Unscrupulous Business Practices
Many reviewers have expressed their dissatisfaction with the company's business practices, particularly the non-refundable application fee, which ranges from $35 to $40, just to view an apartment. This fee is considered exorbitant and unfair, especially when the apartments shown are often in poor condition.
Poorly Maintained Properties
Reviewers have reported that the apartments they viewed were in terrible condition, with one even finding roaches in the kitchen and fridge. The properties are often left uncleaned, and the company's lack of attention to detail is appalling.
APPLICATION PROCESS
The application process has been criticized for being unfair and discriminatory. One reviewer was rejected due to a minor mistake made four years prior, which they felt was unfair and discriminatory.
Positive Experiences
However, some reviewers have reported having positive experiences with the company, citing helpful staff and a quick and smooth rental process. One reviewer even credited the company with finding them a new home within 48 hours.
Staff and Service
Some reviewers have praised the staff, particularly Cal and his team, for their exceptional service, responsiveness, and professionalism. They have been commended for going above and beyond to find suitable properties for their clients.
