My experience with Acorn + Oak was fine until move-out, which is when everything went downhill. I…read morehave rented several homes in Durham, and this is the only time I have had issues. The property manager, Erin Darnell, made the process unnecessarily difficult and ended up withholding a large portion of my security deposit under questionable claims. I was charged for carpet issues and odor, despite using the cleaning company required by Acorn + Oak, and the cleaning company confirmed there were no stains or pet-related problems at the time of service. I was never informed that the cleaning was considered "unsatisfactory" until after money was taken from my deposit. Erin later claimed a second cleaning was needed, but neither I nor the original vendor were given the opportunity to address this beforehand. Communication was inconsistent, and explanations only came after I repeatedly followed up. I was also charged for mold remediation, even though I reported the issue in compliance with the lease. Despite this, they still held me financially responsible for part of the cost. Although I eventually received a partial refund, it was not clearly explained initially and felt more like damage control than a fair resolution. I have documentation showing the home was left clean and in compliance with the lease. Only one inspection occurred during the three years I lived there, and I was never notified of any maintenance or cleanliness issues at that time. Overall, this felt like an attempt to keep as much of the security deposit as possible. I would strongly caution anyone renting through Acorn + Oak with Erin Darnell as the property manager to document everything and be prepared to push back at move-out. My original property manager was Celeste Sivori, and she was wonderful to work with. She communicated well and was compassionate. She is the reason this review is 2 stars and not 1. I'm truly sad I was not able to work with her for the time I was with Acorn + Oak. From what I can tell, your experience with Acorn + Oak depends heavily on your property manager, so read the reviews about how the property manager you might be working with treats the tenants. Based on my experiences, I would not recommend working with Erin Darnell.

It was so thoughtful because those are the kind of things you never can get access to when you move in. At first. Kudos to Lisa and the company!

Mann is easily the most incompetent and unprofessional agency I've ever encountered. His lack of professionalism and follow through cost his property owner the opportunity to rent his house. Mann was aware that I was coming from nearly 1,000 miles away and had 4 days in which to secure a rental home. His office neglected on multiple occasions to produce a lease despite repeated inquiries. I took the initiative to go to his office and do it myself and bring him the financial terms. I shared that with one of his staffers, who said "that would be good." To my surprise the address ended up being a PO Box in a UPS store! Avoid dealing with this outfit!

It feels like they completely ignore their customers.Theyve sent unprofessional, unwanted vendors to my home to handle cosmetic issues I never requested, and in the process left me without access to a shower for several days despite me specifically asking them not to proceed with that work at this specific time. When my AC went out in the middle of summer and my thermostat was reading 84 degrees, I practically had to beg them to send someone to fix it. On top of that, my rent increases every year, and there are random additional fees that are never clearly explained. While I truly love the townhouse itself, I am choosing to leave solely because dealing with this company has been such a nightmare. On the rare occasion you do get someone to return your calls or follow up they are rude and completely unhelpful.I strongly recommend avoiding this company at all costs.

Having worked with hundreds of Realtors over the years, I highly recommend Justin…read more Justin Burleson is a true professional and a leader in the Triangle market who really stands out; he also runs a great team at Premier Agents Network. I've known Justin by working with him through my business for the past 8 years, which has put me in direct contact with hundreds of Realtors throughout the years. My husband and I met with him in April 2025 to talk about listing and officially hired him to sell our house that June. Even in a tough market with plenty of competition in our own development, he gave us the honest, data-driven advice we needed to set a realistic price. His marketing was excellent and showcased the house perfectly without being overdone--which is something I appreciate. It got people out to see the property, even in our rural area. We were honestly prepared for the long haul, but his strategy worked and we had a full price offer in under a week. Justin's sense for the market is incredible and he is easily one of the best in the business. I wouldn't hesitate to hire him or bring any of his Premier Agents Network team's expertise in to help guide your next move.
