Before we even made the move, Ashton spent time on the phone helping us narrow down neighborhoods and align our search with our top priorities. When it came to viewing homes, she was direct, honest, and incredibly knowledgeable. Coming from the Northeast, we were totally unfamiliar with local structural nuances like stucco exteriors, but Ashton proactively pointed out exactly what to look for. Her expertise didn't stop at finding the house, either--she connected us with fantastic local vendors, including a great mortgage broker, cleaners, electricians, and engineers for a retaining wall project. Her guidance on crafting a competitive offer got us the home we loved, and the entire paperwork and closing process was seamless and efficient. We were genuinely amazed at how effortless buying a home from 1,000 miles away could be. If you are relocating or buying locally, you could not ask for a better advocate than Ashton!"

I am posting this review of Kerry Witt of Witt and Associates as a buyer's agent and as a property…read moremanager because had I known what is posted below I would not have hired him. I met Kerry Witt in 2006 when I was looking into purchasing a house. I entered into an exclusive Buyer agreement with him to help me purchase a house because, as I told him, I knew very little about older houses and needed someone to educate me about structures. I had engaged a similar buyer agent when I purchased a new condo a few years earlier. This agent was great and pointed out everything I needed to know about the condo I purchased. I found a house and purchased it with little or no advice from Kerry. I assumed, incorrectly it appears, that there were no issues to watch out for with my purchase. In 2010, I lost my job and moved out of state to live with family. When I could not sell the house, I decided to rent it out. I asked Kerry to become property manager for a fee and take care of all issues with the rental (other than signing leases procured by and paying for repairs Kerry identified on an ongoing basis). Kerry expressly informed me that after the property was leased I would no longer have to maintain the yard or clean the gutters as he would ensure that the lease make the tenant responsible for those items. I handed over my most expensive possession which was in very good condition. Kerry rented the property to a buddy of his in 2010, at what I suspect, a sweetheart deal rent to a buddy of his. Kerry did not perform any move in/out inspections or even bothered to check if the tenant was actually keeping the yard and gutters clean. This tenant broke very expensive custom wooden blinds when he moved out but Kerry did not charge him for that damage. Kerry rented the property to again in 2011 and followed what appears to be his standard operating procedure of no oversight and concern for the property condition or how the tenant treated the property. In July 2013, I informed Kerry to not renew the lease because I was going to sell the house. In August 2013, Kerry sent me a "repair" list prepared by a buddy of his that listed approximately $15,000 in repairs that included putting on a new roof, gutters, replacing all the fascia, a significant amount of siding and having the exterior painted. The reason for the "repairs" was water damage caused by clogging of gutters by fall leaves which had never been cleaned by any of the tenants. I spoke with Kerry's contractor and found out that he was actually a buddy of his and he confirmed that reason for the damage as clogged gutters. I then called the tenants who informed me that Kerry had been very lax in his response to their complaints about repairs, that he did not conduct any move-in/out inspections, evidence of broken expensive custom wooden blinds caused by the previous tenant, the email/phone exchange between Kerry and the tenants regarding the leaking roof; taking over 2 months to respond to complaints about the separation of an under mount sink from the counter, taking over 3 months to address soil settlement in the yard; the list goes on. I then spoke with Kerry about what the tenants and his contractor buddy had told me. To this Kerry responded that he "did not have the time to" maintain any repairs logs or documentation or move-in/out inspections on the property other than receipts for repairs that I paid for; visually inspect the property on a periodic basis; visit the property until June 2013 after receiving the tenant's report in April 2013 that soil had settled to a depth of almost 2 feet in the backyard; keep me informed of the fact that the tenants did not clean the gutters or maintain the yard; follow up to ensure that tenants had actually cleaned the gutters after tenant informed him that the roof was leaking in December 2012 or when he noticed plants growing out of gutters in June 2013. On August 28, 2013, I fired Kerry for negligence and asked him to return all items related to my property. I was informed by his wife that they would return the keys but had no records and had "purged" my file. I visited the property in October 2013 to hire contractors to perform repairs. At that time I heard the barking of a dog coming from the house. Apparently the tenants had acquired a dog in December 2012 in violation of the lease and Kerry Witt claims that he did not see or hear the dog when he visited the property the one or two times between December 2012 and August 2013, when I fired him. Since October 2013, I have spent close to $25,000 to replace the roof, siding, fascia, soffit, carpeting and gutters, the house painted and repair other water related damage. In addition, I had to have the interior painted to cover the water drip stains from the walls and ceiling of several rooms.

