    Would give zero stars if I could. Worst leasing agency in probably all of America. Had us look at a…read moreroom and bring all our furniture down JUST for them to tell us they rented out this morning. Honestly, not even sure how this place is currently running. Thinking I seriously dodged a bullet because if this is what I had in store? I'm good.

    I would not wish Wise Choice on my WORST ENEMY. They have a manager there that will laugh in your…read moreface and talk down to you and never know what is going on. I thought John was something else. He turned out to be OK compared to I believe her name is Regenia. She is a liar and the DEVIL!! She is the cruelest person I know. She is rude and just not even Human acting at times. She even forgets that she works for the owners of these places that she is renting out and is lying to them. Never does repairs.. FOR GOD sakes anyone renting from them DO NOT Put money into anything. Call them and hound them for the repairs to be done. When they are not done look for a legal way to break your lease. I was so stupid to not do so. I just wanted to live in peace. I appreciate that lied and would not redo my daughters lease. She actually owns homes and rents them out herself. See if they would learn from her, she has had renters for over 25 years. She does a excellent job at renting out her properties. When her tenants need something, it is done right then. No questions asked. That is why she keeps the same people for years. She has always been able to pay her rent. John knew everything. So did the owner. It is ok. She always had another place to go. She just did not want to be 15 mins out of town. So take it from me. The heck with Wise Choice. She was not perfect. She always paid, she fixed what needed to be fixed and you never offered her a dime. She never said a word. I hope you enjoy messing people over. Especially a old Vet who fought for your freedom just to treat his daughter like dirt and not even listen to her. One thing for sure. She is a survivor. You could never do the things she has put up with and been through. I am proud of her.

    Supervisor Technician (Charles) is phenomenal and very informative. I had a couple of maintenance…read morerequests during my move in orientation and he handled them immediately by resolving it himself. The home is equipped with additional features like a resident app to control door locks, HVAC, maintenance requests, rent payments; very convenient. The rent includes Water, Trash, Sewer & Spectrum. I scored my experience 3 stars bc I am spammed with a survey request for every single thing possible. The move in process was simple but overwhelming with so many texts and emails. It was impossible to keep up. The home was inspected for cleanliness prior to my move in but had drink/ food splatters on the baseboards and walls from previous tenants. The paint job was incredibly sloppy and unprofessional. It is obvious that they hire cheap/unlicensed contractors to clean and paint. ​

    DO NOT RENT!!! 738 Brighton Ln. Garland, TX 75043. You will be very disappointed. The home has…read morefoundation problems. The windows are so old, and the air seeps out every which way you can imagine. Winter months light bill maybe $150.00 due to poor house maintenance your light bill will be $600 in the summer months. The roof is falling, the fence is rotting and falling apart. There are cracks throughout the entire house. This leasing company is horrible. They take your money you can NEVER get a hold of anyone with authority. Every time you call you must speak to a call rep that barley speaks English. When it comes to repairs on the home, they send out 3rd party contractors to put bandages on major issues. Every single 3rd party contractor that came to the house stated that the leasing company "Invitation Homes," are cheap and my repairs are just that. The front bathroom is filled with mold. They take your money and the repairs are subpar at best. I have chosen to leave the home due to improper treatment as well as the decline of the home. They will just go in and paint and make it look pretty, only to scam another family to move into a home that has mold and foundation issues. They knew that the home has foundation issues and neglected the home as you can see where the walls are breaking apart with the mesh behind the paint. Again just proof of the subpar repairs. I would give this company no stars if I could as I feel like they are just a money hungry company and don't truly care about the tennants and the conditions they provide to live in. My story is just one of thousands of similar experiences: add-on fees, bogus charges levied against security deposits, poor living conditions, and no real recourse for renters. Even after losing a recent FTC class action lawsuit, this company continues its fraudulent practices, relying on renters being too busy or powerless to challenge them. Don't be fooled by their social media response- they'll "look into it" to save face on social media and then do nothing about it.

