I would not recommend renting through Strive Realty. In my experience, the company seemed more…read morefocused on collecting rent than taking care of its tenants. Maintenance requests were repeatedly marked as "completed" online even though the issues were never actually fixed. The property had ongoing problems with rodents and other maintenance concerns, making it extremely stressful to live there. Much of the work done inside the apartment felt rushed and cheaply done. To make matters worse, getting your security deposit back can be a challenge. I felt like my concerns were ignored throughout my tenancy, and there was very little genuine care for the people living in their properties. Save yourself the time, stress, and money and look elsewhere. Unfortunately, my experience with Strive Realty was incredibly disappointing.

RentProv gave me the best rental experience I've ever had, and I've rented in many places…read more They were consistently responsive, efficient, thoughtful, and easy to work with. Whenever something came up, it was handled quickly and professionally. Early in my tenancy, I noticed mold in the refrigerator's water dispenser, and they replaced the refrigerator almost immediately. When the old stove and cooktop stopped working properly, they replaced the full range with a brand-new, very nice appliance. When the water heater broke a few months later, that was also replaced practically right away. The maintenance staff were always kind, helpful, thorough, and respectful. I never felt like I had to chase anyone down or fight to get a necessary repair completed. One of the best examples of their reliability happened during a major snowstorm. The roads were barely passable, but I woke up one morning to find that my driveway was the only one in the neighborhood that had been plowed. My neighbors were genuinely asking how RentProv had managed to get it done. I eventually purchased the house I was renting, and they continued maintaining the property and responding to issues through my final days as a tenant. They never started doing the bare minimum just because I was about to close. Shannon, in particular, was wonderful--professional, thoughtful, organized, and genuinely invested in making sure everything was handled well. I can only speak to my own experience, but mine was consistently excellent from beginning to end.

I would leave zero stars but it isn't an option. avoid at all costs…read more they don't take care of the property, everything you need done will be done late and bare minimum. the "property cleanup crew" they sent was literally an elderly man and his two adult children. they showed up in a rented box truck with one shovel. they then stole MY shovel, and the yard was not cleaned up. bricks strewn about, poison ivy, it was pathetic. I'm a combat veteran with ptsd. I have a medical marijuana card and grow my own medicine. the owner of the building I was renting was fine with it, as it was completely legal. Rent Prov called the police on us, who showed up and told them that I wasn't breaking any laws. They then tried to evict us, even though the owner told us it was okay since the police made it clear it was all on the level. I should also include some pertinents: no one else lived in the building except my mother who rented the floor below us. there are only two units. literally no one complained. also, when they couldn't get in touch with me because it was Friday night at 9pm, they began harassing my elderly mother (who again, rents a separate apartment and has nothing to do with my LEGAL medical marijuana. Lawyered up and they backed down like the unprofessional losers they are. we broke our lease early to get away from these incompetent morons. do yourself a favor, avoid at all costs. the lawyer was provided to me by a veterans organization free of charge. he looked into Brian Weinstein at rent prov and apparently he is WELL known in the legal community as a royal POS.

Five star worthy for caliber of homes and apartments from which to choose, fantastic website, and…read morethe amazing Kevin Fox. Honestly - work with him. Zero stars for the unreliable, untrustworthy, and and insensitive Jillian Siqueland. We have worked with Kevin for a few years - and have been nothing but pleased. Jillian, couldn't be more opposite if she tried. After viewing her apartment, we knew we wanted it. We filled out the appropriate background checks, and placed a security deposit. While we could not sign the lease right away, we needed to wait a few weeks for the closing of our home we just sold, we did tell her that we wanted this property. We requested that she call us as soon as another potential renter entered the equation. We continued to visit the property, on three separate occasions, took measurements, and began planning for our new home. Jillian was away at one point, and we spoke with her coworker, assuring him that we wanted this property, too. After not hearing from Jillian for 8 days, we reached back out to confirm our impending sale - and intent to sign a lease within the next couple of days. Jillian coldly let us know that the property had actually been rented to someone else. Despite our agreement to inform us that another renter was interested, instead of calling - as we agreed- Jillian just rented it! I spoke with her in person, and asked why she would go back on her word. Why my deposit meant nothing - not even the ability to have a phone call. I told her that I felt like the rug had been ripped right under us. Jillian, calmly said that this is how she conducts her business. That she had sent an email two days prior asking if we would pay $50 more a month. I told her no such email had been received, and that people who are interested in properties will always respond to their agents. I told her we were going to sign the lease if anyone else even thought about renting it. There had been no doubt in our minds. Come to find out - Jillian sent the email - to an incorrect email address. I found this out through the manager, Ed hardy, who read the email to me. In it was no mention of another renter - and the closing even said "I will call you if someone else rents!" Obviously she never intended to call, nor follow up- and as I said earlier- we didn't even get this email because the address was misspelled. She handed me back my useless deposit check. Jillian said that she was sorry - because this must be "a big pain in the ass." Yes Jillian - it is. And now, it's yours. Never, ever, ever ever work with this wretchedly cold, and useless woman.

