A Great Renting Experience!
I spent nearly three years in an apartment managed by Gorman Real Estate. From the day I enquired about renting the unit to the day my deposit was returned, Gorman's staff were friendly, professional, and helpful. The property was regularly and well maintained, and the few routine repairs and replacements that came up during my tenancy were taken care of quickly. It was a lovely place to live and a great renting experience.

Such A Pleasure Renting from Gorman Real Estate!
Gorman Real Estate is one of the best companies I have rented property from. The staff is quick to respond, friendly, and professional. I highly recommend them!

My Favorite Property Manager!
When we told friends in Pacific Grove that we were renting our house from Gorman Real Estate, they all said: ‘’Gorman is the best.” I totally agree. Steve Gorman knows real estate, and all of the houses he manages are beautiful and well maintained. Merrie in the office is always friendly and efficient. Emails and phone calls were always returned promptly. When we looked at the house for the first time, it was pristine inside and out. It looked like a new home with modern appliances. The house was immaculate with a fresh clean scent, not musty like some PG homes. Maintenance of the home was great and arranged by Gorman Real Estate. We highly recommend Gorman Real Estate in Pacific Grove as it is the best.

Great Property Manager!
Whenever you rent property to a tenant there's always risk involved in both sides. Well, Gorman Real Estate gave me an opportunity and the relationship we had over the last two years (2019-2021) was absolutely above satisfaction. I cannot express how grateful I am to be given the opportunity to live in the Pacific Grove, under Gorman Real Estate. The property was always clean and well maintained. And the property management team was always responsive to any issues that came up, and there were not many. The management team was by far the nicest, most considerate, and helpful team I've seen in any of my many years as a renter (Military). And best of all, the support and understanding received from the management team during the COVID-19 pandemic, was complementary to keeping my mind at ease as the country went through very difficult times. Thank you Mr. Gorman.

Satisfied Tenant
Gorman Real Estate has been wonderful to work with. I leased for one year and would still be with them if it weren't for my relocation.
The staff is professional, respectful and personable. They are very proactive on maintenance and building safety and inform me of any scheduled services. The apartment complex was well-maintained and they have great workers for painting, cleaning, heater repairs, etc.
I've heard horror stories from renters in the Monterey Bay area, but Steve Gorman's agency has been truly fantastic. Mr. Gorman and his staff are the best!

Fantastic Manager!!!
Gorman Realty is fantastic!
We had such a great experience renting through them. They took exceptional care of us and the property. Any problems we had were resolved quickly and without any hassle. When the time came to move out, they provided a list of straight-forward expectations and didn't play any "security deposit games".
To summarize Gorman Real Estate in a few words...professional, helpful, friendly...hands-down the best rental agency we've ever had to deal with.
Tracey
Best Landlord Ever
I have been a renter for over 30 years and have moved and lived all around California, especially in metropolitan areas where landlords can be corporate-minded, insensitive robots.
The Gorman staff are the antithesis of this and should be held up as examples in how to manage renters and owners. The expertise of Steve, Karen, and Merrie, with their always professional approach exemplifies what any renter could ask for. I have never seen any of them without their warmest welcomes and eagerness to provide excellent service.
I am also a landlord, so I have much experience with this. If you like doing business and associating with happy people, then work with Gorman Real Estate!

Fantastic Job!
We had nothing but exceptional customer care and professionalism from Gorman Real Estate.
There are very clear, precise directions for the entire process. Move in, move out, and how to contact them if trouble arises. Speaking of trouble arising, there wasn't a time that I wasn't able to reach them, especially after hours! Always there and always prompt in dealing with the issue. They didn't try to get the quick fix either. They sought the root of the problem and fixed it. They didn't just treat my house like one in a number, they treated the house as if it was their own!
Thank you for a great rental experience!
Naomi
Perfect Service and Very Good Properties!
We rented our home for 2 years from Gorman Real Estate. We received it in a very good condition. 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 ladies in the office are very competent and helpful. The return of the home went very smooth because Mr. Gorman communicates his expectations very clearly.
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.

Positive Experience
I lived in an apartment in PG under Gorman Real Estate for 2 years and I have nothing but good things to say about the company and the people that work there.
Merrie and Steve were completely professional, helpful, and more than willing to work with me on any issue, and Mr. Gorman always made sure to personally handle any problem that arose. They rent to several military members and understand the nuances with short notice orders and moves.
My overall experience with Gorman Real Estate was totally positive and I tell all my friends moving into the area to check with Gorman Real Estate first.

Caring Professional Property Management
Professionalism is what we pay for, but Steve and his team go beyond what's expected... through their caring for our tenants and for us.
Owning property in other cities, managed by others. I feel qualified to judge the quality of service provided by Steve; and he definitely goes the extra mile. I can also recommend Steve as a realtor, from our satisfying experience in using him in the sale of a property managed by him. His knowledge of the local market was particularly beneficial to us.
It is easy to recommend Steve and his team.