I stumbled across her and her company when replying to some zillow/craigslist ads for private and public apt listings. She was an INCREDIBLE resource that made our search low-stress, easy, and efficient. Her database of apartment info was great, her knowledge of the areas we wanted to look at was downright impressive, and after spending the majority of last Thursday with her, we consider her one of our first new friends in Atlanta! She goes above and beyond in responding to questions, concerns, etc. She has great relationships with seemingly all the Inman Park/Old Fourth Ward area corporate leasing agents we encountered. Bottom line- we had about 48 hrs to find a place while down there, but with her help it took only about 8 hrs and visiting 5 properties. It would've been accomplished in even less time had we been more decisive and not stopped for a leisurely lunch. She was absolutely indispensable and I would recommend her and/or ForLease Atlanta to anyone, without reservation. You will be well taken care of and it will make apartment hunting almost seem fun! When we get ready to buy our first house in a few years, we will be back to see PalmerHouse Properties.

From what I understand, not only was it an absolute disaster trying to retrieve our neighborhoods information/money/etc, but this morning on October 29th, 2024, all owners received demand letters from "Fulton County" demanding we owe them special assessments/fees/interest and $50 for the demand letter. This "demand letter" also threatens a lien on my property, even though they no longer do business with us. On top of this, our property manager sent documents/private information to non board members in a zip file, allowing neighbors who have not been on the board to see all complaints/legal issues/etc that our neighborhood has worked through since the initial agreement with Ardent was put in place. As ex president of the neighborhood HOA, the level of professionalism they portrayed was absolutely despicable and I would highly recommend staying away from this disaster of a company. I will be reporting them to the BBB as well, due to fraudulence.

I had to request a closing letter with the final closing date. I request it on a Monday and pay for 5 day turn around, as I needed the letter for closing that Friday. I called once and was told that everything was fine and I could get an ETA the next day. Great. I called back again, the agent told me he has no idea why someone told me things are fine, their department doesn't even handle closing requests, and gave me another number to call. So I called the general number rather than the local number to talk to someone there. Because my request went at 12:19 rather than 12, it was considered the next day, so I was told I would not receive the closing letter until the following Monday...ok great. I asked them to cancel that letter (since I wasn't able to pay the difference and have them expedite that request) and then somehow magically, after they emailed me to confirm I wanted to cancel that request, I received the closing letter on Thursday...funny how that happened. Coincidentally, the closing agent decided to request a same day letter. Despite the instructions on the portal explicitly stating that requests can only be made by the seller and if anyone else is making the request written documentation must be provided, they still gave the closing agents the letter. Not a problem in this case but clearly willing to not follow their own rules. Now I'm dealing with an issue on them not closing my account. As closed before the end of April, I am not responsible for May dues. I emailed them to close the account as I could not find how to do this online, and received an email on May 2 asking for a closing letter. I send them this closing letter. I hear nothing back. I email 2 wlater asking for an update. I hear nothing back. A few days later I get my bill for June, billing me for June, May, and a May late fee. I call Ardent on May 16. A woman asks me to resend the closing letter. We confirm she receives it via email, and she claims she'll forward to her managers. Two days later I receive another email from Ardent asking for the closing letter. I reply that I am now sending them this information for the third time, and I want this account closed. End up calling them again on the 19th where they claim they do not have me in the system at all as an owner which...I don't even know what that means anymore. My coowner posts a review of the company on google reviews, and the company proceeds to lie and say they only received a request on May 18th and we are in the queue to close the account. Let's see if that happens finally!
