I wanted to share a quick update and highlight the great work Laurie L. has been doing. She has been exceptional at managing her committees, consistently staying on top of violations by maintaining direct communication with inspectors. Additionally, she remains very busy securing competitive bids for various projects across the community. She is truly an OG when it comes to property management. read more

Billy was by far the best inspector at Timarron! He was very thorough and fair. Being an over seeer is not a real way job.

Kim and Cynthia are awesome! They are the best community managers to have. They listen and get the job done.

This is laughable! I live in Hulen Heights and have had serious problems with this Company. I have tried since last week to talk to CJ and she is not returning my calls. HOA made a mistake that is affecting my homes title and she is not even calling me back. i wish I could send you pictures of what they allow from some and how they bully others. read more

Just absolute trash. It's a market where one's choices are basically between variants of turd sandwiches and giant douches... and yet, Real Manage somehow manages to combine all the shitty variants into one giant douchey turd sandwich. It'd almost be impressive if we weren't talking about them wrecking the long-term success and livability of what were meant to be 'affordable starter homes'. read more

Horrible HOA experience. The team working in Cedar Hill seems more focused on raising monthly dues than actually addressing community issues. Despite the increasing costs, very little gets taken care of, and the overall management has been disappointing. There is a clear lack of accountability and follow-through, which leaves residents frustrated and unheard. I truly hope that when the contract ends, the board considers bringing in a new management company that is more responsive and capable of properly maintaining the community. read more

They have no idea how to properly manage neighborhood funds so will make up erroneous violations. Stop signs hanging in neighborhood and torn flags left up for months at a time. Don't waste your time! read more

Do not recommend! If you are renting or buying a place and HOA is Real Image / ACM (system is Ciranet), RUN! They are horrible. They add fees here and there when you don't pay attention. They continue to add more late fees if you don't try to dispute. They send you an email forcing you to replace patio concrete, they quote you the price from their contractor, you need to respond within 25 business days with other proposal for approval or they force you go with their contractor quote. And if you respond with a proposal they will later decline it with whatever reason, end up you need to go with their contractor (or I call it their friends). Shady business. I will not ever want to deal with them again. Glad they don't run anything in NV. read more

The worst firm ever. Every single year we have issues with our pool fobs. They will either not be activated or become deactivated for no reason. This happened yesterday. I left numerous messages for Heather Todd, the property manager and no response at all. I was left to put an "escalated ticket" in which would get me a return call in 3 days. Apparently, no one had a manager that I could talk to and no one was available so now I can't swim in an amenity that I pay dues for until such time as someone at RealManage can pick up the phone and call me back and fix the problem. It is going to be in the mid 90s today and next week in the 100s. RealManage is filled with ineptitude, poor customer service, and gross mismanagement. read more

They deleted my HOA account for turning someone in with a trailer parked infront of my house the past 6 months. Then contacted my place of work about my requests for the trailer to be moved and me being upset that nothing has been done since 08/2025. Highly unprofessional joke of a company. Wow. Thanks guys. This occurred at the Vintage Springs Lockhart Texas location. Idk who you have managing for it but may want to find someone else. Great customer service. Thanks. I've lived in HOAs for the last 60 yrs and have never been talked to / treated like this before. Thanks. read more

It took forever to respond email. service is so bad. They even cannot distinguish car type

They take forever to pay their vendors. I will never do work for a HOA that uses RealManage again. Not worth the time or the hassle.

With intent to be a caregiver for my 90-year old mother, we specifically sought a home with HOA rules to protect her safety (no aggressive dogs without a leash, no unsightly hangings, etc). We settled on Parkway Village in Dallas, managed by RealManage. Since our arrival, we've been threatened and harassed by neighbors that don't put a leash on their German Shepherds, toss bags of dog feces on open walkways, wave bags of dog feces in your front door camera while screaming threats, creep into our front window to intimidate and much more. I've sent countless videos to RealManage detailing each with copies of the RealManage posted HOA rules from their web site. I followed with phone calls and emails for accountability and resolution. RealManage manages would act in shock of the vidoes, declare it "escalated". Accountability from RealManage never occurred as the neighbors bragged "living there for 25 years" and gloating that "RealManage won't do a thing to us". For that part, they were correct. The rules are continually broken and not enforced. The harassment and fear caused my elderly mother to take ill. I was forced to stop caregiving for her in Texas and relocated her to Pittsburgh to stay with others in an HOA situation where the management and managing company do enforce rules for safety and protection. 2 months later as I type this review, there are signs and documents pasted on our front door by these same neighbors. The video of them doing so was sent to RealManage on Thursday. They ignored it, again on Friday and now again into the weekend. We're proceeding to learn all our legal options and share publicly all the videos and the negligence by RealManage that has now endangered the health of an elderly woman while costing a family emotionally and financially. read more

