After being with them since around December 2018, the work orders I've submitted usually take a few days to resolve. The broken washer when we initially moved in took roughly a week to fix, and we submitted it as an urgent request. However, I dont really know what they consider is an emergency maintenance request. A broken air conditioner in the middle of the Summer that has gone unresolved for 5 days really sucks (The apartment we are also in has very bad insulation so heat during the summer is intensified in our bedroom. Vice versa in the winter). Also, why do they even have an emergency maintenance number for their after hours voicemail if no one ever responds to it? I've tried several times throughout this and last week to no avail. If their maintenance was a bit better, Investment Realty is easily a 4 or 5 star agency to rent from with decent rates and a good staff.

Within one month, the house sold at the asking price. Todd Vinson handled all the details to make the sale work as smoothly as it did, especially since I am located on the West Coast. Todd Vinson and Cross Creek Realty have my highest recommendation.

We found towel racks superglued to walls and falling off, broken toilet, broken fireplace, broken dishwasher, black sediment in water, carpet lifting up in pieces and shredding when we vacuumed, broken garage doors and more. All things you can't see until you actually go to use them- so initial walk thru was useless. The house was destroyed and we were told the owner didn't have money to fix things. We immediately asked to be let out of our lease but they wouldn't let us out until 2 months before the lease ended. We spent hundreds of dollars repairing the place on our own with very little help from them. We ended up handwashing our dishes for most of the year and showering with water that had black sediment in it. It was a total nightmare- a very expensive nightmare.

Upon move out, families are taken advantage of by an anal retentive inspector who nit picks down to noting dog feces on the yard for which we had no control. Also, I agree with the unfair rekey fee although it is outlined in the document. Pay close attention to your notice to vacate regarding utilities, you will be responsible to pay three business days of service after you vacate or will be charged $150. Be advised read and re-read all documents put in front of you from this establishment. They are iron-clad and there will be no negotiations. 100 percent agree with these well written and accurate comments: "Would not recommend renting. Random BS charges at move out "rekeying locks" and won't do a move out checklist with me present. I hate this company and would NEVER recommend renting from them. Lazy property management company wants to push off all costs onto tenants. For reference the house is very clean and I have always gotten my security deposit back elsewhere minus one or two little charges for things like forgetting to weedwack or couldn't get the oven clean enough. I will be recommending they get put on the "OFF LIMITS" list for Soldiers if I don't get a reasonable refund of deposit. It's not supposed to be free money for the managers. Edit: I was told at move-in that regular wear and tear was permissible but now they are trying to charge me "recleaning" fees and no charges are itemized. No actual prices are listed out, they don't use a checklist with prices like every other rental company. May have to pursue legal action to get anything at all back. They wouldn't accept my notice to vacate at the end of my lease until I signed the agreement they're mentioning, so it's not like the contracts I signed will be enforceable. I had no choice and only signed them hoping to get my deposit back. Very unfair and predatory dealing, normally you can just inform the property manager in writing without signing a contract" "If you lease with them, don't expect to be treated fairly. Do not expect to see your deposit back. They will find any way possible to charge you for anything upon move out. They are all about lining their own pockets. Ask locals around the area about Walker Rentals and you WILL get the truth. This business should be investigated." "I wouldn't recommend renting through them. When I moved out I spent 2 days deep cleaning, called a carpet cleaning company to clean the carpets because walker requires this when moving out even if you don't have pets . And still got more than half of my deposit stolen from me. Saying it wasn't clean. It looked exactly the same as it did when we moved in. On top of that, they claimed that in the 5 months we were there (I'm military and got orders to move) there was a light cover in one of the rooms that wasn't there when we moved out??? Which I never noticed. And my fiancé and I were totally blind sided by when they said this.

