Her professionalism, dedication, and attention to detail set the standard for what a property manager should be. If you're looking for someone to manage your property, you won't find a better choice. Lisa ensures that properties are well-maintained and that tenants are both comfortable and responsible in keeping the home in excellent, move-in-ready condition. The entire Cityscape Realty team is personable, responsive, and genuinely cares about both owners and tenants. Whenever maintenance was needed, the process was handled quickly and efficiently. During our time as tenants, our HVAC unit failed during a hot period. Lisa immediately stepped in to make sure we were taken care of, providing temporary cooling units until repairs were completed. That level of care made a huge difference for my family. What truly sets Cityscape Realty apart is their commitment beyond just property management. Lisa and her team went above and beyond by helping prepare my family and me for homeownership. Thanks to their guidance and support, we were ultimately able to purchase the home we had been renting. My family and I are incredibly grateful for the years of excellent service we received. Cityscape Realty is truly one of a kind, and we highly recommend them to anyone in need of real estate or property management services.

I'm on the Board for a condominium building in Richmond City and after years of trying to self-manage, we were referred to Dodson. We work specifically with an Association Manager named Foster. Foster has worked tirelessly to help our building when we've had emergencies (on or off the clock), to schedule a reserve study and attend our work/planning session, to organize our financials/ vendor contracts, and to maintain regular communication with the building's residents. While these points are written into our contract as expectations, I feel as though Foster goes over and beyond with the highest levels of professionalism and attention. Dodson has highly reliable companies that they've referred us to for varying needs. I was skeptical at first that there may have been some sort of "kick back" for referrals they give, but our contract with them clearly states that they accept nothing in exchange for their referrals,and at any point we can always select our own vendors outside of their recommendations; the irony is - their recommendations have actually outperformed our own previous selections! Their rates are affordable and I feel like we really get every penny out of what we pay. Last but not least, Dodson has a wonderful handy man, Knox, who is truly a jack of all trades. He's quite accessible, very reliable and trustworthy, and consistently does good work for everyone in our building. Thank you, Dodson (specifically Foster and Knox) for making our condominium building a much more smoothly run home!

Update in photos. To…read morethose in RVA who own a property with tenants OR to who are currently looking for rental housing: I retract every positive statement that I've ever made about my property "management" company, Keyrenter Property Management Richmond. TLDR version of what's below: they are unorganized, have very questionable business practices, do not communicate well internally, will relay mixed messages to both owners and tenants, and will 100% drop you as a client like a hot sack of potatoes when it's inconvenient for them to do their job. What started out as a seemingly great arrangement has turned into an absolute nightmare. On July 6th, I received notice that my tenant of three years was not renewing her lease again. That same day, I sent a very casual reply email to KeyRenter saying that I was contacting my realtor to discuss the POSSIBILITY of selling vs continuing to rent. On July 13th, without speaking with me or confirming anything AT ALL, I was contacted by the general manager, Jeanine, with the tenant CCed in the email stating that they had sent her deposit to me and that I was taking over property management effective immediately. This was just as I was going to Alaska for ten days, so the timing was terrible and created a massive amount of stress as I struggled to get in touch with them to resolve it. They had "assumed" that I was listing the property right away, so simply dropping the last month and a half of their contract was apparently protocol. They apologized when they realized their blatant error, but they left the tenant's deposit in my possession and just told me I'd be responsible for disbursing it with 45 days of the tenant moving out. Then, while I was busy trying to sell my Palmyra house and buy another in less than a month, my tenant contacted me to tell me she got a $600 water bill. I immediately contacted KeyRenter and filed an emergency maintenance request on the tenant's behalf. My tenant works long shifts and doesn't have a lot of down time to sit on hold with Richmond Utilities, so I called them, and after an hour and a half on hold, I was told that only my tenant could speak to them about the bill or schedule a time for them to come out to the property. Almost a week passed, and KeyRenter did nothing. I then asked them to send a plumber to the property preemptively in case there was a problem that could worsen over time. Three days later, KeyRenter replied and brushed me off, saying that Richmond Utilities would handle it. After a second week passed, I asked again, and they finally sent out a plumber. Fortunately the source of the problem was that the toilet was continuously running, which was an easy fix. However, that still left my tenant on the hook for both her $600 bill and also the second (likely) large water bill she'll receive for the two weeks that elapsed prior to the toilet getting fixed, since KeyRenter neglected to send someone out sooner as I requested. After that situation, they told me that I would need to conduct my tenant's move-out walkthrough and collect the keys. I do not live nearby, and these kinds of things are what I hired a property management company to handle (move-out walkthroughs are listed as an included service on their site). I reviewed the entirety of my contract, and I emailed back pointing out that these things were specified nowhere in it, again asking them nicely to do their jobs and let me know when they had it scheduled. One person, Mary, provided me with the date that KeyRenter would be conducting this; Jeanine then replied saying that KeyRenter would not be conducting one at all and that I must have misunderstood an automated email. I forwarded her coworker's (not at all automated) email to her. After that time, everyone else stopped responding, and I was unfortunately left to deal only with her. She has since been disrespectful, dismissive, and not at all concerned with the predicament she's left me to handle or the awkwardness and inconvenience she's created for my tenant. I'm filing complaints both with the franchisor and with DPOR, and I cannot wait for them to experience the levels of panic and stress that they forced me to endure since the beginning of July. Per their website and what the owner claimed when I hired them, "You want to work with a company whose corporate values are an extension of their personal values. This principle is what has led KeyRenter Richmond to become an industry leader in our area. Our success stems from treating you the way we'd like to be treated. We focus on values, ethics, customer service, client satisfaction, innovation, quality, and personal service that gets results. When you work with us, you get access to a team whose foundation is built on integrity, honesty, and accountability. We genuinely care for our clients and the community they represent, and that is reflected in our care and service." This is all nothing but a bold-faced lie; do NOT fall for it like I did, and steer clear.

I relied on that agreement and paid the balance in full. Before making the payment, I specifically communicated multiple times where and how the remaining security deposit needed to be sent. I was assured each time that the funds would be sent to me. Despite this, the company ultimately sent the security deposit to the wrong person. When I brought the mistake to their attention, instead of correcting the issue, I was told that it was my responsibility to resolve the situation with the person who incorrectly received the funds. This is completely unacceptable, especially considering I fulfilled my end of the agreement based on the property manager's assurances. This issue, along with several other major problems I experienced during my time with this company, has made this one of the worst rental experiences I've ever had (6 months without a washer, slow maintenance, unresponsive staff). Based on my experience, I would strongly recommend that prospective tenants thoroughly research this company before trusting them with their money or choosing them as a rental property manager.
