After reading the reviews, I noticed most of the high ratings come from owners. That might explain…read morethe difference in experience, because as a tenant this company was difficult to deal with. Email communication often felt passive aggressive and any time I asked a simple question, I got long policy explanations instead of a real answer. I had to follow up several times just to try to renew my lease and kept getting the runaround. I eventually moved because paying rent on time should not come with that much hassle or uncertainty. I rarely needed maintenance since I handled most things myself. Getting my security deposit back took far too long and every time I asked about it, I got more excuses. They charged a 250 application fee, a 25 per person monthly service fee on top of rent, and even offered a 95 option to fast track the return of my own security deposit. On top of that, they offered to charge 495 for move out cleaning. No thanks I can do that myself. I've never ever not gotten back a security deposit. I'm not that person. Everything felt transactional and unnecessary, which honestly pushed me toward leaving. Right before my lease ended, I sent notice that I was moving. Even then, I got what felt like an automated message telling me my renters insurance needed to be confirmed for the next year. I replied saying I was moving out in a few days and still had insurance, and the response I got back basically told me to send proof or be charged 10 dollars. I am not letting anyone nickel and dime me over things like that. 10 dollars. Please quit the shit. Owners may have a smoother experience, but tenants deal with a very different side of things. Best of luck if you decide to rent from them. I will not be using them again. As a property owner and a renter, this definitely isn't the way people should be treated ever. I only have 2 stars because after 30 plus days I got my deposit back. Minus a f*+^€n 5.00 e-check fee. Yall needed that I guess.

Darrell Anderson of Nino Properties schedule an open house for Sunday August 13, 2017, from 2-4…read more on all the following sites Har.com Zillow , and realitor.com. I didn't it advertise on Nino Properties. I made sure everything was in order before I left my home since I didn't get from church until 1:15 . While coming from church I didn't see any advertising for my open house. When I pull in my drive way , came in and waited until 2:00 , I text Darrell and found out that he had cancel the open house without letting me know or better yet making an revision of the cancellation on the media web sites. A few minutes after the open house was schedule some peoples came to see the house from the ad on Har.com, Since I was home they ask if they could see my home. It was embarrass that Darrell Anderson was so unprofessional . The potentials buyers frown at Nino Properties behavior. One of the families whom came out had left message for Darrell Anderson, and Darrell Anderson return their call while they were in my home, and they informed him that I the home owner will give them a tour. They could tell why I was upset and embarrass by Darrell Anderson. I inform the potentials buyers that Nino Properties doesn't do open houses well, it is clearly this was the case since Darrell Anderson didn't think of no one but himself, spending Sunday afternoon with his family and left me to do my own open house. These peoples are lazy they don't put in the preparation, or time in selling a home in this competitive market. I wouldn't never recommend them to anyone. The owner didn't turn in my resume to THE CEO OF Motiva, as this is one of the reason why I sign with her. Gloria Nino exact words it's not what you know it's who you know. She got attitude with me because she first assigned Monica Singular on my contract whom had just got certified in December. She couldn't even fill out the contract, Gloria assisted her to do that, so she could get paid, when inexperience issues starting showing up in Monica skills sets, Gloria thought I was suppose to tolerate her inexperience . Gloria sent me a text to informed me she was adding Darrell Anderson name on my yard sign, however the original contract has Monica Singular on it, which looks like something not right. I contacted the Texas Real Estate Commission and found out the broker for Nino Properties is Frank Monacelli whom is Gloria husband. He's the broker, but she sign the contract, her name is not listed with the Texas Real Estate Commission as the broker. I have not heard not one word from Gloria, she's just trying to ride the contract out and hope someone else do some real work. This has been an bad experience for me, and I wouldn't never recommend them, she will fool you. She never did provide me with her report reference the homes she sold last year, she had Monica Singular to tell the Marketing team is working on it.

We rented through this property management company for five years, and during that time they raised…read moreour rent by roughly $100-$200 every single year. As a realtor, I repeatedly questioned the increases because the property simply wasn't worth what they were asking. Eventually, the gap between the rent and the actual market value became too large, so we moved out. Then came the move-out charges. They attempted to bill us for items that were clearly the landlord's responsibility, which felt less like property management and more like a scavenger hunt for extra fees. The best part? It turns out we were right. After we left, the property sat on the market for nearly a year. The rent had to be reduced over and over until it was close to the rate we originally leased it for. That's a long and expensive vacancy to prove a point. If you're a property owner, I'd think twice before taking pricing advice from a company that would rather let a property sit empty for months than admit they overpriced it. If you're a tenant, be prepared for annual rent hikes and a move-out process that may leave you defending charges that shouldn't have been yours in the first place.

He even asked an old client about his experience at a property I was considering. Kevin called every property I was interested to get information before I toured them with him about rent and square footage on their units in my price range. He took notes on all the properties he called and gave them to me so I would not feel overwhelmed with details. This allowed me to fully concentrate on what I thought about each property in order to decide if it was a right fit for me. You will be so glad you got Kevin's help!!!

