1 Star If I could give zero stars, I would…read more FirstService Residential has been one of the most frustrating and unprofessional HOA management experiences I've ever dealt with. They began managing my building at the Buckhead Grand about 2 1/2 - 3 years after I purchased. Their late fees and demand fees are excessive, punitive, and often poorly explained, making it feel less like property management and more like a revenue‑generation operation. Billing is inconsistent and unreliable. Charges appear without clear justification, and homeowners are left to chase explanations line by line just to avoid overpaying. No one should have to audit their HOA account like a forensic accountant. Customer service is another major issue. Depending on who you speak to, you'll get different answers to the same question. Follow‑ups are slow (if they happen at all), and resolving even simple issues requires repeated calls and emails. There is no continuity, accountability, or sense of ownership. What's especially troubling is how quickly they escalate to demand letters and collections, even for small balances or disputed charges. This aggressive approach creates unnecessary stress and hostility toward homeowners--who are not tenants, but stakeholders funding the association. In short: exorbitant fees, poor communication, inconsistent service, and an overly aggressive collections mindset (send you to a third party debt collector for one late payment). I would strongly caution any HOA board considering FirstService Residential and any homeowner expecting professionalism and transparency..

Our Atlantic Station condominium HOA employed FirstService Residential from 2013 through 2024. Our…read moreproperty has around 350 units. From my recollection and perspective as a homeowner (not a board member), I thought FirstService was fine and not significantly different from other property management companies that I've had experiences with as an owner of different Midtown Atlanta condos over the last 24 years. Those other companies include Bauman & Company, Community Management Associates, Sentry Management, and Beacon Management Services. Only one of those companies stood out as exceptional to me and that was Bauman & Company. Unfortunately, they left the residential property management business long ago. The rest, FirstService included, have all been good and bad in different ways. I've come to learn that: (1) most property management companies could use a lot of improvement and (2) property managers can really vary in terms of attitude, responsiveness, and getting work done. I also recognize that being a property manager isn't easy. Some managers are better than others at addressing homeowner and community needs (e.g., maintenance items, safety concerns). In this regard, I want to give a shoutout to our former FirstService on-site property manager, Eva Woods, and maintenance engineer, Dishalon Johnson. Both Eva and "Dee" were always kind and responsive to me, and resolved all of my concerns to the best of their abilities. Thank you, Eva. You are missed. Dee still helps me out, independently, on miscellaneous home projects. He's the man.

We had an outstanding experience working with Ashton Ernst Ballard of the Justin Landis Group…read morethroughout the sale of our property. After previously having difficulty selling our home, Ashton came in with a thoughtful, organized, and well-executed plan that immediately gave us confidence. Her professionalism, market knowledge, and strategic approach made all the difference in helping us successfully navigate a very challenging market. Ashton was consistently easy to communicate with, responsive, and proactive throughout the entire process. She kept us informed every step of the way and was always available to answer questions or provide guidance when needed. Her calm, solution-oriented approach helped make what could have been a very stressful experience feel manageable and smooth. We truly appreciated Ashton's dedication, attention to detail, and expertise, and we highly recommend her and the Justin Landis Group to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Horrible Keller Williams Realtor Estrella Teilhaber of FamilyHomesGA Team and Keller Williams…read moreChattahoochee North in Georgia! Whatever you do, do NOT use Estrella Teilhaber as your buyer's agent. She does NOT look out for your best interests as a buyer, demands you put down more earnest money than you need to, doesn't even bother to ask to extend the due diligence period, and discourages the most basic of negotiations, and refuses to advocate or negotiate anything for you at all (not sure if it is laziness or just wanting to keep the sale price as high as possible to get her commission a few dollars higher). I couldn't even get her to fix all the plumbing that needed repairing as she only meekly asked the sellers to repair one leak, when there were serval plumbing issues she was supposed to get fixed while the plumber was out there, anyways. It was like she was working for the sellers more than me. At closing, she went on and on about herself and how easy it was working with the seller's agent (yeah, I guess it was, since Estrella Teilhaber did not bother really working for me -- her own client!).

He helped me a great deal with my part-time business of selling and buying homes after the real estate collapse of 2007. During that time, he was my reliable and honest real estate agent for about 15 homes.

He sold my house when I moved out of Atlanta in 2016, and he is my go-to real estate agent, with the statistics and experience to sell my rental house in Georgia.
