My…read moreexperience with Access Asset Management began on a positive note, but it steadily declined due to what I believe was a lack of professionalism, poor communication, and repeated failures to handle time-sensitive matters appropriately. Several issues that required prompt attention were delayed or mishandled, creating unnecessary stress and putting my housing situation at risk.
The most concerning part of my experience involved the handling of our Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA) lease termination request. My brother, an active-duty U.S. Marine, received military orders requiring relocation. Access Asset Management received his official military orders, a letter from the U.S. Marine Corps, and documentation supporting my status as his dependent. Adam spoke directly with his Staff Sergeant, he openly admitted to the staff Sergeant that they believed I was a liar. It just goes to show the level of professionalism these people carry.
Despite receiving this information, our request was denied. Throughout the process, I felt that the matter was not reviewed with the level of care, objectivity, or understanding that an SCRA request deserves. Instead of relying on the documentation provided, decisions appeared to be made without fully evaluating the facts. After he admittedly stated he was not qualified to make said decision or a "forensic analyst" to properly assess the documents. He still continued to make that choice anyway. Mind you I have a degree in finance and work under a CFO for a nonprofit foundation where my day-to-day tasks include budgeting expenses, as well as internal audits...This forced us into a lengthy dispute that could have been avoided with proper diligence.
I made every effort to resolve the matter professionally and without legal action. I organized the documentation, provided detailed explanations, and attempted to work collaboratively toward a resolution. Unfortunately, I consistently felt dismissed rather than heard.
Another disappointing aspect was the level of professionalism displayed during communications. Adam is definitely a business owner that thrives and functions off of ego and emotion rather than logic; there is no real sense of humanity, compassion, empathy, and or justice unfortunately. Rather than focusing on resolving legitimate concerns, there were comments that I found dismissive and unprofessional, including assumptions that my communications were simply generated by ChatGPT instead of addressing the substance of the issues I raised. In the end, it is completely okay because life goes around and I pray and hope that his children or family never have to experience the level of treatment he expressed onto me and my family. But you also cannot go through life harming others, taking advantage of any one's pure intentions, profiting off of others misfortune or simply being a distasteful person and expect to go unscathed in this life.
Another important thing to note is their office manager and coordinator renewal agent, are for lack of better word, lazy. They often drop the ball on time sensitive matters & don't fact check before responding to any email. I apologize for the words that make come off harshly, but simply it seems that they're a bunch of low-level intelligence people in that office including the administrative assistant but enjoy to speak in condescending tones.
I believe property management companies have a responsibility to understand the laws they are enforcing, particularly when those laws involve protections for active-duty military members and their families. If a company is unsure how to process an SCRA request, it should seek appropriate legal guidance rather than making decisions that could adversely affect military families.
Based on my personal experience, I cannot recommend Access Asset Management--especially to active-duty military members or their families. I hope the company improves its training, communication, and understanding of federal protections so future tenants do not have to go through the same experience.
