My partner and I rented with Thos D Walsh for 5 and half years in DC and I can say with certainty…read morethat they will be one of the best landlords you've ever had. When we moved from an apartment to a row house we specifically sought out properties rented from them. The apartment that we rented was rent controled at an extremely affordable rate for DC. But even so - whenever we had any problem with the unit Thos D Walsh was always extremely prompt and got the issue solved for us. I'll never forget when the oven stopped working, we sent in a report and maybe 2 days later they installed a brand new oven in our place. The rent control on that apartment was a huge factor in helping us save to buy our first home. Good people, great properties!

I toured a house with a realtor/ property manager named Kelly. The house itself was under…read moreconstruction, but we worked together to see the vision of what it could be. She explained the owner wanted income before completing the renovations so we would rent before they were completed which is odd. She also mentioned that maintenance sometimes falls on the tenant if the company seems you at fault, which felt like a nice way to say "we will charge you regardless of the reason for the issue". We followed up about applying and were willing to after getting our questions answered, but she never replied. We messaged her personal number she gave us multiple times, followed up through Thos D Walsh, and emailed, never heard anything back. Overall, felt scammy and never got a response from her or anyone. I've seen other reviews saying the same. I'd recommend staying away.

This is a long overdue review! Eric and his team have been managing my Parkside at College Park…read morecondo for approx. 2 years. I had horrible experience with prior management companies. I found Eric after researching and interviewing several companies. He went out to tour my property and was able to provide an honest assessment of what needed to be done in order to attract quality tenants. Since then, Eric has been able to secure great tenants who pay their rent on time:-) I have had stability and full occupancy over the last 2 years, which were issues in the past. Being an out of state owner, it was really important for me to find someone who I could trust to manage my property....and I do trust Eric! I also appreciate Eric being responsive and always getting back to me in a timely manner. Thank you Eric and Urban to Suburban Property Management!

May have been a competent company at one point, but certainly no longer. In the 18 months we…read moreworked with Ed, his company mismanaged the lead inspection process (costing us thousands), mistakenly charged us for maintenance and repair that was the tenant's responsibility, failed to coordinate with our HVAC company on maintenance and payment, failed to remit monthly payment for the correct amount due, and failed to coordinate and communicate with me regarding the renewal process for the tenants. I would avoid.

I've been using Edward as a property manager since July 2020 (i've used 4 different firms over the…read morepast 15 years). I found him after interviewing about 9 firms, and then went with him after speaking with 5 of his references that he provided. He was very transparent when I first connected him and he would quickly answer questions about his management style, company and staffing profile. Perhaps the worst part about Edward is that its hard to find anything negative about him (LOL). He's just the most even keeled person I've ever dealt with... He deals with everything in a calm, paced manner. He's definitely not pushy, and treats everyone with respect, and has the gray matter to anticipate and work through problems before embers turn into flames (and we've had many embers thrown at us over the years, so he's battle tested at this stage in my eyes). One example: a few years back, the unit he was managing for us had a heating issue. The parts were on back order (early pandemic related shortage), and without asking, he went through multiple hoops to try to procure the parts needed, and then checked the weather report and because of an upcoming temperature drop he went ahead and provided backup heating device to the tenant to head-off a potential heating emergency before it happens. Lets roll the clock forward: While your mileage may vary, for me, I have had several documented occasions when I sent him an email near midnight and he responds within 3 or 4 minutes afterwards. I think one time I sent him an email way later than that which was meant for the next day, and he immediately responded. IIRC, I scolded him slightly for not prioritizing sleep over a low priority email from me LOL... but that's just how he's wired. His demeanor also extends to how he hires his staff. Again, the people he's brought on seem very even keeled and are active listeners. Also, it appears he's scaling his company in a methodical fashion. When I first spoke to him 5 years ago, I think he had about 200 properties they were managing. I know he's grown beyond this, but I haven't felt any difference in the orchestration of the work. This was a huge problem for me with a previous firm where as they grew, the wheels came off. Also, with his being a registered agent in Maryland, I'm already set on using him if we hit the market for anything. He's also served as an honest sounding board a few times we considered moving on something.

As a prospective renter, my experience was very poor. The man who showed me the apartment I was…read moreinterested in was very nice, but didn't know much about the property or me (he was waiting in a different unit than the one I wanted to see because he got mixed up). That would have been fine. But what really annoyed me was the application process. The management is not familiar with more modern ways to verify employment and income (such as third party service) and insisted on unredacted pay stubs - which is much less secure. The interaction as we went back and forth was rude and reminded me of scammers trying to get one to divulge information urgently (because so many people are interested in the apartment!) at the cost of better judgement. In trying to get more information from me they cited their "policies" but being unable to articulate why their policy insists on having the information I didn't want to share (like my pre-tax deductions) This conversation was not with some mid-level employee but what seemed to be the owner. I should hope he could articulate the reasoning behind his own policy! To me, this company clearly orients themselves to customer service of property owners, not renters. Which fair enough, but it doesn't mean I have to like it. To the reader/renter: Don't let these people bully you!

