I rarely leave negative reviews, but after our experience, I feel it's important to share…read more We rented from this company for eight years. Throughout our tenancy, communication was often poor. It was difficult to get responses when maintenance issues arose, and after moving out, communication regarding our security deposit was also lacking. We asked questions about the deductions and never received complete answers. We worked hard to leave the home in good condition. The house was vacuumed and generally cleaned, and my husband mowed and maintained the yard the day before we moved out. We expected some routine cleaning after eight years, but we were shocked that only about $600 of our approximately $2,000 security deposit was returned. Many of the deductions appeared to us to be for normal wear and tear that naturally occurs after an eight-year tenancy. We were also charged for landscaping even though the yard had been maintained before we turned over possession. Our experience left us feeling that the deposit deductions were unfair and that our concerns were not taken seriously. Because of the lack of communication and how our move-out was handled, we cannot recommend renting from this company. We encourage prospective tenants to thoroughly document the property's condition with photos and videos at both move-in and move-out and to keep records of all maintenance requests and communications.

JFP is a great agency for buying a house In the Richmond area. Our agent, Logan, was great, and the…read moreprocess was seamless. However, (and the reason I'm only putting 4 instead of 5 stars) is that they will try and push you towards their "preferred" businesses for title, warranties, etc. Just be cautious is all I can say. Please don't make the same mistake we did, and do your research into these companies. It's not exactly clear what kind of partnership, agreements, or kick-backs they may be getting for pushing them. The decision is, of course, always up to you as the buyer. Shop around, compare prices, read the small print, and when someone at the agency hands you a paper to sign saying this is our preferred business for x,y, or z, tell them you're going to shop around first. On that note, Cinch home warranty (their "preferred" or "recommended" warranty service) has been an absolute nightmare riddled with incompetence to deal with. A proper review of that scam will be put on their respective sites and the BBB, but for JFP, it should fall on them to recommend the best, not just their partners, especially to new, first-time home buyers. Again, stay far, far, far away from Cinch for your 1st year home warranty.

There were so many hiccups and this company held almost $4000 of my funds in "escrow " due to an erroneous debt less than half that amount from 2012 that was paid off in 2013!!!!!!! They refused to release all of our funds after closing and made it terribly challenging for my husband and I to get our money back even after providing multiple times through emails and and phone calls receipts that the debt was erroneous and had be paid off in FULL 10 years ago! I ended up having to drive almost 2 hours to go in person to their office to speak with someone about the matter. Once I got there, they were very polite and accommodating in refunding our money from closing because they knew that they were dead wrong in how they dealt with our family in such a harsh way. BUT WHY did they put our family through this terrible experience in the first place?! We were told by our Title company that had done what they were supposed to do but Appomattox Title still kept holding our funds unlawfully. Questionable business practices.

We were looking to buy a house around Richmond when we moved from Norfolk and my mortgage company…read moreforwarded my info to these guys since we didn't know anyone in the area. They called LITERALLY (not figuratively, it actually was literally) one minute later to touch base. Greg Middleton is the BEST (literally, not hyperbole) person to go around house hunting with, in my opinion. We averaged 4 houses a day, all around Richmond and its suburbs each time I came up, which is nice because after making a four hour round trip, the last thing you want is someone not willing to spend six hours driving all over the city with you. He also didn't murder me in all those empty houses we were seeing, so that is definitely worth another star in my book. That means I didn't get to murder him either, so minus one star if that is what you are looking for in a realtor. (-1 star: too hard to murder) He is also very prompt responding to the million (okay, that one is an exaggeration) questions I had about buying a home for the first time and clearly knows what he is talking about, so that is pretty awesome. He held my hand through ever step of the process. (Figuratively, not literally, so minus one star if that is what you are looking for in a realtor. -1 star: won't literally hold your hand) Overall, I would definitely use them again and recommend them to everyone. Use Greg for your real estate needs, you probably won't get murdered!