ULR seems to come highly praised however my personal experience has been quite annoying. I asked an…read moreagent over two years ago to help me look for an apartment within a specific price range. Once I no longer needed his service (I found my own place), he continued to spam my E-mail account with invitations to rental/homebuying events to promote his business. I had to ask him a few times with a call to the office to request this to stop. It started with LinkedIn, and then through other similar social media mediums, then E-mail. Finally the office took care of it and I had to take the extra step to block him. Then, two years later, another agent who connected with me through LinkedIn as well began to do the same practice. In no way did I ever ask to opt-in to any of these invitations. That means I'm on another distribution list that I never agreed to. She is sending Evites--without any opt-out buttons. I had to contact ULR again, and another agent profusely apologized to me. I'm not into this spamming marketing practice because quite honestly, it cheapens a business and creates a desperate image. Do some of these agents like getting cold calls from random numbers themselves and pressured into something they don't need? I don't think any of us do! So it would imply that with common sense, you shouldn't do what you don't enjoy yourself, to people who aren't clearly requesting your service. The agent who helped me get myself removed from a distribution list (again) says that she doesn't practice those methods herself and aren't exemplary of ULR as a whole, but no one seems to be encouraging or reminding other agents to stop the SPAM method. I never experience this when I contact an agent through HAR. Bottom line: I get it, it works once on a blue moon, but if you're about branding yourself as a high quality agent, this spam stuff is not a lot of people's cup of tea. Try this instead, reach out to a potential client directly and ask if they're currently interested in renting/buying or would like to remain in touch in the future if neither are currently an option. Don't force me into your impersonal mass distribution list against my will. Here's the Federal Trade Commmissin FAQ on SPAM stating you must include information on how to opt-out of receiving future E-mail and honor opt-out requests immediately: https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/blogs/business-blog/2015/08/candid-answers-can-spam-questions

If you like someone who will work every angle to your benefit, Sally might be a good fit for you!…read more Not only did I use Sally when I moved from Utah to Texas 4.5 years ago. I used her again to sell my current home and buy the next one. So this review is X3 the value IMO! Look, I don't know why Sally said yes to us this 2nd time around because the first time we used her probably gave her some gray hairs. When we first moved to TX, my financing was delayed and we were about to lose the contract while I was in the middle of Albuquerque moving my family. Sally stepped up her game and kept the house under contract while we waited for the financing to finalize. She even got us into the house as renters in the meantime so we weren't homeless. This was an extremely difficult challenge for us and Sally really came through even though it was no where near easy. Now my 2nd experience came to a close just a few weeks ago. The buyers of my home got cold feet and pretty much backed out on the day of closing. As you could imagine, we were packed up and ready to close on our new home. Devastated, we contemplated not moving at all because of hardship this was placing on our family. Sally and her Broker Courtney jumped right it, rolled their sleeves up and got into the mud with the buyers and their agent. In the end, we closed 2 days late, but they got they deal to go through! I cannot tell you how many late night emails she answered for me, how many times we discussed strategy and how many times she came through on so many points of what we needed in our contract to buy and sell our home. Would I use her again? Absolutely. Would I recommend her to anyone? Based on her saving my bacon twice, YES!

Goldnest property management is the absolute best. This is not a small property management group…read morewith a couple employees and a few properties. They are a large organization with a beautiful office in Dallas, fully staffed 24/7 with service professionals that handle every aspect of property management. These guys have tons of properties and they have years and years of experience. They have seen it all and they are more than prepared to handle it all. As a real estate investor living in California with an Air BnB in the DFW area, I am completely hands off. I think of property management in two different categories. 1) Managing the online presence, the rentals and keeping vacancies to a minimum and 2) Managing the house itself. When it comes to the management of the house, I feel like they are taking care of the house as if it were their own. Every aspect of home care is covered from the landscaping to the pool to the appliances and every working piece and part inside the house. All repairs and maintenance is handled by professionals who specialize in the trade and handled immediately. And the house is beyond clean at all times. They also have some cool technology that allows them to monitor the home while not interfering with the privacy of the guests, so the risk of something inappropriate, or worse happening is taken out of the equation. As an investment, under the care of Goldnest, the home gets better all the time and the value of the home continues to grow. As for the rest, and the rest is a lot... Goldnest is extremely impressive. They handle the pictures, the write ups and marketing that goes on all the sites. Goldnest has access to all the sites that matter and they have a young fresh vibe in the way they write up your home and present it on each site. From the minute the guest comes in contact with your home, they are entertained and engaged. Maybe this is why in the "slow season" the house seems to be continuously rented. I don't know how they do it, but they keep vacancies to an absolute minimum. Last, these guys are great at the "Tech". part They have an "owners portal" that makes it so easy as an owner. You can see a calendar of all the rentals and you can see the daily rates for each day. They use a dynamic pricing system that maximizes profits. They have a finance page that breaks down every expense and everything is very transparent. You see what's coming in, all the expenses and have a clear understanding of exactly what you are going to make every month. There are also year to date totals and lots of data and analytics so you can analyze your home's performance in any number of ways. These guys are smart. Very smart. I will say that when I started doing this, I tried to save money by going with a smaller management team. That was a huge mistake. What I was saving in management fees I was more than losing in so many other ways. I now spend a little more to have professional property in Goldnest, and as a result, I am making WAY more than I ever have and more than I even thought was possible. And my home is being maintained to a standard that is higher than I would have if I were living in it. If you are looking for a professional organization that is going to take great care of your home and make you lots of money, your search is over. Goldnest is simply the best.