I am very excited to lease with Rent the District. My roommates and I found a beautiful home on…read moretheir site, and from my very first correspondence with Hanna via phone, the communication has been flawless. Prompt responses to emails, quick answers to phone calls, transparent updates throughout the process, and even reassurances to call you back if they are tied up at the moment (and they actually call back as soon as they can!) Since my roommates and I are all out of town at the moment, and unable to tour the property in person prior to signing the lease agreement, Hanna assured me that her assistant Johnny would send me a video tour the following day. And sure enough, the next day - Johnny had a detailed video tour of the home in my inbox. Any question I had about the property, Johnny was able to answer. We so look forward to working with Hanna and her team during the duration of our lease agreement. If the last week is any indication of how our experiences will be as Rent the District tenants, I very much look forward to staying at this property. Hanna and Johnny were both very friendly, and professional. I will recommend Rent the District to any of my friends who look to rent or have property management services in DC. Thank you again!

This review is for Joseph Samuel Bruce, one of the realtors at Long & Foster's Crofton, Maryland…read morelocation.  Joe Bruce, which is the name he goes by, is a dishonest manipulator.  If you are a resident of a house or building that is owned by others that Joe Bruce is trying to sell, avoid dealing with him yourself and immediate hire a lawyer to protect you from him.  Joe Bruce will lie to you saying he will follow the law and respect your rights. In fact, Joe Bruce will attach a key lockbox to your home AND THEN manipulate you into signing a form that will grant him permission to enter the home and show it to others at his own convenience.  But Joe Bruce will not show the home himself: he will allow other realtors to do so unsupervised and unannounced.  Joe Bruce will also be sure to issue you only the minimum move-out payment guaranteed by law. Considering how manipulative and dishonest Joe Bruce is to residents, those interested in buying or selling a home must look elsewhere for a realtor as Joseph Samuel Bruce would be unlikely to respect their rights, as well. In fact, considering how bad one of Long & Foster's realtors is at their Crofton, Maryland location, one must avoid doing business at this location, or, indeed, at any location of Long & Foster Real Estate, Inc. in the Washington, DC metro area.

She is a very helpful and patience realtor. She has shown us several homes in the area. Me being me, I am picky as hell when buying anything much less a house. Sonia is always positive with every property she has shown us. She always remains professional regardless if we are interested or not. (Many properties we saw I was turned off by one thing or another) Recently, we finally located a property we were very interested in. Once we were ready to put in a bid, Sonia walked us through the process on each and every piece of paperwork we had to sign. I can say without a doubt, my wife and I would absolutely recommend Sonia to all of our friends and family for their future home shopping!

Terrible service. Disrespectful to homeowners.

When I asked for an explanation for what I'm paying for on the invoice, they didn't give me one. The company didn't either, because they say they were hired by Gordon James, but guess who pays the bill?

11 October 2024 - I hope the company responds so I can revise this review in the future…read more My relationship with Gordon James *was* great for 12 years! As soon as I planned to sell my investment property and was no longer a revenue source for them, the support and willingness to engage with me disappeared. This has created numerous headaches as I plan to sell my rental property. 1) The company accepted a tenant-cleaned property, but still told me they would be charging the tenant for a move-out cleaning. When the tenant complained about the withheld deposit - the company refuses to acknowledge that they told me *in writing* that the $690 cleaning would be charged to the deposit. Now I owe the tenant another $690. 2) The company mailed the keys and garage door openers to my realtor. The package is lost and was not insured by the company. Now they simply suggest filing a "missing package" request and are not willing to accept responsibility for replacing the items that I entrusted to them. 3) Besides from one phone call, all communication is over email, which is creating delays in resolving these issues, leading the former tenant to threaten legal action against me. The company is not taking ownership of any of the issues that were caused by their miscommunication or negligence. Be careful!

My condo had 5 offers and initially sold for $5,000 above asking price AND in 6 DAYS!!! I am very thankful that Teddy was referred to me by a friend (this was my second attempt at selling my condo so I was skeptic about about it selling). I have already referred Teddy to my sister and he helped her buy her first home (she was competing against 9 other offers and Teddy helped her offer win)! My parents are interested in selling in the Spring and they want to use Teddy's services then. I will be referring Teddy to all of my friends and family from here on.
