Bay Property Management Group Washington, D.C.: what do users think?
William Paulemon: It has been incredibly smooth process with Sean Donohue from Bay Management for tenant moving in. He was very courteous and was quick with communications and response. This has been the best part of my experience. It makes up for what I went through to get the place ready for Sean. I ended up working on turning over the property on my own which took a long time. It was great working with Sean. I will do it again on the next opportunity.
Response: Renting out a home involves so many moving parts, and we are happy to hear that Sean communicated effectively and provided top-notch customer service. Thank you for sharing your experience, William!
Tim and Cindy Jacobson: I’ve been working with Sean Donahue for the last month or so after listing my house for sale, knowing we would rent our multi family units if they didn’t sell at a decent price. Sean was patient throughout the process and answered every question in a very timely fashion, including weekends. Based on my interaction with Sean, I expect Bay Property manage my multi family unit property professionally, interacting with both the tenants and us as owners in a very responsive fashion.
Response: Thank you for sharing your experience, Tim and Cindy! We are happy to hear that Sean has provided such excellent customer service. Our dedicated team of industry professionals is here to help navigate any situation that may arise with your rental investment and we appreciate your kind words.
Pearly Kamachi: Sean Donohue, Director of Business Development - DC/Virginia, was amazing to work with. When we found the home that would work for our family he was quick to respond and helped us in finalizing everything. He’s responsive, informative, great communication and just great professionalism all around. We are so grateful for all his help during this transition for our family!
Response: Communication and responsiveness are key when trying to secure a rental property. It is great to hear that Sean's customer service exceeded expectations. Thank you for the review, Pearly!
Larry Hankins: Sean and Taylor have been a great help. Always responded in a timely fashion. Plus went above and beyond to make my families move as smooth as possible. Would absolutely recommend. Also the bay property mgmt maintenance team is very professional and fast anytime we have a request.
Response: Thank you for sharing your experience, Larry! Our team is committed to providing efficient and comprehensive service to all of our clients.
Christine Tran: Wynn was great to work with for the onboarding process with Bay Property Management Group. He was super helpful with answering my questions and making notes of the details of the house that I had pointed out. Wynn's flexibility with scheduling our first meeting, the inspection, and coordinating with my tenants has been wonderful.
Response: Hi Christine, onboarding is a critical time in the rental process, and we are glad to hear that Wynn was able to handle all of your concerns efficiently. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience!
Bette Belle: We recently signed with BMG. Sean Donohue has been an absolute pleasure to work with! Never having a property under management before, we had a wealth of questions, from big to small, and Sean answered them all. He was extremely knowledgeable and responsive and helped us in so many ways. It made the decision to use BMG easy and we look forward to a long and prosperous relationship!
Response: Thank you for sharing your experience, Bette! We are happy to hear that Sean exemplified the high level of customer service we are committed to providing all of our clients.
Kyle Stumpf: Throughout the onboarding process, Sean Donohue, Director of Business Development - DC and Virginia, has been exceedingly informed, considerate, and responsive. He has answered all of my many questions, assisting me in better understanding the procedure and completing the paperwork. He has contacted me on occasion to keep the conversation going without being pushy or confrontational. If my future interaction with Bay Property Management professionals is of similar standard, I anticipate a long and fruitful working relationship with the firm.
Response: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, Kyle! The onboarding process can be complex, and it is wonderful to hear that Sean helped make that a smooth transition. We look forward to continuing to work with you in the future.
Chili Cat: Sean Donohue, Director of Business Development – DC and Virginia, has been very informative, considerate and responsive throughout the onboarding process.

Response: Hi and thank you for the positive feedback! Our business development team is here to walk you through the onboarding process and keep you informed along the way!
Kirsten Moreau: We have really appreciated Wynn Geis' excellent communication and responsiveness as we've on-boarded with BPM. He took the time to go over our historic property multiple times in detail, and he was incredibly patient with all of our questions and concerns, for which he quickly found options and solutions that met our needs. We've also had great interactions with Gloria Tarsia-Kaloz, our property manager, and Shannon Rigney, the leasing director, with whom we look forward to working on the next stage of leasing our property. Thank you all!
Response: Thank you for the 5-star review and for sharing your feedback, Kristen. Onboarding is a critical time where we like to gather as much information as possible to best assist through the rental process. It is great to hear that Wynn and the rest of the team have exceeded your expectations.
