What Our Clients Say
Our clients rave about our exceptional service, attention to detail, and passion for delivering results.
Poor Experience with Scam and Unprofessional Behavior
The company was accused of scamming a veteran, charging him $3000 for an apartment with a roach infestation, and then suing him for $6000 more. The company also sent harassing messages and did not acknowledge the complaints about the infestation. The customer had to start over and lost everything due to the scam.
Health Concerns and Unresponsiveness
Another customer's cousin had a bad experience with black mold in their apartment, which the company failed to fix properly. The customer's cousin got sick and lost their job due to the issue. The company was unresponsive and uncooperative, and only cared about money, not the welfare of their tenants.
Positive Experiences with Staff
On the other hand, many customers had positive experiences with the staff, particularly Emma, who was helpful and accommodating throughout the rental process. Other staff members, such as Lexi and Joe, were also praised for their professionalism and kindness. Customers appreciated the quick responses to their queries and the efforts made to find them suitable apartments.
