Come June 1st, i found out Evan and Shana would be my new management. These guys are AWESOME!! With my first management company which was a large company, i had to drop off a check downtown. This is 2018. With Evan, I paid online. So easy! When my unit has had issues, instead of calling someone or a lengthy email, i just use an online portal to submit issues. The responses are super quick- either someone coming to repair or scheduling a repair. I see lots of reviews from the people who hired Evan Howell, they are completely correct with how they treat everyone. If I could do it all over again, I'd look for a rental these guys managed. Or maybe i will have them as my realtor when i decide to buy a home. Either way, I'd like to continue to use their services any way i can.

We rented through this property management company for five years, and during that time they raised…read moreour rent by roughly $100-$200 every single year. As a realtor, I repeatedly questioned the increases because the property simply wasn't worth what they were asking. Eventually, the gap between the rent and the actual market value became too large, so we moved out. Then came the move-out charges. They attempted to bill us for items that were clearly the landlord's responsibility, which felt less like property management and more like a scavenger hunt for extra fees. The best part? It turns out we were right. After we left, the property sat on the market for nearly a year. The rent had to be reduced over and over until it was close to the rate we originally leased it for. That's a long and expensive vacancy to prove a point. If you're a property owner, I'd think twice before taking pricing advice from a company that would rather let a property sit empty for months than admit they overpriced it. If you're a tenant, be prepared for annual rent hikes and a move-out process that may leave you defending charges that shouldn't have been yours in the first place.

We lived there for a total of 3 months I was placed on FMLA with no financials due to my mothers health decline with dementia. She was on home hospice care. We depended at that point on my mother's pension to pay rent. When asking for a couple of days as a grace period to pay the rent which was literally 7 days as my mothers pension came in the second weds of the month this company said no we need to treat everyone equally. By that Tuesday they had filed in the court for eviction adding $500 more to the roster leaving me with a penalty of over $1,200. When reaching out again for help they said no they wanted the entire rent with penalties to stop eviction we had to move out. I had to send my mother to a nursing home yanking her from our side which is only three of us here in Texas my Mother, Son and myself. I had to do estate sales of all my mothers and family's possessions which then in turn move to a one bedroom leaving behind what I had as I had no where to go or store my families belongings. This company ruined me by simply giving me 7 days this could have been avoided. Oh side note they added at the end damages to roof shingles and the roof (in 3 months! Which was added on the move in) There is a special place for companies and its employees that have absolutely no compassion. As my mother has now passed my son and I are starting our new life but I will always remember this experience for the rest of my life. Hopefully in the future they will show a bit more compassion to their tenants as we are humans not just numbers in the books for their clients.

If Bayou City Lux shares reviews internally, this one should also be directed to Ricardo. Every…read moretime I've spoken with him, it seems there is little understanding of the status of our maintenance requests. For example, the company has stated they have a tracking number for the part needed to repair our AC, yet no one can tell us where it is or provide a realistic timeline for when the repair will be completed. Communication has been consistently poor. Calls often go unanswered, and when someone does respond, it feels like no one has the information needed to actually help. As a tenant, it is incredibly frustrating to repeatedly explain the same issues without receiving clear answers or meaningful updates. What has been most disappointing is the lack of empathy. We have been dealing with property damage, concerns about the condition of the home, and the discomfort of living without air conditioning for an extended period. While window units were eventually provided, they have not adequately cooled the home and have instead made the rooms feel even more humid. Throughout this experience, it has felt as though collecting rent is treated as a higher priority than fulfilling the landlord's responsibility to provide a safe, habitable, and properly maintained home. This has been, without question, the worst experience I have had with a property management company or landlord.

He even asked an old client about his experience at a property I was considering.

He took notes on all the properties he called and gave them to me so I would not feel overwhelmed with details.

