As a real estate investor, working with CJ has been like giving a glass of water to a person coming from hell. We were with our previous property management company for 3 years and it was a nightmare. We have been working with CJ Real Estate for 7 months and they have completely transformed our experience of investing in Kansas City. CJ Real Estate is a remarkable property management company. They have made our renovations streamlined, they have exponentially increased our leasing rate, they have filled up our vacancies at lighting speed WITHOUT compromising on their leasing criteria. They are very strict with their leasing criteria and say "no" more often than they say "yes." They are looking out for the investor's best interest while keeping the tenants (and rental unit) safe, secure, and clean. What's great about CJ Real Estate is that their management and maintenance team are large enough to accommodate both large institutional investors and small investors. They can handle everything from affordable to luxury rentals. I can't say enough good things about working with them. They are truly aligned with the investor's interests to see the investor succeed in the long run. An example of this is that they want to see their investors grow their portfolios in the markets they manage. They understand that in order for their investors to grow their rental portfolio, they need to have their existing assets be stabilized and managed effectively There is a how they have grown to manage over 2,000 rental units. Their management fees are best on a percentage of the rental income collected, not a flat fee like other management companies. They are incentivized to keep occupancy high year-round. They are motivated to market vacancies, put good tenants in, keep them satisfied, and keep the properties cash flowing. CJ manages over 100 rental properties for my company and my investors and I are sincerely thankful for having found them. We've kissed a lot of frogs in the past 3 years and CJ is- without a doubt- one of the best property management companies not just in Kansas City, but nationwide. read more

I had an unbelievably bad experience with CJ real estate as a property managent company for a period of ~2 years. We unfortunately trusted them to manage our property when we moved out of state and wanted to rent our home out. Not only were they unprofessional in communication, they simply negelected responsibility, literally no-showed multiple consecutive city inspections, resulting in legal action that came as a complete surprise to us as owners. Move-out inspection reports were incomplete and misleading, left out significant details such as burn marks on the carpet and excessive large trash items left behind by tenants both inside and outside ($700 worth of removal). These details are not inclusive of all events. Throughout the entire 2 years we worked with them, they avoided and simply refused accountability every step of the way. In no way do I recommend trusting this group with your property if you care about it. I will anticipate the company commenting on this review to "clarify" details, amounting to further avoidance of accountability. As a response to Heather, I believe it is disappointing to see public critique. You and CJ real estate beyond disappointed us, and your "clarifications" are unwelcome. Words like "agreed upon" are so interesting following what I've written. read more

Extremely unprofessional and Deceptive. With one listing that I requested to view, I got rescheduled twice by Tiffany and Dori with very questionable excuses an hour before the scheduled viewing (excuses ranging from "my truck broke down" to "I'm feeling under the weather") and the final and third time, I showed up to the time agreed and Dori didn't even bother showing up and stopped responding. The fact that they provide their phone numbers for feedback is a front. They do not respond. All of their phones are full with voicemails and will only call you to "reschedule." They sent me an email thanking me for viewing a listing that I didn't even see. Heather will now read this and proceed to gaslight me by saying, the listing was rented, that I was mistaken by the appointment times, or that I could have reached out to them instead. (How if no one picks up?) Stop playing with my time and others peoples time read more

My request to view a listing for rent has been canceled twice so far, then I come here and see their track record. I'm glad I did my research on this company. read more

I moved into a property that CJ manages in May 25'. The leasing agent told me i could smoke outside. Fast forward to June I started getting complaints for smoking outside and was told that I have to leave the property even though the lease only says no smoking in the unit and that smoking must be done outside. I then began to go sit in my car on the street which is not their property even though this is terribly inconvenient. I continued to receive complaints even when I am not there and 2 lease violations have been issued. 1 more and they will evict me with out any proof that I am smoking. Just her friend/my neighbor complaints. I have reached out the the property Mgr, Heather Lee over 20x via phone calls. She has never answered or returned my calls. She will only text or email. She also wouldn't even tell me her name. I had to ask the receptionist. Yesterday I happen to go on the balcony to blow bubbles with my daughter and saw a group of 4 smoking on their balcony. I snapped pics as proof and emailed Heather to let her know that it has to be them. i also informed her AGIAN that the stairs in the hallways are covered in dog hair and smell of pet urine. (This is a weekly issue) her only response is she will have a cleaner come sweep the floors. Nothing about the other neighbors that were smoking. Guess they must be her friends too LOL I have been renting for 25 years and have NEVER delt with this level of unprofessionalism as well as the rude and dismissive responses. Its Obvious that there is some nepotism going on here. I would even go as far as to say discrimination. I am a good clean tenant that pays her rent on time. My lease is up in April 26' ( SO FAR AWAY) and I cant wait to move. Update #1 There are 0 smoking receptacles anywhere on the property. This is a typical gaslighting response from Heather. Go read the other 1 star reviews here as well as on Yelp and BBB. She only gas lights and takes 0 accountability for the role their company plays. Notice there was no mention or apology for the fact that I am being called a liar when I say I am not smoking. I shouldn't have any lease violations...Period! Update #2 The only person that has been hateful and disrespectful is HEATHER!!! Her 1st message to me EVER was rude! She has blatantly called me a liar. Any emails, text, or voicemails I sent were direct responses to the disrespectful false emails or text that were delivered in the most unprofessional and disrespectful way which then continued to false lease violations. And as of 7:30 this morning 10-6 it still smells of pet urine in the stairwell. I complained about it on 9-22. read more