The worst HOA company, they sneak in behind your bushes and investigate the paint. The impose fines, but do not provide pictures of the issue. read more

Highly disappointed with this new management company our HOA has decided to go with. Real Manage has continue to lead us astray with misinformation and string us along for months now. Look at the reviews; I am not the first, just the next. Real Manage is not truthful, but is dismissive. They have so many 1 star comments they can't keep up with them and haven't addressed them for over a year. Come on HOA, tell me you can find a better company than this. read more

In January I was told that they would come out and fix the community fence that runs along the back of my property. It broke off at a knot and there is a sizable hole in my back fence. Never showed or followed up. Since they took over management from the previous HOA, the community has done nothing but go down hill. We have a bunch of residents that should be living in a trailer park due to the way they keep their yards and RealManage won't do anything about it. Why buy a house if you are not going to take care of it. They say they come out once a week to inspect but that is BS and they are lying thru their teeth because some of these yards have been overgrown all summer. read more

RealManage deposits our dues money into their account, then sends us delinquency notices. We show them our bank statements showing that they received our payments and deposited them. This is not enough proof for them. We then must take off time from work to go to the bank and explain the issue to the bank so that the bank can create some type of physical proof that Realmanage did receive the money they already deposited into their account. So at this point the bank is left having to create some form of proof that Realmanage has received and deposited the HOA dues, because RealManage is just that bad. SHOCKING ! ! ! read more

This company are simply scam artist. I live in Stonebridge ranch in McKinney. They took over our property management about 6 months ago. They fine you for a non-detailed violation you call them, fix it, then they fine you again and tell you it was for the same violation but point to a different place. They intentionally wait to inform you of violations (over a month) so they can fine and increase fines. They give you a moving target... (replace these bushes) so you replace them, then they tell you to replace different bushes (that were fine the first time) and just keep fining you over and over as though you never fixed the first occurrence. They wait days to respond to you. They give overly vague responses when they do respond. They are compensated based on how much money they collect and screw you through process in order to maximize collectibles. read more

The Plano office is complete trash. whenever a resident asks a question, we are consistently directed to a portal that should be kept up to date, but never is. the VP is rude and condescending when people have a very simple question. Never admit fault when their due diligence is t done on their part. DO NOT make any agreements with this company. They don't care about anything it collecting a check! read more

Be very wary of your monthly variable billing. Time and time again they have put charges on ours that they can not verify. They bill us and take our money then we have to wait weeks if not months to have credits applied. We are afraid that there are many HOA's out there that don't review their variable billing statement in detail. If you are not there is a 100% chance they are billing you for things that are not legitimate. read more

