It contained a roll of toilet paper, a small Hammer, a bottle of water, and several other necessities. It was so thoughtful because those are the kind of things you never can get access to when you move in. At first. Kudos to Lisa and the company!

We worked with Acorn + Oak for roughly 3 years managing our rental property, and unfortunately our…read moreexperience steadily declined over time due to poor communication, constant turnover in points of contact, and lack of follow-through. The final issue that led us to terminate management involved landscaping/tree work that perfectly summarized the broader problems we experienced throughout the relationship. We requested quotes for landscaping work in mid-March and did not receive them until we followed up weeks later. When the quote finally arrived, the pricing didn't add up correctly and had to be clarified after additional follow-up. We approved what was described as trimming and cleanup work, but communication throughout the process remained inconsistent. Scheduled work dates were missed, partial work was completed without updates, equipment was left at the property, and both we and the tenant repeatedly had to ask for status updates. Most concerning, a large holly/privacy barrier on the property was cut back far beyond what was communicated in the approved scope of work. We were later told after the fact that the vendor believed mildew/mold treatment required such an aggressive cutback, but that was never explained to us before the work was performed. Had that been communicated upfront, we would have had the opportunity to discuss options and understand the actual scope of work being approved. The larger issue, though, was not just the landscaping situation itself -- it was the ongoing lack of proactive communication and oversight. Over the course of our time with Acorn + Oak, we went through multiple points of contact and consistently found ourselves needing to follow up for updates, quotes, scheduling information, and basic responses. Even our tenant expressed frustration with delays and communication issues. For a company charging a 10% management fee, we expected significantly better service, coordination, and accountability. Instead, the experience often created more stress and work for us rather than less. The Broker in Charge ultimately allowed us to terminate our agreement early, and we are now self-managing the property while evaluating better long-term options. I rarely leave negative reviews, but I think it's important for prospective owners to understand that communication and consistency were major issues in our experience.

My dealings with Eric, who is very professional, conscientious and courteous has handled any of my issue that have arisen in a timely manner. For example, last New Year's Eve, the furnace quit working so I contacted him and within two hours someone was on site to fix it. I'm appreciative of the way Eric handled this emergency! I would recommend doing business with this company and can honestly say Muscadine + Pine Property Management, and especially Eric, has proven to me to be a landlord who cares for their renters and properties alike!

From the owner: You deserve a property management partner that you can mutually work with and combine complimentary…read moreservices. We help execute your investment strategy and deliver unbeatable peace of mind. Far too long, property management has been something to endure, not enjoy. We’re taking a fundamentally different approach by questioning the norms of the industry and creating truly great outcomes for everyone involved. So property investors can thrive. So tenants can love where they live. An example of challenging industry norms is how we amortize our lease-up/renewal fee over the lease term. We understand that investors have bills to pay and going a month without some cash flow hurts. So, we spread the lease-up/renewal fee over the course of the lease term for your convenience. We’re doing this (and more) by combining the sophistication of technology with the personal touch of a local management company. That means caring for properties like they’re our own. Operating with transparency. And developing solutions that dramatically reduce stress and improve performance. We are industry veterans; real estate pros with property management experience and track records of driving change through innovation. Together, we’re here to set a new standard and make people happy in ways they never expected. In everything we do, we want to change property investing and management for the greater. We look forward to helping you execute your investment strategy!

Outstanding Property Management - Highly Recommended!…read more Rick Soles Property Management has been my trusted management company from 2017 to 2025, and I couldn't be happier with the service they provided over the years. As someone living abroad, I had to rely heavily on their responsiveness and professionalism across different time zones--and they never disappointed. It always felt like the team was just waiting on the other end of the email, ready to resolve any issue quickly and efficiently. They consistently went the extra mile, were always on time, and maintained a high level of professionalism. My tenants throughout the years were also very satisfied with the team, which gave me peace of mind knowing my property was in good hands. That sense of security is exactly why I stayed with them for so long. Recently, they supported me through the process of selling the property, and their help was invaluable. I'm genuinely grateful and proud to recommend Rick Soles Property Management to any property owner looking for top-tier management, or to any tenant seeking a team that truly cares about their needs just as much as the owner's. Thank you for everything!

Mann is easily the most incompetent and unprofessional agency I've ever encountered. His lack of professionalism and follow through cost his property owner the opportunity to rent his house. Mann was aware that I was coming from nearly 1,000 miles away and had 4 days in which to secure a rental home. His office neglected on multiple occasions to produce a lease despite repeated inquiries. I took the initiative to go to his office and do it myself and bring him the financial terms. I shared that with one of his staffers, who said "that would be good." To my surprise the address ended up being a PO Box in a UPS store! Avoid dealing with this outfit!

Buying a home is a big investment and sometimes the process can be very stressful. But if you are…read morefortunate to find a real estate agent who is not only knowledgeable of the process, but approaches the effort required as if he or she was making the investment for him or herself, that helps in alleviating the stress from the buyer. I say this because I had direct experience with real estate agent Jerry Johnson (who now owns a brokerage) when we moved into the Raleigh area nearly 5yr ago and was looking to buy our home. We were looking to find and close on a home within a month. Given the low inventory and with many buyers on the market at that time, it almost seemed improbable. But with Jerry on our side, we made it happen. With his experience and desire for success in what he does, Jerry always reminded us about the next step and what we needed to have ready while we were still working on satisfying the requirements of the current step. He wanted to be sure there was no obstacle as we navigated from one process to the next given the time constraint. We followed his direction and successfully closed on our home within a month. We are enjoying the home he helped us buy and are glad we chose him as our real estate agent. Jerry has helped many other families buy their homes and I don't expect their experiences to be anything other than very pleasant. He is a nice and trusted person to work with. So, if you are looking for an agent who will work the hardest for you and not rush you into making a quick buying decision, then Jerry is your person. Because of his success as a real estate agent, he is now operating his own real estate business. So, give him a call when you are ready to buy that home. Your experience will be just as good as mine if not better.

The previous tenant left the place in a complete mess and skipped the planned exit walkthrough.

They made sure everything you can possibly think of was taken care of, from clean up, to paint, to sourcing the people to get all the work done in a timely manner while simultaneously having shopped around for the best pricing! They did a complete analysis of the market to out my listing at a competitive rate in the dead of winter and got me a tenant within a month of the last one leaving! And to top it off, they had very competitive pricing. They are great with tenants and are communicative with me to be aware as to what is going on with my tenants.
