It was difficult and they were not nice about it. Then, they preset the air conditioning to shut off at 11:00 PM and not turn on again until 7:00 AM and it was hot! Daughter had an asthma attack because of it but they could care less. It was all about the owners wanting to make more more money at our expense! I'd find someplace else if I were looking in St. Louis again. The rate was also twice as much as another 4 bedroom we rented a 1/2 block away for the wedding! No value, no decent check in, no air conditioning at night and no customer service, accomodation or even apology!

If I could give CBR Realty a NEGATIVE Zero Rating, I would…read more Be advised this is NOT a company who will look after your best interests. My personal experience and opinion is as follows. You will be "setting yourself up, to actually being deceived, up to and including lied to, time and time and time again." Expect to be charged for repairs that are either unnecessary, or "just made up" let aloe - never done. I was even sent a 57 page list of repairs they alleged needed to be done on one of my vacant properties! I had someone check it out. All it needed was a "good cleaning." Once I had learned that truth, After Paying them the $7,500 requested for repairs (and duplicate entries found on my invoice statements) and other errors, which was "allegedly" placed in "escrow" they stated would be used for those repairs. And yet, thy delayed repairing it, month after month after month, with one excuse after the other. (I was forced to sell it (at a loss) because I was not able to pay my taxes on my rental properties, from their abusive practices (yes, I would definitely call it that - and more) like stealing. They will then offer insult to injury, by offering to sell your rental property! I refused, as I (thought) I was not going to allow them to "steal" another penny from me. And yet, they would not pay the $7,500 I had paid them -in advance - for repairs, they never had to make. They then refused to respond to my emails or phone calls, timely. The owners told me they would no longer accept my calls, and to email them. Which I did. Without response. I guess they "thought" I was just going to let them keep my money! I was left no choice but to hire an attorney to get my money back. Which they paid - sporadically. Some months $500 - or $1,000. Some months late. . I was fortunate that the wholesaler who had initially sold me, my 5 rental properties shared that "Brittany Turnbow of Turnbow Real Estate" recently opened and was a reputable, honest, licensed property management and real estate agent. She planned to build her business by "Word of Mouth." I s/w and switched my properties over to her for management, IMMEDIATELY. if you want to receive timely, monthly rental payments, EACH AND EVERY MONTH, AND timely INVOICE statements, that you actually can count on. While being assured no one has been "dipping their hands into your till," then I would STRONGLY RECOMMEND switching over to her company IMMEDIATELY. Even if you've been with CBR under a year, and have to pay a penalty? You would still be "ahead." You may get in contact with Brittany Turnbow, as follows: Turnbow Real Estate 1518 Camp Jackson Road Cakokia Heights, Illinois 62206 (618) 200-8031 Bfturnbow4@gmail.com Then you can RELAX....

Avenue does not keep its word. I was in talks with Avenue, as I was considering using them as property manager for my rental. Per the request of the Avenue employee I was speaking with, I sent him a leasing agreement I had with a competing property management company. I did this to see if Avenue would actually stand by their word and make good on their "low fee guarantee." After talking with me on the phone about it, the Avenue employee actually agreed with me that my lease with this other company was an "apples to apples" comparison with their own. However, he said that they would charge me more than the other company. In other words, they would not honor their own guarantee. They do not keep their word. Also, there are multiple fake positive reviews of this company. I'm 99% sure that some of these fake reviews were posted by their employees. I would advise staying away from this company.

I love the self-tours they offer and friendly demeanor but their communication was horrible. We applied for a unit and haven't heard back in almost a week, I had to call twice on different days of the wee in order for them to provide proof they were processing our application. After our application was processed I will still didn't hear anything for another couple of days so I called to check the status of our application and see if we were still being considered. It was literally like playing cat and mouse. My spouse and I were more than qualified applicants so I didn't understand why. after calling a couple more times the second time I called I was told by Tiffany we were approved and was asked when we could give the deposit. I asked her to send email confirmation of our approval and she never did. On top of that she said after giving the deposit we would have to move in within two weeks time which is inhumane to me. I went to the office to try to negotiate and asked if we could pay an extra fee to hold it in which Tiffany asked "well what type of fee are you thinking?" I then back tracked and asked if they addressed the things we were concerned about (a hole in the fireplace & the backyard) and after saying they did she went back to standing firm on us needing to move in two weeks and said we didn't have to physically move in within the two weeks but be financially responsible for it. We decided to take our changes and made to a plan to give the deposit in the middle of the week so the move in date could drag to the end of the month. Meantime we were looking for backup places. To be honest I don't think we were what they were looking for hence the dragging of getting anything done, but its ok because we found a better place for a better price, and a more reliable team so everything worked out in the end for us! would not recommend working with them unless you want to be confused and on edge . - Nahja Abdulai

You can not beat…read morethe location, and with a pool and a small fitness center, it's a winning property worth the price. location, location, location...You are close to all major highways to get to work, you can walk to restaurants and bars for date nights, you have the market on Saturday's, and you have free shuttles to all sporting events. I lived in a studio apartment (with a concrete patio) on the first floor and my utilities were quite manageable. Basic cable TV is included for like $10 a month, so with Cable and Internet I was paying around $60. The equipment in the fitness center could use some maintenance (mainly ellipticals), but it's so nice to have a gym on property. Be advised that the pool can become quite the party scene on Saturday's during the summer, so if you don't like pool parties avoid it. However, on Sunday's and weekdays in the summer the pool is wide open for those that enjoy a more relaxing pool atmosphere. As far as management, I had a wonderful experience with the property manager, Debbie. She is efficient, to the point, and responded to all my requests promptly. You can pay your rent by credit card which is great to get the reward points. The property maintenance folks were great as well. As far as loft living, you might hear your neighbors a little bit, but it's nothing intrusive. People in the building are friendly. I highly recommend this building to any young professional looking for a clean and fun place to live.
