When something needed to be done they were pretty good at coming to fix it. Nothing major ever needed to be done though. However, this is why I give them a 1. When we left the 1st rental, the house was spotless! I did know they would charge for paint in my daughter's room and molding around the door. One of my dogs had chewed on it when my daughter accidentally locked her in the room. I expected that. However, they charged for painting the living room and the kitchen, which we didn't hang anything with nails, there was no reason they would've needed to paint. The cleaning list from the maintenance and cleaning company was six pages of BS! Ridiculous things, like replacing the covers that go over the outlets (some of them were missing when we moved in, however, I didn't think a big deal because we replaced them for like $.20) stains on the flooring that were there prior, removing cupboard paper that I used to cover the horrible cabinets, debris on the hardwood floors, which was brought in from maintenance crews. I know because I had a video showing exactly how the floors looked when we left and they were absolutely clean. We swept and mopped them, supposedly there was hair in the bathtubs, thankfully I had pictures showing the clean tubs. The blinds that they had in the house were the skinny ones that are the cheapest ones you can purchase at Walmart or Home Depot. After 18 months, the sun had beat on them and some of them had cracked. They charged me for those. However, I didn't get a credit for the four that we put in the sunroom that were not the cheap ones. We paid over $250 for them. However, when I mentioned a credit that was just ignored. Long story short, they charged us for things that were pre-existing and the cleaning fee was just ridiculous because I took a video and took pictures of before, and after. I will post some below. They kept my whole deposit, plus tried to charge me additional fees when I should've at least got half my deposit back. Since our next home would not be ready for three months, and prior to the dilemma of getting our first deposit back , we rented an Airbnb for three months through them. We were told that we didn't have to clean the Airbnb because we had to pay a $500 nonrefundable deep cleaning fee . We also had to pay 2 nonrefundable pet deposits, which should have covered the molding around my daughter's door, that my dog chewed up. When we left the Airbnb, they charged an additional $340 for some type of cleaning, which they didn't even state what it was for and a $74.80 administration fee. PSA ... You will not get any of your deposits back. They charge you for things that should be normal wear and tear. SOME ADVICE ...TAKE DETAILED PICTURES BEFORE YOU MOVE IN AND AFTER YOU MOVE OUT! MAKE SURE YOU FILL OUT THE PAPER THEY GIVE YOU WHEN YOU MOVE IN AND MARK EVERY SINGLE THING THAT IS WRONG!

Then they will harass you the full time you are there, inspection every 3 months, owners and co-owners coming and going all the time blocking your car in filling up your trash bin with their own stuff. Calling questioning what the neighbors are doing etc. Very unprofessional. When you have to put in a service request of a leak and they turn your water off during a holiday for 3-4 days with no water at all, and you request to be moved or provided an accommodation and only get ignored. And because it took so long to have the leak temporarily patched, (over a month) mold grew in between the walls, and the walls started separating and showing mold through to the other side in some places. After a patch was place to cover the leak, nothing was done to rectify the damage of the water that had already been sitting in the walls and floor. Once I was finally able to aquire a new place and move, the company is trying to charge for damage to the floor, windows, walls, etc due to water damage sustained from faulty maintenance. A mop will not clean mold that is growing under the floor. And a cleaning fee for a microwave and fridge from 1997. Neither of which are safe to be using any longer. But both of which were left cleaner than received. There are burns on the back of the fridge and the wall, not from tenant misuse, b/c appliance from 1997 should not still be in use. Epitomizes SLUMLOARD!!!

So, if you rent to a pet owner and normally charge $100 per month for a pet, they keep $1200 per year. If there is no damage, they win, you lose. Loss can be subjective, so If there is a smell of pee, or some small scratches on furniture or a door, or hair in the rugs that didn't come out, or other "GREY AREA" of dispute - expect to get nothing. I tried to eliminate this clause, but they won't have it.

As a military family, we have relocated frequently due to PCS orders. Fortunately, we have been able to retain the homes we purchased and lived in at several duty stations. These properties are not simply "investments" to us--they are homes we have personally lived in and continue to care deeply about. Hahle currently manages two long-term rental properties for us in Wilmington and provides a level of care and attention to detail that mirrors that of a dedicated homeowner. Hahle is the consummate professional--highly responsive, knowledgeable, and proactive. Her guidance is consistently timely and well-informed. Through SPM's professional marketing and screening process, she has secured reliable, trustworthy tenants for our properties time and again. SPM maintains a structured, preventative approach to property management. They conduct regularly scheduled walk-through inspections and provide detailed reports that keep us informed of any emerging concerns, allowing us to address issues before they escalate. They coordinate biannual HVAC inspections and routine maintenance, manage repairs of all sizes, and have capably supported us through property needs following hurricane events. This proactive model benefits both homeowner and tenant by ensuring systems and appliances remain well maintained and up to date. Additionally, SPM handles vendor coordination, consistently sourcing reputable professionals who perform quality work at fair and reasonable prices. We recently encountered a unique situation with one of our properties, and to say that Hahle went above and beyond in supporting us would be an understatement. We cannot recommend SPM and Hahle Kirkland highly enough for their professionalism, expertise, and exceptional customer service.

Whenever I have a question, the response rate is very fast and many times, immediate.
