Dri-Tek Carpet Cleaning has been doing business with Access Property Management since early in 2012. The staff is extremely easy to work with, very professional and maintains excellent communication. Access Property Management is very prompt with payment and gives us plenty of notice when scheduling work. As a small business owner I appreciate the business relationship we enjoy with this company.

Rented one of their houses for 12 months and they were great. Aaron was always super responsive whenever we had an issue with anything. 100% recommend if you're looking to rent in Kalamazoo/Portage.

We lost our house in a fire and needed to relocate quickly. It was a very stressful time and Mary our direct contact person helped to make everything happen smoothly. She, as well as the manager are very prompt in responding to questions and we would recommend their company.

My husband Tim has multiple properties managed by Access. He was left scrambling a bit when his prior management company shut its doors. But Access has come through in a big way, thank you Eddie! We had to invest quite a bit of money last year to comply with Grand Rapids rental certifications, yet Eddie and team were able to get the certifications for multiple years instead of a simple one or two year cert. He also showed a willingness to communicate in a manner Tim needed, which is a huge plus since we are not in the GR area and cannot physically see the properties nor the 'good/better/best' options available to us. But through a solid website, emails, texts, and phone calls things are really going well with Access. Thanks guys!

Eddie and Aaron have been absolutely fantastic to work with! They have been very impressive in their responsiveness and thoroughness. It's very easy to have peace of mind when working with Access Property Management Group. Thank you!

Working as a vendor and with an administrative role I get to work with many Property Management companies. I'd like to mention and acknowledge the professionalism Access Property Management applies to every action & procedure they do and I am completely sure this makes all of their customers and tenants happy. At Anequim we are very glad to have them as partners and we would like to keep working with them for more years to come. A special thanks to Eddie, Jennifer and Aaron.

I rented an apartment from Access Property for two years and they were great. If a problem every occurred it was acknowledged and resolved within a short time frame. Always available for questions and easy to talk to. Had a great experience with them.

I highly recommend Access if you need property managers, it was a breeze to work with Aaron and Eddie. They always respond to my emails instantly, like within seconds, and solve all the tenant issues in timely manner. I never used property managers before so I had tons of questions, they were super patient to answer my questions. Aaron also help me look for more properties in Grand Rapids to buy and go see the properties on behalf of me because I don't live in Michigan unfortunately.

Before I heard about all kinds of horror stories about hiring property managers , now I can say it's all about if you can find good ones like Access.

I like my apartment it's perfect for me and my daughter. the only thing is that is very very very cold in the winter. the old landlord was going to send someone to put in a rug, but never got a chance to do it. she said that would make a huge difference.it would be great if the new landlord would approved for your company to lay one out. please bring it to their attention.other than that as of today everything's on point with my apartment. On onther note the neighborhood is REALLY BAD though, to a point where a few times I thought about moving because of the gun shots and everything bad that happens around here but I know you have no control over that.the rent is high for a nieghborhood like that About eddie and Aaron they both adjnacknowl that things happens and they are both there to work something out with you as long as there's communication they are both very nice n respectful they come right away when something isn't working right as of today I do recommend.

Absolutely Fabulous. Access Property Management Group is possibly the best property management agency I've worked with. They are a unique mix professional and personable. There are always helpful and always go the extra mile for us.They also are excellent when it comes to communication. I am a renter and feel like Access really value and watch out for both the renter and the homeowner. They are timely with their maintenance requests and often go above and beyond my expectations. We are blown away by Access and would definitely use them in the future! I'd highly recommend them to anyone !!!

As a property owner, I have been very happy with this company's management services. Everything is online and easily accessible, and both Eddie and Aaron are extremely responsive if I have questions. My property went from self-managed to making more money even after their fees than I was before. Highly recommended.

I have been an owner with Access for 7 years. They have been fantastic to work with. The get renters quickly, address problems immediately, and are fair priced. Special shout out to Eddie. He is extremely responsive to everything. I would highly recommend using Access.

Great communication and streamlined process. We worked with Eddie at APMG to move into our new home. He was prompt and clear with his communication. We were able to see the home, apply, and move nearly immediately. He was flexible and willing to meet us to make our move in happen. They use technology to make the whole process streamlined and simple, and were quick to respond with phone/email with any concerns we had.

