My townhouse was on a busy street and I wanted get it on the market quickly. Marc offered to hold an open house while I was out of town and did not charge me! Foot traffic was heavy and I received a contract that very day. It was priced right and sold basically in one day. Marc was very good about explaining many of the nuances of selling a house in DC. He was always very professional, had great contacts in the area real estate market which were helpful throughout the process. I think we both learned a great deal about TOPA (renters rights in DC) in the process! Solid agent and solid company. I saved thousands with this sale. I would recommend Marc and Help-U-Sell to anyone.

When we first started with Scout Properties, things were great. Our first manager, Nick, was…read moreprofessional and easy to reach. But after Victor took over, everything went downhill fast. I'm not sure Victor ever really knew who we were and I can't be sure he ever visited the apartment before things really went to crap. He completely missed a major toilet leak--even after the tenant moved out--which left us with a cumulative $5,773.14 water bill. Then Scout didn't handle the tenant's voucher renewal properly, with no warning to us, which made the tenant move out early and cost us rental income. Even worse, we've now been stuck for several months without a tenant and have had to cover all the turnover costs ourselves. Despite that, Scout still charged their full management fees while barely responding to us. All of a sudden, Scout dropped us as clients (including our neighbors who were clients also), kept the fees, and stopped returning calls. Our next‑door neighbors had the same experience -- and told us their tenant was even offered an apartment at another property managed by Scout. Everything started fine but turned into one expensive, stressful mess. Don't hire Scout Properties unless you want poor communication, big bills, and months of lost rent.

You get what you pay for, their units aren't that expensive, and it's for a reason. I thought I…read morescored a deal when I recently moved into a unit on Bunker Hill Rd (early June) managed by this team, however, I have had a mixed experience. While some communication has been responsive, the overall condition of the apartment and follow-through on certain issues have been disappointing. Upon move-in, the unit was not thoroughly cleaned. There were hardened food splatters in the microwave, a dirty stovetop, stained cabinets, filthy outlet covers and light switches, and windows that looked like they had never been cleaned. One of the bedroom windows didn't open at all. The living room and bedroom floors were also worn and splintered--rough enough to tear pieces off my mop while I was cleaning. I submitted an inspection report with photos and received a response from the property manager acknowledging the concerns. A bathroom wall hole was patched (though the repair was done without any coordination or notice), and I was told the chipped toilet tank issue was being reviewed with the landlord. As of now, I haven't received a follow-up. I was also told the technician would be reminded to be more mindful of cleanliness, as the workspace left behind wasn't ideal. The most concerning issue, however, was finding a roach inside the microwave--before I had even used it. That was the final factor that led me to submit an early lease termination notice 22 days after receiving the keys. I'm giving 3 stars because rent payment through the portal was convenient, and Victor did respond to some of my concerns (however, it felt like he never responds to an email in its entirety). But the move-in experience, unresolved maintenance issues, and poor communication has bothered me entirely. I hope more attention is given to preparing units for future tenants and being more efficient in communication.

Adrian communicated with us daily to keep us apprised of the status of our application, and he always made himself available to answer our questions. He kept the ball rolling when the owners were unresponsive, and he always had our best interests in mind. His attention to detail and his impressive knowledge of current real estate law helped alleviate the stress of the process. In short, we would highly recommend Adrian to anyone.

My experience with this property management company has been extremely disappointing. I was unable…read moreto move into the home I rented until nearly two weeks after the lease start date because the property was not delivered in habitable condition. Despite multiple requests, the home was dirty, windows did not close properly, the back gate was unsecured, and there was no fire extinguisher present -- all basic safety and habitability requirements under the lease and D.C. housing code. What's worse is the lack of communication and accountability. Most updates were vague and unhelpful, with no clear timelines or follow-through. I also reported a non-functioning HVAC system over a month ago, and to date, no one has serviced it. The home has been uncomfortably hot, regularly exceeding 77-80°F indoors, and this has made it borderline uninhabitable in the summer months. I have had multiple rentals in D.C. over the years, and this has been by far the worst experience. I would not recommend working with this management company unless there are major changes in how they treat tenants, uphold lease terms, and address basic safety and maintenance concerns. There is also no working website or phone number to speak to a live person.
