Classic Concierge took over the concierge services for my building when it recently changed…read moreownership. I've never met so many of my neighbors waiting in line for the concierge to return to the desk. The line will be more than 6 people deep. This never happened with our old concierge staff! In fact, our previous concierge staff were at the desk far more frequently than the Classic Concierge staff. I've waited more for the concierge to return in the almost 3 months since Classic Concierge took over than I did in the more than 7 years with our old fantastic concierge staff. The desk is vacant far more often than it is actually staffed! This results in having to waste time waiting for package pick-up. It also results in a less secure building because the previous concierge was there more and able to control visitors and delivery people and now the desk is unmanned for long periods at a time. The front desk staff seems to always be on a break no matter what time you try to pick up a package. For example, I'm writing this review while waiting for front desk staff to return from yet another break. The sign said they'd be back at 8:30 pm, but then almost 15 minutes later and still no one is here. When Classic Concierge first took over they failed to give me all of my packages on numerous occasions and it's only when I said I was missing packages and was allowed around back that I found the rest of my packages. The staff also says sometimes they step away to cover when the other building's concierge goes on break so we should look for them next door. However, that makes no sense because it just leaves my building unattended for our concierge's break and then the other person's break so it doubles the time they're away! Also, the staff has told me they're tired or complained about other things when I've gone to pick up a package. I'm sorry to hear you're tired but it's not my fault and I'd like to go home too if I didn't have to spend so much time just trying to pick up my package. The front desk staff not being there has also resulted in the lifeguard having to wait for them to return, as well as people who have to wait to get their IDs back, it's super frustrating to just have to wait for Classic Concierge to come back at some point when you have no idea when that'll be! Unless you want the residents of your building annoyed by the time their wasting for classic concierge to actually be at the concierge desk, I would not recommend this company at all!

I've been living in a building complex using Classic Concierge's service for two years now and am…read morecompletely unimpressed. Some of their staff are quite good, but the vast majority have not. They tend to be barely there and barely paying attention, often slouched in the chairs so low that they can't be seen by people at the door or you can't tell if they're awake. I know that this job can't be exciting, but it does require spending more time paying attention than chatting on the phone. We have a building with fob access and piggy backing is a real concern and issue. The entire purpose of the concierge is to prevent this, and I've seen many times when they don't. We're going to have new owners of the buildings soon and I'm looking forward to this contract ending.

We rented a unit in Parkfairfax managed by this property management company and their "property…read moremanagement" was a disaster. I experienced constant flooding and sewage leaking from the kitchen sinks (yep, 2 sinks), giant sized insects invading our space, decaying floor boards from water damage, 3 years of uninterrupted mold and mildew, the need for a dehumidifier requiring 4 buckets of water to be dumped daily, and the last stray was a bathroom ceiling leaks flooding the unit requiring a 1 month stay in the hotel paid for by my insurance and I still had to pay the rent for my unit. During those 3 years, I suffered terribly from respiratory problems for the first time in my life. No empathy shown by the leasing agent or landlord for the major and myriad inconveniences. Upon returning to the unit in addition to the floor repairs they used substandard contractors to paint the walls. During my stay at the hotel (on my insurance's dime, mind you despite paying the full month's rent DURING it's renovation) I was not notified that the walls would be painted until AFTER the work was done, nor was my artwork removed from the walls prior to painting. The substandard painters merely painted around my artwork. Essentially their substandard painting contractors sealed the damage free adhesive to the walls with the paint making the artwork impossible to remove without damaging the wall. Moreover, the substandard contractors also painted over the back door sealing it shut. Upon move-out, the property management company wanted to penalize me for the damage caused by their own substandard painters shoddy work, since there're still holding on to my security deposit. Avoid renting through this "property management" company at all costs

As a prospective renter, my experience was very poor. The man who showed me the apartment I was…read moreinterested in was very nice, but didn't know much about the property or me (he was waiting in a different unit than the one I wanted to see because he got mixed up). That would have been fine. But what really annoyed me was the application process. The management is not familiar with more modern ways to verify employment and income (such as third party service) and insisted on unredacted pay stubs - which is much less secure. The interaction as we went back and forth was rude and reminded me of scammers trying to get one to divulge information urgently (because so many people are interested in the apartment!) at the cost of better judgement. In trying to get more information from me they cited their "policies" but being unable to articulate why their policy insists on having the information I didn't want to share (like my pre-tax deductions) This conversation was not with some mid-level employee but what seemed to be the owner. I should hope he could articulate the reasoning behind his own policy! To me, this company clearly orients themselves to customer service of property owners, not renters. Which fair enough, but it doesn't mean I have to like it. To the reader/renter: Don't let these people bully you!