The hoa manager( Melissa smith) is very unfriendly and extremely authoritative. Lot of my neighbors in our group feels the same . Instead of communicating clearly with residents she waits to impose penalities. I had a issue last year 2024 , when I logged in to pay yearly HOA dues i found there is about 200$ of fines. When i reached out to the manager, that i never recieved the violations, she mentioned violations were sent to my previous residence. I did informed her clearly that i have updated my address under "contact details" tab in your website and not sure why the violations went to previous address. she came back the current address must be updated not under "contact details" but under owner information . While i did not know that and also not sure on what violations needs to be fixed, the went on increasing fines to 900$ . During the process she said many times board is not ready to waive fees/fines. I requested many times to waive this fees instead increasing from 50$ to 900$ as i never recieved this violations and since i now know them i will start working on it but i need time as i have unforseen circumstances that i am going throuh . she refused to help all the way and months of harrasment , but later got it resolved. During this time i was going through a health emergency with covid . Both me and my wife got covid and we are so worried about our two young kids at house. I also lost my job at this time , and at major financial crisis At this peak time of health and financial emergency, this manager harrased me increasing fines for violations clearly went to my previous house. i wish she emailed me about an existing violations in place or atleast tried to work with me while am working on them to resolve by giving additional time instead stressing me to a level that i felt, i will just leave the house and run away. I have another violation of shurbs this year, i recieved a mail, i fixed it . I am sure i did not take more than a month or a little over a month to fix it. But i logged in to pay hoa dues this year and found a 50$ fine. when i reached out to her , her response is "board will not waive fees" . when i said i will check with board , she gets back " baord will reach out to me back " . when i mentioned about her authoritative attitude how she dealt with a similar case in 2024 ( my previous case of address issue where i did not receive violations ) , she mixes up both 2024 and 2025 cases and responds as below : "Hi, If address was incorrect, why didn't you reach out last August, September, October or November? The fine sticks, I drove the community after the inspector and saw your home and the shrubs as well. " Her responses are too bossy, too authoritative, so much of policing , using her power to enforce penalties, she is not transparent, extremely unfriendly. I will start to attend board meetings to express my concerns to board about replacing either real manage, or the real manage manager . cant take this dictator attitude living in my own house . I have few properties in the same area, HOA experience is wonderful . I have few properties out side this area where there is no HOA, City's is very cooperative . I can share those experiences in similar cases with citi employees or other HOA's , Real manage is the experience of a hell compared to my other hoas and cities My other property in same area, for a similar such violation of adding a shrub, i was out of town and missed my mail. But the manager of my other property was so good to email me , and work with me by giving me enough time to fix the issue. I have no idea why Melissa smith is so condesending and exreme when imposing penalities . I feel she enjoys the feeling of may be power to penalize . what if i go for a long vacation ? Penalities should never be the aim of a HOA Even courts waive the penalties or work with citizens to support. truely truely ungrateful company. I wish they never were a HOA company of my community . i will surely raise the harrasment in board meetings until either the company or the manager is replaced by board. read more

Real Manage is the worst. Do NOT use them as your HOA management company. They took over a few months ago and immediately raised our dues. I have made repeated requests over the last month to have a sinking area of my yard investigated and there has been NO attempt to assess the issue. Today we received an email that our monthly dues are DOUBLING as of May 1st. I have lived here 11 years and will be selling my house solely due to the mismanagement of Real Manage. read more

Real Manage is the worst when it comes to transparency with their residents. The common theme is directing residents to their portal to get an answer to a simple question. Only when called out on a basic housekeeping issue on their website, they blame the HOA board for not providing documentation. They have a representative that comes to the monthly HOA meetings so a common courtesy of requesting minutes should justify their outrageous pricing for property management. read more

This company cannot even respond within 24 hours as they are suppose to let alone a week, month or even a year to supply a simple Master Insurance policy as required. Our mortgage company has contacted them, my husband has contacted them, I've contacted them, and our personal insurance agent has contacted them and they can't even respond to a simple request to provide what is required per our contract. We have tried for years and the last time we received the Master Insurance policy was three years ago when our personal insurance agent got a hold of it for us. Now since none of us can get a copy and they don't respond to the murequests made by our mortgage company we are forced every year to pay $1000 for an additional insurance policy on the exterior of our building even though it is not our responsibility to do so. This is the worst company I have EVER dealt with and they should be forced out of business. Now we are being contacted by our mortgage company once again that they are not being provided the Master Insurance policy by this un"Real Manage"less company. Codie at Real Manage is the worst account manager alive!!!! She should be FIRED! RESPONSE: Chris you are blaming the victim. That is NOT good customer service further proving my point. And not once have I gotten a return call from your exec mgmt after numerous VMs to remedy the situation. I have NEVER been verbally abusive to anybody in my life, I'm one of the nicest people you would meet. Am I frustrated, yes. Why am I frustrated? Because your company does not do their job. They NEVER respond and allow a roof to leak for over 3 years, hire terrible contractors, and allow my toddler to be sick with respiratory sicknesses for over a year due to your negligence. And compromising with my HOA LOL. you guys only finally started to come to terms on actually fixing the roof after the County Health Dept was going to fine you and my HOA. I'm the one who offered to get estimates from reputable companies to have it fixed, again doing YOUR jobs. You cost me thousands of dollars because you cannot and will not do your jobs. You honed in on 24 hours but what about over a year? Our mortgage company is doing their job, but your company is not. It's your insurances job to provide the COI every year to our mortgage company and it's your job to make sure they do. My personal insurance gets it to them EVERY YEAR, on time, but yours has NEVER! And when asked for the COI your company says for months it's being prepared or will not provide it. My mortgage company has notated the verbal abuse from your representatives to us during our three way calls. Don't spout your lies to me and others. Fix the problems. read more

