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!

They are fast to respond to tenants and reliable. This company is also passionate about pet owners and want your pets to be as comfortable as their owners are. I would recommend this company to anyone in the durham area wanting fairly priced housing with the addition of friendly staff. I also will continue doing business with them in the near future.

Stay away from Susan at Bob Schmitz Properties. This is probably the worst experience I've had with…read moreany business. When I expressed concern about a clause in the lease allowing them to enter our home at any time without prior notice, Susan promptly emailed my roommates telling them they needed to find a replacement even though my name was already on the lease, which Susan had previously said was unchangeable because it was a "legal document." (It was still an unsigned legal document!) We finally gave up and signed the lease anyway because there were very few three bedrooms on the market when we needed to move in. However, in February (3 months before the end of our lease), we received an email from Susan's email address (that she now says was sent by someone else) saying there would be some exterior work to our house over the next week. Basically, our lease allows B.S. to do maintenance on our property while we live there in a reasonable time. However, applying plastic siding over wood siding on 3/4 of the house is really more of a renovation than maintenance. Especially, when you wake up to pounding on the outside of your bedroom wall at 7:45 every morning for two and a half weeks. The contractor continually set up his equipment over our path to the car despite the ample yard space to set up and frequently left his drill on the step outside our door. After the siding was done, workers showed up regularly for two more weeks to do "yard work." I'm not sure why it takes two weeks to rake leaves and why you didn't do it until you were getting ready to list the property. After all the leaves have been there since before Thanksgiving. It's so great to finally be able to see the dirt under the leaves, especially now that's it's started raining and turned the dirt to mud. Last week, painters showed up without notice. (Thanks for warning us that people in an unmarked car without uniforms would be showing up at our house less than two weeks after a woman in our neighborhood Additionally, she was culturally insensitive, refusing to pronounce my name correctly. (Sorry I'm not white enough for you Susan.) Also, they kept half of our security deposit claiming that they had to paint the interior after we moved out despite the fact that we didn't paint anything in the place. You might think that we trashed the place or that this was an anomaly but they accidentally sent us someone else's refund, so we know they did it to them as well. If you must rent from them, take pictures when you move in and move out so you can fight them in small claims court.

This the the best group of professional real estate agents in Durham! These folks helped me with…read morethe sale of a very complex property and "went above and beyond the call of duty" to assist with selling my house. They were EXTREMELY knowledgable on market conditions in RDU, have a great network with other realtors, have a slew of handyman/painters/repairmen for any repairs that you may need, and understand "what it takes" to buy or sell a home in this area. They make very expert recommendations, and above all, were very patient and delightful folks to deal with. I had used 3 other realtors before I found Cherry Realty, and was PRETTY FRUSTRATED. But the minute I signed with Cherry, they made recommendations and suggestions the past 3 realtors had never thought of! If you are looking for a professional group of realtors, who will be your best advocate, and represent your property to its fullest potential, call Cherry. Hats off to Lynwood Cherry. The BEST realtor in the RDU area!! Extremely positive experience. Five star all the way!

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!
