He is slow to respond to tenant's inquiries and slow to ensure his maintenance personnel make repairs to the property. The property I moved into had not been cleaned and had numerous repair issues, even after signing lease and moving in 6 weeks later. John said he had gone through the place with a "fine tooth comb"; I turned in a long list of items that needed attention. I left the property in much better condition than I received it, yet he kept the majority of my deposit. As a Solider in the Army, I've rented numerous places and have ALWAYS received my full deposit back. I tried pursuing legal means to recover my money, but he was unresponsive to all my attempts and the legal system in Texas is not conducive for Soldiers that move out of the state.

My husband and I lived at Oak Bend Apts for almost 3 years from 2009 - 2012…read more Overall we have had a good experience here... with a few faults. Pros: -Very quiet. It is right off the highway but you rarely, if ever, hear any noise from 35. -Greenbelt access right behind the complex.There is a little piece of the greenbelt that is easy to get to from the neighborhood that is great to take your dog for some fetch or just to get some fresh air. -Few maintenance problems. The biggest problem we had was our fridge went out over the weekend (it was older than me!), but emergency maintenance came quickly and we got a new fridge by Tuesday. -Great location. Right off the highway. Walmart and Fiesta for quick grocery trips is right by. Right off of S. Congress, near Brodie, S Lamar, Auditorium Shores. -Great price. We paid less than $900/month for a 2 bed/2 bath including gas, water and pet rent. -Dog friendly. No dog park but they supply doggie bags for pick up. Wish there was more than one trash can for it though. Seems like every tenant has a dog. -Great neighborhood. Battle Bend Springs is a great neighborhood that I enjoyed walking my dog in. Can be traffic-y due to the motor mile being right by. Cons: -it is an older complex, so some of the cabinets/vanities are old and falling apart and the laminate flooring is curling up and has paint stains. There is SOME crown molding but it's random throughout the apartment. The showers and tubs are just coated in some kind of white sealant to put off an appearance of newness and cleanliness but it peals off easily and shows what is truly underneath. -Walls are very thin and even though we are on the 2nd floor, I could hear people's entire conversations outside in the mornings. -No real amenities to speak of, which is a big con for me. The pool is minuscule. If someone else is already in it, you might as well not go in. Unless you're ok with awkward, close contact swimming. -Most of the balconies/decks are not private so anyone could walk up and grab your stuff. -Washers and dryer hook-ups for the 2 bedrooms are OUTSIDE. Really inconvenient when it's cold and also I constantly dropped stuff on the dirty concrete trying to bring it in the house. -8 cars were broken into in one night, including my husbands. Not the first time I saw cars broken into here. Wish they could install a gate and had better security. Despite the break in(s) I never felt unsafe here. Overall it's perfect for someone looking for a simple, quiet place to live with no frills.

She's incredibly knowledgeable about the Austin area and gives a lot of insight into any homes that you're purchasing. I just found her to be so helpful in the process and genuine and honest, we've recommended her to other family members, and she's generally helped out in the homebuying process rather significantly, steering us away from making bad decisions. I'm truly surprised that she has any negative reviews. We worked with a lot of other real estate agents who just weren't informed on housing issues didn't understand the contracts and didn't really have the time for us. We had the opposite experience with Juanita where she spent a lot of time with us where it was relevant and helped our knowledge of the area when we were new to it and, allowed us to make the best decision for our family in terms of homebuying.

This is easily one of the absolute worst apartment management organizations in Austin. They are cheaper than their competitors for sure, but it comes at a much more substantial living cost. Expect to live in an apartment complex that always smells like garbage, barely meets minimum health standards, and never gets repairs done (or they happen late and somehow create more damage). Don't expect any compensation for problems created by TXA Properties, not financial or dignified treatment. On multiple occasions, they trash talk their tenants, seemingly ok with the impression this sets for their company. Whatever you are expected to pay for living here, I guarantee another tenet is paying less for a more renovated unit. You'll be cheated out every time TXA Properties thinks they can get another dime out of you. I would never write a review like this, but I think it would be unfair for any future tenet of TXA Properties to not know how bad it is to lease with this organization. Do yourself a favor and lease with any other apartment management organization in Austin, I promise this will save you from a nightmarish living experience. With how this company operates, I expect fake reviews that will tell you how nice their apartment is.

