What Are People Saying About Us

I own some restaurants so we don’t have time to worry about our rental property. I feel confident using Columbia Property Management, Scott and others who work on his team. They are always helpful and kind. Very patient with me. They helped us all along the way to take care of renters and all of the legal issues that came up. And we had some long term, expensive headaches with tenants. Every time I had questions or needed their advice they gave good information and helped us with our investment. I referred several friends to Columbia and they use the company to manage their rentals in DC. When I have another rental I will hire them again. I feel like they built a strong partnership with me and are almost like friends now.

We've been with Scott Bloom and Columbia Property Management for nearly 10 years. They are highly informed, proactive, personable, courteous and very professional. The staff is extremely responsive and will make every attempt to get you fair market pricing for your property. They also do an unprecedented job in getting you the "right" renter through meticulous / thorough screening. Mr. Scott Bloom is also the main reason why we are extremely loyal to CPM. He has a "customer obsession" philosophy and works tirelessly to ensure you're satisfied with their service. If you want a property management company that values and embraces "total" transparency, integrity, hard work, and customer commitment / satisfaction, there is no better property management team in the National Capital Region....not to mention, they do a fantastic job of taking care of your property with frequent inspections and reasonable maintenance fees. Good luck but if you join the CPM family, you won't have to flip a coin regarding your rental property. They will take care of you and your investment! Respectfully, Dre Harrell (US Marine Corps-Retired).
