Still not easy to deal with, but credit where due, they are managing the apartment better but the…read moreplace has gone a bit downhill overall with the quality of tenants they're allowing to move in. My rent went up by 20% which they probably don't have control over and the property owner is more to blame, but just as it was the case last year, they were advertising cheaper units on their website than what they offered me as an established tenant. Just as last year when I asked them why the advertised rates on the website for a clean new unit with new appliances and fresh flooring is lower than what they're offering me, they said "Oh we haven't updated the website". I think the better term is "Bait and switch". There is no excuse for not updating the website. The complex is also now using some weird variable rent table based on income but RPM doesn't disclose exactly how it works which means that if you don't want to give RPM and the ownership (who is anonymous though it's easy enough to find out if you research the corporate name) all your financial information (including all assets), you will be paying the full market rate (which is up 20% as mentioned above) as punishment and they did not budge on that price even a single penny. They claim the only way to see if you can get a discount is to follow their Hunger Games routine to prove that you're poor enough for the secret owners to take pity on you and throw you a bone. Is it a government program? According to the manager, "it's not a program! you just give us all your information and we send it to the owners and if you fall within government established poverty levels you get a discount!" "So the owner is doing it out of the goodness of their heart?" Clearly RPM is not allowed to say what's going on and after some back and forth, she was trying to make it sound like I was some sort of simpleton who didn't know anything about the Houston rental market while she who just moved to the city a few years ago knew all. I've been living here 4 years longer than she has been in the industry, but yeah, she knows more about the various neighborhoods and market values here. I stopped listening when she was comparing our 50 year old property with aluminum wiring with the 14 year luxury property across the street but here but I digress. My guess is that the ownership got some sort of government funding for their new construction projects and the stipulation is that they have to offer rental assistance in return. That's speculation on my part but it's better than the "Benevolent Real Estate Mogul" implication RPM is trying to push. I just wish RPM didn't try to insult our intelligence and was upfront about what's going on. While I was looking at other apartments, the other managers I spoke with gave me much more information about what's going on here. Again, I'm sure ownership is playing their part in this but RPM could be less condescending and disclose what's going on to the property.

Extremely Disappointing and Unfair Leasing Experience…read more I had a very frustrating experience with RPM Living and the management team at Terraces at Perkins Rowe. I signed a short three-month lease solely to accommodate my son's 2 months summer internship in Baton Rouge. From the very beginning, I clearly communicated to the leasing staff that our housing needs were temporary and that we had no intention of renewing or extending the lease. I was very clear about only staying for 2 months. Despite those conversations, I was later informed that I would be held responsible for additional rent because I allegedly failed to provide a separate 60-day written notice to vacate.   What makes this especially frustrating is that at no point during the leasing process was this requirement clearly explained. The lease itself was only three months long, and our planned departure date was openly discussed before we signed. We never expressed any intention to stay beyond the lease term, and we never received any reminder, email, or notice about needing to submit a separate 60-day notice. The first time the issue was raised was when staff called my son in July and we again confirmed that we would not be renewing.  Rather than acknowledging what appears to be a communication failure, local management refused to reconsider the matter. As a resident, it is disappointing to be penalized for a requirement that was never adequately disclosed, especially when our intentions were communicated from day one.  I expected better transparency, fairness, and customer service from a company of this size. Unfortunately, this experience has left me feeling that policies are being enforced without consideration of the specific circumstances or the information provided by residents. I would strongly encourage prospective renters to ask detailed questions about notice requirements and obtain all move-out expectations in writing before signing a lease.

When we began our search for a home, we thought we were looking for a realtor. What we found in…read moreLaura Tomaszewski was so much more. From day one, Laura took the time to truly get to know us as people. She listened carefully to what we liked and didn't like, understood our goals, and took the time to learn what was most important to us in finding the right home. She didn't just help us search for houses... she became a trusted advocate who genuinely championed our interests every step of the way. Laura went above and beyond in ways we never expected. Every property we considered was thoroughly vetted, not only for its features and condition, but also for potential issues that could affect us down the road. Whether it was physical concerns with the property, deed restrictions, HOA requirements, or anything else that might impact our future enjoyment of the home, Laura dug deep and made sure we had the information we needed to make confident decisions. What impressed us most was the level of care she brought to the process. She evaluated each home as if her own family were purchasing it. We never felt pressured. We never felt rushed. We always felt protected, informed, and supported. Buying a home can be stressful, but Laura made the experience as enjoyable and stress-free as possible. Her professionalism, attention to detail, knowledge, and genuine care for her clients set her apart. She isn't simply selling homes... she's helping people create the next chapter of their lives. We are incredibly grateful for everything Laura did for us and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. If you want someone who will truly have your best interests at heart, Laura Tomaszewski is the person you want by your side. Thank you, Laura, for helping us find not just a house, but a place we are excited to call home.

Diane Myers said she would address it in the documents, but didn't even after being provided the correct legal wording. She did not provide the documents beforehand and seemed surprised that I was reading before signing. And we needed to transfer the HOA passwords to the buyer during their closing and these were left on the front desk public area where anyone could pick them up (I had to ask them to put them behind the desk but perhaps with the buyer's closing doc might have been more secure?). And lastly, the HOA transfer required the new buyer to sign 2 copies of a state form (they only had him sign 1). Realtors should choose other Title companies instead, as this was very straight forward and wasn't correct so I can imagine what happens with a complex close.

We worked with Katy Hall over a search that stretched across two years, and what stayed consistent…read morethe entire time was how knowledgeable she is about the Austin market. She could walk into a listing and tell us within minutes whether it was priced fairly, what the comps actually supported, and what to watch out for, the kind of read you only get from someone who's genuinely on top of her market, not just going through the motions. What I appreciated most, though, is something a little harder to describe. There's an inherent tension in any buyer-agent relationship. Everyone's technically pursuing their own interest, and it's not always obvious how much weight to put on your agent's advice when the numbers are big and the decision is permanent. With Katy, that tension just wasn't there. She gave us advice like someone who actually wanted the right outcome for us, not just a closed deal, and it showed in small moments throughout the process, not just the big ones. By the time we closed, it genuinely felt like Katy had been as invested in getting it right as we were. If she's someone you get the chance to work with, consider yourself lucky, that's how we feel about it. If you want an agent whose advice you can actually lean on, she's it.
