Christina Metheny
CEO, Valley Wide Pest Control, Inc.


To Whom It May Concern, I am pleased to write this letter of recommendation for SANMAR PROPERTIES, who has demonstrated exceptional professionalism, reliability, and expertise in the field of property management.

During my time working as one of their vendors, SANMAR PROPERTIES consistently showed a strong ability to oversee daily operations, maintain positive tenant relations, and ensure that properties under their care were managed efficiently and effectively.

One of SANMAR’S greatest strengths is its communication skills. We maintain strong relationships with Angel Jackson (President), Erika Martin (VP), their Single Family Homes departments, as well as multiple on-site property managers. They handle tenant concerns with patience and professionalism, resolve conflicts promptly, and maintain clear and transparent communication with property owners. Their proactive approach helps prevent issues before they arise, saving both time and resources.

I confidently recommend SANMAR PROPERTIES for any property management role. They would be a valuable asset to any organization seeking a skilled and committed professional. Please feel free to contact me at (559) 285-8181 if you require any further information. Sincerely, Christina Metheny-CEO

I am writing in strong support of SAN MAR Properties for the BBB Torch Award for Ethics. I have had the privilege of working with them for over 12 years, and they are not only my oldest client, but one of the most impactful relationships I have experienced in business. When I first started my company, I was a one-person operation trying to find my footing. SAN MAR Properties took a chance on me at a time when many others would not have. From day one, they treated me with the same level of respect and professionalism as if I were a large, established firm. That decision alone speaks volumes about their character. They value people and relationships over size, status, or convenience.

Before starting my business, I worked for a company that truly felt like a family—not in the overused, buzzword sense, but in a real and meaningful way. When I left to start on my own, I assumed I would never find that kind of environment again. I was wrong. SAN MAR Properties created that same sense of belonging, not just for their employees, but for the partners they work with. I was welcomed into their culture in a way that went far beyond a typical vendor relationship. I was invited to company gatherings and made to feel like part of the team.

The strongest example of their character came during one of the most difficult times in my life. When my daughter was born extremely premature, I spent two months in the NICU with her. During that time, SAN MAR Properties showed nothing but understanding, patience, and support. There was never pressure—only compassion. When she was finally able to come home, I still could not afford childcare, and I often brought her with me to work. Not only did SAN MAR Properties accept this without hesitation, they embraced it. They cared about her, supported me, and quite literally watched her grow up over the years as I continued working with them.

That level of humanity is not something you can fake or manufacture—it is built into the culture of the organization. You can see it in how they treat their employees as well. Where some companies rely on strict enforcement and rigid policies, SAN MAR Properties leads with care, respect, and understanding. That approach creates loyalty, accountability, and a genuinely positive work environment.

Their ethical standards extend beyond their internal culture into the communities they serve. In managing their properties, they demonstrate a consistent commitment to treating people with dignity and respect, regardless of circumstances. Whether a property serves low-income residents or higher-end tenants, the level of care, professionalism, and quality remains the same. SAN MAR Properties isn’t just a company of the community—it is a company for the community. That distinction is clear in everything they do.

SAN MAR Properties does not simply talk about ethics—they live them. They have shown, time and again, that doing the right thing is not dependent on who is watching or what is most convenient. It is simply how they operate. After more than a decade of working closely with them, I can say with complete confidence that SAN MAR Properties exemplifies what the BBB Torch Award for Ethics represents. They are a company built on integrity, compassion, and long-term commitment to people—both inside and outside their organization.

I strongly and wholeheartedly recommend them for this recognition.

SAN MAR took over our apartment complex and turned it around completely. Great people and consistent communication.

I’ve lived in a SAN MAR property for over 6 years. Maintenance is quick to respond, and the office is always friendly.
