Gorman Property Management - Pacific Grove, California

Charles T.

Where do I start. Gorman took over our lease from the previous company in 2024. Everything was smooth until June of that year when we had a roomate become mentally unstable and violent. This included damaging the property, writing on the walls, and threatening other tenants in the house. Gorman did absolutely nothing to help us. All they cared about was polices and procedures instead of our safety.

In late June, after pleading with Gorman to evict the Tennant, the actual owner of the house put us all in hotels for ten days for our own safety and payed for this out of her own pocket. Meanwhile, Gorman decided to try to evict and put all of us on the street, all because of the actions of one roomate.

After that situation, the owner decided to sell the property in May 2025, which is understandable. But the past two months there have been almost no communication between the residents and Gorman.

Furthermore, I myself moved in Late March 2025 and another roomate moved in December 2024 yet we still continue to get emails about a house we want nothing to do with.

All these people care about is money, and couldn't care less about the fact that we had a roomate that threatened violence against us but yet magically couldn't be evicted. All they care about is their bottom line.

Gorman Real Estate should be grateful the five of us don't sue them for emotional damage, as well as what it cost to move my stuff out into a storage unit and then move it right back in after the eviction attempt. I'm blessed that I no longer have to deal with them.

NEVER RENT FROM GORMAN REAL ESTATE.

We rented a single family home via Gorman for the last 15 months ending December 2022...Gorman exceeded expectations in every way. They are one of the most responsive, courteous and professional businesses, not just real estate managers, I have ever dealt with. I can't recommend them enough and if ever (hopefully in the next few years) we return to the Monterey Peninsula, Gorman will be the very first real estate company we contact. Thank you Gorman and especially Merrie for such a great rental experience.

We rented through Gorman for about 4 years until the property owner decided to move back. We had nothing be great experiences with Gorman as the management company, they were friendly and responsive. When Gorman did the annual walkthroughs they noticed and fixed minor issues I hadn't even bothered to report. On move out we used one of their recommended cleaners and got a full refund on the deposit minus the agreed on cleaning fee within two weeks. Sadly they didn't have anything suitable for us on the market at the time or we would have gladly used them again.

We have been with Gorman Real Estate for over 10 years. It was great working with them. They were always very responsive when anything needed fixing. The two times we moved into a place they rented out we found a clean and decent place. They have a great referral service when you move out - cleaning crews that give you an estimate for cleaning the property when you move out, an estimate provided by the cleaning service and you can have it charged towards your deposit if you like. Above all, as long as you return the property clean in the same condition they will refund the full deposit. They are not trying to fix the property at your expense.

Steve Gorman managed my property for almost 30 years. If you want the best in property management Steve is the person to work with. He knows the rules regarding property management and he is great with meeting tenant needs.
We recently moved into our home and after so many years we found the home to be in excellent condition.
He has an outstanding team of repair people to meet emergency needs.
His office staff is competent and friendly. In 30 years they did not make a financial mistake. That's impressive.

You are in good hands if you choose Gorman Rea Estate to manage your property.

I had a wonderful experience of renting a house managed by Gorman Property Management. From application through check-out we were extremely satisfied with the professionalism and courtesy of the team at Gorman. Any minor maintenance issues we experienced were promptly and correctly resolved. Overall, we had a great experience and would happily recommend Gorman Property Management to prospective renters.

My family and I spent 18 months living in Pacific Grove which was an absolute blessing. The town and it's people are fantastic! We were fortunate to find a home that met our needs but more importantly we found a property management team that far exceeded any of our expectations. Mr. Gorman and the two wonderful ladies who help him run the company (Gail and Mary) are kind, thoughtful, attentive and helpful. We barely had any issues with our home but when we did they were handled immediately and professionally. We are going to miss P.G., the people, and the Gorman Real Estate Team!

We rented our home for 2 years from Gorman Real Estate. We received it in a very good condition (well maintained and very clean). Throughout our time in the home this status was kept up. When we had any technical issues, which happened twice within the two years, we called the office and the issue was resolved within one day.
Mr. Gorman and his staff are very friendly. Every time I went to the office, I felt welcome. The friendly ladies in the office are very competent and helpful. The return of the home went very smooth because Mr. Gorman communicates his expectations very clear.
When I happen to be in the area again to live here, Gorman Real Estate is my first choice to look for a home.
I thank Mr. Gorman and his staff for a great home and perfect service.