I didn't even get a chance to do business with them and I would NEVER recommend. They kept canceling and rescheduling my showings only to cancel and reschedule again. At this point I am done. Most unprofessional business practice I have ever dealt with. DO NOT LOOK AT LISTINGS BY DORI PUTNUM. She doesnt return phone calls or text and is the one that keeps canceling my appts less than an hour before hand. read more

I scheduled and confirmed an appointment to see a rental property with this company. I got there on time, and there was another person there, not to show me the property but to tour the property as well. Then I get a text from Dori stating she got her appointment times mixed up and would be there in 20 minutes and asking if I can wait. I replied that I would. 20 minutes later, I get another text that she is stuck in traffic. These reviews tell you everything you need to know. This property has been for rent for months at this point and it's very clear why. These people just want you to apply without viewing the property. I am very aware that at least one will hop on here trying to make an excuse for their behavior..... but guess what? The property is still for rent. It's still going to be for rent next week, and two months from now. Get some new employees that actually want to work. Because the one's you have could care less about renting out your properties. If you are the owner and want a real employee, I would be more than happy to provide much better service as an employee, on weekends! read more

Update: what a scam!! Handy lied about owing late fees not billed but rent paid. So CJ REAL ESTATE BEWARE, the application for this property management company is around 100.00 each, a denial can be anything your landlord declares, no proof given. THESE APPLICATION FEES ARE A SCAM!!! Please be aware and find a property not managed by thieves!! Renting is a joke right now, let's change this, what do we do? read more

Very poor managers terrible to deal with they rent to trash people that don't take care of their yard or house don't waste urctime trying to get a hold of anyone there they will hang up on u very rude read more

One star only because they have a website, even though I think it was one of the first websites ever built. I cannot begin to describe the depths of which I loathe this "business," which is a very liberal category to place this group of inept and unprofessional people. If you have a maintenance issue, fingers crossed it's not an emergency. Luckily the property owner was responsive. Read your lease very carefully as there is vague wording regarding fees that are never disclosed that they then charge you for later. What are the fees and how much are they? Could be $10, could be a million dollars; whatever arbitrary number they decide they think you'll pay. I had the property professionally cleaned and they still charged me a cleaning fee. They are charging me for weekly lawn mowing ... in March. I'd rather bang my head against a wall than try to communicate with any of these half-wits ever again -- they won't call you or return your calls because they're incapable of having any sort of sensible conversation. I'm pretty sure they're working off the first IBM computers and have no proactive or organization skills whatsoever. Any files they send you will make your eyes bleed, unless you enjoy reading documents that contain 7 different fonts, as many different highlighted text sections, and clip art from Office '98. If they ever wanted to make a reality show based off of "The Office," this place could make a run for the money. read more

If I could give this company -0 star I would. They have the worst customer service ever. They didn't fix anything in the house if they did it was the cheapest everything. I lived at 8615 Kentucky for 6 years with no issues other than the house being in poor conditions. The only time i reached out was to fix any issues with the house falling apart. . The city of RAYTOWN has put in several work orders for foundation and electrical issues in the house and they don't want to fix. I went month to month and for this reason they sent me a notice to vacate in 30 days without any cause other than they don't want to fix the property. I don't have issue with leaving but now that I'm trying to find another place Susan and Christy are providing false rental history to the landlords checking my rental history. When I moved in there was dog shit every wear rats bug invested. We had to go through the whole house to clean it. There was no walk through done upon move in key just left in mailbox. This is a racist as company and the contact person Susan and Christy are racist and I will be seeing about a discrimination law suit when they sent the last inspector he said yea they send me when the want to find something wrong . Shame on your company and they way you are handling a paying customer of 6 years. Don't sign a month to month lease because if one of the racist staff don't like when you call them out on mistreatment they have the right to give you a 30 day notice to vacate without cause. read more

