First time trying to rent a home from them and so far its been a extremely nice experience. The home was great when we looked at it, very well kept. Now I'm waiting for approval and keys to move in

If I can give no stars I would. Lack of professionalism and communication is at an all time high with this company and you cannot make them work too hard. The lack of empathy and discrimination is shocking at best. They have no regard for working families and will only rent to you if you fit their description of who should live in their homes. I met all of their qualifications but I did not fit their perception of who their property should be rented to. They should not be in business.

Had to find a property management company fast due to being relocated to So. Cal. We were blessed we found this company. Being across the country we totally relied on them and did a great job for us. The lovely people who were leasing our property just purchased it. Brett is the best and also a great guy. Highly recommend!

BDF Realty managed my property in Charlotte, NC for almost 10 years. I relocated to a different state and decided to trust my property to Brett and his team. I couldn't have left it in better hands. They were amazing and I would highly recommend them as I never had any issues during the time they managed my property. Their customer service, overall communication and proffesionalism are simply excellent! Brett also just recently assisted me with the sell of my property.
In 2 weeks it was under contract and he guided me through the whole process making it very smooth for me. Brett even represented me during the closing. He is definitely the best property manager and your best representation in Charlotte! If you are looking for a good and reliable property management company in Charlotte, NC please note that BDF Realty is first in class, they are just the BEST! If I have the opportunity in the future to invest again in Charlotte I wouldn't consider anyone else to manage my property but Brett and his team! I will do it all over again with them:

Great experience with BDF! I am an out of state owner and they have handled 1 of my properties for a couple of years. I recently moved another to them after they quickly swooped in and kept me from making a big mistake ($8-10k). Beyond that, they are solid operators with good practices, documents, routines, etc. Highly recommend.

BDF managed my property from 2009 to 2017 and they were fantastic! I would highly recommend them as I had zero issues the entire time they were managing my property. They were very quick to get things fixed at my home and always had great communication. They also assisted me with the sell of my property which went very smoothly and quickly. They are the best and I only wish I had more properties in Charlotte for them to manage.

Brett with BDF is terrific! He has professionally managed my condo lease for several years while I lived across the country.made it a cinch! Not only are their fees competitive and simple but I also liked that they do an on-site check of your property twice a year and send you a report with pictures. I will definitely call on him again if the opportunity arises. 5-stars all the way!