Kathy was my property manager for a house I was renting in South Austin…read more The short version is: I would never ever, ever, ever recommend renting a property from Kathy. She is a terrible landlord. Where do I even start on this review... All the negative reviews she has about communication are 100% true. She will ghost you on maintenance requests CONSTANTLY. When she needed something she needed it same day. When we needed something we wouldn't hear back for days, weeks, or at all. She would take upwards of a month to fix many things and if she did she would do it the cheapest and most half assed way possible. Here's a list of some of the things that happened while living in her rental property: 1. When I moved in, bathroom had black mold on the walls near the shower. I reported when I first moved in. A handy man eventually came over and just painted over it. The mold inevitably came back and I had to wait days for her to send someone to rip out the drywall to actually fix the mold problem. 2. Our kitchen sink was clogged for months. She blew us off about it when we told her draino wasn't working and we needed a plumber. After about a month of asking for help, she comes over and discovers there's a clog deep in the main pipe. Her handy man cuts out a giant square of drywall in our laundry room where the clog is. They accidentally burst the pipe and spray gross drainage water all over our laundry room and into our garage. They then proceed to barely clean up their mess and left it for us to clean. After they patched the broken pipe, Kathy waited another month to send someone out to patch the giant hole in our wall. Her excuse was that the handy man had a cold for the past month. 3. Our dishwasher hardly worked at all until it eventually broke. She refused to send someone out to fix it at first claiming "the dishwasher is brand new. It's only two years old." Despite us telling her it doesn't even turn on. It took several weeks to get a new dish washer. 4. This one is the worst of all. In February, because of the freeze a tree fell and took out a power line to our house. This ended up causing an electrical fire in the garage storage room. We were lucky enough to notice the fire before it spread and the fire department put it out. But it did render part of the garage unusable through fire/water damage. When you have an electrical fire the city turns off your water and electricity until the home is deemed safe to live in. While we were staying elsewhere, I asked Kathy about pro rating rent, since we had paid rent the day of the fire and couldn't live in the house we paid for. As soon as I asked about rent proration, she ghosted me for four entire days. She cited a family emergency as the reason she left us high and dry for four days. It would have taken her 10 seconds to text us but nope. Just total radio silence while we were waiting around to hear when we could go back to the place we pay rent to live in. My room mates and I were displaced for 9 days total before we got the city to turn the power back on, even though fire damage wasn't fixed yet. I had to threaten legal action before she agreed to pro rate 9 days worth of rent for the next month. From day one of the fire, she started acting really shady about getting the house fixed claiming she "has a guy with the city that can get the permits process moved along". I spoke to the fire marshall about that and he essentially told me that isn't how things work and that I need to call the code department myself to ensure my house was fixed properly according to code. Kathy was clearly livid that she now had to fix the house legally and became even more passive towards us. Months after the fire, she told me that because I called the code department that it was my fault the house was still partially burned. Which according to the Austin Code Department Supervisor I spoke to, isn't the case at all. Getting a code violation does not mean repairs take over five months to start. The fire happened February 1st. I finally moved out June 30th. During that entire period of time, the burnt garage was never fixed and she still made us pay the full amount in rent every month. Imagine paying 100% rent for less than 100% of a usable home. When I would ask about ANY update regarding repairs she would act annoyed that I would bother her with such at thing. I'm certain that she purposefully never fixed the house as punishment. If you read her canned responses to other negative reviews, I just want to say they are all bullsh*t. She doesn't provide "superior service" to anyone renting from her. She knows that as a landlord she has the upper hand over her tenants and she acts accordingly. Whether out of greed or incompetence, she's a bad person. Her tenants are nothing more to her than her bottom line.

But to tell you more about our process, we moved to Austin before the pandemic and started looking for homes. We were incredibly picky in what we wanted and SEED understood that and curated our search. When we were ready to put in an offer in this incredibly competitive market, SEED was there every step of the way to take us through it. They were incredibly knowledgable and well-educated about every step of the process and we broke down every home into its components and helped us hone in on what was important to us (our idea of what we wanted vs. what we needed changed as we saw more and more properties!) SEED found us a house that we love and now, looking at it from 35,000 feet, I can say that our home falls into that great taste category. While we didn't totally see it at first, they did -- It's a fixer-upper but they were able to see the forest through the trees and we couldn't be happier. Amy got it done when it mattered, and we're now proud, proud homeowners! I can't recommend SEED, Tammy, and Amy enough. They made the process fun and enjoyable and their bespoke attention to us and to detail would have us coming back time and time again if they didn't already find us our forever home!