If your looking for a property management company or a place to rent stay far away from CJ real estate Terrible property management. Rented from them for 4 years. Communication is slow to non existent. No one cares. Every month there's a new property manager. It's takes weeks to get anything fixed. You put in a work order or email them and they never contact you back read more

sad pathetic trifling slumlords: they dont care they only want your money! please take warning of the other 83 negative reviews & the 1 star everyone is telling the truth! any positive review is someone they paid or a fake account! this company is trash! they are rude disrespectful, have zero communication skills, take months & 5 phone calls to get things fixed! my wife & i rented a house from them for 1 year in raytown, we recently moved out 12/01/24 the basement kept flooding they lied said it was getting fixed they sent snake & rooter out 32 times literally! when it rained or we did laundry it flooded and smelled horrific! our refrigerator went out they took 1 mont to replace we lost $500 of new groceries as we just filled it up a day prior, woke up everything was thawed out and floor was wet we took pictures & made a video! they would not reimburse us as they told us they would, we also had receipt from green acers grocery store! they half do everything, even the people they sent to our house half did their job! please take heed stay away! i could go on and on about this company writing a 10 page letter! i just thank god we found a cheaper and better house in a more nicer neighborhood! 0/5 stars is what they deserve! read more

Too slow and absent a lot. Cannot seem to find anyone to clean out after tenant leaves. Garbage washer and dryer sitting out front for a month!!!! read more

Had high hopes for this company, but that quickly changed when day one of moving in with 3 kids one a toddler. There were multiple live roaches in the home, I couldn't even move my stuff in, let alone stay in the home. Me and my kids had to stay with family. Mind you the following day, there were multiple dead roaches in the home which I had to clean up because they wouldn't. how could I put my belongings on top of roaches. A week later into my move in and still fighting live roaches, the place is infested which when I informed them of the problem they send someone to not fix the problem. they will not break your lease nor transfer you to another unit. when I reached out to the leasing agent I was ignored. They do not care about you only wants money. read more

I would give them zero Stars if that was an option. This property manager was among the worst and we own properties all over the country. When my tenant moved out there was so much damage the deposit couldn't even cover it. And this property manager couldn't even collect the mailbox key. When asked "did you get the mailbox key", they only responded with no. If you're looking for someone to manage your rental property avoid these people at all costs. read more

I'm going to skip over the multiple acts of blatant negligence committed by this worthless company. Instead, I'll get straight to their "credentials", as claimed by them on their website and elsewhere. "CJ Real Estate Inc. has memberships with various organizations, such as the Kansas City Board of Realtors (KCBR), Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM) and Missouri Real Estate Association (MREA)." KCBR doesn't even exist. To the best of my knowledge, IREM makes no mention of CJ Real Estate. The only search result making a connection between CJ Real Estate and MREA is a post on CJ Real Estate's Facebook page, claiming "Two of our very own attended the MREA class in Baton Rouge today..." Do NOT be taken in by the negligent fraud that is CJ Real Estate! read more

I'm just going to skip over the many stores that has happened here. I will list them off. - mice infestation. - gun shots - people shooting at you. - three cars wrecked on just the street where you park. - someone shattering the front windows of the complex if you care for your safety, your well-being, and your personal belongings.. just run from them. it's worse than an ex boyfriend. But is there any break? No. They do not care for the tenants. no cameras are out up. I understand living downtown. But there's also a point where it's just not humane. But hey, make sure you still pay rent in These conditions!!! RUN. Do not rent here. read more

Rent from this company and you will regret it. They have no internal communication and you'll get different answers from everyone you talk to. Extremely inconsistent. We had a downed tree and power lines in our backyard for 5 weeks before they would finally get somebody out to make our yard accessible again. I strongly recommend renting from elsewhere read more