Don't let the smooth taste fool you…read more If you are moving to the Fort Wood Area or are a local that is looking to rent a property/home via one of the several property management companies in the area I'd advise shopping around before considering the Property Shop. Walker Real Estate, the parent company of The Property Shop has a fairly large presence in this community. They do a pretty impressive job going full court press with their marketing on bill boards in tow & local radio ads. The message in their ads is that they are #1 and the best in the area, however, claims to such (after my experience renting a home thru The Property Shop) leads me to believe that they are probably #1 one when it comes to sales and profits but definitely NOT with the holistic customer service piece. Here's why: - Lackluster response times to fix problems with the property (took close a week to fix hot water issue, 72+ hours broken garage door). Not sure what the industry standard is but having an insecure garage door and taking 2 min showers for that length of time was disconcerting/not fun. To compound the frustration if you are a tenant and need to talk to a person about these issues at their office in town, you're more or less treated persona non grata for not having an appointment or not having used the online Tenant Portal to report problems. The slick, automated "we got an app for that" attitude seems to be the preferred response to a tenant that comes in to speak with someone from the property management office. If you aren't a tech savvy person or just someone who prefers a human to human interaction to discuss an emergency work order or maintenance issue the office culture may frustrate you. - Nebulous "gotcha" Lease Contract: READ THE FINE PRINT if you want to use this agency!! Getting in is pretty easy- getting out -not so much. There are re-key fees, 15 bucks light bulb replacement fees (to name a few things) that you'll need to be prepared for. READ ALL OF THE CONTRACT and TENANT RESPONSIBILITIES before signing if you're going to use this agency. IF you don't want to feel like Walker is trying their best to keep your security deposit any which way they can- this might not be a place for you. The cleaning inspection at the end of the lease close out process is brutal. It's almost ridiculous. We cleaned the place up better than we found it and still had some things that were unsat. The Inspector was very gracious and let us fix the deficiencies but it was already another slathering of icing on the frustration cake with this organization. If anything: ASK A REP to be present with you and that they bring their magic iPad WHILE YOU DO YOUR WALKTHRU. Said Magic iPad has a detailed photo record of the property prior to a tenant moving in. I was charged for damage to a small part of the kitchen counter area covered up by the stove. Not saying it didn't happen but I have no recollection of it happening during my tenure- but the magic IPad said it probably did....I could go on about the potential conflicts of interest this agency could have when using this method- especially since this property was supposed to be transitioned over to their Realty sales side of the house as an asset that is going on the market after my departure. . All I will offer is my opinion and say that the best way to avoid any perception of malfeasance from BOTH parties is to execute a joint new tenant's 72 hour walk thru inspection with the magic iPad riding shotgun. Being a little more transparent and doing this with the Tenant will mitigate any potential for issues down the road. AGAIN- If you are still considering using this agency PLEASE read the contract- there are provisos and things tenants should be cognizant of. I'm retired military and have rented from property management firms for many, many years, and this property management office business practices are quite different than what I'm comfortable with. Be advised when it comes time to terminate your lease- there will be a lot of work and $ to outlay to get it back up to "the Walker Standard" if you want your deposit back. AND Remember their Rules when it comes time to move in and move out: 1) YOU have 72 hours to do an inspection to report deficiencies back to the property management company. 2) They have 30 days to walk behind you (or peep the magic iPad) after the termination of lease finalinspection is done before you see a check with your security deposit money back. I'm not implying that they do this as SOP but it did happen with me.

They consistently have accounting errors, double payments, and hidden upcharges to their owners for insurance they sell them. Along with that, expect maintenance costs every single month-- not one month has gone by without some form of random maintenance cost in the last year. All maintenance is handled by their IN-HOUSE COMPANY, so they're profiting on both ends. The least I can say for them is that they respond to emails and calls, but these mistakes, upcharges, and issues shouldn't be happening in the first place. Do not use this company for property management unless you want to practically self-manage both the management AND the property.

I would say probably the most poorly managed rental property I have ever rented from. They look…read morenice and aren't bad for the money but I have had more problems than any other place I have lived. When I looked at the apartment and was shown the master bedroom there were hundreds of lady bugs covering the walls and ceilings so the girl just said "oh we have another unit instead". This unit is on the only unpaved road with a hole so big when you drive in it will cause damage to your vehicle no matter what you drive. I have had numerous maintenance issues that were poorly resolved until multiple calls to the company and later found out two of the maintenance men were fired in the short time I was here because they obviously couldn't do their jobs. One flooded my apartment and in doing so used my personal towels and stole them while he was done without even a note until I asked about them. The other would check off jobs as done when they hadn't been started. Next issue they don't disclose that the apartments are part of an HOA so if you want lawn care good luck. Our street gets it 5 times a year and I had to call about that after the weeds were literally 3-4 feet high. Today I woke up and no power because even though electricity is included in my rent somehow they didn't pay apartment even though the rest of the building was paid so it causes extreme complications when you work from home or if it is 100 degrees outside and there is no air conditioning in your apartment. But good news I will get about a $15 credit for my inconvenience.... I've been sent past bills from the company when I had an overage so I could see the cost of how far over my electric went from the allotted amount and on that it shows the bill was passed due that month also. Although it didn't charge me the fee they apparently have problems paying bills on time. The gym has almost every machine broken so don't get excited for that either. It's cheap for the area is all I can say. I do not leave reviews unless necessary but after paying rent on time and hearing all of this about HOA and the blame being pushed around and seriously only lawn care 5 times per year... I wish I could rate this lower. My calls to management were not returned until I came to the office to talk directly to them. At least they were nice enough to give me a $15 credit for my inconvenience today which will probably go straight into an overage charge for having to cool my apartment down after sitting heating up all day with no ac. My advice is don't rent from a complex that multiple companies own units in (which you aren't told) and are forced to go through HOAs.