Prompt responses to emails, quick answers to phone calls, transparent updates throughout the process, and even reassurances to call you back if they are tied up at the moment (and they actually call back as soon as they can!) Since my roommates and I are all out of town at the moment, and unable to tour the property in person prior to signing the lease agreement, Hanna assured me that her assistant Johnny would send me a video tour the following day. And sure enough, the next day - Johnny had a detailed video tour of the home in my inbox. Any question I had about the property, Johnny was able to answer. We so look forward to working with Hanna and her team during the duration of our lease agreement. If the last week is any indication of how our experiences will be as Rent the District tenants, I very much look forward to staying at this property. Hanna and Johnny were both very friendly, and professional. I will recommend Rent the District to any of my friends who look to rent or have property management services in DC. Thank you again!

I found that. The application process was seamless. I was approved quickly and the transition was smooth. I had my keys and access to the unit quickly. The last few years have been amazing.

John even came over and replaced the batteries on the smoke detector when I couldn't figure out which one was low and the beeping wouldn't stop. Our microwave broke and I messaged John and it was replaced within a few days. In my experience Scout Properties is a great property management company. They are reliable, responsive, nice human beings. It was a pleasure to have our home manager by this company. John's the best!

When we first started with Scout Properties, things were great. Our first manager, Nick, was…read moreprofessional and easy to reach. But after Victor took over, everything went downhill fast. I'm not sure Victor ever really knew who we were and I can't be sure he ever visited the apartment before things really went to crap. He completely missed a major toilet leak--even after the tenant moved out--which left us with a cumulative $5,773.14 water bill. Then Scout didn't handle the tenant's voucher renewal properly, with no warning to us, which made the tenant move out early and cost us rental income. Even worse, we've now been stuck for several months without a tenant and have had to cover all the turnover costs ourselves. Despite that, Scout still charged their full management fees while barely responding to us. All of a sudden, Scout dropped us as clients (including our neighbors who were clients also), kept the fees, and stopped returning calls. Our next‑door neighbors had the same experience -- and told us their tenant was even offered an apartment at another property managed by Scout. Everything started fine but turned into one expensive, stressful mess. Don't hire Scout Properties unless you want poor communication, big bills, and months of lost rent.

At move-out, we were charged $350 to replace a washer seal -- not the washer itself, just the…read morerubber gasket. They claimed it "couldn't be cleaned," but when we asked for proof of any cleaning attempts, they provided none. The only thing they sent was an invoice for the replacement -- no documentation of damage, no service report, and no photos from before or after. To make matters worse, there were no move-in photos to show that the washer seal was ever clean in the first place. That's a big red flag. According to Virginia law, tenants have the right to an itemized list or receipts for any deductions from their security deposit. What we received barely met that standard and felt like an attempt to quietly pass repair costs onto us. Charging nearly half the price of a new washer for a single part, with zero transparency, is not how treat good, hardworking tenants. Certainly seems like it would be a major repair. It's frustrating, and sadly, not uncommon. I have read far too many reviews where this kind of thing happens. If you find yourself in a situation like this, it may be worth exploring your options -- including small claims court. Tenants have rights, and you deserve to be treated with fairness.

Upon meeting Dan, his knowledge of the orange-line housing market was very impressive. This guy lives in the neighborhood and certainly knows the comps. In an era of multiple bids, Dan helped us realize that beyond just throwing money at a new home, there are others ways to write a very competitive offer. Additionally, Dan was also able to get us several viewings of townhomes before they came on the market - something I think gave him a huge edge over other realtors in the area. Because of the shortage of inventory (especially townhomes) in Arlington County, this makes all the difference in the world. Dan also offers a "one-percent off" for buyers guarantee (check out his website) which we thought was a great touch. Throughout the whole process, Dan was extremely responsive (which is very important to a first-time home buyer) - even helping us through a mortgage crisis while he was on his honeymoon. In the end, we couldn't be happier with our new home. And we'll certainly be contacting Dan and his team down the road when we start thinking about selling :) BONUS: "Orange-line living open house" sign twirlers by the Clarendon metro.