I can tell you there are a lot better companies to rent from than this company. Some of the properties don't belong to them. They're just a management company. Trying to get something repaired is like pulling teeth. They have a website that I don't think anybody ever checks the repairs because I never got a response from anything I put on the website I always had to call. My air conditioner went out in the heat of the summer in July 2022 and it took four days for them to get someone out to repair it because they didn't want to pay the expense of a weekend repair. So my upstairs was 95° where all the bedrooms are that was real nice. When I moved I had to place in immaculate condition. They charged me $32.50 for one mini blind that's dry rotted and it's probably 20 years old maybe as old as the houses itself. If you can find someone else to rent from, I suggested. I'm still trying to get the deposit for my pool key back. they said they would send it back with the deposit for the house. Of course that didn't happen. I sent an email two weeks ago and still no reply. I called today. Of course the person I need to talk to is gone. I think the place has a high turnover because the agents they have to deal with so many unhappy people so you get new people that either don't care or get frustrated from all the complaints. Long story short rent from someone else. read more

SLUMLORDS!!! If I could rate below a 1star I WOULD!!! CJ Real Estate does not care about dripping water from a ceiling nor do they care if your toilet is broken!! They do not care what number of maintenance requests you may have on your list. They DO NOT care about MOLD!! We have been waiting a month for service issues and get nothing but condescending emails in response from *Ashley Quigg* but that is ONLY after also including the owner of the company, Christy Jones. *Ashley* would've never responded. She lies to try to cover her tracks of not doing her job. Horrible office gal to work with, condescending and rude until she wants you to leave a review..haha-how about this one, Ashley!! *Brad Bauer*- "any questions or concerns please contact me" WHAT a JOKE. How about "any questions or concerns and I will disregard IT ALLLL like you never sent it!" *Christy Jones* -just be ashamed, what a dumpster fire. My HONEST REVIEW -stay away. Blue river maintenance, CJ's maintenance company is also joke. If I owned one of these rental properties I would NOT TRUST CJ to care for it as a rental company. We have lived here for 4 years without a single inspection. read more

Run away as fast as you can. I have owned multiple rentals in CO. AK. and unfortunately in MO. These guys are just the worst. You could do a better Job from you your house monitoring your own property. The renter they moved in cost me 10K in damages no rental income for over 8 months and they tried to charge me for cutting grass. It looked like a jungle when I sent contractors over. If you are a property owner seriously these guys do not provide any service. Clearly don't check rental history. To be fair I didn't check their reviews I hope you are smarter than me. RUN!!! read more

was supposed to move in 1/15/23. Went in for final walk through turned on all faucets water pouring from the ceiling seeping into the closet on the opposite side of the bathroom wall down into the carpet advised landlord will not replace carpet if is still useable. No compassion after advising this company my children and I have chronic Asthma. Two weeks later still waiting to get moved in. Don't waist your time.... This has been an huge inconvenience to myself as well as my children. Not a good first impression at all. They have all the money they need however, we have no place to live. read more

I have lived in this building as of February, '21, and have seen four property owners within that year. My rent from the previous year was $770+extra bills, which I was interested in renewing for the year. I live in a 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, living room, small kitchen, and office apartment on the first floor (1D). I also work from home, and I am able to pay my monthly rent. I do not make any noise after 10 PM, and try to maintain the property safe and comfortable. On 02/16/22, I signed my new lease for the months of 04/01/22-03/30/23 ($850/month+extra bills). I paid the March, '22 rent, and I received notice on 03/30/2022 that my 04/01/22-03/30/23($850/month+extra bills) lease had been voided. A new amendment had been made without my consent after my lease had been voided, and I was to sign the new lease of $950/month+extra bills. Initially I was cooperative, but I was not given an explanation as to why my lease had been amended, and I was without a lease as of the following two days. I signed the lease out of concern for the need to find a place in the next 3 days. On 04/06/22 I emailed a representative of C.J. Real Estate, Inc to question an explanation for the amendment. I was informed that my lease was voided due to, "Nathan, Your new lease does not start until 04/01/2022 and unfortunately we are unable to have your rent rate at $850, We have to void this lease out if we do not get the amendment signed for $950, Please give me a call or email with any questions". Any additional explanation was that you live in a, "1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, living room, small kitchen, and office apartment". I requested that they return my lease to its original form signed on 02/16/22, 04/01/22-03/30/23 ($850/month+extra bills), as I did not agree for my lease to be voided. Additionally, my rent has increased $200 from one month to the other (March, '22-April, '22). This is overpriced for the property and location. Reasonably, I am asking for an explanation that falls within my tenant rights, or that my lease be returned to its original state signed on 02/16/22, 04/01/22-03/30/23 ($850/month+extra bills). I have a copy of the voided lease as well. I hope the consequences of this predatory business behavior get resolved, and that C.J. Real Estate, Inc demonstrates the ability to respect the leases of all its tenants. I reported this company during the previous month to BBB, due to their practice of charging late fees starting on the 2nd of the month. This voiding of my lease appears to be a retaliatory or a predatory practice, which is not acceptable for any tenant, and the very reason I am writing this review. Below is a copy of the original voided lease which I signed on 02/16/22 read more

