Everest has been my property management group for 12 years, and I have to say that Leslie Wilson has done an excellent job in helping me with managing my properties. She is efficient, and always on top of every email. I would definitely recommend this company.

We have been in the Birmingham market for a few months now and Evernest has been great. Our particular property manager assigned to our team is Leslie Wilson. I cannot say enough good things about Leslie. She is fantastic. Leslie is very responsive and helpful. We will certainly be using Evernest for other properties that we acquire. Thank you Leslie and Evernest for always making sure we are covered.

BEWARE! Evernest, rebranded from GK Houses (reputation?), owes me rent from December. They have been our property manager for a few years. When there is work to be done on one of our rental homes it's always expensive (2 to 3 times what normal work costs). Customer service is hardly that, hence this review. I have been trying to find out where our rent money is that they collected for December. I've been hung up on by my current manager (Maxwell Christ) with no call back.
I've left messages with others, no calls back. These guys are terrible! They won't or can't tell me when I'm going to be paid the final rents they are holding. Simple request has to turn in to this bad review. BBB and Consumer Affairs are on the list next to contact.

I recently switched to Evernest and I already see the difference! I've been working with Leslie Wilson, and she is so communicative and clear in her responses. For me, that is EVERYTHING! Coming from a management company where I felt like I had to pull information out of them to now working with Leslie is a complete and welcomed change. I am so excited that I made the switch. I only wish I had done it sooner.

Maria was extremely helpful in securing the home I wanted! My situation was dire and I needed to find a home within a week or two; Maria and Tyler were able to get me set up as quickly as possible, and even went as far as to reach out to the homeowner to allow my cat to live with me. I am so thankful to them for their help in this process! But especially Maria, who communicated with me consistently and made sure I felt comfortable and kept in the loop in the process. Thank you so muchTyler and Maria!
