Starting with valuating the property by exploring comps in the area and organizing an open house to bring attention to other brokers, my home was marketed extremely well.

Selling a personal home can be quite emotional and they were there to support me throughout the process. I cannot imagine another firm offering better service.

If you're considering renting from Union Properties in Gainesville, I encourage you to carefully…read morereview tenant experiences before signing a lease. On my scheduled move-in day, the property was not ready for occupancy, it was dirty, unsanitary, and required me to postpone my move at the last minute. Shortly after moving in, the bathtub leaked under the floorboard and caused flooding that spread into my bedroom and damaged personal belongings. The plumber said it was completely avoidable if they had only done a thorough check before renting. Throughout my tenancy, multiple maintenance issues went unresolved or were handled poorly, including broken blinds that were never properly repaired despite repeated requests. I also experienced privacy concerns when workers arrived without notice and looked through my windows, and after a pressure-washing visit, my air conditioning stopped working, leaving me without AC for two months during a Florida summer. Despite these issues, I made every effort to leave the property in excellent condition, spending hours deep cleaning, completing all required move-out procedures, and even returning my keys early. Nevertheless, more than half of my security deposit was withheld. Between the poor condition at move-in, property damage caused by maintenance issues, lack of timely repairs, privacy concerns, and disputed deposit deductions, my experience was frustrating and costly. I'm sharing this so prospective renters can make an informed decision and avoid the stress, inconvenience, and expenses I experienced during my tenancy.

They have been a nightmare so far. Our HOA just switched over to them here in gainesville from…read moreVESTA properties for longleaf. We have always payed our bills on time and have never been accused of having delinquent charges with our HOA but when the HOA changed from one management company to bosshard, suddenly bosshard tacked onto our bills an additional 175$ of unpaid billing they claimed was provided to them from the HOA as outstanding or prior balances. None of this so far has panned out to be true and our entire community in longleaf has been affected. They've handled the situation terribly , no email, no warning about additional incoming charges, just a sneaky addon that we had to find out through the community about. When trying to deal with them by phone about this issue, it took ALOT of community members calling and asking for answers to get any sort of response from them. As of yet, this issue has not been resolved, they are reviewing our accounts per their email, but I have access to the ledger as its my right and I can see there is no 175$ outstanding balance. I am demanding a full refund since they took the money out with the monthly HOA cost and I had set up automatic payment. P.S. I have never left a review before but being treated this way I felt it my obligation to speak out especially since the activity looks illegal and fraudulent. 5/13/2026 Edit: I had neglected to update this review, as I had left one on google as well. I have improved the review rating due to the correction and resolution that followed. My google review edit is below: "-- 4/14/2026 EDIT: I have received an update from BossHardt regarding my account. For their diligence and swift action in investigating this matter I have improved the rating to 3/5 stars. I am pleased with the communication since the issue began. When the matter is entirely resolved I intend to improve my review rating. Going forward I would recommend that Bosshardt provide a warning to customers about possible discrepancies or additional charges that might be placed on their accounts avoid confusion and frustration this can cause. -- 4/21/2026 EDIT: The matter has been brought to a satisfactory conclusion. I will leave my original review up to reflect the evolution of the concern and resolution. I appreciate Bosshardt for resolving the matter and keeping open communication with me throughout the process and responding to my concerns promptly. To that end they deserve credit."

I unexpectedly had to move and with less than 1 month notice I reached out to Tanya and she came by to inspect my home and didn't exactly walk into a turn key ready home. She suggested a few repairs, got me a range for how much the property can reasonably rent for and as soon as all the agreements were signed, with the help of Tianna, they had vendors getting her estimates and getting started on repairs. Once the repairs were done and my home was put on the market it rented SOOOO quickly! I expected weeks to maybe a month but within days we had a lease signed. As a first time landlord what I appreciated most was the open communication and transparency I got every step of the way. Tianna and Tanya are both very professional and their experience shows.

I got no response from anyone when I reported that the house was dirty and vents were clogged and even sent photos. And then it took almost 4 months to get the broken washer and dryer replaced. Then they discontinued the lawn care when I notified them that I was terminating the lease as I purchased a home. They withheld $50 of my deposit fee because I left a vinyl shower curtain and rings. I paid $350 to have the house professionally cleaned and the curtain was accidentally left. I had hired a lawn service (the one they use) to come trim the hedges and edge the yard. I informed the property management company of this and let them know that the lawn people had been unable to get there due to equipment failure and wet weather as of my move out date (as I was told by the lawn company). I paid for the lawn services (although when I got their invoice it did not include trimming the hedges so they only did the edging. They stated it was a misunderstanding and reduced my bill.) The lawn company charges $65 to do all of this. The property management company withheld $260 from my refund for the lawn care. And another $100 was charged for the "work order" for a total deduction of $410. There may be worse management companies in Gainesville, but this one is certainly not the best!

She did finally call around 8:30 at night and asked what I would like to address. I then stated I wanted to discuss our entrance that has been damaged for a month and a half and still hasn't been repaired. She got extremely rude and stated that's not why I wanted her to call me, I wanted her to call to argue. Which didn't make much sense to me. I stated no you're wrong I want to address the entrance and when we could expect it to be repaired. She would not give me any answers about the question I asked but instead kept insisting I just wanted to argue and actually acted as if she didn't even know about the damage to the entrance. She then told me to "shut up and listen or I will hang up, do you understand me?" My wife heard the entire conversation as my phone was on speaker. After being talked to like that, I replied "well hang up then b!t€h!" She then hung up. She since had her attorney send a cease and desist email to my wife and I. We did share with our community her public record and I also commented that she was a smarta$$ b!t€h, which I still believe is a very fair assessment of her character. She cannot deny that I live in a community she manages because I will be leaving another review about a completely different incident that will include a screenshot of a violation letter sent to us by Golden Rule. Because judging by all of her reviews that seems to be her go to for when the reviews reflect her true character. This morning I was provided clarity on the entrance by the HOA Chairman that lives in our community and the community was thankful for the update. But he does not work for Golden Rule so his attentiveness and detail does not reflect on Golden Rule. Just as many reviews state, April is extremely rude and disrespectful and tries to boss everyone around like she's POTUS. I am a veteran, we have owned this home for going on 15 years, we stay up to date on our dues and we even maintain another yard in our community that isn't kept up with properly. I do not pay $143.23 quarterly to be treated like this. She also told my wife on a social media post that she need mental help. That also seems to be something she says to everyone that exposes her true character. There's much much more but honestly she isn't worth my time.

They refused to fix a fence that broke during Hurricane Irma. That fence is still not fixed to this day. They will raise the cost of your lease with every renewal, regardless of area housing prices. When you move out they will charge you to clean the property and the carpets, regardless if you leave the property spotless and pay a carpet company to clean prior. They do this to hold on to your deposit knowing that the average tenant when moving out doesn't have the time to follow up in small claims court. Overall money grabbing shady practices with no concern for the customer.

I got GRU to come to the house for the energy audit and they disclosed that the A/C unit was old and wasn't properly cooling the house the only thing it was doing was increasing our electrical bill. The water in the Mayer bedroom smells of rotten egg and I called GRU about that and they informed me that it was a plumbing issue with the house. When we moved into the house Aug of last year we came into the house first day to find Ricky Strickland on his phone standing in the kitchen while the kitchen faucet was leaking and there was broken tile on the floor by the glass door. There was ants all over the place and the carpet was damp and smelled. The carpet was torn and dirty and wet. After living in this nightmare Ricky Strickland has the audacity to try and keep our deposit after we left the place on better condition than we found it and we paid for professional cleaning.
