I had to pay everything out of my own pocket. I have a full paper trail and phone call logs about every single time I've tried to contact them and never fixed anything. I was living in my house for 3 years with NO LEASE because they would NEVER have anyone send me the paper work to sign and fill it out!! HOW DOSE THAT EVEN HAPPEN?! Britney Covin did NOT want to hear me about anything but wanted 6,000 because they closed down my portal to my rent, didn't want to send my ANY information to have that updated. Best believe I have a great attorney.

I would give 0 stars if I could. We have had bad experiences with realtor companies while leasing…read morebefore, but nothing like what we experienced with Key. Soon after moving in we discovered we had a leak in our roof, which then turned out to be several leaks all over the house. During the 12 month period we rented through them they sent maintenance out probably at least 5 times to "fix" it. It was NEVER corrected. We had asked for them to get professional roofers involved since it wasn't getting fix, it must have been beyond what maintenance could take care of. They sent a company out for a quote but nothing ever came of it. We can only assume they didn't want to spend the money on it. So nearly the entire 12 months we had leaks every time it rained, we had ceiling panels swell up with water, ceiling panels fall to the floor, who knows what growing in the framing, insulation and paneling. The last 3-4 months of the lease I was pregnant, so who knows what my baby and I were exposed to living with that mess!!! Had we been able to find a place we could afford sooner we would have broken our lease and moved early, as we would have had a right to. Sadly that didn't happen, but I am still angry our health and well-being was disregarded by this company. We had other complaints and maintenance requests that were never taken care of either, like a front porch that would swell with rain so the front door could hardly open, and the porch felt like it could collapse at any moment since it was most likely rotting. Bottom line, if you care about your families health and safety, steer clear! They may be nice enough people but they don't run their rental properties worth a damn. I have attached some of the pictures I took of various leaks we dealt with during our lease. There were others, some with ceiling tile falling out, but I don't have all of the pictures saved to my current phone to attach them. Please note, at NO point did the leasing office ever seem to consider this an emergency or a health hazard.

She is a seasoned veteran and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.

We rented a property through Gerard Property Management without seeing it in person, and…read moreunfortunately that decision exposed serious issues with how the unit was prepared. The home was not properly turned over prior to move-in. There were large, visible patch jobs on multiple walls, and the overall cleanliness was unacceptable. The condition of the unit upon arrival was far below any reasonable standard--unsanitary and clearly not ready for occupancy. And when I brought these issues to their attention, that was definitely something that they leaned on that this was site unseen, which was completely unacceptable. As someone with 10 years of experience in property management, I find it deeply concerning that a company would present a property in this state. There is a baseline level of care and habitability that management companies are responsible for, regardless of owner involvement. That standard was not met here. We had to arrange for professional cleaners two days in an row after move-in, totaling 16 hours of work just to make the space livable. Maintenance issues took OVER a full week to address. During this process, communication was inconsistent. When I raised these concerns with Cydney, I was told I was being "nitpicky," which was both dismissive and unprofessional given the severity of the issues. Questioning how SHE lives. Afterward, another representative (Jason/Justin) stepped in and did provide a rent credit while repairs and cleaning were completed, which was appreciated. However, the lack of accountability, poor communication, and initial condition of the property reflect broader operational issues. For property owners, I would caution that this company may not adequately protect or maintain your investment. For prospective tenants, I strongly advise against renting sight unseen through this management company. The experience suggests a pattern of inadequate preparation and reactive--not proactive--management.

Hope they are better realtors than property managers because they suck. I had to call them during…read morethe whole process to find out what was going on with the house we were trying to rent. Never once did they contact me. Finally they said they needed one more week to clean before we could move in. Well when I moved in nothing had been done, no dusting or cleaning of any kind, holes in the walls trash in the yard. Worse thing is the carpets are stained from previous renters and never sent anyone out to attempt to clean them. Disgusted by the condition of the house when we got it and the poor customer service. I feel bad for the owners of this house because it's not being taken care of by the people being paid to take care of it.

But fast forward to move out. We hired a cleaning service to clean the house as we always do when we move because we always have gotten our deposits back this way. Apparently not this time. Shawna, the owner/broker of Red Apple is rude, condescending and extremely unprofessional when it comes to dealing with issues and disputes. It's unfortunate to have someone in charge who is wreckless with their behavior and customs service. Word of mouth travels fast and far however. With enough bad reviews because of her, maybe it'll make a difference or maybe not. But I warn anyone that is considering Red Apple to reconsider. There are plenty of realtors who will appreciate a good tenant who pays on time and often really. I had a friend who experience the same thing and I regret not listening.

I lived in a Cooksey rental property for a year. Before a month into our contract we had informed…read morethem of a LONG list of problems with the property that became apparent upon moving in: broken cabinets, non-functional garage doors, bugs, heavily stained carpets. After 2-3 calls Cooksey did just enough to keep us at bay - sprayed for bugs, sent someone to assess the garage doors (ignored the carpets and cabinets). Upon moving out, Cooksey began to attempt to bill us for things that were never taken care of, and not damaged by us: dirty carpets, garage doors. Overall, the contract with Cooksey was painful and frustrating. Beyond things not getting done, my main frustration was with the way my roommates and I were handled. Never were things taken care of timely or fully. Icing on the cake, VERY rude interactions over the phone and always avoided what was really going on. Don't rent from Cooksey.

I was asking about a rental property and instead of just telling me that they were in the process of fixing it up they went into great detail of everything that was being done and why. Then when I asked about their pet policy they said that they only "do" one pet, and since I had 2 they couldn't help me out, but if I had one they could. Which felt to me like they were implying if I should get rid of a pet I should get back in contact with them. From what I experienced over the phone I am very leery about trusting this company. They might be great to work with, but they seriously need to hire someone who has some better people skills to answer phone calls.
