I had seen so many places that were just gross--filthy, gutters falling down, trash in the yard. Christina at Braden Properties showed me two nice places and one that I rented in Belmont. Christina was so helpful, kind, understanding that I needed a place that will take my precious cat, Henry. She really was the best. Braden doesnot manage the property I live, but they did rent it for the owner and I am eternally grateful to Christina for helping me find a perfect new home.

I would caution landlords entrusting Mike Johnson (PMI) with your property. If you use him, you…read morewill need VERY close oversight. I regrettably used PMI to manage my home while we were away for 2 years. Our contract specified a 9% management fee. After the first few months I realized that they were actually paying themselves 10% and I had to bring this to their attention. I thought it was an honest mistake and didn't think much of it. The bookkeeping 'mistakes' continued... When a tenant moved out, and they were no longer collecting rent, they continued to pay themselves the management fee from my pocket. Again, I caught this and they corrected it. When I finally terminated my relationship with PMI they required $8G to settle their account. After checking my records this did not add up so I disputed the balance. They finally admitted that it was only $2G I owed them to settle the account. They sloppily wrote a 2 year lease with a tenant. In hindsight, this document was full of errors, some specifying a 12 month duration and some a 24 month. These errors were not discovered until the tenant left unexpectedly and we had no recourse because of the inconsistencies in the contract. The most egregious mismanagement was that despite my repeated requests, and requests from the tenant, they failed to fix the air conditioner during the summer months. The tenant was fully justified to pick up and leave, considering PMIs negligence. The air conditioner went down in March. The tenant left in July. When I entered the property myself in September the air conditioner was still inoperable and PMI was trying to re-rent the property! I terminated my relationship with them, and now they are suing me for a $2G balance on the account. I lost tens of thousands of dollars due to their mismanagement and caught ~$7G in attempted overcharges. If this is your cup of tea, by all means use Mike Johnson and PMI.

Heather Griffith was awesome with helping us buy our home long-distance! She went above and beyond what you would expect a real estate agent to do for you and we really appreciated it so much! Heather has a wealth of knowledge about the local area which I really appreciated being a new transplant to town. She gave us great advice on neighborhoods, her opinions on possibility renting our house in the future, daycares, even the best places to grab dinner!

While we have been extremely impressed with their professionalism, we just have to mention they are both really nice people. It has been a true pleasure to work with Amy and Kelly.

Buffy was TERRIFIC but she left. Cole was great but he left…read more I'm a former tenant. I tried to contact the company on a Saturday and neither email nor vm worked. VM promises you can leave a message on the general vm which of course never presented itself. Emails come back as non deliverable. This matters bc I received a letter from them requiring a response within 7 days. Charging me for painting bc I failed to fill back in the nail holes. The letter i received said there were "excessive" nail holes. Was it that there were too many?? How many is too many? Or was it that I failed to fill them in? Wouldn't they have to paint regardless of who filled them in? Fixing holes on screen porch that were there when I moved in. They charged me for "refrigerator parts". Worked just fine when I was there. The person who did the walkthrough was NOT the person who met me at the house when I looked at it initially. Certainly willing to be wrong here but chances are good that the "inspector" had no clue what kind of shape the property was in then. Stay away from these properties if you can. Too many other good property management companies in Cville.
