Relocating from the East Coast to Texas with a family is not simple, and Julie made the whole…read moreprocess feel manageable. We came in not knowing the areas, the differences between neighborhoods, or even what type of home made the most sense for us long term. Julie helped us break it all down in a way that was easy to understand. She was very knowledgeable about different neighborhoods, school districts, and what each area actually offers. That helped us narrow things down quickly without feeling like we were guessing. One of the biggest things she helped us with was understanding the pros and cons of new construction versus existing homes. She walked us through taxes, long term costs, and what to expect in each scenario, which gave us a lot more confidence in our decisions. She also did a great job balancing both my preferences and my wife's. That's not easy, but she stayed patient and helped us find common ground without ever pushing us. We also spent part of the process renting, and she supported us through that phase too, which we really appreciated. Overall, she's thoughtful, informed, and genuinely cares about helping you find the right fit. Highly recommend.

I called them inquiring about rentals (the number on the website directed me to them) and the woman…read moreon the phone was incredibly rude. I assumed the number that was on the actual website was for this particular rental complex but apparently, it's for the entire property management that's not even located in TN. They own a bunch of properties all over the US! I kindly had to remind her that this was the number I found on the website TWICE because she was copping an attitude when I kept referring to "The Retreat at Finch Branch." She spoke over me and told me to stop where I was at because she had no idea what I was talking about. Then she complained that the way I started the phone conversation (which I literally said "hi, I'm inquiring about rentals at The Retreat at Finch Branch and wanted to ask a few questions since I don't see any pricing listed on the website") was confusing and made it sound like I was calling the wrong number. I have zero back bone and am very kind on the phone so this made me take a step back and think whether or not I should go with this company for renting. She was so nasty towards me that I almost hung up on her but again, zero back bone. She again, started berating me about how I keep saying "the retreat, the retreat" and went off on me for a good minute, ending it with "well now we figured it out." She harshly told me that there's no availability and I asked her if there would be any rentals opening up in the next few months and she told me to go to Evergreen Live and look because there's rentals popping up every day and sarcastically ended the call "good luck with your rental search" and hung up. If this is who is advertising your properties, I really don't want to know who is working on the premises. Anyways, I did look on their website and they had one property listed for this particular area that I was originally inquiring about. Not only was this woman insanely rude, she also lied about the rental not being available. Again, I'm extremely kind when I speak on the phone and have never ever given anyone attitude (including health insurance issues, we all know how that can be). I was shocked by her treatment towards me. Because of how I was spoken to on the phone, I have zero desire to give this company any money.

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.

I am writing another review on the company's actual review page because it seems that when I posted…read morea review on the Google page for 10X Iona Lakes in Fort Myers, Florida, it was filtered out. This was my first experience living in an apartment, and it has been overwhelming and disappointing. I've tried multiple times to be patient and understanding with the office staff because I know work can be stressful. However, it often feels like nothing gets done unless you constantly push for answers. At 10X Iona Lakes, my neighbors and I have experienced rats in our apartments. We have reported this issue to the office multiple times, but it has not been taken seriously, or at least it doesn't seem that way based on the lack of action. It feels like residents are expected to handle the roaches and other pests themselves because the infestations continue. The rent does not match what you would expect from a "luxury" apartment community. Things in the apartment are constantly breaking, and communication is extremely poor. The office rarely follows up unless you repeatedly contact them. They often don't answer the phone unless you call multiple times, and emailing is almost pointless. They send plenty of promotional emails, but when you email them with concerns, you rarely receive a response. The office staff changes so frequently that it's difficult to know who to contact. Maintenance has also been very disappointing. As I'm writing this review, I still have a maintenance request that was submitted around June 28, and it has yet to be completed, even though the repair is simple. Overall, my experience at 10X Iona Lakes has been frustrating. I expected a safe, well-maintained community with responsive management, but unfortunately, that has not been my experience.

Managing our investment property in Austin after moving to the North East was quite challenging for us, and Gary made this incredibly easy and stress free. He was always prompt, and transparent in his communications, which seems to be a rare trait to find these days. Eventually, when we decided to sell the property, we entrusted Gary to not only get a good offer for the house, but to also take care of the various maintenance issues prior to listing. Gary exceeded our expectations on every metric! We were able to go through the whole process remotely, and Gary made sure everything was as smooth as possible for us. We are very grateful that we were able to connect with such a wonderful person. It goes without saying that we would highly recommend Gary to anyone looking for a real estate agent!

