After having multiple conversations in a months time with a realtor named Skyler Hearl, about our…read more(four people in total- one couple and two separate moves and looking for another couple) moving to South Carolina from Utah. She agreed to become our agent for the Myrtle Beach Conway area. We all hit the net and found multiple listings, and sent those request to her to review. Durning several conversations about our time there being short, we would like to see as many houses as we possibly can and that we started out in the Columbia area with agents. We at first had a set date for Sunday, which she really didn't want to do. It happened that we were able to get ahead of schedule due to some of the Columbia listings had just got contracts on them and that we had a free day open so we reached out to her and let her know that if she would like to move up the schedule it's doable and will free up the Sunday. She gladly agreed to do so...then at 5am on the day of the viewings, she dropped us like a hot potato saying that she can't represent us, and that her "team" decided the same thing. via email, even after being asked to send texts, that the email is attached to a business computer and not the phone so access is limited. So we flew out here to South Carolina to look at homes and the ones in the Myrtle Beach / Conway area, now is a total bust. Now we're lost, pissed and over this and yes, you probably guessed it, a text was sent with some extremely chose words in it, but after spending time , a boat load of money and adjusting to her schedule; can you blame it. In short: Do not use this real estate agent and or if true the "team". The whole time while setting up the schedule she just seem more interested in her baseball games and private life then trying to work with customers and earn a commission. This should have been our red flag from the start. Apparently this girl does not want to do her job if it gets in the way of her personal life, there definitely isn't a feeling of drive.

She did a fantastic job with the listing and was available 24/7 to answer the multiple questions that we had as sellers.

This is a health concern We arrived on Sat for our vacation to Garden City that we make a tradition every year. Upon arrival to our rental we realized the refrigerator and freezer were not getting cold. We had purchased groceries before our arrival and thought nothing of it and it probably just take a while. Got up Sunday morning and everything we have placed in the freezer was thawed. Contacted GCR and was told they would send someone out to check it. The guy came checked it and said if it didn't make ice to call him back because he had been called on this before. It didn't get fixed and we had to throw out all the food we had purchased ( 100's of dollars ). Called again Sunday night after hours to the emergency line and was told all they could do was bring a cooler with ice and get a small apartment size one. That didn't happen until Tuesday afternoon and by that time all of our groceries had to be thrown out. We had to wait overnight for the small refrigerator to cool down bought more groceries only to realize Wednesday it wasn't staying cold enough to properly store food at a safe temperature. Contacted them again and was told I was being rude and disrespectful because I had been asking to have a working refrigerator at a property I paid 10,000 for the week for. Another technician just left and checked the readings which match the photos and said he hated it but there was nothing he could do. I was nice Sunday Monday and Tuesday but by Wednesday I was done. This has caused so much frustration over something as simple as a new refrigerator that it has taken away from what was supposed to be to be a relaxing stress free vacation. And the fact that they really don't care and don't do everything to try to make it right is what is even more frustrating. So now it's going to be more money because I guess we have to eat out every meal now can't even store a gallon of milk safely This is a safety issue that we have no place to properly store food and have to deal with a rude "manager" which seems to be the case with the other reviews in here.

