I started working with Homes for Now just a few weeks ago, and I cant speak more highly of their customer service, attention to detail, friendliness, and ease to work with! They found a qualified tenant within two days of listing my house, and not only was the tenant qualified, but also a perfect fit! The tenant also told me how great Tom is, and I fully agree! So from both the home owner and tenants perspectives, you are in great hands with this company and could not recommend more!

Wow the level of disrespect and professionalism from this place is astounding. This is a money sucking pit. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. They do not professionally clean anything! Will charge you for everything! They lied and said there was a water softner, and lawn sprinkler system. They left our home unlocked and garage open, and all the lights on after a showing. And their were MANY SHOWINGS! they also lied and said i was smoking in the house. I don't smoke! The house was in horrible shape dog piss and claw marks covered all doors and baseboards. Carpets had holes in them.ugh just too much. This is the worst ever.

I've been renting from Homes For Now for a year and a half and have been more than happy with them. Steve Stish has been so helpful with getting maintenance done and is always quick to reply if I need anything. People like him make the renting experience easy for tenants. I would highly recommend renting from homes for now!

Awful experience. I understand its covid but she asked me to pay $4500! Sign the lease and refused to let me see the place! Not even by myself one minute with mask for a walk through! Pictures online were blurry and not great. They could be old. How do they expect me to commit a year and $4500 to something they refuse to show me the inside of? Very upset. Wasted 4 days if my time arguing Brittany. My ctedit is superb. Over 800. They ran my credit charged me $55. For nothing. Stay away. That is crazy business practice.

Wonderful company to work with. After requesting a tour of several properties, a response and tour scheduling happened within hours. During the tour, the requirements to rent the property were clearly laid out, and were repeated in a tour follow up email an hour after completing the tours. Rental application, credit check, and lease creation were completed within 24 hours, and their web portal allowed for the deposit and rent to be payed quickly and easily.
Upon moving in, maintenance was requested for several small items (bathroom faucet and shower head upgrade.) Homes for Now responded within minutes and had maintenance scheduled and completed within 24 hours. After living in the apartment for five months, the microwave failed. Property management was notified, and the entire microwave was replaced within 24 hours. Highly recommend working with homes for now, they respond immediately for requests, offer easy to use web portals, and go above and beyond in making the rental process fast and easy.
