Most of their rentals are houses currently for sale - meaning they can and will show prospective buyers the property you are paying to live in. All the time. The house I rented had asbestos and black mold, and Assurance refused to do anything about either situation. Ms. Pate actually said "mold is a fact of life when you live on the coast"! That's a strange idea in general - but black mold is toxic! Jan initially seems very friendly and warm, but don't get suckered by it. She really does not care about what's right or logical; the business model she uses is all about getting tenants into market properties and then pushing them out again as quickly as possible. It's a revolving door situation. I was amicable to the very end - I've never had trouble with landlords, so I kept expecting reason to prevail. One of our last interactions was Jan pleasantly informing me that she was keeping my entire deposit, because a bedroom that had been painted orange and black when I moved in was now painted white. Yes - me carefully painting over bizarre, Halloween colored walls with high quality white paint was "damaging the unit." That's when I realized I was dealing with someone who simply does not have integrity. Good luck out there, fellow renters. Avoid this lady like the plague.

I had to remake a whole entire bed in one of the rooms because it was covered in animal hair so there was no double check or cleanliness check. I don't think in that room. It was totally obvious as soon as I started to rearrange the pillows on the bed I noticed all the dog hair all over and I had to rewash my sheets. They did bring sheets to us later, but still that's not what I wanted to do as soon as I already paid a $30 fee to get us in one hour earlier, which I've never really heard of and if you rent Airbnb from him, mom and Pop, then I don't think that they would've done that either. It's all about money to corporation so if you want to not experience a personal stay, do not stay with Meredith lodging

Our party stayed at Sandpiper Retreat in Waldport and after getting settled in we already noticed there was some leftover trash in spots of the garage and crumbs in various places of the house. Not going to ruin the trip and we didn't care, however, 4 hours later we were hearing strange noises around the house and then what did we find? A family of RATS in the garage, Eeeek!!! Reached out to Meredith and they have a very firm "no refunds" and "cleanliness is never 100% guaranteed" policy. Needless to say our trip was completely ruined, waste of money, and we high tailed it out of there and found a hotel nearby. The one funny thing is that one of the neighbors was walking their dog and asked us as we were leaving, "Still got critter issues going on?" (while chuckling). I don't know if RATS are that common along the Oregon Coast but I don't think it's appropriate to rent out a property unless there is complete assurance that the rental is pest free. We deal with enough raccoons when we go camping and this was not expected when booking a "classy" rental. Seems high quality pictures are used for the rentals, and then maintenance and upkeep take a back seat because the way this company operates is taking in bookings, no refund policy, deliver low quality service and send you on your way. If you book with Meredith, you'll never book with them again and quite frankly......they don't care! :)

On the phone and in person, the staff is polite and helpful. However, they are completely understaffed and behind in their maintenance. I am sure maintaining hundreds of properties is no easy task. They, as a business, should additionally employ at least three more full-time maintenance crew members. To my knowledge, there is only one full-time person. While it has been my experience with him that he does good work, there is no reason why any task should take five months to complete. Renting in Corvallis is already extremely difficult. In my experience, many Corvallis rental companies are proud slum-lords, happy to take the rent and give no services in return. At Home Properties, unfortunately, has shown me that they are in this group. The rusty water mentioned in other posts is a problem where I live as well. I realize older homes and buildings require large scale maintenance such as pipe replacement, electrical replacement, appliance replacement, mold prevention, window replacement and more. As a rental company they should be aware that this is what they signed up for. Rentals need to be taken care of, otherwise the units will no longer be suitable for renting out. It is my hope that At Home Properties should begin to care about the properties they own, and to make long-lasting improvements instead of quick and temporary fixes.

In addition, strong wind storms damaged the property and David coordinated the repair of damage to the outside of the house and oversaw the work directly to ensure it was done properly. For someone living out of state Pioneer gave me confidence that my property was being well managed. Thank you!
