Critical: Professionalism, Responsiveness They bought the apartment complex where I live. I have tried to contact them via email for a week. No response. Tried to contact the office at my apartment complex no answer. Cant log onto the rentcafe site they insist you pay your rent on. I really want to move elsewhere if this is the type of customer service they have. Ridiculous.

Critical: Professionalism, Quality Poor customer service, especially at the main office. Make sure you take pictures and video if you decide to rent from them, their objective is not to give your deposit back and fix issues that were there before you rented. Never again.

Quick results with professional guidance and experience in selling a family home. Really took the time to appreciate finding the right fit of buyer to seller. Thank you Burton Newcomb for making this less stressful!

Critical: Professionalism, Responsiveness Worst decision ever to rent from them. Very rude and unprofessional. When things go wrong they are in no rush to fix it. My opinion is they don't really care for others of different races. Would not recommend them to any one. Wish someone would of warned me. If I could give -1 stars I would

The agent we were working with could have been much nicer. We weren't driving a fancy car like she was and were dressed casually. She treated us poorly. She assumed we couldn't afford the property based on how we looked. Little did she know we contacted another company that took over for the home owners and now own the property! Hopefully she learned something and won't judge people because of their appearance in the future.