Real Manage bought out our existing MC and since that day, things started going downhill. They fired all the local accounting support and moved accounting, including our bank accounts, to Texas. Put us on an 800 number contact and gave us an inexperienced property manager with her hands tied and could hardly do her job. I would suggest you really speak to previous and current clients before you consider Real Manage for your association. It's been a nightmare for over 1 year... Returned checks, attempted fraud on our bank accounts, no replies to most of our requests... Do your due diligence. read more

VERY, VERY, VERY BAD AND EXCRUCIATING 3 YEARS FOR OUR HOA COMMUNITY. They will nickel-and-dime you for EVERYTHING. I don't have enough room to list all of the faults of RealManage. If you want day to day headaches, sign up with RealManage. I'm on the BOD for Briarhill Townhomes in Plano and I'm so happy our 3 years of torment will come to an end on May 31, 2024. I'm only giving them 1 star because there's not an option to choose "zero" stars. read more

They are the worst. Overcharge versus contract. Double dip the bank account for Misc fees. Will not disclose to the homeowner the HOA transfer fees and have been fraudulently overcharging their fees and refuse to answer to disclosure requests.

This company is unbelievable. I have lived here for 21 years and never had a problem until this management group took over our HOA. They changed my billing and HOA information when someone in my household that is not on the HOA account, not on the home loan, or the title sent them a pool card waiver form to activate the summer pool card. I was not receiving any mailed statements anymore, or emails from the HOA. I realized this and logged in to see what was going on and saw that I had $135 in fees and missed HOA payment. I immediately paid the HOA fees and disputed the fees due to them sending everything to the person that sent them a pool card waiver with an unmonitored email and that is not on the account or the home. They refused because they said they sent them to the afore mentioned email even though I told them that was not mine and never had been. I asked for escalation and they just continued to add on late fees ON THE LATE FEES, since I had paid the dues already. They then told me several times that this was escalated and the board would review. After months I went to one of the committee members in person to request a board hearing. They then waived the fees only 2 months and not all the way back to July when I first brought this to their attention as a dispute. I am having to take these guys to court and add in attorney fees, because they cannot use one bit of common sense like any normal company would. They should have waived the $135 in fees, not continue to charge until there is $400 in fees that are just fees for fees. No HOA dues are unpaid. read more

I would never recommend this HOA management company. They do not mail out violations. My neighborhood looks like trash! You can not get ahold of these people to have a conversation either. You can only email or submit requests through the portal. Our HOA pays them to "manage" nothing! They weren't doing the "inspections" due to COVID. All they need to do is drive the neighborhood. Clearly they never had because I have 2 neighbors in multiple violations for over 18 months. I've submitted complaints, still... nothing done. read more

RealManage Dallas - This house has 4 different potential violations. This company doesn't enforce anything! - Homeowner Association Near Me - Plano, Texas

The incompetence of this company is astounding. You will kick yourself if you sign with them. And DO NOT sign a 3 year agreement. Only sign a 1 year contract so you can fire them after. Never been more frustrated than I am. We work with other management companies, by far, they are the absolute worst. read more

I sold my house last fall in Lewisville, Texas. My automatic payment for the HOA was accidentally auto payment was sent out after it was sold. I emailed Real management three or four times in the following months or two with no reply. And then I received a reply that said, I needed to send them all the original papers from my real estate company showing that I actually sold the house. My house was sold to someone else and they started paying the HOA through Real management. I have moved to a different country and this task was impossible for me to complete. They knew I moved, they knew that the payment was accidentally sent out yet they never refunded me the $202. Crooks! try to avoid using them so you don't have to unfortunately get ripped off like I did. read more

Real Manage is not managing our HOA any longer and even though they did repair the sidewalk the company did as little as possible to our common areas. I am glad the do not manage our HOA any longer. The company we currently have is a smaller company managed by one individual but the difference is huge! I hope my review helps when looking for a new HOA management company. Good luck! read more

This property management company does not return phone calls, nor do they respond to email. There is a dead animal in our neighborhood, rotting now as it has been three days. HOA was notified Sunday, you would think they notified property management company. HOA is blaming City of Irving services for not cleaning up dead animal. Parkside West in Irving. No current landscaping, dead trees falling over. Now a dead animal. I have complained repeatedly to deaf ears. Owner of this company will apologize and say that someone will contact me. Thats a joke. Shame on both HOA and Real Manage for not managing this neighborhood to better standards. read more