I have never in my 20+ years of renting come across such bad business practices…read more I reached out to Mission South via an online listing from Zillow. The returning contact was Vito Raymond with Metro 512 Realty a.k.a. 512Living a.k.a. The 512 Group. Vito met me onsite at Mission South to show me apartment 112. When I arrived he said that unit had been leased but he could show me 109. Unit 109 left much to be desired. You could tell they were working on it, but you could also see the unit suffered years of maintenance neglect. Still sensing my hesitation, Vito called me back to come look at a finished unit at Mission South the next morning. This unit looked good, but sadly it was on the second floor. Due to a current disability, I need to be in a first floor unit or have access to an elevator for upper floor unit occupation. I asked Vito if some basic updates could be made to the 109 unit before I applied & he said that my list items were already on their list to take care of. I informed him that I was not available for any move-in until at least March 13, due to my being out of the country. I don't think that message hit home with anyone, because as I was out of town, the pressuring messages started flooding in. Multiple texts from Vito to which I replied that I was still abroad. I asked if I could see the unit before signing the lease & if it didn't work, for whatever reason, if I could get my security deposit back. His reply was "Yes that can happen as long as you don't sign the lease first. So pay the deposit and tell Loren our property manager that you want to see the apartment before signing the lease". The very next day I got an email from 512Living - Mission South's assistant manager Marisa Garcia. "The security deposit and admin fee payments are missing in order to hold the unit & send the lease.", she explained. In fear of not having a place to live when I got back to Austin, I reluctantly paid the admin fee & the security deposit via an online portal on March 8th. my mistake was assuming Vito had spoken to them about my being abroad & about my request for the deposit refund. Friday 3/15/24, I texted Vito that the unit wasn't right for me and that I wasn't going to make our meeting or sign the 12 month lease with Mission South. He wished me luck & asked me to reach out to Loren, the manager for Mission South & employee of 512Living to get my security deposit refund. I called & left a message with the admin on shift. Later that day I got an email from Loren reading ..... "Mary- I've attached a copy of the application for your records. Your application was received on 02/26 & approved on 02/28 when your guarantors application was submitted. The deposit was paid on the 8th, & the lease was sent the same day- the unit had been held since the 8th. On page 6 of the application, it states in paragraph 3 & 6 that we may keep the application deposit as liquidated damages if you don't sign the lease or withdraw your application. I know Vito mentioned you weren't ready to commit to a long term lease. I can ask the owner if they would consider a shorter term lease if you would like; let me know and I can reach out to the owner. If you have any questions in regards to this, please let me know. -Loren" Notice that in the email above Loren improperly refers to my security deposit as an application deposit. I paid a security deposit, as referred to in the application. I did not ask for a 6 month lease that she attempted to have prepared for me. I explained to her that Vito mentioned that the security deposit was refundable if I didn't sign the lease & asked her to have the owner call me. After two days of no reply I followed up with an email explaining that I am not interested in signing a lease & that I do not feel comfortable doing business with a company that allows misrepresentation of terms from an agent regarding the refund-ability of security deposits. I also asked them to send an itemized & dated list of any liquidated damages suspected to be associated with this transaction. I still have not received this. Loren replied "although the application specifies that we can retain the application deposit as liquidated damages in case of withdrawal or failure to sign the lease, the owner has agreed to refund half of your application deposit, totaling $537.50." Again incorrectly referring to the security deposit as an application deposit. There are no defined terms for clear understanding. They change the deposit term to suit their needs. This is absolutely poor real estate practices & every realtor I have spoken to says they are operating incorrectly by Texas law. Even Vito texted confirmation that he "did say the security deposit was refundable and that has always been their policy". I took the partial refund, but I am still waiting on the receipt for damages. They are now past 30 days as required by law in the state of Texas to produce this. I am still working to get the rest of my money. BUYER BEWARE!

She was not only professional and knowledgeable, but also thoughtful, forthright, and always respectful of my time (which was very limited) and my budget...also very limited. What really set Teresa apart was her sharp eye and honesty. She likely saved me from a serious financial loss (and potential health problems) by identifying a critical issue in a home I was ready to make an offer on. That alone showed how much she truly had my best interests at heart and not just to make a sale. Beyond that, Teresa was responsive, attentive, and a lot of fun to work with. Thanks to her, I was able to make one of the biggest decisions for me and my family with confidence and peace of mind. I highly recommend having Teresa on your team--whether you're buying, selling, renting, or even building a home.

It's unfortunate with all the good reviews for this place, we did not receive that same service…read more However, this is specifically about Michael Said who represents himself as part of this business. We were waiting on a house to move into and needed a temporary place to stay. Initially we felt fortunate to find this place as it was reasonably priced and we could rent it for six months. It was freshly painted but infested with cock roaches. Each time we notified Mr. Said, he did ultimately arrange for pest control. There were light switches that did not work, a closet door that would come off it's rails, missing drawer handles and we would find mice/rat feces in some cupboards in the kitchen. Mr. Said would have a maintenance person come out and fix things but typically not without multiple requests. But, we were only going to be there for a few months and we figured we would just tough it out. We barely unpacked since we were going to move again in a few short months. More than 30 days prior to our lease ending, we did notify Mr. Said that we would be leaving and not extend the lease. We also requested a "walk through" with Mr. Said. While he acknowledged the 30 day notice, he never responded to the walk through. On December 19th, more than ten days before the lease would end, we vacated the property but Mr. Said would not agree to meet. Ultimately, we left the keys under the door mat on December 21 as per Mr. Said's request. This was a full days before the lease was to expire and more than enough time for Mr. Said to walk through himself or with me to identify anything he felt should be addressed before the leased ended on December 31. But Mr. Said did not do this. On January 28, 2023 we received our refund and it was minus: - $150 for cleaning - $300 for "touch up paint" - $300 "yard cleaning & dead landscaping replacement" Given the constant cock roaches and rodent feces, I find the $150 cleaning to be excessive but we are not asking for that back. However, the place was newly painted and we never hung anything on the walls. There was absolutely not damage done to any walls that would necessitate any "touch up painting". The $300 is absurd and the lease specifically states "normal wear and tear expected". But there were no areas that needed touch up paint. It was winter when we moved out; Austin had just experienced several days of temperatures in the teens. You cannot possibly ascertain between landscaping that was dead versus dormant. However, there is no landscaping so I'm not even sure what they are claiming. There are two trees in the front and a big tree in the back. There are no shrubs, flowers or what they call "landscaping". While there might have been leaves on the ground, that's unavoidable at that time of year and no matter how often we could have cleaned up leaves from the trees, there would always be leaves. But there was no landscaping that arises to the $300 deduction Mr. Said took. I am a disabled Veteran who served 30 years for this country and it's appalling when people like Mr. Said take advantage of people. Again, I am posting this as Mr. Said represents himself as Realty Austin and for anyone who might do business with them, just to be aware of the practices of some of their people, specifically Mr. Said.
