We have used D&G for over a year now on two rental properties. They are extremely knowledgeable about the current market and work with us to evaluate each property to maximize the rental income. The communication with tenants has been excellent with expectations tenant responsibilities clearly explained. Accounting for the properties has been very timely with reports clearly explaining all transactions. The movement of proceeds always occurs concurrent with delivery of the monthly accounting. The office is very responsive to questions and keeps us informed of any anomaly to operations. We hold the relationship in high regard and very contributory toward meeting our investment objectives.

D&G has been managing our property since 2010 and has done a great job. We have had a number of issues concerning both natural disasters and property upkeep, and D&G has done a great job keeping us updated and appraised of the situations. I would highly recommend them to anyone in the Russian River area needing a property manager.

I’ve been renting from D&G for the past 3 years or so. And It has been nothing but a positive experience for me. They have been very prompt about fixing things that breakdown or are not right .And recently I had some surgery which incapacitated me for a few months. Jill was kind enough to hook me up with an agency to help pay my rent for a few months while I recuperated. I whole heartedly reccomend D&G . Regards Russ Darden
