As a real estate investor, working with CJ has been like giving a glass of water to a person coming…read morefrom hell. We were with our previous property management company for 3 years and it was a nightmare. We have been working with CJ Real Estate for 7 months and they have completely transformed our experience of investing in Kansas City. CJ Real Estate is a remarkable property management company. They have made our renovations streamlined, they have exponentially increased our leasing rate, they have filled up our vacancies at lighting speed WITHOUT compromising on their leasing criteria. They are very strict with their leasing criteria and say "no" more often than they say "yes." They are looking out for the investor's best interest while keeping the tenants (and rental unit) safe, secure, and clean. What's great about CJ Real Estate is that their management and maintenance team are large enough to accommodate both large institutional investors and small investors. They can handle everything from affordable to luxury rentals. I can't say enough good things about working with them. They are truly aligned with the investor's interests to see the investor succeed in the long run. An example of this is that they want to see their investors grow their portfolios in the markets they manage. They understand that in order for their investors to grow their rental portfolio, they need to have their existing assets be stabilized and managed effectively There is a how they have grown to manage over 2,000 rental units. Their management fees are best on a percentage of the rental income collected, not a flat fee like other management companies. They are incentivized to keep occupancy high year-round. They are motivated to market vacancies, put good tenants in, keep them satisfied, and keep the properties cash flowing. CJ manages over 100 rental properties for my company and my investors and I are sincerely thankful for having found them. We've kissed a lot of frogs in the past 3 years and CJ is- without a doubt- one of the best property management companies not just in Kansas City, but nationwide.

I had an unbelievably bad experience with CJ real estate as a property managent company for a…read moreperiod of ~2 years. We unfortunately trusted them to manage our property when we moved out of state and wanted to rent our home out. Not only were they unprofessional in communication, they simply negelected responsibility, literally no-showed multiple consecutive city inspections, resulting in legal action that came as a complete surprise to us as owners. Move-out inspection reports were incomplete and misleading, left out significant details such as burn marks on the carpet and excessive large trash items left behind by tenants both inside and outside ($700 worth of removal). These details are not inclusive of all events. Throughout the entire 2 years we worked with them, they avoided and simply refused accountability every step of the way. In no way do I recommend trusting this group with your property if you care about it. I will anticipate the company commenting on this review to "clarify" details, amounting to further avoidance of accountability. As a response to Heather, I believe it is disappointing to see public critique. You and CJ real estate beyond disappointed us, and your "clarifications" are unwelcome. Words like "agreed upon" are so interesting following what I've written.

We found Maggie and she had great reviews so I messaged her. She got back to me very quickly and set up a phone call for the next day. Instantly I knew she was the best to help us buy a house and she did not disappoint. She was very communicative and would quickly go see house for us we wanted to see. When we found the one, she made sure we were going to get that house. She made everything easy on us from beginning to end. I would recommend her to anyone and would definitely use her again!

