The absolute worst property management service in the entire Wiregrass area! If I could take away more stars, this place would be as negative as mathematically possible. Let me begin....
I started renting a townhome through Wiregrass Realty back in March 2016, and I loved it! My grass was cut for me, we received pest control, and the property was well maintained. Any issue we had inside the house, the work orders were processed in a quick and painless manner. There are 5 town homes on this property, and all of them were maintained beautifully.
Sadly, Mr. Andress passed away last year, and Wiregrass Realty shut it's doors. Our lease was given to Regency Management and from there it has been utter hell! We lost all of our property beautification services and stopped being sprayed for pests. Mind you we NEVER, EVER signed a lease agreement with Regency. We received a letter in the mail from MRS. Andress who said our leases were being transferred to Regency. This is where the fun begins...
The Electricity in my home was dangerous and shoddy at best. Two 55 inch TV screens were blown out from the outlet. Electric sparks would arc from the outlet in the kitchen any time you needed to use it, i.e. the microwave, toaster, mixer...etc. We called and had the kitchen outlet replaced, and the electrician said the whole kitchen is running off of one circuit. Only about half of the outlets in the home work, and as i stated earlier the ones that do in fact work are dangerous.
Our water main burst twice within 4 months of each other and had to request it to be fixed both times. I understand it happening once, as things get older, they break. I was unhappy that I was left with a 100 dollar water bill, when about 60% of it should have fallen on Regency. The second line break was purely the fault of Goolsby, who had come out to fix it the first time. Again we were left with a bill well over 90 dollars. Unacceptable from a "prestigious" Property Management company.
For Almost 10 months 3 out of the 5 homes were vacant, and had for sale signs in front. Needless to say Regency could not flip these homes, so what did they do? They lowered their standards and allowed the apartments to be filled with absolute trash! The children next door are severely neglected and are living in filth. My wife and I visibly observed the adult female who lives next door smoking meth on her back porch, which is also my back porch, only separated by a short, broken wooden fence. She has 4 children upstairs sleeping, and I have a 9 year old who was sleeping upstairs. This deeply concerned me and we let our property manager (Mrs. Gilley) know about it. She told us she would have something done about it. Our neighbor has piles, among piles, and bags upon bags of trash sitting outside her back door, which causes roaches and flies to take up residence near and in my home. The smell of their drugs, and filth permeate through my home, and Regency never did a single thing to help us. We asked for help in finding a new apartment for weeks, and all Mrs. Gilley did was leave us a half assed message about 2 properties that never came to fruition. By the way we returned her call from the one message she left, and she again never returned our call. We have asked Mrs. Gilley to get in touch with the owner so that we may put in a fence, to further keep the trash they had let in next door out, and guess what.... not a phone call back.
For the sake of my family, I packed up and got the hell out of there. I was gone in 3 weeks. Now I am being hassled about a 30 day notice and breech of contract. First off, I never signed a contract with you Mrs. Gilley, mine still stands with Wiregrass that you were supposed to honor. You and your company are worthless! I have had a perfect renters history, never missing a payment and never even a day late. Get your head out of your 4 point of contact, and do your job! You lost a good tenant. Now Beacon Ridge has my business, and I will take every opportunity to tell everyone I encounter about how awful you are and your company is. Like you told me on the phone, I am gonna do what I gotta do.... read more