On June 7, 2011, my family and I were renting a beach house in Garden City. We were looking for…read moreanother house to rent for our next trip, and five of us walked up to a property offered by Beach Realty. One of us went into Beach Realty's office (which is across the street from the property we were interested in) and obtained a key from an agent inside to look around. I knew others in my family would like to see the house, so I called them over. I took the elevator to the ground level to meet them. Seven more members of my family walked up from the beach and rinsed the sand off of their feet like normal, courteous people would do. I attempted to open the elevator door (which I just left), but it appeared to be stuck, so I pulled forcefully on the door several times. When I realized it was magnetically locked, I stopped. The next moment, an agent from Beach Realty walked across the street to us rapidly and belligerently firing off successive questions without attempting to give us a chance to answer. Here is how the nearly one-sided encounter went: "What are you doing?" "What are you doing to my house?" "What are you doing to my house?" "What are you doing to my house?" "How would you like it if I came to your house and jerked on the door?" "How would you like it if I came to your house and jerked on the door?" "How would you like it?" "How would you like it if I came to your house and jerked on the door?" "You're up here using my water, yanking on my door..." I was finally able to talk over him loudly enough to let him know we had the key, and were viewing the house. During our entire encounter, he maintained a belligerent tone. He said, "That was one guy, I wasn't expecting a herd of people." Condescendingly being described as a herd is derogatory. In Beach Realty's own brochure, the house is listed as "accommodates 26". At this point, there were 12 of us at the house. So, the agent's derogatory use of the word "herd" is indefensible. The agent walked away unapologetically. I completely understand the agent's concern for the property, but belligerence towards customers is a no-no. Aside from the fact that we were potential renters, you just don't talk to people like that, especially if they are in your city spending money and your business revolves around tourism. In a matter of 30 seconds, our level of interest in the house went from probable to being proponents of an all-out boycott of the entire Beach Realty company. The agent's belligerent attitude cost Beach Realty money--bottom line. Avoid this company.

As soon as we walked in there was a terrible smell, not sure if it was smoke or burnt food! Either way a thorough cleaning would have helped! Not even close! This property was filthy! The first thing you see is the living area with disgusting, filthy, ripped furniture! We were literally shocked that they would even rent it this way! Through out the vacation we had to have the furniture covered with sheets to sit on it! The one chair was literally broken! Sheets from the "linen package" were left in plastic bins in the living rooms, when we went to make the beds the mattress pads were stained and dirty! We called immediately and were told they would send some from housekeeping. She came but basically nothing she could do, had someone else come to vacuum and mop the kitchen floor. She called to have someone bring mattress pads. She agreed the property was not clean, sand and dust on the dressers, mattress pads, stains on furniture, sticky food on floor, bugs in the fridge. They said they would bring clean mattress pads which they never did. When I called again on Monday and spoke to someone again on Monday he didn't do anything either. I told him we spent the first evening of our vacation cleaning and at Walmart buying mattress covers, cleaning supplies and candles he said he was surprised as they had not received other complaints! He said he would speak to the owner. Still no return call, I called again Thursday and offered to email pictures and explain what we were dealing with he said that would be good and he would "speak to the own..." He did call back Thursday evening and left a message while we were at dinner and saying he had not heard back from the owner, "he must be speaking to the home owner and as soon as he gets back to me I will give you a call." It's Sunday evening, we have returned home from our trip. I have heard nothing but they will be hearing from me again... I gave one star for the location, beach front and the outside of the home. However, pool was never cleaned had Aton of sand in it when we got there and even more when we left. Grill is disgusting...do not plan on cooking on the grill because no one cleans that either!

After driving almost 9 hours, my family and I arrive to the unit, somewhat early. Wasn't a problem,…read morethe keypad code worked and we were able to get in. When we walked in it felt unusually hot, even for a unit that had been possibly vacant for a day or 2. I went to turn down the air and saw that house was 86 degrees inside and there was an error message on the screen. Upstairs it was 89 degrees and the screen said "low battery." We immediately called the property company and they sent someone out to look at the unit. He was unable to fix it and stated they would get the HVAC company out as soon as they could "it should only take an hour, 2 at the most! This happend just this last Thursday and it was the board that needed fixed." Hmmm so there have already been issues? Interesting. An hour later someone comes to the door with a window unit. We asked him how long it would be, " between 4 and 5 hours." Called company manager, Leslie, back, told her the situation, polite woman but no help at all. "According to the rental agreement, you must give us the chance to remedy the situation. We are unable to move you at this time and unable to give you any other options." She states she was the property's manager and there was no one else we could speak with. So there we sat, in an 86 degree house, with little kids, waiting for the HVAC team to get there whenever that was "may be a while since it is after hours." No "I'm truly sorry for your inconvenience, let me work on something to expedite the situation or fix the problem by moving you." Zero customer service. Zero help. Only reason I gave 2 stars was because it was clean and the house was as advertised (except the air conditioning.)
