Trend manages my three rentals in Saginaw. They helped me out of a difficult situation with one of my homeowner associations. They really went to bat for me and the end result was positive.

Additionally, I never have to worry about when I will receive my rental proceeds as they arrive on the same day each month

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had such a great experience working with this property management company while finding a rent home for myself and my two boys. Michele was wonderful to work with—super nice, never pushy, and always quick to respond to any questions I had. The online tenant portal is very user-friendly and made it easy to pay my deposit and even set up rental insurance, which made the whole process fast and stress-free. The home itself is in amazing shape and has clearly been very well taken care of. Overall, I’ve been really impressed and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a new rental home!

I’ve lived at a property managed by Trend Property Management for about two years now, and I’ve had nothing but great experiences. Anytime I’ve needed something fixed, maintenance has been super quick to respond, and the management team is always friendly and easy to work with. They really go above and beyond to make sure everything runs smoothly, and it honestly feels like they care about the residents.

You will appreciate the extremely responsive communication. Most importantly, they have thought of everything to make this your home away from home. Whether It is cleanliness, organization or amenities, you won’t be disappointed.

I can’t say enough good things about Trend. I’ve had experiences with multiple property management companies through the years, and have found none as professional, courteous, and compassionate as the folks at Trend. Their care and communication ensures the best possible outcome for tenants, vendors, and clients.

I am pleased to have worked with Michelle and Trend to help my husband and I rent a home. They have great listings and eager to show with flexibility. Every step of the process was hassle free and seamless. I never had to worry or wonder through the paperwork process. Even now while living on one of their properties there’s security in knowing if maintenance is needed, I will get a prompt response. The website makes it very easy to interact with the staff. They keep you informed on weatherproofing your property, depending on the season and also have fun contests for decorating for Holidays. As long as I am renting, I will continue to use Trend! #HalloweenDecorWinner2025 👻

This property management company is bare minimum. We recieved the house dirty, with mixed matched touch up paint, broken shower head, dirty oven, and the garage was dirty. With 2 years of living there, to get them to fix anything took days and had to email multiple times to get someone out. Spent 2 days cleaning and getting the house in mint condition to handle over and then they want to nit pick little things to deduct from your deposit. The house was so much more cleaned and the yard was even upgraded. Beware of this company and an owner named Jason Zimmerman. They will rip you off when it comes to them having to do anything, but won't hesitate to take your money! I'd give less than one star if I could! Smh!