Great company! I live at Boltwood and have had a great year! I would recommend this apartment to anyone who is looking for an apartment! Eddie in the office is very nice and is willing to help out with any problem you might have. Highly recommend!

Great place to live, close to Western, spacious apartments and never had any problems. Staffing agent, Aaron was wonderful to work with and any questions or concerns were addressed immediately.

The apartment complex was very well managed. Requests for repair work were usually taken care of within a day or so. For example, a poorly performing air conditioner was swapped out the next day during a heat wave. We appreciated the courteous maintenance folks.

My wife and I needed to lease our property and had never done such a thing. We were nervous about engaging a property management company as we had heard that they can be a bit aggressive and less than honorable. THIS HAS NOT BEEN OUR EXPERIENCE WITH ACCESS. They, from the start, acted professionally and knowledgeably regarding the handling of my property. In truth, I had the opportunity to either sell the house or lease it with Access and I chose to lease the place because of the excellent engagement of this company. They are made up of ex-military and their honor and commitment is evident in how they run their business. They screen the candidates and only accept tenants that are well reviewed. I highly recommend this service.

Access Property Management is the top property management company in West Michigan. They are constantly growing and adapting their company, processes and systems to benefit their clients in the best possible way. Their attention to detail and communication are exceptional. If you are looking for a headache free service for managing your properties, Access Property Management is a no-brainer decision.

Our family was having financial troubles, so we moved out of our 3-bedroom house and in with family. Our house was worth less than we owed, so we couldn't sell it to get out of the mess.

We hired Access PM Group to rent it out. They put a sign up while we were cleaning and painting, and wthin a week they found me an excellent tenant that keeps the house cleaner than I did! I have a fenced yard and allow pets (for an added fee), so there was demand for this type of rental.

Access PM Group only takes 10% off the top for 11 months of the year, then about half in the month of the annual lease renewal. For this, they handle all advertising, interviews, leasing paperwork, rent collection (through an online portal), conformance with local/State/Federal leasing laws and even evictions, if it comes to that. Every few years, I am responsible to arrange for the City Inspection, something that is required for all rentals in Wyoming, but they could probably do that as well.

With the 90% we receive, we are able to make our house payment and maintain the property, but not much more. Maybe I should raise the rent every year, to keep up with current market prices, but I'm not good at doing that. In 2035 the house will be paid off, then we will definitely have it as a source of passive income, which we will use to buy another property.

Access PM Group has their own maintenance team to handle emergency calls from the tenant and do small jobs, like changing HVAC filters or troubleshooting other issues. They will even arrange for contractors to come in to do professional repairs, notifying me if the repair is going to exceed $300. All repair costs are taken from the monthly settlements, so it is a "hands off" kind of business for me. I have very little direct contact with the tenant.

My wife and I plan to purchase another property or two before retirement. Property values trend upward, and rent goes up with inflation, so they are a great "Growth and Income" type of investment. We will definitely be calling Access PM Group when we add more properties. For now, we just have the one rental home, but Access PM Group treats us like we are they best and most important client. Thank you Eddie, and thanks to the rest of the staff.

Access PM Group is located in the Boltwood apartments in Allendale, but manage properties throughout the West Michigan area. My home is in Wyoming on 36th Street.

I can't imagine a better property management experience than I've had with Eddie, Aaron and the team at Access. Being out of state poses it's challenges and they've helped me with valuable advice, timely responses and multiple occasions of going above and beyond to help out. My highest recommendations for these guys.

Access Property Management has been a blessing to our community. Our previous owners and management were not accessible and did not communicate with the tenants. When Eddie came to our property everything changed. Maintenance requests were taken care of promptly! This company listens and cares about any concerns and problems and they ALWAYS answer you! Do not hesitate to rent from any property that is managed by Access Property Management.

Thank you Access Property Management Group for being efficient, fast, professional and reliable. They have taken the stress out of being a landlord and have handled everything. I was shocked at how fast they were able to find great tenants and handled all of the work. Thanks again! I would highly recommend them.

