My wife and I asked Bryan Wharton to sell our home. He had the house listed for 17 hours (not a…read moretypo) when he called and said "I have an offer over your asking price." We thought it would take months to sell the place and are clearly thrilled with that result. We then asked him to sell some vacant land that we owned. We were in no hurry to sell and priced it pretty aggressively. Bryan went right to work. He used every tool in his tool bag and worked extremely hard to aggressively market our property. Again, remarkably, he had an offer we could not refuse 17 days later. My wife now calls Bryan the "house whisperer" based on the noted amazing results. I would simply give Bryan Wharton, and the entire team at Ohio Realty, my highest recommendation if you are selling real estate in Athens or a surrounding county.

We are a business that has rented a large space from Coady Rentals for the past 13 years. In all…read morethat time, our dealings with our landlord have been very fair and they have been prompt when dealing with any issues that have arisen. When the pandemic hit and we were not able to do the volume of business we had previously done, they gave us a break on our rent, which was much appreciated and has helped us stay in business. There are quite a few lousy landlords in Athens... we feel we really lucked out to have Coady Rentals as a landlord.

Rented from them for one year and that was more than enough. Brian is the most unprofessional man I…read morehave ever met or attempted to work with. He could care less about you or the property or anything you have to say. He will constantly show up without warning, discriminate against you for any accommodations you ask for, or try to charge you for things out of your control. You will not get your security deposit back. Rent from anywhere else. ANYWHERE else.

I was considering all options for my listing, but after talking to him, I chose another company for my needs. It's a very small town, so most people in the area already know this. This is more for folks considering a move to the area.

So it's been a few months. We finally got out of that awful apartment. I'm responding now because I…read moredidn't want to cause further issues while we still were residing there. So I will address the issues one by one as well. 1. Your maintenance workers came in unannounced on multiple occasions. Don't try to lie. We caught it on our security cameras we had set up just for these sorts of instances. 2. You may have put signs up, but you made no active effort to inform your tenants of the issue. An email could have been sent very easily. I wasted money trying to start my laundry and some of my clothing items were ruined Because I had no way to wash them. And before you say you had other laundry facilities available I will address it. I didn't have my vehicle at the time and it was freezing and your closest facility wasn't very close for a young woman to walk alone to at night in the freezing cold in such a sketchy neighborhood. 3. Your maintenance workers may not know our financial status or how we pay for our living arrangements (mine being paid upfront. NOT by financial aid) but they were still very rude to us and never had a very good attitude. And the people you had cleaning our stairwell never cleaned. I witnessed their "cleaning". They opened the door, sprayed some febreze and walked out. And I'm not the only tenant who thought poorly of your maintenance crew. I went to school with most of them and people like to talk. 4. The area I am referring to with the ice was a common area used by all. Not just me. I think paying you $1895 per semester should be enough to use whatever entrance I please. I was using said entrance to get to the laundry facilities that were out of order. Also, my roommate does not appreciate that his financial hardships were broadcasted on the internet for all to see. I made this post. Not him. I paid my rent on time. I never asked for any sort of extension. So really you called out the wrong person. So anyway, if you're reading this and you're thinking about renting from these con artist scumbags, think again and go as far away as you possibly can. Another thing I need to complain about is the fact that animal feces was placed on my back doorstep by someone. Which I assume was maintenance seeing as everyone else had left for the summer. Yes I have a dog. Does he poop on the porch? No. Never. There were several cats that hung around back there and would always poop. We tried to keep up with it because it was gross to look at. But that doesn't give anyone the right to place feces by my door. Also, it was stated in my move out forms that there was a rotten pumpkin left behind. Well, that was our old roommate's pumpkin she left from Halloween. Not my problem. Did she get charged? Probably not. They charged us $504 to stay an extra two weeks because our new apartment was still occupied. What business people! They're out to take advantage of young people getting their first apartments. They charged $3790 for two semesters. And then we paid the extra to stay longer. So we paid about $800 a month to live in a trashy apartment. That's not including utilities. Which are outrageous because nothing is insulated well and the windows are very outdated. Also, a furnace issue was reported. Maintenance came to take a look. Didn't even open the door to where the furnace was. His worlds not mine. "It's Ohio, heaters just don't work here." So he told me heat doesn't work? Then why's it called a heater? He just didn't want to look at it. Also, our air filters were not replaced once. They were supposed to be replaced during Christmas break and spring break. I sat at home all day on the days the maintenance crew were supposed to come and they never showed up. So it wasn't taken care of. Overall, we dealt with the most pathetic excuse of a business. They locked us out before we had the chance to get all our stuff. They did unlock the doors later but we could've been done sooner had they not been so spiteful. They are awful business people and I would 10 out of 10 not recommend.

I live 1200 miles away…read moreand am wanting to buy property around this area and CANNOT get anybody to help me find something. I've called 2 different agencies, and one of them must have had dementia because he thought I was somebody else and cut me short when I asked about a piece of property and hung up. He never asked me my name, phone number, what I was looking for; NOTHING! I called him back and had to tell him that I was looking for property and he started telling me the price range and something totally different and STILL thought I was somebody else. So, I called another one in regards to a piece that I'm REALLY interested in, she was good enough to send me the details and tax info but I had more questions to ask and I cannot get her to call me back. I'm wanting to write a check TODAY but can't get her to call me back with my offer. THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT WANTING TO DO ANY WORK BUT JUST WANTING MORE MONEY FOR DOING NOTHING!

With her help, we just bought a home in Athens. That may sound simple, but it wasn't because we were "shopping " from California.