    Ann Marie is, by far, the best real estate agent in Atlanta. She worked very hard and was extremely…read morehelpful in helping me find the perfect home for me. I can't even say how many places we looked at, there were so many. Ann Marie, who took the time to get to know me, had no problem telling me what was wrong with a property as much as the positives. In fact, there was a town house that I really liked and she talked me out of buying it. She said, "I will not let you buy this place!". She explained why I would eventually hate the town house, and she was right. What real estate agent does that?!?!?! Ann Marie does. Eventually we found what would be my home in Alpharetta, and getting it was an emotional rollercoaster. Ann Marie did such a great job keeping me from going crazy. Ann Marie is a great real estate agent and, more important, a really great person. If you're buying or selling, you'd be a fool to not to call her. You won't regret it!!!

Being from out of state, her knowledge of the area, market and schools was extremely helpful to us. We also greatly appreciated her endless patience with us while we looked at many homes to narrow down our search. We have since used her to sell our home and purchase another home this past Fall. I would without a doubt recommend Ann-Marie and the Sharp Realty Partners team! You can trust them to help you find you the perfect home, guide you through every step of the process and represent you.

    I have been renting for 3 years, first 2 years of payments were made on time. as soon I had a…read morehardship beyond of my control due to medical reasons for the past year. I made all necessary payments , late fees , rent, court costs and the amount they requested which was 2 months worth of rent that they requested 2 weeks apart , etc..... I tried to keep the communication open between us , provide documentations, and let them know everything that's going on with me. i never received an HOA NOTIFICATION except for one which was to spray clean the house. I have paid all the necessary fees and past due payments that's needed to be paid. All caught up. Now that I'm caught up, I get an email stating that I'm un eligible for renewal And I need to move out in September 30. So my previous on time payments didn't count? My non compaints, only 1 HOA violation don't count, my open communication with yall doesn't count? I never had a problem with the home except for the garage and refrigerator and I actually love my home and don't want to move. They tell me that their decision can not be reversed and the decision is what it is. So my suggestion to you, do your homework before making any decisions. I thought I would be in this home for a while but it is what it is. Now I gotta go tell my my kids that their decision is final and there isn't any thing I can do but move. A company that don't care that life happens sometimes beyond ppl control. They want they money period.

    They deserve to be shut down. THEY ARE PREDATORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!…read more I forgot to mention something important in my Google review and BBB review: the rent increases. Year after year, my rent kept going up, while the problems with the property and the customer service continued. The price kept increasing, but the quality of service and communication did not. My overall experience with Progress Residential has been extremely frustrating. They are relentless when it comes to collecting money, but when you need someone to actually listen, explain a charge, or work with you, good luck. I am a retired 100% disabled veteran living on a fixed income. My sister, who is active-duty military, was my guarantor because I needed her financial backing to qualify for the home. She has now received orders to relocate overseas. Progress Residential refuses to consider her military orders toward waiving my early termination fee because she is a guarantor and not a resident. Her credit, financial responsibility, and military status were good enough when they needed them to qualify me for the lease, but now her military orders apparently don't matter. I sacrificed my mental health, my body, and my health serving this country. It is extremely disappointing to be treated like nothing more than an account number when I am asking for someone to simply work with me. Now I'm facing an early termination fee equal to two months' rent, approximately $1,000 in utilities, and disputed late fees. My rent has NEVER been late. My utilities have NEVER been late. Yet I am still fighting multiple fees. I was charged $420 for pressure washing after I was already communicating with them and trying to find someone affordable to do it. They sent someone themselves, charged me $420, and then added a late fee. I'm also being charged for future utilities that hadn't occurred and old May charges in August, with another late fee added. Now it is September, my lease has been terminated, and I have utility charges showing up on my account for September. I have already surrendered the property, so I want to know exactly what these charges are for and what dates of service they cover. And the communication is terrible. When they do respond through email or chat, I often receive generic, copy-and-paste responses with no substance, no actual answers, and no real resolution. You can explain your situation repeatedly and still feel like nobody actually read what you wrote. Calls aren't returned, and getting someone to take ownership of an issue is incredibly difficult. For two years, my AC went out multiple times a year with no compensation or apology. The windows are poorly sealed and allow lizards/geckos inside. I've also had to pay for lawn service and was asked to re-sod the lawn. After two years of renting from Progress Residential, my biggest takeaway is that the money matters more than the people. If you're considering renting from them, DOCUMENT EVERYTHING. Save every email, take pictures, keep receipts, and read every line of your lease. I would not recommend Progress Residential.
