It is a breeze working with her because of her acumen in property related experience and it is undeniable the best I have seen in Austin, TX. She really has advised me to make a very good & wise decision for our purchase in this hot property market. She even goes for extra miles to make sure all the details are being taken care of which most property agents would not be able to deliver. Thank you Sue!!

Of my very high security deposit ($3600), $3215 was returned by Elim realty. Some of the items Sue…read moreTeng said cost money for her to fix, seemed legitimate. Some did not. For example, she has photos of stains on the carpet - we have photos of the carpet looking fantastic. (from before her photos were supposedly taken) However, I honesty expected her to keep more of my money based on my previous experiences with her. I consider this a win. I am just happy to be done with this property. My opinion of Sue Teng's professionalism and her expectations have not changed. If you are looking to be a tenant at a property that Sue Teng manages, I would reconsider. I raised my rating from 1 star to 2, because she returned more of our deposit than expected. that is the only reason.

Capvest Realty does not work with their renters. Rich is a bully who uses intimidation to get his…read morerenters to be compliant. Jennifer is rude and criticized my realtor to me. They do not answer the phone so they can have everything in writing. They take FOREVER to respond to emails, and when you send gentle nudges for a response they go off and belittle you for no reason (and fail to answer the question). They do not have an office in Austin so you cannot go directly there to communicate with them. Everything is on their time. Rich threatened to have my two well behaved dogs removed unless we let him enter our home with a 2 hour notice. I took off work (on my second week at a new job and my husbands first day) to accommodate him since it is in our lease. He brought a photographer and his OWN dog to perform a "dog test" on my dogs. He PURPOSEFULLY waited until we were both out of the home to do this. If I hadn't been able to get home, he would have removed my dogs from their crates to do so. Where did it say in our contract that my dogs need to be dog-friendly? Thankfully they are well trained and wonderful with everyone. During this visit he repeatedly informed me that someone could enter my home with Capvest's permission, not inform me of their presence, go into the room my dogs were kept in, remove them from their crates, antagonize them, and if they bit the person or defended themselves, it would be my fault and my dogs would be put down. I don't know why he felt the need to say this MULTIPLE TIMES to my face, but he did with a slew of other underhanded threats. He also let me know multiple times that he donates a lot to animal shelters. I am sure you do bub. I asked him how I could improve our tenant-landlord relationship cause something felt off. He walked around the issue saying we did something wrong but would not clarify. He was constantly bothering us. We had 3 inspections within two months of living there for no real reason. At one point he insinuated that we must do weed or make meth since we didn't like all the inspections. Apparently wanting peace and privacy are unreasonable requests for our landlord. We were perfect tenants, have amazing credit, have a perfect renting history, paid our rent on time, were friendly with our neighbors, kept our home tidy, etc. There was zero reason to be hostile with us. Rich constantly bad-mouthed the owner too. He would say that the guy was "unreasonable" and "mean". "You don't want to deal with that guy, you need to go through me". Our relationship with Rich was so tense that we offered to move out so we could peacefully part ways since it was very clear they did not want us there. He responded with more threats. It got so bad that we ended up contacting the owner of the home directly so we could bypass Rich. After meeting with the owner everything stopped and Rich left us alone. The owners were wonderful, the opposite of how Rich described them. I can only imagine what he told them about us. I believe we suffered because Capvest messed up and allowed us to rent the home without the Homeowners approval. They did not want people with dogs in the home and Capvest let us move in with a Dog Addendum. It felt like Capvest was trying to push us out so they could fix their mistake. We ended up buying a home before our lease was up. We went directly to the homeowner and worked out a deal so that we could move out early and allow them to start anew lease with a new tenant in a better time of the year for them. Because we spoke to the homeowner first, Rich suddenly became a lot more accommodating and parted on better terms. We did get our full deposit back. ---------------------- In response to Rich's comment- I have not lied or misrepresented what happened in any way. Multiple times in a conversation you told me someone could "come into my home unannounced, go into the room where my dogs were crated, remove them from the crate, antagonize them until they bit the person, then have the dogs removed for being aggressive." I perceived this as a threat cause why in any world would a sane person bring this up in conversation when I did not ask. I asked you if I could speak directly to the homeowner so I could resolve whatever we did to make them weary of us and you said "I am your best friend, you don't want to talk to him" and insisted that the homeowner was a "weird dude". You told me that you will "do right by me, but as I can see the landlord is not a good guy to deal with." We had to go around you, who is supposed to be there to help us, so we could make everything right. You INTENTIONALLY waited til Thomas's first day of work so you could bring Ginger, your dog, into my home without my prior knowledge or consent to perform a "Dog Test". You would have had to remove them from their secure locations to do this. What even is a dog test? Rich brings up legal repercussions to legally threaten/intimidate. Below is an excellent example.

Don't expect much of your deposit back unless you are OCD. Don't expect any flexibility, you are merely a source of income, not a human. Incredibly energy inefficient, and everything seems done-up as cheaply as possible. Remarkably cold and inhuman communication.

We ran into lots of issues with the builder during the process and she always handled each situation with me in mind. Honestly is a big thing with me and she kept me informed about every change or milestone we passed in real time. I never thought I would be a homeowner so this was a huge process for me and Kerrie was with me each step. In hindsight she took a lot of crap for me because I was very impatient and anxious about the whole process she is extremely professional and if I ever bought a home I would definitely use her again in fact I recommended her to two of my friends. also I do not know what the other review about floors...... I think that lady who left the review about the floors is tripping you guys remember there is always two sides to the story. And that's not even real estate related.

She said she didn't know what happened to it and was walking around everywhere talking and looking for it. She told the workers to leave because she had a play to go to. They left with no money and no paperwork. Because they trusted her that she would pay, the did the work first. At the end she did not pay and told them to leave. Now the workers are paying the $3,200.00 out of their pay check! Ms. Collier told the company she was going to pay. She said she was waiting on a sale of a home to pay. She didn't pay. She then said she was would come in and pay and she didn't. She stopped answering her phone. The account is going to collections, but I doubt she will pay. The workers cannot sue her or do anything because they have a contract with the company that the company can only go after her for the debt. I WOULD NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH KERRIE!

From the beginning, they have shown an unwillingness to work with homeowners in good faith. I was cited with multiple "unsightly" violations simply for using a dumpster and trailer during business hours for property improvements. They routinely keep multiple violations open, which allows them to increase fines over time. These funds appear to be directed toward questionable expenses such as a $100,000 pool replaster -- nearly four times what it would cost to build a new pool entirely. Even after being told my account was on "hold," I continued receiving fines for things as minor as leaving my trash can out one day after pickup (or even the day before). This practice feels punitive and exploitative. In my opinion, Goodwin & Co operates with little regard for fairness or transparency, and their actions create unnecessary hostility with homeowners. I am actively exploring legal avenues to hold them accountable.
