I had to pay everything out of my own pocket. I have a full paper trail and phone call logs about every single time I've tried to contact them and never fixed anything. I was living in my house for 3 years with NO LEASE because they would NEVER have anyone send me the paper work to sign and fill it out!! HOW DOSE THAT EVEN HAPPEN?! Britney Covin did NOT want to hear me about anything but wanted 6,000 because they closed down my portal to my rent, didn't want to send my ANY information to have that updated. Best believe I have a great attorney.

I would give 0 stars if I could. We have had bad experiences with realtor companies while leasing…read morebefore, but nothing like what we experienced with Key. Soon after moving in we discovered we had a leak in our roof, which then turned out to be several leaks all over the house. During the 12 month period we rented through them they sent maintenance out probably at least 5 times to "fix" it. It was NEVER corrected. We had asked for them to get professional roofers involved since it wasn't getting fix, it must have been beyond what maintenance could take care of. They sent a company out for a quote but nothing ever came of it. We can only assume they didn't want to spend the money on it. So nearly the entire 12 months we had leaks every time it rained, we had ceiling panels swell up with water, ceiling panels fall to the floor, who knows what growing in the framing, insulation and paneling. The last 3-4 months of the lease I was pregnant, so who knows what my baby and I were exposed to living with that mess!!! Had we been able to find a place we could afford sooner we would have broken our lease and moved early, as we would have had a right to. Sadly that didn't happen, but I am still angry our health and well-being was disregarded by this company. We had other complaints and maintenance requests that were never taken care of either, like a front porch that would swell with rain so the front door could hardly open, and the porch felt like it could collapse at any moment since it was most likely rotting. Bottom line, if you care about your families health and safety, steer clear! They may be nice enough people but they don't run their rental properties worth a damn. I have attached some of the pictures I took of various leaks we dealt with during our lease. There were others, some with ceiling tile falling out, but I don't have all of the pictures saved to my current phone to attach them. Please note, at NO point did the leasing office ever seem to consider this an emergency or a health hazard.

She is a seasoned veteran and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.

Anyone who will listen I have been renting from Gerard real…read moreestate for a year now on May 15 we (the tenant down stairs and I) received a notice of eviction for foreclosure on the property. We are assuming the property owner got a loan on the property and never paid it back. The other tenant and I reached out Monday morning (since we received the notice late Friday evening) and Gerard real estate could give us no answer stating they had no idea that what was going on. We reached out multiple times for the next 10 days with no answer to what's going on other than show up to court on May 27th and find out what happens!! Yesterday we went to court and to much of our NOT surprise we were still given the run around. Melissa and Cyndi stated in court that we would have water and gas until June 2nd (as the water and gas were included in the rent) at which point we or the new owners would have to get the water and gas turned on until we were officially evicted. To add insult to injury Gerard Real Estate left court and with NO WARNING scheduled to have our water and Gas turned off the next day (which is today) it was NEVER RELAYED THAT WE WOULD BE WITHOUT WATER OR GAS AS OF TODAY so the we could immediately reached out to have both utilities turned on. I called today to see if they had actually had the water and gas turned off (since they are doing work in our area) and Melissa stated that yes they had had it turned off when asked why she had never given us a head up that they would be doing so she stated that she told us the day before in court (did not happen) and the proceeds to get very angry and say that I was being rude and disrespectful to her and her office (I was very polite and respectful to her the entire time) I then proceeded to call her boss and he says pretty much that it's no longer his problem and best of luck. We had plenty of problems with this company from things that were never fixed (leaking roof and flooded kitchen) to pest and rodent problems things management dropped the ball on and never resolved I wrote all of this to say Please DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH GERARD REAL ESTATE MELISSA, CYNDI, and MIKE were so very rude un humane and unprofessional with how they managed the situation and problems!!

Never once did they contact me. Finally they said they needed one more week to clean before we could move in. Well when I moved in nothing had been done, no dusting or cleaning of any kind, holes in the walls trash in the yard. Worse thing is the carpets are stained from previous renters and never sent anyone out to attempt to clean them. Disgusted by the condition of the house when we got it and the poor customer service. I feel bad for the owners of this house because it's not being taken care of by the people being paid to take care of it.

But fast forward to move out. We hired a cleaning service to clean the house as we always do when we move because we always have gotten our deposits back this way. Apparently not this time. Shawna, the owner/broker of Red Apple is rude, condescending and extremely unprofessional when it comes to dealing with issues and disputes. It's unfortunate to have someone in charge who is wreckless with their behavior and customs service. Word of mouth travels fast and far however. With enough bad reviews because of her, maybe it'll make a difference or maybe not. But I warn anyone that is considering Red Apple to reconsider. There are plenty of realtors who will appreciate a good tenant who pays on time and often really. I had a friend who experience the same thing and I regret not listening.

I lived in a Cooksey rental property for a year. Before a month into our contract we had informed…read morethem of a LONG list of problems with the property that became apparent upon moving in: broken cabinets, non-functional garage doors, bugs, heavily stained carpets. After 2-3 calls Cooksey did just enough to keep us at bay - sprayed for bugs, sent someone to assess the garage doors (ignored the carpets and cabinets). Upon moving out, Cooksey began to attempt to bill us for things that were never taken care of, and not damaged by us: dirty carpets, garage doors. Overall, the contract with Cooksey was painful and frustrating. Beyond things not getting done, my main frustration was with the way my roommates and I were handled. Never were things taken care of timely or fully. Icing on the cake, VERY rude interactions over the phone and always avoided what was really going on. Don't rent from Cooksey.

I was asking about a rental property and instead of just telling me that they were in the process of fixing it up they went into great detail of everything that was being done and why. Then when I asked about their pet policy they said that they only "do" one pet, and since I had 2 they couldn't help me out, but if I had one they could. Which felt to me like they were implying if I should get rid of a pet I should get back in contact with them. From what I experienced over the phone I am very leery about trusting this company. They might be great to work with, but they seriously need to hire someone who has some better people skills to answer phone calls.
