Corporate Landlord Under Fire--Avoid at All Costs…read more Greystar is everything that's wrong with corporate property management. This billion-dollar company is currently facing multiple lawsuits, including a federal class action filed in the Southern District of California for deceptive rental practices and hidden fees. That's in addition to scrutiny from the FTC, multiple state attorneys general, and tenant coalitions across the country. Greystar doesn't just raise rents--they gouge tenants during crises using algorithmic pricing tools like RealPage (also under federal investigation). Their properties are often managed by unlicensed individuals who retaliate against tenants, ignore habitability complaints, and refuse to enforce basic health and safety standards. When tenants speak up, Greystar doesn't listen--they lawyer up. They employ Kimball, Tirey & St. John LLP (KTS), a legal hit squad known for threatening tenants into silence with aggressive, one-sided letters. These aren't fair legal professionals--they're collection agents in suits who protect corporate profits, not people. From toxic smoke-filled units to mold, pests, and illegal retaliation, Greystar has earned its reputation--and it's not a good one. If you value your rights, your health, or your peace of mind, avoid Greystar properties at all costs. Document everything and know that you're not alone--they've hurt a lot of people, and now they're finally being held accountable.

We used ChuckTown Homes to do both! We met with our buyer's agent, Andrea, to discuss all of our wants/needs in regards to a new house. She promptly got us set up on a portal to begin mapping out where we wanted to be and for houses to be tagged for us within our budget. She was prompt in getting back to us with any questions and with setting up viewings. When it came to negotiations with the sellers of the home we wanted, so was very proactive! Our buyer's agent, Matt, was just as great! We set up an appointment for him to view our house to discuss what we think we can sell for (as well as why, including other homes in the area that were comparable). He advised us on how to have the home set up for photos and how to have things done for showings. He was able to help us navigate toward good offers and ones that seemed like they wouldn't be a good fit. He was prompt in getting back to us via text, email or even by phone when needed. We really appreciate all of the hard work they put into making the transition of selling and buying our homes easier on our family. We would highly recommend them for your buying or selling needs.

The home we moved into in Feb 2023 after only 45 days, the owner decided he wanted to sell, even…read morethough we had a 1yr lease. Myself as a licensed property manager knows a great bit about the industry. Nonetheless, after a ton of back and fourth, we agreed to allow them to start showing our home under the stipulations that we would be present because of course, all our belongings were there. Erik Taylor, the realtor that the owner of the house chose started off bad from the start when he asked if we could make sure we were fully unpacked for the showings to make sure the house was "show" ready. Even though annoyed, we made sure the home was in pristine shape every time. Those of you with more than 1 child know how hard this can be. However, between the photographers and many other potential buyers that were in and out of our home within the 2 months of showing commented on how well it was put together, the smell of the home was great and it was decorated well. Along with the annoyance of showings, we both contracted COVID as well. We get that, it happens but still just yet another burden we overcame during this time frame. We were devastated and then to also be talked down to by him multiple times was unreal. Between the owner threating to evict us (which again, because I knew the laws of SC) did not work. We all decided to come to an agreement for the owner to pay us a set amount of money to vacate prior to our lease end date and we would vacate once we found a place. The owner would not agree to pay it all up front incase there were any damages. (Again, we had only been living there 4 months, but I get it, I have seen homes get destroyed in that time in my line of work) Of course, since Erik had been in the home and was the liaison between both parties, I would have assumed for him to state his truth of our home. He did not! Instead we had to go through yet another house visit to move furniture and items around just to get the 1st portion of money from the owner. We finally found a new place to call home for our blended family and were finally ready to put this stressful situation behind us. On the day of the walk through, that all parties were supposed to be there for, only Erik showed up, not the owner of the home. Again as the realtor representing the property and being the liaison since the owner was not there, you would assume he would have told the owner the great condition the home was left in. Freshly mopped, windows and doors cleaned, even the garage was vacuumed (who does that - ME). After the 48 hours from the final walk through a text was sent in our group message, including Erik, to communicate with the owner asking where the remaining portion of the money was as the home was left realistically better than we received it when we moved in just months prior. The response was outrageous. Erik let us know that he would not get in the middle and it was between us and the owner at that point. Why of course! He just wanted us out to be able to sell the house. All of this to say, he will speak down to women and persuade sneaky shit just to get what he wants. Do NOT give this guy any future business.
