American Property Management

Phenomenal property management service! The entire team are prompt at responses and always available to answer questions. They are seriously the best in Manhattan, Kansas. They take care of our tenant issues right away and communicate with us throughout the process. Our units are a bit complicated with the utility set up and somehow they make the process manageable. Super happy with their service!

Rented from American for years and can’t say enough good things. I moved to Manhattan during the times of COVID and they set up a facetime viewing of my home and made sure to point out any imperfections- they could’ve easily hid things to get a lease signed but they didn’t. The staff is so kind and maintenance requests were always taken care of extremely quickly. Got my entire security deposit back when I moved out as well. If I had to rent in Manhattan again I would only rent from American!

I recently purchased a home with an existing APM rental tenant residing on-site. A portion of the lease remained. APM had zero to gain by my purchase (and indeed thereby lost the remainder of the lease), however they responded to multiple queries I made about details of the lease and the home ownership transfer. The APM employee who managed leases was especially reliable, however all of the staff I encountered were friendly and professional, and the owner contacted me directly.

We’ve used American Properties to manage our rental for about 5 years now and they are on top of everything. After a terrible experience with our first management company it’s nice to know our home will be rented quickly by vetted tenants, and our tenants have quick and easy access when something breaks. The team at American are incredible responsive and helpful, excellent customer service! I really appreciate that both tenants and owners are mutually respected!

These guys have been on point for renting out our home in Manhattan. They are very knowledgeable of the market and provide excellent full service as a property manager. This includes everything from rental estimates before you buy to assistance with renovation and preparing a property for tenants and of course leasing and maintenance with tenants in the property. They've got you covered from start to finish.

Over the past year I switched to American Property Services after working with another company for many years. The change has been incredible. Dave Darling and his team are hard working, professional, process oriented, and knowledgeable. Unfortunately, over the past few months I have had to deal with very difficult flooding related issues. While this is costly and challenging, Dave’s team went above and beyond in every respect to provide sound advice, line up good vendors, and find solutions to very difficult problems. With little notice, they lined up a detailed itinerary so I could come into town and meet the vendors. What’s more, in walking my property, and several others that they manage for family, what was clear was the level of satisfaction of the tenants. All of them said that American was responsive to every work order, that they dealt with issues, and that they were all extremely happy renting with them. With market vacancies unusually high, American has nearly all their properties rented. As an Owner, or a Tenant, you would be well served by working with American. Dave is the most competent, professional, and hard-working property management professional that have ever dealt with in over 20 years as a real estate investor. Thank you Dave and the team for all your incredibly hard work - I sincerely appreciate it and look forward to working with you for years to come.

I only have good things to say about American Property Management. I was referred to them by my realtor. I was a little unsure and hesitant about renting out my house having never done this before. Dave and his team did a great job talking me through everything and answering all my questions. Let me add all this was done via phone/email since I did not live in the local area. American quickly got a well screened renter and I couldn't have been happier.

American was great with communication. They kept me inform on everything and anything that involved the property. We chatted via phone/email/text...whatever was easiest at the time.

I definitely recommend them and had I not decided to sell my property I would have continued our business together for many more years.

Great Job!!

Dave, Meghan, Scott, then entire staff are amazing. I took over three rentals after a dear friend died. We were in transition to American Property Management from prior company and it was seamless. Since then, nearly a year ago, they have been helpful with every aspect of managing the properties. It is rarely more than 30 minutes for a response to emails, requests for documents, etc. I would absolutely recommend American Property Management 100%.

We just finished up a 5 year contract with All American and could not have been more satisfied with our experience. We were moving several states away and hired Dave and his team to take care of our property. They always kept us very informed and provided all feedback in a timely manner. We always felt like our concerns were being heard and even living several states away, felt like we had nothing to worry about. I highly recommend All American.

In the 2 months we have worked with Dave and his wonderful staff our rental property has shown tremendous improvement in appearance and condition. Their responsiveness to our concerns and improvement requests during the transition from our formal management company has been especially impressive as has been the quality of their work on our property. Thanks to the responsive support we have received and the timely communication standards American Property insists on, the concerns and doubts we have experienced the year plus before we changed management teams to American Property have vanished. We look forward to a long standing relationship confident that our property will be well maintained and our tenants taken care of as they deserve.

As a homeowner and a military family, a major concern when buying a house is inevitably, "Will this home be taken care of when I move away?" With Dave Darling and his staff at American Property Management, all of these concerns are washed away. Property management firms get a bad rap--oftentimes deserved. But Dave and his team are in a league of their own and break many of the stereotypes through consistent communication and follow through.