ULR seems to come highly praised however my personal experience has been quite annoying. I asked an…read moreagent over two years ago to help me look for an apartment within a specific price range. Once I no longer needed his service (I found my own place), he continued to spam my E-mail account with invitations to rental/homebuying events to promote his business. I had to ask him a few times with a call to the office to request this to stop. It started with LinkedIn, and then through other similar social media mediums, then E-mail. Finally the office took care of it and I had to take the extra step to block him. Then, two years later, another agent who connected with me through LinkedIn as well began to do the same practice. In no way did I ever ask to opt-in to any of these invitations. That means I'm on another distribution list that I never agreed to. She is sending Evites--without any opt-out buttons. I had to contact ULR again, and another agent profusely apologized to me. I'm not into this spamming marketing practice because quite honestly, it cheapens a business and creates a desperate image. Do some of these agents like getting cold calls from random numbers themselves and pressured into something they don't need? I don't think any of us do! So it would imply that with common sense, you shouldn't do what you don't enjoy yourself, to people who aren't clearly requesting your service. The agent who helped me get myself removed from a distribution list (again) says that she doesn't practice those methods herself and aren't exemplary of ULR as a whole, but no one seems to be encouraging or reminding other agents to stop the SPAM method. I never experience this when I contact an agent through HAR. Bottom line: I get it, it works once on a blue moon, but if you're about branding yourself as a high quality agent, this spam stuff is not a lot of people's cup of tea. Try this instead, reach out to a potential client directly and ask if they're currently interested in renting/buying or would like to remain in touch in the future if neither are currently an option. Don't force me into your impersonal mass distribution list against my will. Here's the Federal Trade Commmissin FAQ on SPAM stating you must include information on how to opt-out of receiving future E-mail and honor opt-out requests immediately: https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/blogs/business-blog/2015/08/candid-answers-can-spam-questions

Goldnest property management is the absolute best. This is not a small property management group…read morewith a couple employees and a few properties. They are a large organization with a beautiful office in Dallas, fully staffed 24/7 with service professionals that handle every aspect of property management. These guys have tons of properties and they have years and years of experience. They have seen it all and they are more than prepared to handle it all. As a real estate investor living in California with an Air BnB in the DFW area, I am completely hands off. I think of property management in two different categories. 1) Managing the online presence, the rentals and keeping vacancies to a minimum and 2) Managing the house itself. When it comes to the management of the house, I feel like they are taking care of the house as if it were their own. Every aspect of home care is covered from the landscaping to the pool to the appliances and every working piece and part inside the house. All repairs and maintenance is handled by professionals who specialize in the trade and handled immediately. And the house is beyond clean at all times. They also have some cool technology that allows them to monitor the home while not interfering with the privacy of the guests, so the risk of something inappropriate, or worse happening is taken out of the equation. As an investment, under the care of Goldnest, the home gets better all the time and the value of the home continues to grow. As for the rest, and the rest is a lot... Goldnest is extremely impressive. They handle the pictures, the write ups and marketing that goes on all the sites. Goldnest has access to all the sites that matter and they have a young fresh vibe in the way they write up your home and present it on each site. From the minute the guest comes in contact with your home, they are entertained and engaged. Maybe this is why in the "slow season" the house seems to be continuously rented. I don't know how they do it, but they keep vacancies to an absolute minimum. Last, these guys are great at the "Tech". part They have an "owners portal" that makes it so easy as an owner. You can see a calendar of all the rentals and you can see the daily rates for each day. They use a dynamic pricing system that maximizes profits. They have a finance page that breaks down every expense and everything is very transparent. You see what's coming in, all the expenses and have a clear understanding of exactly what you are going to make every month. There are also year to date totals and lots of data and analytics so you can analyze your home's performance in any number of ways. These guys are smart. Very smart. I will say that when I started doing this, I tried to save money by going with a smaller management team. That was a huge mistake. What I was saving in management fees I was more than losing in so many other ways. I now spend a little more to have professional property in Goldnest, and as a result, I am making WAY more than I ever have and more than I even thought was possible. And my home is being maintained to a standard that is higher than I would have if I were living in it. If you are looking for a professional organization that is going to take great care of your home and make you lots of money, your search is over. Goldnest is simply the best.
