I rent a commercial property from them, ac/heat went out July of 2021. Have had 2 different A/C repair people come out and both said need a new unit. We are now in Feb 2022 and still nothing has been done. Furthermore, talked to owner about this and again still nothing. If you want any kind of rapid service, definitely look elsewhere.

STAY AWAY Worst rental agency every. They charge you for repairs and even if you spend several days cleaning before moving out they'll send their own inspector (no third party inspector) and charge you for cleaning and painting. The house was dirty when we moved in and we close to 2 pages worth of things that were wrong with the house, it wasn't even cleaned, but then they charge us for cleaning once we move out even though we left it cleaner than when we first moved in.

I warn anyone and everyone who plans to rent from this property management company to stay clear. Not only did they over promise and underdeliver but the lack of professionalism and follow through by the property manager is despicable. She not only ruined a family move but completely disrespected a VETERAN and his wife. They do not honor their promises and in a town full of active duty soldiers and veterans fail to even be apologetic.
I asked for an owner to call me and Mr. Brabham was out of the office and per the property manager not available. DO NOT TRUST THE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT OFFICE and I would question even Mr. Brabham commitment to truly care for his customers. He has a incompetent, disrespectful and untrustworthy employee representing himself and his company in the Property Management Office. For community committed to veterans today, all I saw was a veteran and his family taken advantage of.

I love this agency a lot. I've been renting from them for about 4 years now. So as I was headed to work I called to leave a message because once I get to work I have no service. To my surprise an elderly lady answered stating she was an answering service. So I asked if I could leave message or be routed to a messaging service. She stated that they open in an hour and hung up. So I called back and explained to her my intent. She then took my message and hung up again. Please, someone tell me what this lady's purpose is?

So I've dealt with this company before in the past and the customer service was non existent. Even people I knew has had bad experiences in the past for lack of CS. It's like every time I had to give them a visit the ladies working were just not happy. Recently, I purchased an investment property and the CS was excellent. I had to pay them a few visits and every time I was greeted. They also are taking covid into consideration. Thank you for improving the CS.
