If you aren't familiar with what to do once you own an investment, I will gladly assist in managing.

In summary: AVOID RENTING FROM AREG. I cannot stress this enough. They do not reliably answer…read moremaintenance issues and will nickel and dime you at every possible opportunity. I'm a level headed person who has only made one or two other Yelp posts as favors to local businesses that I support - I'm not some mean internet troll. People deserve to be warned about AREG! Background context: I'm a 35 year old graduate student at UGA who rented a townhome from this property management group from 2022-2024. Upon move in, the house was filthy. It was abundantly clear that no one had been in to clean the home prior to our move in date, as bathroom cabinets and drawers were full of other people's hair, the kitchen cabinets and pantry had sticky goo stains from other people's food, walls were stained, sinks were dirty, etc. I took it upon myself to throughly clean the home since I had the time - even went as far as steam cleaning the rugs which had to be done twice since they were so dirty. (Please note AREG says they steam clean the rugs prior to move in - this absolutely could not have happened in my case since the rinse water from the rug cleaning machine was actually BLACK). We did have a couple maintenance repairs needed by management (caulking a sink, installing/replacing a broken set of blinds) - this was done within 6 weeks of move in, as I remember it. I was totally fine with the time it took to get repairs, since those weren't emergencies on our end. Then, during our first winter in the home, squirrels decided to move into the attic walls of our home. We could hear them chewing on the wood of the walls starting at 4am most mornings, which, as you can imagine, was awful. We immediately put a maintenance ticket and after 4 weeks going unanswered, the ticket was deleted without being resolved. I immediately filed another (since I was in school and getting no sleep), and after a phone call to the office, received a pest management man out to the house. He patched up some holes and said it would be fixed. The next night, more chewing and scampering noises. We put in another ticket, no response for several weeks, more phone calls, finally a vendor comes out & says the problem is resolved... next night, more chewing and scampering noises. The moral of this story is that AREG doesn't care about you as a tenant. Upon our move out date, we STILL had squirrels living in the walls. FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS. Unreal. I thought that's where it would end, but of course, the bad news never ends with AREG. We moved out 9 days early and were still charged for living those days in the house. We thought moving out 9 days early would give AREG more time to come in and actually paint the house for the next renters... but instead, after our move out inspection, we were charged for every possible issue in the house, even items that weren't listed as tenant responsibilities. I left that house significantly cleaner than how I found it. That favor was returned with $385 in fees that we apparently need to pay for damages and cleaning. The fight goes on with AREG. Utterly miserable company & people to rent from. AVOID!

As you can see from the other one star reviews, ARG is not an ethical business. They don't keep…read morepromises, they take advantage of college kids, their properties are not kept up, and the list goes on. I unfortunately did not read my son's lease before he signed it. I tried to allow my son to learn to become a responsible adult while at the same time trusting a real estate group would not take advantage of him. I was wrong. Blake Underwood is a crook. They have a "No Proration" clause in their lease. This means if you live there for one day of any month, you will pay the full month's rent. As an adult who has signed many leases, this is the first time I have ever seen such a clause. Again, ARG is taking advantage of a specific demographic, college kids. Blake has no remorse and all of these poor reviews back up that fact.

Where to start? The…read morelocation is impeccable. When I first found out about its location, I was initially hesitant because it's on Alps/Broad, so I thought it would be loud... but it's incredibly quiet. There's no obnoxious noise and the residents are courteous. The complex is clean. There's no trash or litter around anywhere. There's a small fenced in area for dogs to run around, which is great. Not many apartments have that. The apartment complex itself is a gated community, so that leaves you with a sense of security. The pool is clean, too. Location!!! WOW the location is AWESOME! There's a back gate to the rear end of the Beechwood shopping center... right across the street from Kroger (and also Chipotle, which takes all my money). It's within (EASY) walking distance between both the Omni Club and BodyPlex. The staff is also awesome. Incredibly accommodating and always willing to address any issues you may have. They hold your USPS packages in the office (FedEx/UPS are left at your door), so you have to go there to get it, but it's really no big deal--there's always somebody there to get your stuff (and boy, did I order a LOT of stuff when I moved in!) One of the coolest things? You can pay your rent through a Visa/Mastercard, so you can maximize benefits of cashback/miles/rewards while paying rent. Neat. As long as I'm in Athens, I plan on living here. Out of 5 stars, it's an easy 5+++. 11/7/2014: It has come to my attention that the carpets are replaced every 5 years, which isn't a big deal realistically, however when the previous tenants of your apartment had two dogs and apparently weren't taken out frequently enough, it can become a problem. I recommend using a blacklight in your apartment prior to moving in--something I did not do until just recently, and the discoveries were quite harsh and abrasive. Unfortunately, when brought to the attention of the management, they informed me that there was nothing they could do. I still think this is the best apartment complex in Athens, but DEFINITELY make sure you know what's going on before you get a room! :)

The management and maintenance staff are always so polite and friendly and work quickly to resolve any issues you have (which are few and far between). The apartments are very well kept and clean. This place is extremely dog friendly! My little dog and I have loved having the park to play in with the other dogs in the neighborhood. Also there are poo bag stations all over and they are constantly stocked and the bins are emptied regularly! It is quiet and perfect for graduate students (and seems to be populated mainly by grad students) who are looking for a nice place and a refuge from the loud and busy atmosphere of downtown. Location is great as it is close to grocery stores and food options! The ground upkeep is awesome and always in great shape.

Christie Paulk with BankSouth Mortgage is an Outstanding Mortgage Banker located in Athens,…read moreGeorgia, 30606. I worked with Christie for almost two years to complete a home loan project in Atlanta, Georgia. From start to finish Christie was very professional and she always provided excellent customer service. She was always available by phone or email answering all my questions and concerns without delays. Even when my project stalled for several months, waiting on Contractors and Surveys, Christie was patient with the entire process. When I reached out to her again after several months, she was just as eager to continue working with me as she was when I initially called her. I'm so grateful to work with Christie Paulk to complete my loan and I would definitely recommend her to all of my family and friends. It indeed has been my pleasure.