CJ Real Estate - Property Management Near Me - Lee's Summit, Missouri

Buyer's beware! We found a home that we were interested in. We filled out the online application. We had pets and the online application stated that the pets could not be more than 40 pounds which we met. We submitted the application for 9418 N. Robinhood Ave, KC,MO and were approved. They sent us an approval letter. We then secured the property by sending them $757.50. Today, we get multiple calls and were told we were declined because the owner decided he didn't want large dogs in his property destroying the property. Really? Maybe you should have contacted him first before you sent us an approval letter. Not good business at all! read more

Beware of this company. They have high application fees and will not refund them, even if denied, or taking so long to approve you, that you have to look elsewhere. There is a reason for all of the negative reviews. read more

We have lived in the CJ property for about a year and a half. The home is decent, you can occasionally hear neighbors through the walls, but that's what we expect from a duplex. The company itself is a joke. On multiple occasions they've tried to charge us various charges. From not having the water turned on in our name by move in to late rent... Every time we've had our receipt to dispute and they do take it off "oh we're sorry, not sure why that's on there" Sure.. Now, with a maintenance issue (on a Sunday no less) there is absolutely no way to make contact with anyone. The phone line goes to voicemail, the "contact us" page cannot be completed because once you fill everything in there is a security captcha box at the bottom- that is shut down and does not show letters, just tells you that the company needs to call to upgrade it. If you're going to live in one of their properties, make sure you keep all receipts (if you take them a check- make sure you get a physical receipt every time!) read more

Horrible customer service. The homes aren't maintained well. The girl that answers the phones is absolutely rude! Run the other way!

Worst property management company. Rented my home to people that could not afford it. Lowed the rent that I was asking without telling me. After moving in, the people declared bancruptcy a few months later. Because of the bancruptcy, they were allowed to stay in my home rent free for 6 months. The company made no attempt to help me receive the back rent. Also, whenthe people moved out in the middle of the night, they trashed my house causing about $20,000 in damages. Beware! They are awful. read more

If your not picky about how you live then this the place for you if you don't mind fiberglass hanging out of the ceilings and water coming down to basement from kitchen sink then this is place for you or even moving into a house that hasn't even been cleaned trash everywhere then hey you will love it read more

If I could give them, zero stars, I would. I have rented from CJ properties for seven years, I have been late on my rent twice, and both circumstances were beyond my control. CJ properties did not, however put any law in their three day notice to pay or quit in late notices and threatening emails , even though I had contacted them multiple times about making arrangements and letting them know the situation I did not receive any calls back nor did I receive any replies to my emails. They raise my rent consistently every year this year they raised it $100 without notice, so I now pay $1200 almost for a house that has had no renovations no updating no remodeling an air conditioning unit that is from 1960s and his original to the house. A leaky basement mold in my basement rude customer service I have even been hung up on by their management. They are very unprofessional and threatening, it is really disappointing that they treat their tenants like they deal. They have no problem raising my rent but I have a lot of problems fixing the problems in my house. I have been without a door at one time that locked for two weeks because they couldn't find anyone in the basement leaks they didn't have any man come fix the mold for years. The basement is still leaking. Seven years later these are all ongoing issues that I've never been Resolved. They have no problem winning their money in three days but they do have a problem fixing things and communicating and treating their residence with some respect. There's also a mandatory seven dollar a month fee. That is absolutely ridiculous. My house is so outdated and old that is quite embarrassing. The amount of rent I pay, and not to top that off, but to be treated like a less than human by their management and employees is really saddening in disheartening. I could see if everything was PG King in their response time was relevant and their threats were not involved, but all in all their customer service is absolutely ludicrous and disappointing, and a joke if I had the money to move, I totally would. I'm a disabled veteran and a mother to two young children that are still at home and I don't deserve to be treated like this. They act like we're an educated imbeciles who will just take their disrespect. This world has gone to hell in a handbasket and CJ properties is the absolute worst. I didn't realize that I was not the only one that was treated this way by them until I started reading these reviews now I see they just don't care read more

