Wouldn't recommend anyone going through with this company. Very unprofessional and lazy, not sure what they do all day. Cant call back and seem to always cancel on the showing day. Stay away.

Saving the fifth star for when I actually move in. But, Heather has been great to work with. They were extremely flexible with my move in date and even came down on the rent when my lease didn't match up with the current advertised price. So far, the customer service has been great!

Bryan is the best landlord I have had. He's awesome, laidback and understanding. I live at the summit on Glenn and have never had an issue with them. I highly recommend First realty to anyone with your rental needs.

After both my brother and I have had separate terrible experiences with this company, I'm finally writing to complain. Time and time again, maintenance and neglected or even put off and I was made to wait for a repair with an actively leaking toilet while the property owners would look for a slower yet cheaper solution. Additionally, staff and maintenance will help themselves inside your apartment without warning to complete their duties.

No sense of privacy at all. Furthermore, complaints made to the main office never would be addressed. It would always feel as if I would be redirected and be told the correct person would call me back only to get no response.
