This tenant owes over $ 27k in rent. He has not paid for a year now and after a lot of leniency, a dispute resolution has been filed for his eviction. He has never reported any issues that he's complaining about, and is the one who has dumped mattresses and other garbage on the property, causing a rodent infestation. Even the pest control company that services the site is unable to do much until the tenant clears all the garbage. Similarly, he has never permitted any trades to enter the house to carry out repairs or maintenance, is always smoking weed, and claims that his disability entitles him to do so. All that said, his own wife has acknowledged and thanked me for the the timely attention to issues (Please check review from Lolita Ramona Ehrhardt) and contradicts whatever Mt Wheeldon has written.

Amazing and high quality service

The personal level of service and the care taken for shortlisting potential tenants has been a boom. Definitely a great company to work with. All my tenants were secured through Minerva. We have been using them for 3 years.

Absolutely recommended!!

We worked with Basheer who was acting as property manager for our landlord. As as tenant with his contact, he was exemplary in access, quick responses, and timely resolve of issues. I especially appreciated the clear honesty of where projects were at, which engenders trust for all future communications. Thanks for all the help!

RENTERS BEWARE!

This review is for Basheer Dewji of Minerva Realty Corp. If you are RENTING from this company, beware that you have no protection as a tenant.
I was previously evicted from my last residence where another tenant and I had signed the sublease agreement. Only to be forced to move out before the end of our lease when he had already rented out the property to the family of an employer from his OWN company.
Incredibly shady business practices, absolutely zero integrity, and milking every dollar from a property that is set to be demolished by Spring of 2023.
His company deserves to be blacklisted, and he should not be allowed to operate as both a realtor and property manager under Strata.
The damage has already been done. But this message is to protect prospecting rental tenants from going through the same time and financial hardships I have endured through this process.

This person was never a tenant (there's no tenancy agreement between her and the company) and her issues should be addressed to the person whom she signed as sub-tenant. No consent for sublet was obtained by her 'landlord', and neither did that 'landlord' advise her he was terminating the lease. Luo does not understand or follow tenancy laws, Anyone that is is interested to learn more about this issue is welcome to contact me directly.

Wonderful and efficient experience

I've just recently had the pleasure of meeting, Basheer, who has been very helpful in guiding me through the apartment acquiring process. He is very knowledgeable, informative and helped walk me through every step of acquiring a beautiful apartment. I'm very impressed with the quality of professionalism I've received and would highly recommend Basheer to anyone, whether you're experienced at apartment hunting or a newbie such as myself.

Excellent and reliable

We have been working with Basheer for the past 4 years. He has been exceptional in finding the right tenants and addressing their needs throughout the tenancy terms.
More importantly, we have heard glowing reviews from our tenants about Basheer's promptness and their interactions with him. We have no hesitation to recommend him to either potential landlords or tenants.

Recommendation for excellent service 100%

Basheer is managing my property in Vancouver for several years. Since I live overseas I depend on reliable management that Basheer definitely was able to provide over the years.
I always appreciate his super prompt response to any requests from me or the tenant. I wish Minerva Realty and Basheer big success and would recommend him anytime.

Basheer an Exceptional Property Manager

As overseas property investors we are very fortunate to have Basheer from Minerva Realty Corp managing our property in Vancouver for more than 6 years. Basheer does a superb job in selecting and liaising with tenants. He negotiated the same rent last year during Covid lockdown when my property turned over tenants, without a day break in the lease. Over the years he helped us with painting the property, changing a fireplace and a dishwasher by shortlisting trades and getting the job done at a competitive price. Basheer always answers my questions via phone call or email with such politeness and informative answers. I worked with many different property managers in different locations and Basheer definitely stands out as an exceptional one who I can continue to trust my investment property to. Thank you Basheer!

Great service with integrity

I have worked with Basheer for about 7 years now and he has always been very approachable, available for any questions and very quick to solve any problems that we encounter. I will highly recommend him to anyone who may need the service.
