Clemmer & Company Real Estate Services - Bakersfield, California

I truly wanted my experience with Clemmer & Co. to be a great one. It started with promise, but ended in deep disappointment.

I rented from Clemmer & Co. for exactly a year and a half. At first, things seemed hopeful. Lyndsey was kind and helpful during the move-in process, and the small property near North Chester and Day Ave had a peaceful charm to it. The neighborhood was quiet, the tenants were respectful, and I was optimistic about what life there would look like.

Unfortunately, that optimism did not last.

The turning point came when the property owner decided to convert the garage buildings — including the on-site community laundry room — into additional rental units. This amenity was in my lease, yet it was taken away with no notice or communication. Like many things that followed, we tenants were simply left to figure it out on our own.

Communication from the office was consistently poor. Utility shutoffs would happen without warning. Maintenance requests, even basic ones, were often ignored or outright canceled — usually by Sandy, the maintenance supervisor, who seemed uninterested in helping tenants at all. One incident that stands out involved my clogged toilet. After waiting days, a contractor finally arrived and clearly explained the toilet needed replacing. He even said he doubted Clemmer & Co. would approve it. He was right — it took three weeks for the work to be authorized.

The property was also infested with roaches. Pest control, according to the lease, was my responsibility — so I paid out of pocket. The water heater was in poor shape, frequently producing discolored, brown water when using hot taps. It was just one issue after another, and each interaction with management felt like a battle.

I did my best to be respectful, patient, and clear in my communication. Unfortunately, that grace was never reciprocated. By the end of my lease, I had grown to genuinely hate the place — not because of the neighborhood, not even because of the condition — but because of how poorly the property was managed and how little tenants seemed to matter.

If you're looking for a rental in Bakersfield, do yourself a favor and steer clear of Clemmer & Co. Instead, I strongly recommend Central Cal Management — a company that truly cares for both its properties and its tenants.

I going to go with a five star!! It’s kinda soon only being in a property of there’s a few weeks. I will have to say that the property is very nice and they application process went quick and smoothly!! The office staff and Lindsey were very polite and respectful. Everything seems like it should go very well. Lindsey explained all the need to knows about payments and maintenance requests very thoroughly also went over all other details regarding lease. No maintenance needs yet. I will update if my experience changes in the future. So far so good!!

I had a fantastic experience renting through Clemmer and Company. The rental process was smooth, everything was just as described and the place was very clean! The team was very responsive and helpful through out my entire time with them! Great location, good value and better customer service! Even the accountant Jhana was helpful when I had a strange billing issue! Thank you all so much!

I've been with this company for more than three years and they're always attentive to any maintenance request we have. Maria has always been communicative with me and resolved any problems I've had which I appreciate her very much. Thank you Clemmer & company for taking care of your tenants. They're doing what they're supposed to do as a management company.

I could not recommend a better property management company! Every step of the rental process was absolutely seamless, from the tour of the property to the application process. As I approach my two-year mark as a tenant I can confidently share that I continue to feel just as confident in this company from the day I took my initial tour.

Is anyone else ready to collectible take this company to court. They’re withholding my deposit due to preexisting conditions(which were documented) that the previous company(which they bought or joined)knew about and refused to fix. I have letters from neighbors testifying that the owner refused to fix the fence and gate. Also, many other things that were documented through the previous company and this current company keeps attempting to steal my deposit charging me from preexisting conditions like a chipped kitchen sink, which was like that when I moved in and they have a guy named Tommy sprayed that thing with ceramic paint. The same thing they did in one on the bathtubs, which has a huge hole in it, and their way of “fixing” the problem was ceramic paint. About two years ago, the water heater broke. It took them more than five days to fix it. When the water heater broke, the water damaged the garage’s carpet, which is shown to them in a video and the move-in documents that it was previously stained and damaged, so the water added to that. Also, when it rains the water goes in the garage. All of these was told to the previous company and the owner knows about it, but still they continue to ignore the facts and the law. I have videos on YouTube about this address and many other issues with the property. For example, how the pipes burst and that the inside carpet has been flooded many times. You can see in the ceiling the amount of times they had to repair the pipes. Which they didn’t say anything until it happened to me, for which they tried to charge me too, until the repair man and the carpet guy told me about all the times they had to fix it before. That house is not safe for you to live. Health concerns are very serious especially if you have children with weak immune systems. The entire living room area was flooded when I lived there, and they did not replace the carpet. The previous tenants also told me this happened to them, & carpet was never replaced.

I am truly so grateful to have come across this company when I did, the application process was fast & Lindsey was amazing and so helpful at explaining step by step on the process of moving in. I love how you could pay rent online, request maintenance online and how kind the ladies in the office are they’re very helpful. All of their rentals online are so nice and the prices are amazing, I would give the company 10 stars if I could. I am truly excited to start my new chapter in my new home, thank you Clemmer company, thank you Lindsey for your time, kindness and patience. I will be recommending this company to everybody I know that needs a place. Thanks again! ♡