Very Happy Property Owner!
Very happy property owner! We have worked with Steve and Gorman Realty for a number of years as owners of a home in Monterey.
We couldn't be happier. Steve treats both owner and tenant with respect and professionalism and works so hard to make sure both are happy. He has helped us find professional contractors when we have needed to upgrade the property and has kept in touch. We have had the same tenant for several years and I credit Steve with that in large part, because he treats everyone well and fairly.
If you are an owner looking for a property manager or a tenant looking for a well-maintained home with a good property-management company behind it, I believe you can't do better than Gorman Realty. P.S. Merrie and Karen in the office are wonderful, too. Lovely people and real pros!

Excellence in Property Management!
I am a rental property owner.
Gorman Real Estate has managed as many as 16 units for me over the past 9 years. I chose Gorman Real Estate because of the office's excellent reputation and references, and for the smaller and more personal operation. I have found Mr. Gorman and his two office personnel to be personable, professional, fair and responsive to tenant's needs and owner's issues.
I would recommend Gorman Real Estate to any rental owner seeking professional management and to any prospective tenant seeking a well maintained, professionally managed rental unit.

Grateful to have Gorman
It’s not often, at least not in my little world, that the business I do on a day to day basis occurs in such a way that is so enjoyable and anticipated as the experience I have had with Gorman Real Estate.
The staff, Mary and Gail, has always been attentive, communicative and loving. Paying rent was like visiting home, always a connection and a willingness to chat about the things in my life.
Steve Gorman runs the kind of business that makes small town feel so good. I am grateful. Thank you. Jennifer

When I returned to Monterey to prepare my house for a new renter I knew that I would need an agent who would be reliable, informed and professional.
I had very few days to accomplish the task. Merrie and Steve were ready to to assist me in every detail., Steve visited the house with me and advised on what would be needed to put the house in first class condition for the new renter-new window blinds, new refrigerator, etc. They have always given my renters prompt and compassionate attention and shown a true concern for my investment. Steve, Merrie and Karen have been trustworthy associates in working with rental issues.
Both renter and property owner benefit with Gorman services.

Hats Off To Gorman Team!
We wanted to thank you for your outstanding service!
As homeowners and frequent renters also, we recognize and value a great property management company. You always respond quickly to our requests, perform yearly checks of the property, and are pleasant to work with. With this "triple-treat" your team is amazing!
Again, thank you and if you are ever in our new location, please be sure to call us!

Outstanding Property Management
Steve Gorman and his crew managed many properties for my father-in-law who was himself in real estate in Pacific Grove.
When he died, I became his executor/trustee and began working with Steve and Merrie. The management of the estate, the division of it and the accounting for all of the changes was no problem for Steve and Merrie. Steve Gorman is managing several properties for us on the Monterey Peninsula. We live in Washington State and we could not own rental property on the Peninsula without Steve's expert help.
If you need a property manager, you can do not better than Steve Gorman and his team.

There's the rest but THIS is the BEST!
As an owner of rental property in Pacific Grove for 16 years, we had a wonderful relationship with Gorman Real Estate and staff.
We have ALWAYS found Steve Gorman to be forthright, open, fair and professional in dealing with both owners and renters. Steve Gorman and his staff managed our property in a most professional manner at all times finding great renters for us and helping us keep the property in good shape with any needed repairs.
The BEST advice we ever received before we left was...CALL STEVE GORMAN if you're looking for someone to manage the property... Steve and his staff set THE STANDARD for how this business should be run. They won't disappoint!
lmmnorton
I always recommend Gorman Real Estate to any seekers who cross my path!
We have been renting with Gorman Real Estate for a total of almost 10 years.
We left the state for a few years and when we moved back the first thing we did was call Gorman to see if there was anything available. Gorman is the ONLY management company that I recommend to anyone that asks because our experience has been above excellent.
Mr. Gorman is so nice and has such a remarkable work ethic. The minute we need anything - someone is always quick to handle the job. If you are looking for a rental or someone to manage your home rental.....Gorman is the ONE you can trust to do an outstanding job!

Gorman Rocks!
I would TOTALLY list my property with Gorman and I would definitely rent from them again.
I am on both sides of this coin--I own a home in another state and rent every time I move.
Gorman had all the attributes I look for in a property manager: organized, efficient, timely and professional.

Great Rental Experience
We rented a home through Gorman Real Estate for 2 1/2 years in Pacific Grove.
From start to finish our experience was very positive. The front office was always friendly and helpful. If there was ever a need for a repair, it was handled quickly and we were kept well informed of scheduled maintenance appointments. We were given very clear guidelines for what was expected to clear the property when we moved, and this helped make the move-out process much less stressful. The entire Gorman team was consistently professional, and beyond that, just plain thoughtful, decent people.
I would highly recommend them to anyone in the area who is looking to rent a home or to anyone looking to have their property well managed.

My experience with Gorman Real Estate
I am in the military, and during my stay in this wonderful apartment I never felt safer or more comfortable.
Any issues I had were resolved very quickly, especially an issue I had with my next door neighbor which Mr. Gorman personally handled. I had no issues with either of the lovely ladies at the front desk. They were always very helpful, attentive and polite. As well as the other neighbors in my 6 apartment complex.........
My time in Pacific Grove was wonderful! I recommend to anyone moving into Pacific Grove area to check out Gorman Real Estate first and make your time in the Monterey Peninsula a memorable one.
