We bought an investment property in GA with James in 2018 and sold it in 2022. He was also our…read moreproperty manager during that time. He came recommended to us by a friend who had also bought investment properties with him and our purchase and subsequent sale was smooth. He found us a buyer while it was still tenant occupied. During the 4 years we held the property, and compared with other property managers, we didn't feel that his services were worth his fee. We opted for the hybrid fee model yet we ended up doing most of the communicating with the HOA and the renter ourselves. At the end of the day, his relationships are with the sales people of the builders, and once they transition to the community's HOA, James had no contacts and just told us to handle ourselves. We felt that we should've gotten higher rent for the property and better tenants. The first tenant he found wanted to break the lease and James didn't really know how to handle that other than to talk to the tenant. As a lawyer myself and from experience, I knew how to take legal action and drafted the proper paperwork myself. The second tenant he found was fine except he kept contacting me directly because he said James wasn't handling his concerns. Tenant eventually asked me to just renew his lease without James because it was easier that way. Since neither landlord nor tenant felt properly taken care of, we just decided to offload the property and exit the GA market altogether. Chalk it up to lesson learned and to stick to the market that we know personally. Furthermore, he left my phone # on GA public records even after our sale so I get calls and letters weekly from GA flippers looking to buy the property we no longer own. Fun. Lastly, he kept asking me to write a positive review for him on BiggerPockets while he had only just started managing our property. Didn't make sense to me as his job had only just begun and anything could still happen (and did). So I'm now writing an honest and non-emotional review 5 yrs later to present the full set of facts. Cross-posted on Zillow and Google.

I have worked with James on many occasions and he always exceeded my expectations…read more His expertise and knowledge of the market is second to none He helped me to buy several rental properties and find great tenants for it. Recently he helped me to refinance my home as well as James also owns a mortgage company. James had everything done extremely fast and we closed in 2 weeks. The one things I really like about James and the reason he is the one who manages my rental properties is that he has extensive experience and an extremely thorough tenant screening process related to income and credit qualifications, This enables him to find good reliable tenants. All my tenants that James worked with speak highly of him as well. I recommend James for any of your real estate needs including financing.

My husband and I recently sold an investment property in Alpharetta, and choosing Katie Gardner as…read moreour Realtor was one of the best decisions we made. As out-of-state investors living more than 3,000 miles away, we faced a unique challenge: we had never even been inside the property. We needed someone we could trust to represent our interests locally and manage every aspect of the sale. Within five minutes of our first interview, I knew Katie was the right person for the job. She delivered on every promise she made, and then some. Katie's market knowledge was exceptional. She advised us on exactly which improvements would make sense in the current market and which ones would not. She coordinated contractors, managed access to the property, oversaw repairs, flooring, painting, and cleaning, and handled countless details that would have been difficult for us to manage remotely. What impressed us most was her ability to anticipate issues before they became problems. She worked seamlessly with the tenants prior to their departure, coordinated effectively with the property management company, and consistently stayed ahead of potential obstacles. Because of her attention to detail and proactive approach, the entire process felt remarkably smooth. Her communication was phenomenal. We always knew what was happening, what decisions needed to be made, and what to expect next. We never felt out of the loop despite being thousands of miles away. Katie is also an outstanding negotiator. She handled both pricing strategy and buyer concessions expertly, helping us secure better terms than we expected. Her recommendations on preparing and positioning the property helped it sell faster than the average property in the market, while still achieving a strong outcome. Most importantly, we genuinely enjoyed every step of the transaction because of Katie. She made what could have been a stressful and complicated process feel straightforward and manageable. We have zero regrets about choosing Katie. In fact, we were so impressed with her professionalism, expertise, communication, and execution that we would go out of our way to refer her to friends, family, or anyone looking to buy or sell property in the Alpharetta area. If we ever have another real estate need in North Atlanta, Katie will be our first call.

I was looking for an agent to sell our condo in Atlanta. I used Yelp for this, and specified that I…read morewant an African American woman to be my agent. Candace was one of the ones who responded. She has a lot of great reviews, and I do not mean to detract from that. I wish her the best, but at the same time, I thought that, in all fairness, I need to tell of my experience. My own take is that she was usually a step slower than others to respond. And while everyone else went to look at the condo before getting back to me, she didn't. Both of these may be on account of the fact that she holds down a different day job. Perhaps she has an assistant or two at her disposal, but I'm skeptical that she would be able to provide the attention that I would have needed. Others who had a good experience with her - good for you. I decided to go a different way.
