To update my review: my realtor toured this property on April 18 and reported a natural gas smell…read more The owner claimed the fire department had checked and found no leak, but the fire department later stated they had no record of any such visit. We moved across the country on June 4, six weeks after reporting the issue, and the gas leak was still ongoing. A contractor later told us the levels were severe enough that we were fortunate a major incident had not occurred. The owner's contractor also improperly replaced the gas line with an undersized one, according to Spire, and I was the person contacting Spire throughout the process. They let me know that the pipe the contractor replaced was 1/4th inch too small and could lead to carbon monoxide or gas buildup in the lines. During the nine months we lived there, two additional gas leaks occurred in other areas of the system. After spending over $10,000 to move and paying rent for May while the house sat vacant, Stephanie Olsen told me over the phone that "this isn't working out" and that we would need to find another place if we continued being "ungrateful." We ultimately moved out early after 10 months, and paid April 2026 rent while the property was vacant and we were in a new rental. The house itself had numerous issues: filthy vents filled with years of dust and mold, insect infestations (basement had roaches, beetles and grasshoppers) requiring extermination, and a failing sump pump system with drain flies that contributed to a very strong basement odor. The home was at times uninhabitable due to the gas smell, causing headaches and dizziness for both me and my Mom, and we paid out of pocket for hotel stays. This experience was emotionally and financially exhausting. After being threatened with eviction, do you really think I felt comfortable reporting every issue with the house? Of course not. So we financially covered multiple issues due to fear of retaliation.

To update my review. My realtor toured this property on April 18th and reported the smell of…read morenatural gas. The owner said she called the fire department and there was no gas leak. ( fire department had no record) We moved from across the country on June 4th . The gas leak was ongoing. The contractor hired by the owner was incompetent and replaced the gas line with too small of a line per spire. And I'm the one who contacted spire every time . We went on to have 2 more gas leaks in the 9 months we lived in this home . At other areas of the gas system. Stephanie Olsen definitely threatened to let me out of my lease in June when we spoke on the phone after I had just spent $8,000 dollars and payed rent for May( while the house was vacant). And no one would be happy with this situation. We left early and payed for April of this year while the house was vacant. This company and the homes owner were awful. Stephanie literally screamed at me and threatened to evict me on the phone until I was in tears. The house was literally inhabitable due to the extremely strong smell of gas, which was causing headaches and dizziness for me and my son. We paid to stay in a hotel. The vents were filthy with dust and mold that had not been cleaned for years. We had to pay for an exterminator due to a hornet and grasshopper infestation, a plumber for a failing sump pit motor infested with drain flies / worms, which also contributed to the basement odor. The list goes on but my point is - this was a nightmare both emotionally and financially for us. Do you really think I'm going to report every issue wrong with the home after I was threatened with eviction? Obviously not.

I have a vintage condo in the, Tower Grove East neighborhood of St Louis, thanks to Garcia…read moreProperties. When I made the decision to move back to STL from suburban life in IL, I knew I wanted to use Garcia Properties as my agent. I support several of their restaurants along Kingshighway and like how they truly believe in the city. The day I stopped in to start the process, I met with a young lady (forget her name) and she asked a variety of questions. She then matched me up with, Stefan Kelly. When we met, I told Stefan I wasn't under any time frame. My goal was to really find the perfect match. We worked as a team, I searched Zillow and followed other listings as well. I started out wanting a bungalow or some type of small house. Then I started looking at condos, as a possibility. Once I did that, I knew I was on the right track. Once I found the one that meet all my needs, Stefan and the Garcia team made it a reality. So, if you're looking for your first, or a new dream home, I highly recommend Garcia Properties.

Our security deposit also took over three months to receive after being threatened with legal action. He was very unprofessional, dishonest, and insensitive towards the satisfaction of his renters. I would never rent from this property again and would never recommend them to anyone. Making money is his chief motive, even if it means unfair and unreasonable allegations.

I have rented both commercial and residential properties in St Louis for years these people are the most dishonest I have ever seen. I tried to actually get my moneyback when they violated the lease before I was even was able to move in but they would not give me my money back. These people will say any thing to get you to sign a lease. Once they have your money $2250 deposit in my case, you are on your own. Lies, Lies Lies that is all you get from them. Things in the house broke every few months. You had to beg them to fix anything. I went 3 months without being able to use the master bath tub that is just one example, the air conditioning broke twice, the dishwasher broke twice. They are still trying to get $60 from me because I purchased and installed a new water filter in their refrigerator to stop it from leaking all over my food. I provided a receipt and the old one to them but they said it didn't need replacing. I was paying $2250 a month in rent too. They did not disclose that I was renting in a private subdivision that had bylaws to follow nor did they give me a copy of them. So there were issues about parking. landscaping etc.. They couldn't even tell me when the trash got picked up. There are many professional management companies in St louis THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM! Although if you have a house in disrepair they would be your company to rent it. Bottom line this company only cares about the money they can make, not about the people that rent from them or the property they rent.

My experience living here has been frustrating. This summer, I went nearly a full month without…read morecentral A/C -- during a heatwave. Management offered a window unit as a temporary fix, but I had to decline due to safety concerns. Communication throughout the entire situation was poor, and ultimately, no concession or rent credit was offered for the inconvenience. Unfortunately, this wasn't an isolated issue. Since moving in, I've dealt with a sewer backup into my apartment, a leak from an electrical pipe in the laundry room, and a bathroom door that no longer closes because it's been painted over too many times. Maintenance only performed temporary fixes on an issue with water collecting between the liner of the tub -- I ultimately had to outsource help to have the drain replaced myself. Critters are getting into my unit through an unseen opening in the laundry area, and maintenance has mistakenly entered my apartment on multiple occasions. Confusing my unit with another is not a valid excuse after the first time. While the neighbors are friendly, the infrastructure is outdated and doesn't reflect the price point. I also find it unsettling that a raffle for a rent credit is being offered in exchange for positive online reviews. For the amount being charged, I would encourage potential renters to carefully consider their options.
