I provided dated photos from my move-in that clearly showed the pre-existing condition, but they still withheld my full $1,400 security deposit and billed me an additional $488.50. The lease stated "normal wear and tear excepted," but this was not honored. When I emailed them with my concerns and evidence, I did not receive a satisfactory explanation. Tenants should document everything before moving in and be aware that you may be charged for major repairs that were not your responsibility. I would not rent from this company again based on my experience.

Earlier in the year, I dealt with a carpenter ant infestation, and it took them over a week to send an exterminator--even after I provided videos showing ants crawling out of my windowsill onto my bed and damaging the walls. Very disappointed in the way this company treats tenants, especially since many of us are young college students renting our first property.

I called TM5 based on what I read. Katie called me within a few minutes and we made an appointment to meet. She came with comps, a target price and a marketing plan. We set a price which was fair and a little higher than I expected. The first day the house was on the market I received an offer for the asking price. Well, the offer fell through. Katie assured me that we were in good shape and we continued to have steady traffic for the next few weeks. I received an offer and accepted it. We are closing within a couple days. During the time my house was listed, I needed a recommendation for a roofer and lawn service. The people Katie suggested were the best. Not residing in Bryan, I would have had no chance picking these companies at random. This relieved a lot of stress while my house was vacant for a few weeks. I highly recommend TM5. If you happen to have chance to work with Katie, jump on it. She is terrific!

I wanted to warn the community about "At home properties"…read moreWhen we first got to college station, we didn't know where to live.

When I asked the at home properties to help with the sit, all they could do is talk about how I should get with the neighbor attached to the duplex and schedule a spray with them becsuse they said the bugs would go from their apartment to our When we would spray. Last but not least, after we had to leave with 2 months left of $1000 rent payments, we cleaned it good and everything and they are now trying to charge us $13,000!

1 star -- Maurey Bell is running a predatory scam under the guise of property management…read more Bell Properties doesn't just "mismanage" homes -- it's a full-blown grift engineered by its owner, Maurey Bell, to extort tenants and line her pockets. I was a perfect tenant for over three years. I gave written notice in January that I was terminating my lease early. I vacated in February after coordinating everything in good faith with her leasing coordinator. What did Bell do in return? She pretended the termination never happened. She stalled listing the house for 29 days. She left it listed for 5. She leased it to someone who wouldn't move in until August -- just to keep charging me rent. Then came the threats. Bell charged me over $1,200 in phony late fees and is still holding my $1,400 security deposit hostage. Not a single final accounting. No communication. Just harassment and lies. When confronted, Maurey Bell admitted she saw the termination email -- then denied getting the certified letter I sent. She promised her office would contact me. They never did. But they sure kept racking up fees in the tenant portal. This isn't incompetence. This is intentional fraud. This is Maurey Bell weaponizing the lease agreement against tenants who move out, even when they follow the rules. She has no regard for Texas property law, no shame, and no ethics. Do not rent from this company. Do not trust this woman. Bell Properties is a bottom-feeding operation, and Maurey Bell is the one holding the shovel. UPDATE - In Response to Maurey Bell's Comment: Thank you, Ms. Bell, for publicly admitting that the lease was terminated. That acknowledgment directly contradicts your earlier private messages claiming it was not--and undermines the entire basis for your continued billing and refusal to provide a final accounting. Let me now remind you, and anyone reading this, of what Texas law actually says--since your business practices seem to operate in open defiance of it: Texas Property Code § 91.006 requires landlords to mitigate damages when a tenant vacates early. That means you are legally obligated to make reasonable efforts to re-lease the property. You sat on the listing for 29 days, listed it for just 5, and then signed tenants who couldn't move in until August. That is not mitigation. That is opportunistic stalling to extract rent. Texas Property Code § 92.103 - § 92.109 governs the return of a security deposit. The statute gives you 30 days to issue a final accounting and return the appropriate balance. You failed to do either. You are not allowed to hold a deposit "until the lease ends" unless you're actively calculating damages, which you clearly are not. The lease itself (Section 27E) confirms that the tenant's liability ends when the unit is relet--not at the end of the term. You signed a lease you don't follow and apparently haven't read. Your claim that my decision to move absolves you of your legal duties is laughable. You don't get to ignore binding Texas statutes and then hide behind boilerplate phrases about "adult responsibility." You are a licensed real estate professional who knows better--or should. You've now gone on record, publicly, misrepresenting tenant rights and your own obligations. That's useful, because I will be sharing this with the Texas Real Estate Commission, the Texas Attorney General, and--if necessary--a civil court. You can't gaslight your way out of this one.

I recently contacted Jeff to represent me as a Buyer's agent to purchase a fourplex or duplex in…read moreCollege Station. Rather than represent my interests and help me buy an investment, he immediately referred me to one of his own listings. He was not initially transparent about it and I had to ask him to clarify. Nonetheless, I did like it and thought it was great so I asked him to write up the offer. After weeks of waiting, back-and-forth, and document preparation (the documents he sent over had several mistakes), he ultimately said that the seller wanted to back out of the deal. We had agreed to the deal in email and verbally and there was never any question that we had a deal and would close. I passed up other deals and dropped other negotiations that I was having to buy other properties so I could focus on this one. Jeff caused me economic loss. Throughout the process, Jeff was difficult to get ahold of, and I think he did not operate in good faith and was not transparent with his maneuvering behind the scenes. He lacked professionalism and attention to detail. Perhaps worst of all, upon backing out of the deal we had in writing (email) and verbally, he simply disappeared. He could have called me, been professional, and helped me find a different property. I still have cash and want to buy something! He could have even just went back to the Fourplex I initially wanted to buy. I suspect he disappeared because he was ashamed of what he knew to be unethical behavior. I'm surprised a reputable firm like Century 21 would allow Jeff to hang his broker's license there. I've done several deals as a buyer and seller. For investments and to live in. My mom is a broker in Oregon and I've been around the business for over 25 years. I was even a licensed broker myself for over a year. I respect the profession and appreciate how hard brokers work - but I've also seen my fair share of good and bad brokers. Jeff is not one of the best. I'm really disappointed.
