As a property owner, I have concerns about their solvency. We have seen multiple late payments from them this year without any real explanation. They are currently late on two months of payments. I think their staff is great and they do a good job responding to tenant concerns. However, when cash flow is an issue for a management company, I worry about a possible quick exit and where that leaves the tenants. read more

If you are an owner of rental property, do NOT use this company. Their "trick" is to issue you checks that never arrive and never get reissued. Then they move their bank account and keep all the funds that didn't get to the owners! They are crooks! read more

Finally they had the lawn mowed for a neighborhood duplex, so I am raising review to a C, they have managed this place for years and it's always neglected, however, Brittany did call me back after they did promised work. So I will say that we (nearly neighbors, more than one) are watching it carefully, along with the city of Grandview, for any violations. read more

Renting from A1 Properties has been an experience from hell. I don't know how any of these people have jobs, because I think I could get more helpful information from the guy who sold crack across the street. There was only one competent employee I ever interacted with, but he was so good at his job in comparison that he was never at the office. Impossible to get ahold of. A year lease with this company was twelve months too many. So if you're thinking about renting from them, here's some friendly advice: Don't. Unless you prefer property owners who ignore your repeated requests for maintenance, and you like being straight lied to. read more

I moved with A1 in late July as a newcomer to Kansas City. I should have researched, but I was given to warning about what I would be getting into as a little white girl when I moved to 27th and Prospect. A few days after moving in, the elderly gentlemen downstairs offered me money for sex. I didn't contact police, since he was about 60. I did contact A1 first thing the following Monday. They said they would have a talk with him. While he left me alone from then on, he should've been kicked out for his sexual harassment and they took into no account of how uncomfortable it made me to have to live above a misogynistic pervert who constantly had prostitutes at his apartment. That might be the norm for the area, but that doesn't make it acceptable. A few weeks later, my apartment became INFESTED with roaches. Everywhere I looked was a roach. The kitchen was covered. They were in the sinks, on the floor, on the ceiling, in my bed, on the porch.... They sprayed once which didn't even make a dent. I was informed that the other occupants of the building were bringing them in with unclean conditions, but no one was ever kicked out. The building wasn't bombed. No matter how clean I kept the kitchen, they wouldn't go away. A1 finally let me out of my lease there, so I moved into a better neighborhood and a better house. At first everything was great, but when winter came my pipes froze every night unless I left my taps RUNNING (not dripping). I was promised they would insulate my pipes, which never happened. Then my hot water heater flooded my laundry room. I got the water to a drip, which drained into a bucket that I had to empty twice every night for almost two weeks while they were "figuring out what was wrong." Finally it stopped dripping by itself, but not after killing me via water bill. Then my kitchen sink leaks, which I reported around three months ago and still hasn't been fixed. Three weeks ago, the faucet in the shower started leaking. They've come over to "fix it" twice. The first time consisted of them taking the nozzle that was leaking and putting it on the cold water, so it leaked. The second time was 3 days ago, when they took the nozzle off the cold entirely, leaving me without a shower. When my oven broke, it took them 3 weeks to bring me a new one. This house is also roach/mouse/bug infested which I haven't even bothered with because god knows they won't do anything. Moral of the story, they don't clean or maintain their properties. They don't care about maintenance. They don't care about their tenants. Go elsewhere. To A1: I have given your number to friends, strangers, anyone who's told me they need a place. I've always given you the benefit of the doubt. I won't anymore. Unless you plan on correcting all the financial and mental stress you've put me through, I won't ever say your company name's with a kind word to follow it. Word of mouth is the best advertisement. By ruining relationships with your tenants, you ruin your best advertisement. This is your loss. read more

A1 properties is the definition of "Slum Lords". I HATE this company. I have rented many places in the past and have never had any trouble. They take forever to fix things, they rip you off, and they are rude. I cant even begin to tell you all the stuff I have been through with them. BEWARE. read more

The people at A-1 properties in Grandview are some of the nicest people I know. They were there when I needed help and came through in flying colors. I cannot thank them enough for their caring, neighborly help. I would recommend them to everyone. read more

My advice after just viewing a property is to run away from A1 Properties. Its a bit scary that they say oh we have someone who can treat the black mold infestation, when it has to in reality be removed and a process of spore removal followed. Unless you want to be sick and even worse. Avoid the properties they are managing!!!!! read more

I would NOT recommend using A-1 as a renter or a landlord. I applied for a property and was charged the usual application fee but the leasing agent and manager did not tell me that someone else had already submitted an application. The landlord selected the applicant who was there first and s/he had every right to do so. But I think it was unethical for A-1 to take my money and neglect to disclose that I was the "back-up" applicant. I don't think there is anything wrong with taking multiple applications for one property but a credit/background check should NOT be run on the back up applicants until the first applicant is declined. And if someone applies for a property where an application is currently being considered the new potential renter should be informed of this. Aside from the shenanigans with charging me an application fee and dinging my credit with an inquiry the rental office consistently failed to return or answer any of my phone calls. After I applied and they had my money they NEVER returned any of my phone calls. This is a poor way to conduct business if I were a landlord I would not want a company that cannot return calls to represent me. Stay away from A1 Properties and avoid this rental headache. read more

Where is the minus 5 star choice????DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!!!!! They really are horrible. I am currently serving in the middle east and sometimes I have no access to Email etc. All I got was a tenant that wouldnt pay and emails from Angie asking if I could show some compassion to let these free loaders live rent free whilst I am away paying of the property with my Hard earned money. The emails would only come when I asked where the rent money was. When I told them to kick them out, I thought they had taken action but after 1 moth when I finally got to check on the property, Angie had let them stay. Then when they finally did evict them, the house sat empty for 1 year. They only ever gave updates on what they were doing when I asked but even then they would just lie. I can not stress enough how horrible this company is at property management..... I f you have a property to rent through this company, be prepared to pay money when the tenant breaks a window. I had to!!!!!!!! Horrible horrible horrible experience and Angie is just a greedy women read more
