He was always VERY responsive in terms of maintenance and anything else that needed to be done urgently, such as when hot water shut off in the wintertime - it was fixed within the day.

We worked with Acorn + Oak for roughly 3 years managing our rental property, and unfortunately our…read moreexperience steadily declined over time due to poor communication, constant turnover in points of contact, and lack of follow-through. The final issue that led us to terminate management involved landscaping/tree work that perfectly summarized the broader problems we experienced throughout the relationship. We requested quotes for landscaping work in mid-March and did not receive them until we followed up weeks later. When the quote finally arrived, the pricing didn't add up correctly and had to be clarified after additional follow-up. We approved what was described as trimming and cleanup work, but communication throughout the process remained inconsistent. Scheduled work dates were missed, partial work was completed without updates, equipment was left at the property, and both we and the tenant repeatedly had to ask for status updates. Most concerning, a large holly/privacy barrier on the property was cut back far beyond what was communicated in the approved scope of work. We were later told after the fact that the vendor believed mildew/mold treatment required such an aggressive cutback, but that was never explained to us before the work was performed. Had that been communicated upfront, we would have had the opportunity to discuss options and understand the actual scope of work being approved. The larger issue, though, was not just the landscaping situation itself -- it was the ongoing lack of proactive communication and oversight. Over the course of our time with Acorn + Oak, we went through multiple points of contact and consistently found ourselves needing to follow up for updates, quotes, scheduling information, and basic responses. Even our tenant expressed frustration with delays and communication issues. For a company charging a 10% management fee, we expected significantly better service, coordination, and accountability. Instead, the experience often created more stress and work for us rather than less. The Broker in Charge ultimately allowed us to terminate our agreement early, and we are now self-managing the property while evaluating better long-term options. I rarely leave negative reviews, but I think it's important for prospective owners to understand that communication and consistency were major issues in our experience.

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!

I will say they were fantastic right up to the point i moved in. with in weeks i had a water leak from the master bathroom requiring the master bath shower and tub to be removed and replace, (a three month process). (they knew about the issue before i moved in and did not address it, but painted the ceiling to cover the damage before i moved in.) they will conduct a 6 month review on the property. i get it, no problem but the old man that showed up came with a 360 camera. the same setups that relators use to show case a property. when i refused to let them use the camera they gave me attitude. they kept saying it was in the lease so i asked them to show me where i agreed to this. then they just conducted a walk thru and found now issues. also, it those two years, the washer failed three times and they finally replaced it. then the microwave/oven unit failed and they replaced it after a few weeks. at move out i requested a walk thru and they refused to complete one with me. i had to call three times a day for over two weeks before some idiot answered the phone and told me i would get any part of the deposit that wasn't used in 60 days. but he couldn't tell me what they were going to charge me for. please, rent from anyone else in wake county. absolutely anyone else.

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.