CJ Results Estate managed 6 rental units on my behalf over a two year period. The Good: They return calls within a day and are always kind. The Bad: I had numerous tenant complaints that were not resolved in a timely manner. The complaints ranged from broken air conditioning units to bed bugs. Many of the issues required an immediate response, but were sometimes not address for several days, even weeks. Several tenants contacted me directly and requested I utilize a different management company as they felt these issues had not been addressed efficiently or satisfactorily. I had issues filling vacancies and a few of the properties were vacant for two or more months. Upon analysis, I found that CJ Results did a poor job cleaning the property for potential renters, used awful pictures in their marketing, and used very few online sources to market the property. I transitioned to different property management, that I love, and they rented the property in less than a week. Upon transitioning to the new management company, CJ Results was unable to provide keys to all the units. However, they had been charging me fees to re-key units as they were vacated. I have made several attempts to communicate with the owner to resolve issues as they presented themselves. However, I am uncertain he bothered ready my messages. I can detail several events and circumstances resulting in my one star rating. However, it was no my intention to complain, but rather warn the reader of CJ Results. In short, if you are prospective renter they are unresponsive to your needs and if your a property owner the headaches, lost income, and fees make CJ Results a poor option. read more

Worst company , can't nag on employees Who never show up? Oh wait have them come buy on Friday afternoon No work will happen Oh wait no call back Won't even fix things that would take screws and nails. Green acres is the place to be.... Farm living is the life for me... I just adore a penthouse view.. Where the hell is Eb to fix anything? Arnold the pig call people back Mr Haney your company is disappointing Blue river maintenance apply today And loaf tomorrow. Slum lords attention these guys rock You think your house is crappy now wait until you have them manage it. Don't worry they won't bug you. I guess if the whole place crumbles or burns to the ground I have my renters insurance. That will cover my retainer fee for some serious litigation. Not sure why I can't remove the 1 star rating as Zero stars and NO stripes is Right on the money Can't wait to hear more I live in New York and still mad at blue river maintenance Hope you freeze this winter read more

After looking at 20+ properties in Blue Springs, Independence, and Lee's Summit, I had just about had it with all things real estate related. I mean, good grief, why the heck do you not return my phone calls, losing a potential sale? Why do you show up 30 minutes late to my appointments? And why, God, why is it appropriate for shifty, creeper maintenance men to show me around the property?! As the clouds parted, Lori from CJ Real Estate came into the picture. She didn't force me outside my budget, looked for the perfect neighborhood for my roomie and I, and offered tons of patience and guidance for our 1,001 questions. I strongly suggest CJ Real Estate, because they were the only reliable, friendly, eager company I worked with on my seemingly never-ending search for the perfect property. read more

If I could get 0 stars I would. Took our entire deposit then charged us 136 more for "cleaning." 500$ of which was to paint the walls. The paint they gave us did not match or was dried up. Charged us 200$ to clean out an unfinished basement that was empty since day 1. Their maintenance team was horrible and nothing was ever fixed in a timely manner. Do not recommend. The units are cheaply built and we heard our neighbors constantly, who were families and were not loud whatsoever. read more

BEWARE!! My husband and I were scheduled to see a property at 7:00 p.m. yesterday with Dru Prewitt. We received confirmation emails on the date and time. Also, I received a call from Dru to confirm the 7:00 p.m. time slot. However, despite the confirmations, my husband and I did not view the property. Why?!? Well...this is what happened. Since, my husband and I both work full time, we needed to schedule a later viewing. So, we arrived at the property at 6:55 p.m. We did not see any vehicles in the driveway. After a couple of minutes, I decided to call Dru. But, it went to her voicemail. So, I left a message to let her know that we were at the property to view the home. At 7:03, my husband and I did not receive a call back. So, we called the main office in Blue Springs. Dru answers the phone. Okay....Weird!! Why are you answering the phone in Blue Springs? So, we're like, "hey, we are at the property for our 7:00 p.m. viewing." Dru's response, "Well, I was there at 6:50 p.m. and no one arrived. So, I left." What!!!! My response, "Dru, of course we were not there because our appointment was not until 7:00 p.m." Dru's response, "Well, I was there and you were not and I have already showed 4 other people the property." I'm sorry but we were not informed that this was a group showing nor did we receive communication to see if we could arrive earlier than our scheduled appointment. So unprofessional!! Also, WE FOUND A BULLET IN THE DRIVEWAY OF THE PROPERTY. Seriously!! I should have known to be leery of a company that has an automated option that states, "I was at the property but the agent didn't show up." Really!?! If you are unprofessional to potential tenants, how would you conduct your business with us as tenants? BEWARE!! read more
