We searched to find a place to suit our small family on moving to the area, and found a vacancy at Tasker Village in Stephens City. They're absolutely fantastic about prompt and courteous repairs; every time we've put in a maintenance request they've been out in a matter of hours to fix tile, change filters, etc. The property managers are AWESOME and have gone out of their way for us several times. My husband went to college here and rented from them previously, and Doris remembered him from years ago and has been with us, along with the other staff members, every step of the way. Aikens is an awesome rental group, and our experience has been absolutely wonderful. Can't rate highly enough!

When we first started with Scout Properties, things were great. Our first manager, Nick, was…read moreprofessional and easy to reach. But after Victor took over, everything went downhill fast. I'm not sure Victor ever really knew who we were and I can't be sure he ever visited the apartment before things really went to crap. He completely missed a major toilet leak--even after the tenant moved out--which left us with a cumulative $5,773.14 water bill. Then Scout didn't handle the tenant's voucher renewal properly, with no warning to us, which made the tenant move out early and cost us rental income. Even worse, we've now been stuck for several months without a tenant and have had to cover all the turnover costs ourselves. Despite that, Scout still charged their full management fees while barely responding to us. All of a sudden, Scout dropped us as clients (including our neighbors who were clients also), kept the fees, and stopped returning calls. Our next‑door neighbors had the same experience -- and told us their tenant was even offered an apartment at another property managed by Scout. Everything started fine but turned into one expensive, stressful mess. Don't hire Scout Properties unless you want poor communication, big bills, and months of lost rent.

You get what you pay for, their units aren't that expensive, and it's for a reason. I thought I…read morescored a deal when I recently moved into a unit on Bunker Hill Rd (early June) managed by this team, however, I have had a mixed experience. While some communication has been responsive, the overall condition of the apartment and follow-through on certain issues have been disappointing. Upon move-in, the unit was not thoroughly cleaned. There were hardened food splatters in the microwave, a dirty stovetop, stained cabinets, filthy outlet covers and light switches, and windows that looked like they had never been cleaned. One of the bedroom windows didn't open at all. The living room and bedroom floors were also worn and splintered--rough enough to tear pieces off my mop while I was cleaning. I submitted an inspection report with photos and received a response from the property manager acknowledging the concerns. A bathroom wall hole was patched (though the repair was done without any coordination or notice), and I was told the chipped toilet tank issue was being reviewed with the landlord. As of now, I haven't received a follow-up. I was also told the technician would be reminded to be more mindful of cleanliness, as the workspace left behind wasn't ideal. The most concerning issue, however, was finding a roach inside the microwave--before I had even used it. That was the final factor that led me to submit an early lease termination notice 22 days after receiving the keys. I'm giving 3 stars because rent payment through the portal was convenient, and Victor did respond to some of my concerns (however, it felt like he never responds to an email in its entirety). But the move-in experience, unresolved maintenance issues, and poor communication has bothered me entirely. I hope more attention is given to preparing units for future tenants and being more efficient in communication.

Initial email communications were pleasant and informative. When we met Tony at the property, we knew this was it. There are tons of good looking properties around, but very few people like Tony & Jacki. Their passion for their work & attention to detail is unparalleled. The screening process is thorough, but when you consider that a homeowner entrusted their property to Jacki & Tony, you should appreciate the fact that it is. The communication is consistent, but not overburdensome. Their use of technology is right at the front of the pack. The tenant portal hosts all leasing documents, copies of insurance information, accepts payments, and even allows for online service requests. In short, these folks have got it all figured out. They are solid business people, but even more importantly, are good & decent people. You will not go wrong by doing business with JT Management!

Honest Review of Our Experience at 131 Cypress Point Drive, Charles Town, WV…read moreDate of Move-In: February 1, 2025 Date of Move-Out: Mid September Status: Currently pursuing legal action Monthly Rent Paid: $2,550 (now listed at $3,075) Please Read Every Review Before Signing a Lease If you're considering renting from this company, I urge you to read every single review--especially those written by actual tenants. Most 5-star ratings come from property owners or contractors hired to perform repairs at minimal cost. Renters tell a very different story. My husband and I moved into 131 Cypress Point Drive on February 1, 2025. By the end of that first week, we were already ready to leave. What followed was a deeply distressing experience filled with dishonesty, neglect, and emotional strain. We are not exaggerating. We are currently in court seeking accountability for what this company put us through. What You Need to Know - Security Deposits: The most consistent complaint from renters is that they never receive their security deposit back. We are among them. - Dishonesty: We were repeatedly misled by staff, especially Laura and Tina. Promises were broken, and concerns were dismissed. - Walkthrough Advice: Before signing anything, inspect every drawer, closet, wall, and floor. Take detailed photos during your move-in walkthrough. Document everything. - Lease Review: Read every word of the lease. Ask questions. Don't assume anything will be handled fairly or transparently. Rent Increases Without Justification When we moved in, we were paying $2,550 per month. The family before us paid $1,900. The tenants before them paid $1,700. Now, the company is asking $3,075 for the same property. This pattern of steep, unjustified rent hikes is alarming--especially given the condition of the home and the lack of responsiveness to tenant concerns. The house simply does not warrant this price. It's not an upgrade--it's exploitation. Photo & Documented Evidence We've attached a PDF titled "ALL PICTURES OF INSIDE HOUSE Move In Day 02012025" that includes: - Basement flooding and mold due to a clogged sump pump--reported but ignored. - Kitchen damage including broken drawers, rotting cabinets, and an uncleaned oven. - Master bathroom mold and rot around the shower door and base. - Bedroom walls in poor condition, unpainted and visibly dirty. - Living room ceiling leaks and patchwork caused by unresolved plumbing issues. - Clogged gutters leading to water pouring into the garage. - Bugs on windowsills, dirty carpets, and makeshift tile repairs. - Utility bills and maintenance cancellations that show neglect and lack of accountability. These photos and notes were taken on move-in day and throughout our tenancy. They speak for themselves. Emotional Impact We've had doors slammed in our faces simply because of our association with this property and its representatives--especially Patrick Blood. The emotional toll has been immense. It feels like a blessing to be out of that environment, but the damage remains. Final Words of Caution Please be careful. We are not joking. We are trying to prevent others from going through what we did. If you're considering this property, do your homework. Protect yourself. And if you've experienced something similar, know that you're not alone. Let me know if you'd like a condensed version for Google Reviews or a social media post. I can also help you write a brief caption to accompany the PDF when you upload it.