I was a property owner using MGC. I mostly dealt with Jennifer Cooper, but at the end had to also…read moredeal with her sister Michelle. If I could sum up my experience it would be like a plane trip: the takeoff was smooth, the ride had a few bumps along the way, and the landing ended in a smoldering pile of jet fuel and body parts. I will say that they provided good support when there was an issue with a tenant involving an injury. The tenant kept pursuing the issue, and to her credit Jennifer continued dealing with it. And this is why they get 2 stars instead of 1. But other than that, I felt nickeled and dimed as time went on. It seemed like there was always some little problem that I ended up having to pay for like a wasp's nest, a clogged toilet, weird little things that were obviously not my problem but they seemed unwilling to press the tenant. The end started when my long-time tenant moved out and MGC dragged their feet on fixing things with security deposit (like repainting two bedrooms back to a neutral color) so I could put the house up for sale. Then, after the fixes, and after a couple months where the house did not sell, they sent me a list of "make ready" items wanting me to pay for a bunch of stuff they hadn't mentioned. There were things I knew about or expected like the interior needed painting and wood stain touch-up, which I considered normal wear and tear. But there were other things I did not know that should have come from the tenant's security deposit because they were not normal wear and tear, like cleaning, holes in doors, torn window screens, broken pet door, and towel rung wall patches. When I am a tenant anywhere else, I have to pay for carpet cleaning; MGC apparently charges the owner for that instead of the tenant. Back to nickel and dime, they even included a light bulb and an outlet cover that needed replacing because it had a paint stain - in the same room that they just had painted by their contractor to fix the tenant's paint changes. What upset me most was the lack of communication. Over the history, getting specifics about a necessary repair was like squeezing water from a stone. What happened? When? What exactly is the extent of the damage? Why do you have to replace the entire dishwasher instead of just the motor? For the entire last month, I got zero word on walkthroughs or potential renters. So I try to get ahold of them to put it back up for sale and get no response other than "if you want to sell you should work with our service". Note that I'm in California - they took advantage of that. Multiple times, by phone and e-mail, they avoided a real conversation. Eventually my partner gets the keys back and sends me pictures - it was worse than MGC told me! A giant bright red wall in the kitchen, stains on the ceiling (with no corresponding plumbing above?!?), ceiling patches that did not match texture or color, carpet torn up down to the base layer by a dog. So they drug their feet with the first round of fixes, tried to slip a bunch of repairs past me in the second round, and never told me about the most ridiculous, disturbing issues. Now here's the real kicker. The final conversation... When I finally talked to Michelle on the phone (with her sister whispering in the background), she pounced. She was "offended" by my questioning of all the "make ready" items. She challenged me "why would I come back to MGC" if things were so bad? (uh, because I'm 2000 miles away with no other contacts and you have my keys and I thought what you were doing was at least acceptable before I found out about the kitchen and ceiling and carpet) Why didn't you ask about the make ready list months ago? (I did, you didn't respond to my phone calls) She threatened that I owe them money because they put so much time and effort into listing the house for rental. (yeah, that silent month where you took a week off) She blasted me for "changing my mind because things were not going the way I wanted." (btw i got a new realtor and got an offer two weeks later - results, not excuses) She called the torn up dog carpet "irrelevant" because the carpet was already aging. (obviously me bringing it up means its relevant, and old worn carpet is different than dog torn-up carpet). And she talked down to me about how the level of detail I was asking about repairs was "not customary." Let's imagine I'm wrong. Let's imagine that they communicated well the entire time and managed the property like all-stars. Let's imagine that I'm totally blowing everything out of proportion up to this point. I never heard "what can we do to make this right?" or "how can we keep your business?" If you own a business, you do not treat your customers and clients that way. They played a strong hand to throw me off and avoid having to do anything to make the situation right; well now you're not collecting my $ and also not from some of the people reading this. The customer is always right.

Years of unresolved electrical hazards (breaker trips, dead outlets, actual fire risk) that MGC…read morekept blaming on my appliances instead of fixing, until an electrician finally found the real cause: bad wiring. Add in murky late fees I could never get an audit on, disputed charges I was told would be waived, and a sudden switch to cash-only payments with the portal shut off. Get everything in writing and get the wiring inspected before you sign anything here. Lived here for 5+ years across two ownership groups, and MGC Leasing (which took over management in 2022) has been consistently unresponsive to a serious electrical hazard. Recurring breaker trips and power outages in the kitchen, master bedroom, and living room went unresolved for years despite repeated maintenance requests, most of which were met with attempts to blame my own appliance use rather than test the wiring. It wasn't until a licensed electrician finally inspected the property in 2026 that the real cause (improperly grounded wiring) was identified and fixed, something that could have been caught years earlier. On top of that, I've dealt with disputed monthly charges I was told would be waived, late fees that piled up without a clear accounting despite repeated requests for a ledger audit, and a sudden switch to cash-only payment demands with the online portal disabled. When I raised these issues with the city and state, MGC denied any wrongdoing rather than working with me toward resolution. If you're considering this property, I'd push hard for a full electrical inspection before signing anything, and get every promise about fees or charges in writing.
