with Devon, they were worked out to everyone's satisfa...
Definitely did not have a pleasant experience. High rent for a low quality apartment, would not have been my choice if not for rushed circumstances. Poor cleanliness at the start, then they do their best to milk you for as your damage deposit. Would not recommend if you can help it.
Heartless, and don't give info to tenants, and treat there tenants like garbage, shouldn't say all of Devon mostly just the v1488 team. So unorganized they leave notice of entry on a suite thats empty, and promise to take the cost of move out of people since they never told anyone about the daycare ...
I had a great experience with this company but more importantly the landlord! I rented from Devon for two years and my landlord was Paul Kirkpatrick. I never had a problem that he couldn't handle. He was an awesome landlord, always available when you needed him and just always around in general. I...
We had a hot water tank burst on our first day in unit and it was replaced within two hours. Excellent communication and service.
No one is perfect but Devon is closer than the rest.
Looking for a new place to live is extremely stressful, especially near the end of the month. After viewing some posts online, I fell in love with a unit at 1488 Cook Street. I got in touch with a realtor named Jordan Black from Devon Properties. He immediately connected with me to set up a viewing ...
I terminated my lease early and had to pay $1000 even though my unit was rented out right away. To add insult to injury the cheque for the remainder of my security deposit was invalid. I have filed a complaint with the tenancy board as it now over 15 days. I hope to receive the money I am entitled t...
they were great with me the thing i loved the most is they answer there e mail quickly not like some places who tell me the property is rented and 3 days later its still listed so iam a happy camper
Lived in a apartment managed by devon properties with jeff and laura as the managers and they are good people to work with and they made the move in/out process stress free. Thx
Was walking around and watched the caretaker go through the recycling and take a glass bottle and threw it in the garbage can glass bottles is not garbage and i believe she should be written ip for a review as there are people out there that arent working and rely on the returnables as there job on ...
Devon took over our building a few years ago and continue, and even excellerated the improvements already begun by Proline. The building and suites look great and are very well maintained. The Manager is attentive to any problems reported and keeps the building in tip top shape.
I ve rented from a number of property management companies in Victoria over the last 8 years and Devon Properties is by far the most professional, fair, and quick to respond.
I m now in my second building managed by Devon, and the building managers in both have been nothing but a pleasure to deal...
I have to agree with everyone else, it's an awful company and their upkeep isn't great. Plus they hired a company that mows our lawn at 7:30 am every week and I don't know how others feel about it but for me that's way too early to be woken up by that. Luckily for me, my manager is a decent person b...
I think we have one of the best building manager.
He always care a lot for the building and I see him always working hard and always ready to help the tenant's. His name is Mark Pavia. This is why I give 5 stars.
We have had very good experiences with Devon. We have been in the apartment for two months and we got a new fridge, new kitchen facets with all new plumbing, brand new blinds for the suite, a refinished bath tub. The property managers act promptly to requests. They have just taken over this buil...
Only giving one star because I am forced to.
My partner rented in one apartment for five years, the final few years were managed by Devon and what a decline. When he first moved in his rent was just over $600, which made sense because it was little bigger than a broom closet and right beside the ...
DO NOT RENT FROM DEVON. Extremely unimpressed with this company. Not only was I never given a lease upon move in (received it 35 days after my move in date), but every interaction I had with the building manager was negative. She was rude, condescending and malicious. I deeply regret ever renting fr...
I have rented for over 10 years at Fernwood Manor and continue to rent at this location. Found the management to be very attentive. They have maintained the building to a very good standard. Recently all common areas were repainted and carpeted ( 2015). The sauna had the seating wood replaced (2016)...
We lived in 1488 Cook for 2 years and we've had nothing but negative experiences with Devon. When they schedule blocks of time for maintenance on suites they almost never show up, fire alarm tests were all over the place, our main point of contact was incredibly rude, the rental team continuously li...
I am a new tenant with Devon Properties and so far I have been very pleased with my experience. From the leasing agent Gord Wilson who has demonstrated professional approach, was responsive and sensitive to the personal situation and went well beyond my expectations, to the Property Manager, Gord, a...
The tenant next door to our professional office blasts music during work hours. We have complained dozens of times to Devon, and nothing has been done. Our lease forbids disturbing noises, but obviously Devon does not care. Terrible building managers.
An awful company to deal with. Really poor service overall. Good riddance. Too bad you have to give at least one star, they deserve none.
Rent here if you want a rent increase during the pandemic
Incredibly poor and unprofessional service. Devon Properties was slow to address issues occurring in my rental unit - at times taking up to two months to reply to phone calls or emails. When they did finally address an issue, they'd opt for the cheapest and shoddiest repair possible. Furthermore, De...
Devon Properties has a big variety of suites in Victoria, but I guess I picked the wrong building. The manager at Christmas Hill Suites off Quadra is a maniac. She is always yelling at us about something, she gets really angry and out of hand. It is not just myself and husband, she yelled at the ...
If you're a renter considering a Devon Properties building - do yourself a huge favor and move on, because despite how good the place may seem on the outside, you're in for a world of stress and frustration once you sign that lease. This ownership group is incredibly disorganized and will completely...
I ve lived in Market Green over 2 years and the manager (Joe Russell) is very kind and smile to everyone all the time. I ve faced few problems while I was living and he was quick to fix everything and resolving the situations ASAP. I am glad that I found this place. :) Thank you Devon.
We've lived in a building run by Devon properties for 6 years. They're building upkeep is almost as bad as their coustomer service. At one point a building manager left my bathroom unfiniahed for 3 weeks. More recently we had a plugged drain and a unexperinced building manager showed up and spill...
I'm personally aware of how much work goes into cleaning & maintaining Devon property buildings.
Been living in Pandora Heights happily for 4 years now. The manager here, Andrea, has been extremely attentive and helpful, often going out of her way to solve problems for me. Definitely the most enjoyable landlord I've ever had.
I have had some noise issues with other tenants but Andrea worked ...
The staff at Devon Properties were more than accommodating when looking for a place to live while out of country.
I've had a great experience renting from Devon Properties over the past 2 years. My building manager is extremely helpful and friendly and takes very good care of the building and property. The cost of rent is also quite affordable for Victoria.
Astonishingly dismal, slum lords with a business licence.
My experience while living in one of the rental building of Devon properties has been superb! I would like to especially mention that our building manager Joe Russel was responsive and accommodating. We always got prompt reply and action for any problems or questions we had. Our fridge was making sm...