As a real estate professional, I recommend Access to any client looking for a property manager. I rely heavily on their knowledge of the rental market and ability to answer any question my clients throw their way. They are quick to respond and consistently exceed my expectations.

After spending nearly 20 years managing my own properties I called Access Property Management to take over. Since then my leases have gone up my stress has gone down and my accounting is done for me without a flaw. Should have done this years ago! Thanks Eddie Beekman!

This deserves no stars. Honestly I love the idea of having the "Self Showing". But when you call to schedule a show it takes you to an automotive system (Which is standard) it prompts you to put in the street address to connect you (Cool) but when you put the address it just loops you back to the same automated system over and over again asking you to put in the address. So ok, maybe their phones are down? I hop on the website again. There is a link on the property description to schedule the showing online. Cool. I clink the link..... It takes me to THE SAME description and page I am currently looking at with NO option to schedule a tour. I am super frustrated at this point. I start googling their numbers and scavenging for a number to talk to someone to schedule a tour. (I should have taken the hint at this point but I loved the apartment) I finally get a live person. YEAY. The guy schedules my tour. I ask the guy how do I follow up after the tour if I have more questions? He says well "We're really busy. We have only 1 day a week we allow walk in (no idea what that is supposed to mean) he says were so busy answering phone calls all day the best would be to email." Is this guy serious? He gave me no way to follow up with anyone personally. He just told me to email the general email off the site. (Because the website has been working so well thus far) so anyway I see the place. Love it. The add on this site says pet friendly. Awesome. I have a pet. Everything is perfect. I follow up with them the next day Via the website email he told me about. The unit is available a little earlier than I would like so I Ask if they have anything else coming available in that complex. They tell me "That is the only unit we manage" so out of an entire apartment complex they are in charge of only 1 apartment??? Makes no sense. SO I asked what is the name of the property is and how do I get ahold of them? The literally never replied. SOO back to google. I FINALLY FOUND the property site and get a hold of a live person in charge of this complex just for them to tell me that THEY DO NOT ALLOW PETS!!!!! SSOOOOO needless to say this website and this company is horrible and if you are looking for someone to sell your rental or looking for a rental DO NOT trust these guys. This place is a joke.

I rented from Access for the last year at Union Square Condos. From the get-go, Eddie and team have been helpful and immediately responsive - even going out of their way to make sure that my needs were met. I have honestly never had an easier renting experience and 100% recommend Access Property Management!

After living in Boltwood Apartments for 2 years now I can say that the owners and staff at Access are amazing landlords. They have been extremely helpful, responding to any concerns or repair requests in a timely manner. Eddie Beekman, the main point of contact for my property, has been especially helpful in my time living here and is by far the best landlord I have ever had. Boltwood is a great place for any GVSU student to live and I would highly recommend living here..

A year ago I decided to rent a property that I owned. It was a big decision for me as this was a property that was lived in by my family and I did not want the property to become just a rental. I interviewed at least three companies in the area and after I met Eddie from Access PM the decision was easy. A level headed ex-marine with property management experience and a solid company to back him. Access Property Management made renting easy and gave me the confidence to consider renting a second property. The property was rented within a week of listing. Funds are always deposited into my account timely and I receive notification when the funds are sent. Whether I own 1 property or a dozen, Access Property Management will be my property managers. And Eddie, thanks for always making me feel important and answering my texts. Well done!

Eddie Beekman is always so prompt, nice and polite when replying to me, it is a real pleasure to interact with him, thank you Eddie and Access Property Management Group for being great as always!

Eddie has managed my needs as a tenant for four years with our most recent renewal of my current home. He personally has stepped in and stepped up for me on several occasions in renewal situations that needed negotiation; in instances where repair and maintenance were needed promptly; and just keeping a line of timely communication to serve to remind me of due dates, property activities and helpful tips.
Access Property Management has a great web site that continues to evolve to make all my housing needs simple and quick, each and every month. These guys are pros.

We couldn t be happier working with Access Management Property since we signed on with them years ago! Our questions and needs are answered immediately and we have never felt unsure of or questioned how anything is handled. We are always at ease while away knowing Access has everything taken care of! Their hard work and attention to detail is greatly appreciated!! We would never hesitate to recommend them!