I can't believe what a pleasure it was to work with Residential Properties -- not only did we buy…read moreour house with them 8 years ago, but we just sold it with the, too. Our realtor both times was Ellen Kasle, and she was professional, friendly, honest helpful and kind in every respect. She priced our house properly and it sold immediately, which made the entire process so incredibly easy -- we only had to have one open house and a few additional showings over the course of a single weekend, so getting back to normal life (aka not living in a staged house) was quick and easy. Being first-time buyers and sellers, I felt Ellen was always working in our best interest and made transparence a priority. She helped us prepare the house for selling, gently and honestly told us what needed doing and what not to worry about, and helped us through what was both emotional and exciting with grace and kindness. I wouldn't hesitate to work with Residential Properties of Ellen again -- they're so well-educated, very responsive and total professionals.

EXIT Premier Realty is the Dream Team of realty in Providence, RI…read more I moved to Rhode Island and didn't know 1 person in New England. I'm also a first time home buyer from the west coast. So I took the agent suggested to me by my bank. I received no return phone call for weeks & when they did, they just give me a long list of homes to comb through. I decided I needed someone new. The 2nd real estate agent they referred me to, returned my phone calls but never invited me into an office or asked me what I wanted. And again handed me a long list of homes and met me at one (late), after I had already walked it. I decided I need find someone new. I called EXIT Realty North Providence after combing local reviews to set up an appointment. They called me back later that day to confirm a time and invited me to their office. This is where I met my agent Erin L. and their broker Melissa P. Talk about a breath of fresh air. For our initial meeting they invited me to the office, asked about me, my housing needs and even brought a lender to the table to answer any questions and offer services. The initial conversation was no pressure and all about understanding what I needed. They also answered the 1 million questions I had, as a first time home buyer. Erin was awesome through the whole process. Clearly and quickly returned all my calls, emails and texts. Day, evening and weekends, she was always there to answer questions and guide me along the way. I would highly recommend her for any first time or young home buyers. Her follow up and communication was A+. I gets even better. On the night before closing, we ended up in a situation with an unwilling seller, who can hadn't started their move out process or the repairs laid out in purchase agreement. This is where the whole team at EXIT really came in handy. The Broker Melissa began guiding me through the legal process and the next morning Erin spent the entire day with me at the lawyers office and hashed out a deal that got me $10k in an escrow hold back for the repairs and the home at a steal of a price. That same day we drove back to the house and Erin waited with me out front while they moved out till 1AM and we got the keys! Even after the purchase Erin has continued to check in with me. EXIT Real Estate in North Providence listens, cares, knows how to close the deal and treats their clients with the utmost respect even after they close the deal.

We had to repeat this process a few time until we found the right one that met all of our needs. Throughout, these past few several weeks of Open Houses and late afternoon walk throughs, Paula guided me along and provided critical information that helped me make the right decision on a wonderful property.

He was actually able to negotiate way below the asking price for us. For the selling part, he was also great. Compared to many of the realtors in the Providence area, Josh takes amazing photos. We almost wanted to move back in after we saw them. He took great care to present our house in the best possible light at the proper time.

Whether buying or selling, I completely recommend Josh as you won't find a hard working or more knowledgeable realtor in Rhode Island.

Vito is selective about who occupies one of his apartments to kept all his properties quiet and enjoyable to live in for everyone that holds a lease.
