So I lived in two different properties managed by westen investments for a year and a half in 2017…read morewhile I finished my bachelors at wiu. I cannot recommend them enough, maintenance work was always done promptly & done well. One of the houses I lived in was built over 50 years ago, so yeah shit breaks, but the maintenance guys are righteous dudes. Rent never went up, every staff member I met with was nothing but helpful & friendly in every regard. They were even able to pair me up with another reliable roommate to lower my costs. My $300 deposit was given back to me at $167, they tell you right up front that carpet cleaning will cost $100. So that's great as well. There were never any "surprise inspections", hidden costs, or fees. Everything was clear & they kept their word on everything. If macomb wasn't macomb, I would be extremely loyal to westen & choose no one else. A couple things I will mention, at one of the properties I lived at, the fence around my patio was torn down & heavy & loud ground construction was done, so my lovely field of grass in my backyard turned into a field of thick mud that was kinda lame, but hey renovations are a good thing right. & they tour where ever you are living at to other prospective tenants while you are still living there, so you may have (with 24 hour notice) tours of people walking through your house almost year round every other week. It happened to me, & besides them telling me I can't sit on the roof of my house, that was the worst part of westen. Besides that they take incredible care of their tenants & will work with you very hard to be flexible with things & give you a fair bit of options (move in dates) (Move out dates), I had 2 felony cannabis charges & still was able to get a 6 month lease, & treated with respect. & when I needed stay a few extra days before moving out, I was charged a pro rated $30 a day. & at the end I got a same day & excellent rental referral. So there ya go :)

There was a shooting so if you want to pay almost $1000 for a building that was shot up and they never got security they promised this is the perfect place for you. Instead of fixing any of the actual problems in the building, they just added a workout area. Working the trash that's already broken half the time.. they've not fixed the guest Wi-Fi in a month so the printer or TV don't work. Young America is the devil, and I regret signing with them and now regret going to ISU every day because of them making my college experience miserable. Honestly, if you can't find anywhere else, but young America, I would recommend just considering going to a different college. This experience has been so miserable. Sure that people who work there are nice, but they can't break any of the stupid rules. You also don't wanna live in the 701 building because they have a homeless problem.

Good company. I have been with sami for 2 and half years. I have lived at vernon stables twice…read moreand once at heartland village. My experience has been positive mostly. Sami would always come out to help me within a week or two when i put in a request. Once my Heat went out in the freezing cold this winter and i called the emergency line. That day a maintenance guy came out from a hour away to give me a few heaters until they could get a replacement. Also the manager i think his name was mark was very friendly. I actually signed a lease with another apartment at Vernon Stables but wanted to move to different location there. He was very understanding and although the staff said they cant do that, he was more than willing to change my location before movein. If you need something done and the staff dont help, try talking to the manager it sometimes helps.

Our search started in October 2024. However, we didn't find OUR house until August 2026. So let's…read morego to the beginning. I research everything. So obviously, I read reviews on different agents. I'd come across more than a handful of realtors with very high reviews, but wanted the best God had for us. So we prayed and asked God to lead us to the right agent. Long story short, I called a female agent about a house and left a message. By the next day we still hadn't heard from her. She called and texted back over the weekend but for some reason we kept missing each other. So I contacted another realtor who also had very high reviews who was selling a different house to ask about another house. At this time, we still had plans to go with the female realtor. However, Scott (the 2nd agent/realtor) contacted us right away. I was up-front with him and told him that we were looking at another agent waiting for her call. Scott kindly said that there was no need for that and he can help us...lol. Now, let me just stop and say that Scott did NOT poach from another agent. The other agent hadn't yet spoken to us. With that being said, I believe it was God answering our prayers. We agreed to keep Scott as our agent because of his high reviews. However, I personally believe it was more to it. Feel free to think of it like this, God chose our realtor for us. With that being said, this market was and is "stupidly other worldly". We barely saw nor liked most of the houses on the market. We started out almost $180k lower in the beginning. We were just starting out not really understanding the market. Scott, was never pushy. He gave us the space to figure it out. There was a lull period until April 2025. We went up almost $100k from where we first began. We put an offer on a house. Again, Scott gave his gentle input but let us figure it out. The seller went with another offer. I'm personally happy they did. The market was horrible at that time and I agreed to buying out of desperation. Our desire was to buy in North Peoria or Dunlap. Unfortunately, the houses in those area's are ridiculously priced. Let's move up to 2026. We increased to $180k above our original amount. We finally saw a house in July of 2026 that we were interested in again. Scott showed us the house and we put an offer on it right away. If you've gotten to this point in the review ask Scott what happened next. It's as if God held this house just for us. No one put an offer on the house!!!! Guys, it made absolutely no sense. We were able to negotiate with the sellers. Scott gave us a starting point and we went from there. Scott was adamant about not letting the sellers keep us waiting for an answer past 24 hours. He was on top of everything. Needless to say we purchased this house in a desirable neighborhood for significantly under asking price with Scott's help. We know it was ultimately God that did it. But I do believe that Scott was God's choice for us. He stuck with us through this crazy market for almost 2 years. We were picky because we didn't want to accept the dictations of the market. I'm sure it was frustrating to Scott to go without a sell for that long. Scott, we appreciate your attitude and gentle grace (which I think is your superpower) throughout this 2 year journey. We pray God blesses you, your family and your business. Scott, thank you for your time and patience. Proverbs 10:22 The blessing of the Lord makes rich, and he adds no sorrow with it. Blessings, The Holmans
