I trust him completely with my condo and it's a huge relief to know it's in good hands. Ron's handy-man skills have already been put to the test and have saved me money by not needing repair men to come out and fix minor issues. He also got my condo listed at 14% higher than the comps! I'm a detail-oriented person and Ron has excellent documentation of all paperwork, repairs, and invoices, all of which is accessible online through his website. If I ever have a question he's quick to answer via text or email. I highly recommend him to anyone wanting a top-notch property manager.

This is where you'll find great neighbors, awesome landscaping and build friendships for a lifetime. We have a Clubhouse that rivals many others in that it is a HUGE space with a massive media room, ample seating for events or even if you just want to kick back and enjoy some quiet time. The pool is pretty big and there's never a congested time to get there because you'll always find room in abundance. Our property manager is extremely helpful and always there in a pinch if you need help. He's available in his office or out on the grounds, just go up and say 'Hi!' If you have a dog, it's great because the property is super pet friendly and the grounds are beautiful to walk through (but don't forget to PICK UP) there's lots of doggie stations around the property. In all, the Battery is a place that once you're here, you won't want to leave...

There was never an issue with the payment process and every time I had a request, the owner far exceeded my expectations. This is an honest business that delivers; the apartment was comfortable, clean and the extra layer of comfort made it feel like home. I had a long stay, but they also offer daily rates. The set up is very simple and you can make reservations online. I 'm planning to rent from them every time I come back to Charleston. This high level of professionalism, comfort, and privacy will be very hard to match by any hotel. I've traveled nonstop with the military the last 15 years, stayed at many hotels all over the world and staying at this apartment in North Charleston was by far the nicest experience I ever had. The best part was that my family joined me and they were extremely happy at this property.

From a landlords side I have to agree with the claims that these people are unscrupulous…read more A Ravenal agent leased my meticulously furnished home to a couple that they obviously did not even do a background check for. Then gave them the keys without even meeting them in person even to check them in at the property. The irresponsible tenants decided to take all the furnishings, art and accessories and carelessly dump them into one room, damaging drywall and all items in the process. Then they rigged the satellite to get a free signal and broke the washing machine. We were in the guest house when the tenants decided to move out within the first few days because their dogs did not like my sweet golden retriever. We did not see all the damages until they were gone. The Ravenal's made the determination that THEY could go to court if charges were pressed by the tenants so fully reimbursed them for the deposit! Avoid this company at all cost.

With the time to search for apartments in Charleston nearing, I have to warn young adults and…read morestudents to stay far away from this (as previously mentioned in another review) joke of a property management company. If you are lucky enough to have a staff member pick up the phone, they are rude and are constantly blaming the issue on the person "above" them- and that person always happens to be on a business trip and is impossible to reach. I knew it was going to be a long year when I went to go pick up my street parking pass at the DMV. After getting to the DMV, I found out that the property I was in, was just outside of the street parking zone. I had confirmed with the property manager over three times that this unit had street parking- a huge factor for me. When I brought it to his attention, asking what my other options were, he responded with, "I might have said you would be able to get a parking pass, but honestly you don't have that in writing. So what can you do?" The property that I lived in, was above a family owned shop- the shop owner owned the entire building. The owner obviously cared far more about the property than Daniel Ravenel, and had fixed every problem I had before getting a response, if any, from Daniel Ravenel. Right before my lease was up, my roommates and I cleaned the place spotless. We have all lived in Charleston for 4+ years and are well aware of the move out expectations. We are also well aware of sleazy property management companies such as this one and decided to take a video moments before we left the property for the last time- documenting the condition of the entire property before leaving. We were shocked when each of us were only given a small portion of our security deposits back. After calling and e-mailing for weeks, I finally heard back from Daniel Ravenel. They charged us to repaint the entirety of the apartment. When I asked for an invoice of the painting services, I noticed they charged us for paint colors that were not even in the house. I was ensured that was a mistake and they would refund me- that's when they stopped fully responding. We were also charged an absurd cleaning fee. They argued that we left the place a wreck- claiming we left furniture that didn't belong to the property owner, left bags of trash, appliances, etc. They sent me photos old photos of the property as "proof"- they didn't think to remove the two year old time stamp from the photos. I pointed out to them that they were using old photos and I have *recent* video footage of the property right before I walked out. I then received an e-mail from Daniel Ravenel's attorney and was told I would have to go to court if I wanted to get the rest of my deposit back. I had recently taken a position outside of the state and didn't want to go through the hassle or costs, just for a few hundred dollars. Daniel Ravenel is completely aware that as young adults, we won't take it as far (or don't have the means to) as going to court over a few hundred dollars. It truly is a shame that this team takes advantage of that and is continuing to rip off and deceit its tenants. Please do your research and find another property management team! Avoid at all costs!