Eddie is great to work with. He responds quickly to any issues that come up. He also worked with me to make my apartment the best space it could be. I had never worked with a management company before and so I was hesitant when they bought my building. I was pleasantly surprised and had only positive interactions. highly recommend Access Property Mgt!

I am pleased with the service provided by the Access Property Management group. APM has been an excellent partner for 3.5 yrs helping me manage my property with reasonable fees. Prior to selecting this company I interviewed many different companies providing similar services and Access came out on top.

This management company is very receptive to any suggestions as well as on top of all issues tenants bring up in the maintenance portal. Items are address in days if not hours in some cases. All communication is with the utmost professionalism. You would be hard pressed to find better to serve both tenants and owners.

Our rental needed railings replaced. They were black wrought iron, rusting and outdated. Access found a good contractor (wish I remembered their name) who added a beautiful white vinyl railing, It looks so fresh and updated. I'm happy!

Regarding: Access Property Management,

Regarding: Access Property Management,

The following are my personal comments on the service provided by Access.

I have been an income property owner in the Heritage Hill area for several years starting in the late 1990 s.

We hired Access in 2014 and have been very pleased with their service. Today they manage 9 of our rental units in Heritage Hill and now 2 new units in the NW Grand Rapids city market. We are very pleased with their professional management style, well-organized monthly and annual financial reports and frequent communications.

We would highly recommend Access Property Management.

Our family was having financial troubles, quite common during the recession. Our house was worth less than we owed, so we couldn't even sell it to get out of the mess., we were more than $20,000 upside-down. , We decided to move out of our 3-bedroom house and in with family that had extra space, and not enough income to cover their expenses either.

After shopping around, we hired Access PM Group to rent out our home. They put a sign up while we were cleaning and painting, and wthin a week they found me an excellent tenant that keeps the house cleaner than I did! I have a fenced yard and allow pets (for an added fee), so there was demand for this type of rental. They said they had dozens of showings before selecting a tenant.

Access PM Group takes 50% of the rent for the lease origination/renewal paperwork and legwork, then 10% for each month rented out. For this, they handle all advertising, interviews, leasing paperwork, rent collection (through an online portal), conformance with local/State/Federal leasing laws and even evictions, if it comes to that. Every few years, I am responsible to arrange for the City Inspection, something that is required for all rentals in Wyoming, but they could probably do that as well.

With the 90% we receive, we are able to make our house payment and maintain the property, but not much more. Maybe I should raise the rent every year, to keep up with current market prices, but I'm not good at doing that. In 2035 the house will be paid off, then we will definitely have it as a source of passive income, which we will use to buy another property.

Access Property Management has been excellent at communicating with me. They respond very quickly to emails, and are on top of whatever problems may arise. Very professional.

The online portal keeps track of monthly statements, repairs, and other documents. Income and expenses are tracked and ready for the tax preparer at the end of the year. All good.

A superb property management company with a fantastic team behind it. I used them for many years without even a single negative incident. They event went out of their way, far out of their normal geographic range, to help and support me with other properties without even asking for or expecting any compensation. During the sale of my property through a third party, they were there at every step to assist however they could. They filled my property with good tenants I don't recall them ever leaving it vacant for more than two weeks. That's quite remarkable. I really couldn't ask for much better service than what I got from APM.

VERY happy I made the choice to go with Access Property Management for my home. Everyone has been super helpful, informative and patient while assisting me find my home and with my move in process.

I am a first time landlord. My experience with Access Property Management has been great. They are very responsive do a through work. They have found a tenant within a month . I live in a different state. They have taken care of everything without having me involved much. I am very very pleased with them.

I had a little trouble with the payment interface but that may very well have been human error or a problem with my service provider/hardware. I just had to try a few times to get it processed. Otherwise, everything was well organized and I ve recieved very prompt responses, thank you.

Simply the BEST experience I've ever had with a property management company! Easy to work with; promptly handling everything that came up; professional in every aspect of the business. They made what could have been a big headache into the exact opposite! Highly Recommended.
