Outstanding Property Management - Highly Recommended!…read more Rick Soles Property Management has been my trusted management company from 2017 to 2025, and I couldn't be happier with the service they provided over the years. As someone living abroad, I had to rely heavily on their responsiveness and professionalism across different time zones--and they never disappointed. It always felt like the team was just waiting on the other end of the email, ready to resolve any issue quickly and efficiently. They consistently went the extra mile, were always on time, and maintained a high level of professionalism. My tenants throughout the years were also very satisfied with the team, which gave me peace of mind knowing my property was in good hands. That sense of security is exactly why I stayed with them for so long. Recently, they supported me through the process of selling the property, and their help was invaluable. I'm genuinely grateful and proud to recommend Rick Soles Property Management to any property owner looking for top-tier management, or to any tenant seeking a team that truly cares about their needs just as much as the owner's. Thank you for everything!

The agent I worked with,…read moreLisa Rietzes, was pleasant, easy to work with, and clear about the steps I needed to take to rent. When I walked into my new kitchen, there was a gift box there. It contained a roll of toilet paper, a small Hammer, a bottle of water, and several other necessities. It was so thoughtful because those are the kind of things you never can get access to when you move in. At first. Kudos to Lisa and the company!

We worked with Acorn + Oak for roughly 3 years managing our rental property, and unfortunately our…read moreexperience steadily declined over time due to poor communication, constant turnover in points of contact, and lack of follow-through. The final issue that led us to terminate management involved landscaping/tree work that perfectly summarized the broader problems we experienced throughout the relationship. We requested quotes for landscaping work in mid-March and did not receive them until we followed up weeks later. When the quote finally arrived, the pricing didn't add up correctly and had to be clarified after additional follow-up. We approved what was described as trimming and cleanup work, but communication throughout the process remained inconsistent. Scheduled work dates were missed, partial work was completed without updates, equipment was left at the property, and both we and the tenant repeatedly had to ask for status updates. Most concerning, a large holly/privacy barrier on the property was cut back far beyond what was communicated in the approved scope of work. We were later told after the fact that the vendor believed mildew/mold treatment required such an aggressive cutback, but that was never explained to us before the work was performed. Had that been communicated upfront, we would have had the opportunity to discuss options and understand the actual scope of work being approved. The larger issue, though, was not just the landscaping situation itself -- it was the ongoing lack of proactive communication and oversight. Over the course of our time with Acorn + Oak, we went through multiple points of contact and consistently found ourselves needing to follow up for updates, quotes, scheduling information, and basic responses. Even our tenant expressed frustration with delays and communication issues. For a company charging a 10% management fee, we expected significantly better service, coordination, and accountability. Instead, the experience often created more stress and work for us rather than less. The Broker in Charge ultimately allowed us to terminate our agreement early, and we are now self-managing the property while evaluating better long-term options. I rarely leave negative reviews, but I think it's important for prospective owners to understand that communication and consistency were major issues in our experience.

They were EXTREMELY knowledgable on market conditions in RDU, have a great network with other realtors, have a slew of handyman/painters/repairmen for any repairs that you may need, and understand "what it takes" to buy or sell a home in this area.

We’re taking a fundamentally different approach by questioning the norms of the industry and creating truly great outcomes for everyone involved. So property investors can thrive.
