We were in the same buying power as the 'investors' like, which caused us to be outbid multiple times. We placed offers on at least 10 houses, they kept falling through, and even when I was exasperated, she never gave up, driving me all over town, finally finding a house that was perfect for what we needed. The closing simply proved to us how much God wanted us in that house. The second time, she sold that house so we could move on, for $3k over asking, before it ever hit the MLS. She helped us figure out exactly what was needed to make it a buyers dream without spending a fortune. She's always kind, answers anything, even crazy questions that have obvious answers- with diligent patience. We can't wait to work with her again soon to buy our forever and ever home.

I just wanted to take a minute and send a HUGE thank you to Chris and The Family Real Estate Group…read moreas a whole. We had been working with a contractor/real estate agent for several months, who abandoned our project and was trying to bully us into making decisions that were not in our best interest. By the grace of God, we came across this agency while looking for an appraisal to see where we were. He immediately stepped up, realized we were in trouble and went to work with us. He patiently stood by us while we tried for months to terminate our contract with the original realtor and was an invaluable mentor through the entire process. With Chris's help, we were able to get referrals to TRUSTWORTHY contractors, get the work done, and he worked tirelessly to get the house shown, advise us on what needed to be done, fielded phone calls and emails, re-listed, aggressively marketed, and supervised the progress every day. We finally closed YESTERDAY, and would not have been able to do it without his help and the support of his team. We will forever be grateful for his unwavering support and service to us. Today, we have a happy ending, and my parents' future is secure thanks to Chris and The Family Real Estate Group. YOU WILL NOT FIND A BETTER GROUP of realtors in Charleston. Thank you again!

I knew I needed a property manager, and after interviewing several, I knew I found what I was looking for with Colleen. She was beyond helpful and flexible advising me on how to prepare my home, focusing on what mattered and what I could let go of. She is very professional and knowledgeable about her trade, addition to being incredibly warm and down to earth. She has processes for everything which was a huge comfort in knowing exactly how things would be handled and that my guests would have a five star experience. My home is now being rented, and I couldn't be more pleased with the guest reviews, stating the house was exceptionally clean and the amenities made their stay very comfortable. I know if anything comes up, she has it handled, and I don't have to worry. That's a huge compliment from this control freak.

As a family, we felt we should have been afforded an explanation as to why our lease had not been renewed, but there was none. It started with a change in the inspection procedures and non-personable personnel and ended with penalizing our security deposit for an "unclean" home cleaned by a cleaner they explicitly recommended as part of the move out process. In the end, our family recognizes there might have been something we did wrong that brought about the end of our relationship but that was never communicated.

Extremely unprofessional and dishonest company stay far away!…read more Oak Trust Properties has been the most unprofessional company we've ever dealt with in owning a rental property in Charleston. Every time you try to call, you're told the property manager is "in a meeting" and to make matters worse, they don't even have a proper phone system that allows transfers. You're left sitting on one line with no help and no answers. We sent multiple emails to staff and even the owners with no response. The lack of follow-through and communication is beyond frustrating, especially when all we wanted were basic updates on our tenant and lease renewal. The final straw was when they tried to charge us for a lease renewal they never completed -- then claimed they did! Absolutely unacceptable. Dishonest, unreliable, and vindictive because we chose to leave their company. If you value professionalism, integrity, and communication, look elsewhere. Managing a property is stressful enough Oak Trust will only make it worse. Stay clear!
