The accounting staff has lots of issues and needs work but over all, I've loved renting with this management team and will continue to do so until they price me out of my apartment.

We only rented from Steven's Realty as a last resort. We already knew they had a bad reputation,…read morebut we didn't know it was going to be this bad. And now that we've lived it, we feel like it's our responsibility to warn others: rent from them only if you have absolutely NO other choice. Here's what we experienced: * We were given only one working key at move in. The others left for us (that they left in our mailbox and didnt bother to tell us about btw) didn't even work, which is both a security risk and a basic failure of preparation. * Our front door DOESNT EVEN SHUT, weve been trying to get it fixed for the month and 2 weeks weve been here, the fix they DID do was half assed, and on the 4th the door stopped closing AGAIN and that night one of our kitties escaped and we havent seenn her since. You can literally see chunks of light through the gaps and when it rains, water pools inside the duplex. * The apartment reeked of wet dog due to uncleaned carpets, something we raised concern about multiple times before signing the lease and signed only under terms of the carpett being odor free. We were promised it would be addressed. It wasn't. Even after move in, we followed up again and they did nothing. The office ghosted us, ignored work orders, and took zero accountability. We have full documentation and photos of everything. This wasn't just miscommunication,this was neglect. I didnt even MENTION the roaches!!! If you're even thinking about renting from Steven's Realty, please know: You'd be better off doing week to week at a motel than signing a lease with these people. We do not recommend them under any circumstance. Unless you're absolutely out of options. We're sharing this to save someone else the stress, the health risks, and the total lack of support we are going through. You deserve better than this.

Got a security deposit breakdown for after we moved out. $300 to haul items off/dump fee (chain…read morelink fence), the chain link fence was on the property before we even started renting it, damage was from a massive storm years back that they decided not fix, the other haul fee was for the original refrigerator that broke and they said they would come pick up but never did. Letter states rat infestation was found, something we made them aware of because they decided to drill holes in the ground that gave rodents easy access inside the home, and was the sole reason we had left.

I don't have a clue why they are even in business because they sure don't manage anything! We have…read morebeen leasing a private property through them for almost five years now and anytime we have a major issue requiring them to repair or replace something on the property it takes several days just to get them on the phone. It should be a law in the state of Tennessee if a tenant isn't allowed to contact a repairman for service in an emergency then the management office should have an emergency contact number. Once you do get someone on the phone pray that its not Bill Shreckengost the owner because he is so incapable of handling anything that you are likely to have a stroke just trying to get him to understand what you are saying! They run this office only part time and at one point I overheard one of the office staff say they were managing close to 1000 properties in the area. Well with there hands off, phones off style of property management I guess they might be able to mishandle that many! We are very satisfied with our property, just extremely dissatisfied with what we have to go thru and the conditions we have to deal with trying to get this lame excuse for a company to do what its getting paid to do.

After a somewhat challenging Google search for a realtor in our new town of Cookeville, I…read moreremembered that Dave Ramsey has an affiliate network of trusted realtors. I reached out and immediately was contacted by three different Ramsey-approved realtors, including Tyler Wilson from the Skender Newton Group. With our schedules only allowing for a one weekend buying trip, there was no time to waste in making sure we had someone who fully understood our needs and preferences. While all of the realtors were accommodating, friendly, and competent, I ultimately decided to go with Tyler because he was the only one who asked me specific questions and really sought to understand what it was WE were looking for, rather than trying to sell me on his credentials. Tyler was just enough of everything for us -- whether it be the type of contact, the flow of communication/info, or the pleasantries, he expertly mirrored what we prefer -- again, not making it about himself but truly about us. This made the buying experience enjoyable, stress-free, and even fun! Tyler lined up all eight houses we wanted to see for a full day of viewings and even timed them all to the best route! A real local, he knew the areas very well. He would drive us through nearby neighborhoods rather than the main route so we could get a feel for the vibe and he even added a house to our list that we hadn't asked for because he knew we would want to see the area. In the end, this was actually the house we bought! If not for him, we wouldn't have even thought to look at it. We couldn't have been happier with our buying experience with Tyler -- he was the utmost in professional and courteous while consistently putting our needs first. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Cookeville area!

We would not recommend this realtor. We felt misled throughout the entire process, and our best…read moreinterests were clearly not the priority. We also had serious concerns about a conflict of interest that affected our confidence in his representation. He was condescending, dismissive of our decisions, and consistently spoke to us as though we were incapable of understanding the process. Instead of advocating for his clients, he tried to control every aspect of the transaction. Overall, this was an unprofessional and deeply disappointing experience.

After seven long years of searching for our forever home, leasing in Florida three years and…read moreTennessee almost four years, our unplanned move was necessitated as the owners of the house we were leasing needed their house back...in 30 days. Literally, we had less than a month to relocate. A month that included a long holiday when many businesses were closed. Our adventure began on Friday of Independence Week... how appropriate! The first two houses we were interested in, quickly became unavailable. By chance, I sent Gwin Home & Garden Realty an inquiry about a house on the market. I indicated that this house was the style we were looking for and that by the information on the website, it appears to check all the boxes. Almost immediately, I received a response from Realtor Genelle, who said "I believe I have your house" and we immediately made an appointment to tour this home, along with a few others. This house was in a location we were unfamiliar with but Genelle took the time, on that Sunday, to show us around with great patience and intuition. She was right, the first house she showed us was the house we loved and we placed an offer. Genelle patiently and with great expertise, worked with us and her team to manage all the details in a week full of holiday obstacles. Over the next few weeks, Genelle was right there coordinating with the lender and his team, the seller and her team, as well as, the Title company to make this purchase process flawless. While Genelle and her team worked their magic, our processes a hour and half away included movers, packers, cleaners and good-byes. Genelle came though on time and under budget and we are incredibly grateful. We love our forever home. Thank you, Genelle Thomas and the wonderful team at Gwin Realty in Crossville, Tennessee.

A dream was created when we visited Cookeville 10 months ago. Finding Kelly Davis of First Reality…read morewas like finding our fairy god mother who could make our wish come true. She never gave up looking for a perfect place for us while we went back to California to pack up, sell and move back to Tennessee. Kelly was willing to do distance walk-throughs on houses that interested us. She heard, I mean really HEARD our desires for our perfect place and she wasn't afraid to tell us when a certain place would not work out for us. When our house sold, she was ready to put in the long hours and miles to find that dream and make it a reality. We drove out in an older motorhome and a pickup truck. We gave 90% of our belongings away back west because we were that serious about our move. Kelly never gave up, looking at listing after listing. She was contacting fellow realtors and searching every option. One day, a place came up and she instinctively knew this was the one. Was it everything we wanted? Not everything...but our "everythings" changed over time as Kelly taught us about Tennessee and the Cookeville area. We agreed to meet her at the location and just driving up the street to the property, we knew it was our dream home! The three of us knew our future was on this property. Kelly had found and fulfilled the dream making all of our wishes come true. Moving to Tennessee and living in Cookeville is the dream! Beautiful countryside, wonderful people, great churches and more fun things to do than you have time for! Thank you Kelly Davis and First Reality for going above and beyond to give us a beautiful home and property!
