Larry was extremely unprofessional!!!…read more After filling out and paying a total of $120 in application fees Larry requested to inspect our current house where all 4 of us applicants currently lived and 1 of the applicants owned the house out right. Out of the 4 applicants 3 of us had listed the required prior rental references. Because 1 applicant was a home owner she had none. Larry didn't call any of our references (I checked with each company that we listed), but instead he requested to do an inspection of our current home? After thoroughly looking over every room, he then tried to tell us that some spackling on the wall in the kitchen was why he wouldn't rent to us because it was "damaged" -- which the home owner was always doing small renovation projects and it was NOT damaged! After we kept asking more questions about why he WOULDN'T rent to us (we had excellent credit/excellent rental history) he then tried to just convince us to get another car so we wouldn't have to move???? Which was so DAD of him to tell us to change our lifestyle since we all wanted to move to be closer to work so we could walk and bike and not drive. He then left our house in a hurry and didn't even shut the front door. After deciding not to rent from him because the entire required "inspection" was creepy and intrusive and something I've NEVER EVER experienced as a renter of 7 years, I found out that the property he was trying to rent to us wasn't even registered at the time with the City of Grand Rapids. After requesting an application fee refund since it technically wasn't a registered rental he just ignored every email and never refunded our money. When Larry saw that 1 applicant was a home owner and had no official rental history he should've called all 3 other applicants rental history references before requiring an intrusive and probably illegal inspection of our current home at the time. I am SO incredibly happy that we did NOT rent from Palmer Property LLC and would HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU STEER CLEAR OF LARRY and his business Palmer Property Management -- he does not know what he's doing and is extremely unprofessional in every encounter we had.

Most aspects of the building that contained my apartment was pretty high quality. They also have a facebook page to foster a community for everyone living in the building which is pretty nice. Unfortunately the apartment is not as large as advertised. The '540 sq ft' apartment I lived in was actually no larger than 450 sq ft (not sure if that is false advertising?). It was also common for the common areas to smell like wet dog. On top of that, when I moved into my apartment the key I was given did not work so I could not access the building. They also forgot to give me a key to the mailbox on the first floor. So, the physical quality of apartments are nice because they are new (albeit a little false advertising on their size). My experience moving in really wasn't that bad but the small things that happened when I moved in seemed quite unprofessional. They indicate a bit of lazy and unprofessional behavior on the management side of things.

I've been working with Tim Vandentoorn and his management company, United Properties of West…read moreMichigan, for about ten years now and have been extremely satisfied with the results. I can't say enough good things about them. Over this time, Tim was able to find and recommend to me 28 investment properties, including mostly single family Grand Rapids homes, that turned out to be of great value both in terms of rental income and capital appreciation. The portfolio has generated exceptional revenue that allowed Tim to both systematically improve the properties and to provide me with an excellent income. Over this time, the value of my properties increased by around 3-4X without requiring any further capital investment from me. Tim absolutely knows what works for the investor in Grand Rapids and West Michigan. Tim and United Properties handle everything and make it extremely easy for the investor. This includes the property recommendations, the finding of sellers and then buyers, the negotiating with them, the management of the properties, and the improving of the properties. Tim and United Properties took care of all the work that so dramatically boosted the value of each property. They will manage every single detail of the rentals for you so that investment is pain-free and incredibly profitable. If you're looking for a property management company that delivers results and takes care of you like family, this is the one. I very highly recommend Tim Vandentoorn and United Properties of West Michigan to anyone looking to invest in West Michigan real estate. Five stars all the way!

DO NOT RENT FROM THEM!!!! READ BELOW BEFORE YOU RENT!…read more - We have had several issues with UPM and the maintenance department scheduling inspections without getting availability from us. We have a dog and we have requested several times to contact us before entering our house. They continue to ignore this and we are constantly having to take time off work to be home with our dog. One inspection I told them they were not allowed to enter my house because my dog was going to be home and I wasn't originally going to be able to be there but I was able to make it back to find them about to just enter my home regardless... - To make matters worse, good luck ever having a vendor or maintenance department person show up on time. I've had to take time off of work several times to get something fixed in our house just for them to not even show up... Which meant I had to schedule even more time to take off work for them to be there. - THEY WILL CHARGE YOU FOR REPAIRS... We are having an issue with our toilet leaking and they informed us that we would be charged if it was deemed that it from personal use. WHAT OTHER REASON WOULD A TOILET BE LEAKING. Scum bags just trying to take your money any way they can. - RENT INCREASES EVERY YEAR, THEY WILL INCREASE YOUR RENT EVERY YEAR THAT YOU STAY AT THEIR PROPERTY. - Bullshit fees (pet rent), they made us start paying $10 a month for some bullshit program that was "supposed to improve renting services" which literally does nothing, and we had to pay 1.5X 1 months rent for our deposit because their credit check utilizes a different fico score than normal which will always typically be way lower than your actual score.

Predatory Practices and Invasion of Privacy…read more My experience with American Realty Property Management has been nothing short of a nightmare. Recently, they sent my household an email about their "2025-2026 Pre-leasing Season," a completely unannounced and highly aggressive practice that pushes tenants into making premature decisions about renewing their leases. We were NEVER informed about this process beforehand, and suddenly we are being subjected to invasive home tours and showings while we are still living in the property. Per their notice letter, they threaten that "A fully signed renewal lease is the only way to stop showings and remove a home from our website." Beginning on November 1st, they plan to show the home we're renting to prospective tenants--despite the fact that our lease still has 7 months left! This blatant disregard for our privacy and right to peacefully enjoy our home is appalling. While they claim to provide 24-hour notice before showings, it doesn't change the fact that they are invading our space, all in an effort to pressure tenants into renewing their lease early or risk constant disruptions. Their practices feel not only predatory but also unethical. American Realty shows zero respect for its tenants' well-being, focusing instead on fast-tracking profits. If you value your privacy, your peace of mind, and your right to live without being harassed, I would seriously recommend avoiding this company at all costs. This is the worst experience I've had with a property management company, and I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
