I'm so happy I had Kevin Collier help me find a brilliant apartment in Houston. He made the process…read morefun and effortless! Kevin has a ton of knowledge and answered every question I had!! He even asked an old client about his experience at a property I was considering. Kevin called every property I was interested to get information before I toured them with him about rent and square footage on their units in my price range. He took notes on all the properties he called and gave them to me so I would not feel overwhelmed with details. This allowed me to fully concentrate on what I thought about each property in order to decide if it was a right fit for me. You will be so glad you got Kevin's help!!! I would happily enlist his help again anytime I am considering moving or recommend him to anyone else!!!

ULR seems to come highly praised however my personal experience has been quite annoying. I asked an…read moreagent over two years ago to help me look for an apartment within a specific price range. Once I no longer needed his service (I found my own place), he continued to spam my E-mail account with invitations to rental/homebuying events to promote his business. I had to ask him a few times with a call to the office to request this to stop. It started with LinkedIn, and then through other similar social media mediums, then E-mail. Finally the office took care of it and I had to take the extra step to block him. Then, two years later, another agent who connected with me through LinkedIn as well began to do the same practice. In no way did I ever ask to opt-in to any of these invitations. That means I'm on another distribution list that I never agreed to. She is sending Evites--without any opt-out buttons. I had to contact ULR again, and another agent profusely apologized to me. I'm not into this spamming marketing practice because quite honestly, it cheapens a business and creates a desperate image. Do some of these agents like getting cold calls from random numbers themselves and pressured into something they don't need? I don't think any of us do! So it would imply that with common sense, you shouldn't do what you don't enjoy yourself, to people who aren't clearly requesting your service. The agent who helped me get myself removed from a distribution list (again) says that she doesn't practice those methods herself and aren't exemplary of ULR as a whole, but no one seems to be encouraging or reminding other agents to stop the SPAM method. I never experience this when I contact an agent through HAR. Bottom line: I get it, it works once on a blue moon, but if you're about branding yourself as a high quality agent, this spam stuff is not a lot of people's cup of tea. Try this instead, reach out to a potential client directly and ask if they're currently interested in renting/buying or would like to remain in touch in the future if neither are currently an option. Don't force me into your impersonal mass distribution list against my will. Here's the Federal Trade Commmissin FAQ on SPAM stating you must include information on how to opt-out of receiving future E-mail and honor opt-out requests immediately: https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/blogs/business-blog/2015/08/candid-answers-can-spam-questions

We put the golden list of what we working looking for, and up came his name as the right fit. And it was right... Working with Evan has been an amazing experience from the beginning. I can't say enough. The communication Grade A - incredibly responsive, provides weekly market updates with insight and recommendations based on expertise. Customer service is impecable. And when our sale faced obstacles, he did everything in his power to fight it to the end. His good nature, positive attitude and driving force got us all the way to the finish line.

After reading the reviews, I noticed most of the high ratings come from owners. That might explain…read morethe difference in experience, because as a tenant this company was difficult to deal with. Email communication often felt passive aggressive and any time I asked a simple question, I got long policy explanations instead of a real answer. I had to follow up several times just to try to renew my lease and kept getting the runaround. I eventually moved because paying rent on time should not come with that much hassle or uncertainty. I rarely needed maintenance since I handled most things myself. Getting my security deposit back took far too long and every time I asked about it, I got more excuses. They charged a 250 application fee, a 25 per person monthly service fee on top of rent, and even offered a 95 option to fast track the return of my own security deposit. On top of that, they offered to charge 495 for move out cleaning. No thanks I can do that myself. I've never ever not gotten back a security deposit. I'm not that person. Everything felt transactional and unnecessary, which honestly pushed me toward leaving. Right before my lease ended, I sent notice that I was moving. Even then, I got what felt like an automated message telling me my renters insurance needed to be confirmed for the next year. I replied saying I was moving out in a few days and still had insurance, and the response I got back basically told me to send proof or be charged 10 dollars. I am not letting anyone nickel and dime me over things like that. 10 dollars. Please quit the shit. Owners may have a smoother experience, but tenants deal with a very different side of things. Best of luck if you decide to rent from them. I will not be using them again. As a property owner and a renter, this definitely isn't the way people should be treated ever. I only have 2 stars because after 30 plus days I got my deposit back. Minus a f*+^€n 5.00 e-check fee. Yall needed that I guess.

Chandra, D'Adrienne, and their staff are very helpful and worthwhile people.

As a first time homebuyer, they displayed an interest in and a care for my situation.. and hooked me up with some amazing government incentives that really changed my world. Despite my home being located in a tough urban area, last July 2015 they helped sell my first house at a great profit by effectively using customized, targeted marketing strategies.These people are savy and motivated. A truly blessed bunch. Also when I had work out of town, D'Adrienne had my yard done, furnace fixed, and anything else I needed at a very fair price.I trust Sapphire Properties to help me with my growing real estate needs in the future. I'm doing y'all a favor by recommending them to you.. help like theirs is hard to find.

Come June 1st, i found out Evan and Shana would be my new management. These guys are AWESOME!! With my first management company which was a large company, i had to drop off a check downtown.

The responses are super quick- either someone coming to repair or scheduling a repair. I see lots of reviews from the people who hired Evan Howell, they are completely correct with how they treat everyone. If I could do it all over again, I'd look for a rental these guys managed.