If you're looking for a place to live or wanting to utilize your home as an investment property in the Greater Topeka and Manhattan, Kansas region, look no further than American Property Management. Dave and his staff will take you from A to Z with care, clarity, and world class professionalism.

If you are looking for properties to rent or have properties to be managed, you can do no better than signing with American Property Services.

We lived in Manhattan for 22 years before moving out-of-state for a new job. Our 1920's craftsman house a block west of City Park needed to be rented. We signed with a company to have them manage it. It was a disaster! The level of incompetence and pure greed was astonishing as well as the complete mismanagement of the tenants and of the house. They cost us thousands of dollars. Literally, thousands. They charged us astronomical fees for simple tasks: $400 for changing out smoke alarms. They did not do the basic services that they had promised to do. In the end, we terminated their services because of their unprofessional incompetence.

We then signed with Dave Darling and American. It was like a huge boulder had been removed from our shoulders. He righted every wrong that the previous property management company had caused. He was in constant contact with us and with the city and with vendors to address issues with the house. He did more in two months to help us than the previous company did in two years.

American Property Services has been a joy to work with. Dave has been kind, thoughtful and, most of all, proactive and productive in terms of dealing with our house.
We give him and his company the highest recommendation possible.

As a landlord: So there I was, working at Fort Riley. My wife and I bought a house and shortly after we had to move for work. Being first time homeowners and having minimal equity, we decided to rent out the house. Dave Darling came by and assured us that the process is typically pretty smooth. He and his team were very responsive and able to talk us through every step of the seemingly daunting process. The work that they do to maintain the property is quick and professional. J.D. and the maintenance team are highly effective at what they do. The experience has been great. There were some hiccups along the way, but those would have happened even if my family was still in the home. They remain in constant contact whenever an issue arises and are very quick to keep you informed of any developments when a problem does arise. Our house has been rented out for longer than my family has been in it. Having built up enough equity to sell the house, my wife and I have decided to continue renting out our home and keep it as a rental property. I don't think we would have come to that decision if we had gone with any other property management service.

We hired American Property Services to manage our home. Not only are they professional, but they give a level of personal attention as if they care about my home just as much as their own. Their marketing, pricing, showing and MAINTENANCE is on point. Best of all, they treat my tenants amazing and are always there for them. They're excellent at communicating with me if my tenants have requests or needs and give great guidance to both myself and my tenants. All the employees at American have great attitudes, excellent customer service and just seem cool! They're very down to Earth, reasonable and fun to work with. They came HIGHLY recommended to me and I can see why...now I HIGHLY recommend them to everyone I know.

American Property Services is, by far, the best company I have ever rented from. They are very friendly and willing to work through things with you. Maintenance and household fixes are processed and completed really quickly, also, which is awesome. Dave, the owner, is super cool and I know that anytime I have an issue I can just call the office and get a response!

Dave and the rest of the American Property team are wonderful to work with! I was without heat for a few days in the middle of winter and they were able to come find the problem and fix my furnace in one afternoon. The customer service is great and my experience with them was completely stress free. I would highly recommend American Property Services to everyone in Manhattan!

don’t usually do many reviews, but the owner of American Property and his team are absolutely excellent! Whenever we needed something fixed, his employees responded promptly and got the work done pretty quick! When we were vacating our rental property he gave us a check out list to get the property ready for the next renters. We worked hard and cleaned the property up really well and we received our FULL deposit back. I have dealt with some shady people in the past, however, The owner of American Property is a man of his word and I highly recommend going through them if you need to rent! You will not be disappointed!

Dave and his team where exactly what we were looking for in a property management company. We have multiple properties in Manhattan and i live a couple hours away and I could not feel more confident in the customer service American Property management provides. We wanted a company that treated the tenants the right way and not just a number on a spreadsheet and that is what Dave does. Dave is always available within a text or call and there is never a problem that is too small. Thank you for all you have done Dave to make MANHATTAN properties a great investment.

Dave is the probably the best landlord that we have ever rented from! He, and his crew, always maintained our apartment, was very quick to come to our aid whenever we had a problem and did a great job at making us feel at home. He also went the extra mile and allowed us to put our stuff in their storage space! So, a great year in a cute place with great rent. I'd say definitely a good guy to do business with. 😊

I’ve had the pleasure of doing business with Dave and his crew at American and there is no better out there. Very professional and responsive and have done a fantastic job trying to get my place rented. It was a big order with the level of home and they did everything they could to get it rented. If I ever have future need for property management in the Manhattan area I have no doubt who will be handling it. Thanks again American Property!
