Match Property review:…read more I was optimistic within this management company. I had moved into my unit in Surfside Beach, SC on March 27th, 2025. Morgan was aiding me at the time and was very wonderful during the inquiring process. I did not receive a walk through however she was able to let me check out the property. I build homes for a living and have walked through inspections. I didn't notice any major attention issues. However, the housekeeping was below sub par. A few days later I noticed a water spot after a large rain. (Thinking maybe the roof was leaking.) Turns out the AC units draining system was not professionally installed. I had contacted Morgan to get maintenance. She was very adept to communication. However, the maintenance team was lacking luster and not reactive at all. After a few days I had repaired it myself and communicated that to her. Maintenance showed up the next day to resolve the issue; however, I informed him I had already repaired it. I did notify him that there was water damage on the sheet rock just below the unit next to the air return ventilation. He assured me that he would repair the water damaged spot and repaint. I waited a few weeks, then a month passed and there was no communication. Had inquired a couple of months later with Morgan. She informed me she did not work there any longer. Flash forward to November 11th, 2025. I had been out of town due to work for a few weeks. Returning back to my unit, finding out my stove had not been working as it threw an error code. I had informed the company, and they stated they would send someone out to check it out and repair or replace. A week went by with no communication, and I reached out again. They informed me they had reached out to the actual owner of the unit. This process went on for over a month. No stove, causing expenses to prepare food elsewhere or order out. This was finally resolved close to Christmas. During this time, I was unable to make a rental payment and asked to postpone but no response so I was charged $175.62 in late fees. I had reached out to the owner, Mr. Leopard. After some back and forth dialect he had stated the company does not discount rent for the next month or refund late fees and it would come out of his pocket. However, I have not received that reimbursement. The new point of contact Sarah when she was asked by myself when I get my security deposit back, she stated I never paid one. However, around an hour later she stated she made a mistake. I am thankful she rechecked her sources. However, had she not I would be out that as well as the $175.62 in late fees for the month of December. She did inform me a cleaning fee would be assessed upon moving out. However, the unit wasn't what I would call clean, nor would my family who owns a cleaning company state the same. I could justify paying a cleaning fee out of my security deposit upon moving out had the unit been deep cleaned before coming in back in March. However, I can't justify making someone pay a cleaning fee for a basic surface level clean that is well below standard. The company may be great for some, and they may go above and beyond. However, I did not receive that treatment. Companies are built mainly on customer service and constant lines of communication. My advice as a former operations manager for a multibillion-dollar company. Invest in a training program. Doesn't have to be 6 sigma but a training session with a high-level focus of in-depth communication, team building, and conflict resolution. I do not know Mr. Leopard and I myself have read almost every review on here just to criticize but never offer a solution or advice on how to progress forward. Yes, I will share my negative experience. However, I still had a roof over my head every night. I believe the owner's heart is in the company and I am sure the workload is high level for him. However, the team he has around him needs to be evaluated on many various aspects. I do wish the company success.

Grossly Do NOT Recommend…read more If you are thinking about renting from this company, please don't. I wish someone had warned me. When we first viewed the property, it was still occupied, so we assumed it would be cleaned before move-in. That is standard. Unfortunately, when we arrived on move-in day, the home was absolutely filthy. The floors were dirty, there were live bugs, piles of dirt in the garage, and the bathrooms were beyond unacceptable. The toilets were black, and the showers had thick layers of built-up soap scum that clearly had not been cleaned in a long time. I immediately documented everything with photos and contacted the office. The representative who came out was extremely rude and unprofessional. After seeing the condition with her own eyes, she told me I could "get on my hands and knees and clean it myself." That alone should tell you the level of customer service you can expect. There were also holes in the walls from the previous tenant, and instead of fixing them, she told me to just "cover them with a picture." Only after I pushed back did she reluctantly call maintenance. Even the maintenance staff agreed the home should have been cleaned before move-in. Now fast forward to move-out. We went above and beyond. We cleaned the home multiple times, had the carpets professionally cleaned, and left the property in far better condition than we received it--just normal wear and tear from living there. However, the same representative handled the move-out inspection, and it was very clear what happened next: retaliation. We were charged for: Issues that existed before we moved in Normal wear and tear Excessive and unnecessary cleaning fees On top of that, the company dragged out the re-listing of the property just to charge additional fees, even though the owner had no intention of re-renting it. In total, they took $2,400 from my security deposit, and additional charges with at least $1,800 being completely unjustified. This was not just poor service--this felt intentional and dishonest. Bottom Line: Do not expect a clean property at move-in Do not expect fair treatment at move-out Do not expect your security deposit back This has been the worst leasing experience I have ever had, and I strongly recommend that you look elsewhere before signing anything with this company.

If you're looking to book a location just for a family visit this is ideal as it accommodates a large group with great parking. The house came equipped with everything you would need in a kitchen. It was advised as only having a drip coffee machine however, it offered a kerig with drip and k cup option. It also had an iron the laundry room in which the property company said was not included. I would suggest better TVs in a home that accommodates such a large group. The volume in the casa a was difficult to hear. My suggestion- increase the guest experience by investing in a better TV brand (Sony or Samsung) with a larger inch. We all set in one house trying to watch a Christmas movie and it was really hard. For the rental company & home owner- maybe include better instructions on where the separate piles should go upon check-out. Should they be left in the room? Should they be left in the kitchen? Overall, this was a great house for our group and the kitchen that allowed us to make Thanksgiving dinner easily. Oh! A portable stand would be great too! It'll help multiple chefs!
