I had the pleasure of working with Columbia Property Management during our search for a property management company in the DC area, and I cannot speak highly enough of their team. Although we ultimately decided to go in a different direction, their professionalism, expertise, and commitment to helping was outstanding. Scott took the time to thoroughly answer all of our questions and provided valuable insights into the local market. It’s rare to find such good customer-focused service, and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for property management services in DC. Thank you, Columbia Property Management and Scott Bloom, for your exceptional support and advice!"

Scott Bloom and his team at CPM have managed my property for almost a decade and have done so with a high level of professionalism, knowledge, and strong operational support. I am an out of state owner, so having a solid property management team was vital to me being able to keep my investment. They provided quick lease-ups at or above market rate, low tenant turnover, great competitive bids on contract work, and reliable industry guidance when I had questions, all for a very reasonable fee. I would highly recommend Scott Bloom and CPM to anyone who is in the market for property management services.

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).

Lease takeover - promised a lease and then skunked
I was initially thrilled to find my dream apartment at great price. The outgoing tenant gave me a tour of the unit and strongly encouraged me to apply. After shelling out a hefty deposit of over $2,000 and getting final approval on my application, I was assured by CPM that a lease was in the works and would be sent over shortly. Fast forward more than three days, and I find out that the outgoing tenant intervened and directed CPM to send a lease to another applicant, and that I'm now the backup applicant.
Hoping for clarity on what exactly happened, I repeatedly called and emailed CPM and the outgoing tenant, but was met with a wall of silence. Needless to say, I did not get the apartment.
Update** Only after I left a google review did I hear back from CPM. They explained that as part of a lease-break agreement with the outgoing tenant, she would hand-pick a tenant (not based on any info from the application) to take over her lease. This was complete news to me as she, nor CPM, had made no mention of this. Just as CPM was preparing to send me a lease, the outgoing tenant intervened and directed them to go with another party that applied after I did. I had a great interaction with Katie and as I had mentioned before, she encouraged me to apply. I'm left to assume that she simply liked the other party more and that CPM was happy to honor her bias.
I'm heartbroken over the apartment and very frustrated at CPM's carelessness and poor communication throughout this process. However, CPM did apologize, sent my full deposit back in a timely manner, and refunded my application fee. I will not rent from CPM and encourage others to proceed cautiously.

Scott, Thank you and your team for everything you all did to make my DC rental experience a complete success from start to finish.
You and everyone on the team were always professional and a pleasure to work with. Both you and Greg were patient and often provided this novice with sound advice and guidance, which I appreciated. I could not have asked for a better company to manage my property and will highly recommend CPM.
