Most of the reviews for Reid Property Management are actually under "Reid Real Estate". I don't know why that is. But don't be fooled. Look up both - tenants and property owners alike will tell you to avoid this company like the PLAGUE.
Honestly? The repair men are good. And like two months ago, they got with the 21st century and began allowing online payments so you don't have to drive 40min roundtrip to drop off your payment (because if you mail it, you will almost always get a late fee). And they give you a lot of information when you first rent the place - pamphlets, a manual, the contract, etc.... and that's about all the good things I can think of to say about this company.
It's been 5 long years with them. 6 months without a washing machine - and my upstairs neighbor spent almost the same time frame without a working dryer - so we shared, while waiting forever "for the owner to decide whether to repair or replace". Same thing with my broken dishwasher.
The countertop trim was loose when I moved in, and has come loose a half dozen times since - and it just gets glued back on, but never really fixed.
My building from time to time gets this disgusting yellow water, sometimes lasting more than a day, and Reid has been notified every time and doesn't care at all, says that's city water, and that's just too bad.
The after hours emergency line? It's a cell phone that sometimes nobody takes home with them all weekend, so good luck with that. My door lock broke and I was locked out of my house on a Saturday night; got a call back 10:30am Monday.
I've had 5 different property managers - worst one first, then an interim, then an awesome one in a different office entirely who sadly was gone within 3 months, then a clueless man who also left within a few months, and then a long-timer who supposedly was the best of the best, because this property needed real service after so much turnover.... and between her and her assistant, I still have to play email tag to communicate with them. They're better than the first, but there is something about the culture of this company that has made it impossible to get timely service, reliable communication, or honest interactions. There's no procedure to document anything between them and the tenant so everytime you call, no one knows what you're talking about or what the status of your situation is; or perhaps the procedure is to document nothing to delay costing the owners money on repairs. But if I were an owner, I'd rather my property be actually MANAGED and maintained.
They literally robbed my neighbor of her deposit despite her doing everything on the move-out cleaning checklist when she moved out, and she was too tired of dealing with them to fight it. Needless to say I'm very wary how my termination will go. But I'm done with this company, and am moving out, and I genuinely plead with anyone looking at a REID rental property to LOOK ELSEWHERE. Learn from my mistake, and save yourself the stress. Truly. read more