See Tjhiong Gho: We recently signed a Property Management contract with Bay Property Management Group to take over the management of our properties in Northern VA. We worked closely with Wynn Geis, the Director of Business Development Northern VA, during this transition process. Wynn consistently exceeded our expectations in all instances. One thing that set him apart was his willingness to see things from others' point of view thus connection and trust were established immediately. The way he responded to our emails and resolved issues gave us confidence that Bay PMG is the company we want to work with thus we made our decision without even going through the three interviews we had previously planned. We have full confidence with Bay PMG and we look forward to a fruitful working relationship with the team for many years to come.
Response: Thank you for sharing your experience and for highlighting Wynn's commitment to providing the best customer service to our clients. We look forward to helping you with your rental investment for many years to come.

Columbia Property Management: what do users think?
Charlie Smith: Professional, highly responsive, and a pleasure to rent from! Columbia Property Management were professional and transparent from the first tour of the apartment, providing a smooth and responsive experience through negotiating the lease, moving in, and beyond! The digital infrastructure they have set up for managing payments and work requests is easy-to-use, reliable, and fast; initial replies to work requests for our apartment always came back in 24 hours or less! When all else fails, their office team is prompt and friendly in responding to emails.
Response: Thank you, Charlie. It is good to hear when we've delivered on what we strive to do every day for others.
Gapilan Sivasithamparam: As a prospective renter, I was very excited to tour one of the properties managed by CPM. At first, they were responsive and helpful for setting up the tour, responded quickly when I submitted my application for the lease, and were generally helpful throughout the application process. However, the reason I am giving them two stars is because after not being chosen for the rental property (unfortunate but it happens, not a big deal), I have had a ton of trouble trying to get back the cashiers check I had to give them for the first months rent as a part of the application process. I understand wanting to guarantee a future renter can pay, but the unresponsiveness and difficulty I've had trying to get it back is completely unacceptable considering I'm not even working with them. After multiple emails and calls, I finally heard back from someone who wasn't involved on the team but offered to help me out, but I will gladly not rent from them or work with them in the future.
Response: We never like for someone to have a negative experience and certainly do not hold onto funds that are not ours. I do feel context and complete information is helpful for readers to decide on their own. Gapilan was informed Thursday morning by our Leasing Specialist that another party was selected and we were sending that a party a lease to sign and he was back-up if they did not sign it. On Monday morning he emailed CPM asking for an update and did not get a reply that the lease had been signed over the weekend. We sincerely regret that he did not get a reply within 24 hours. He wrote to CPM again Tuesday morning and then called into the office and spoke directly with our office administrator regarding the logistics of returning his check. This is a full time staff member, not someone "not involved on the team". This all occurred before Noon on Tuesday and apparently before he wrote this review.
Nilufer Gadgieva: Partner and I checked out a place for rent, a microscopic studio worth 1400, with a reputable agent from the management who was sent to guide us and show us around. We were looking for a 6-month lease, and were assured SEVERAL TIMES that this particular studio would be available for that time period. He even double checked with the landlord and let us know we were good to go. Agent sent us a link to the application form, which charged the two of us $100 in total. 10 days later, we get no response, and proceeded to call the management, only to be told that the studio will not be given to us for 6-months. In short, we wasted a solid 10 days, and a $100, on very poor miscommunication. We did not get our money back.
Response: Nilufer is correct. In summer of 2021 (over six months before this review) they were interested in a small studio apartment very near the school they came to DC to attend. The unit was priced slightly under the market. Unfortunately, the showing agent made promises that were not consistent with the rental ad which stated "Prefer a longer term lease to end no later than June 30, 2022". If he did check with our office about a shorter term lease, at best he got a response that we would check with the owner of the condo unit. We did check with the owner of the unit who did not want us to rent it only for six months. She asked us to continue looking for other applicants. I replied via email the day prior to the application asking if they could be prepared to find a replacement at six months for the remainder of a longer term lease because we would not be able to provide them with a six month lease. They both applied to rent anyway and wanted to move in right away. Our policy is that rental application fees are non-refundable which is posted on our website which details the rental applications instructions and process. We are fully transparent about this. During the ten days of the rental application there was regular email and phone contact to collect all of the information from them that we needed so that we could get their application past the minimum requirements we have for them to qualify to rent the unit. We had to ask multiple times for documentation that would demonstrate adequate income or assets to be able to cover the rent, utilities, and living expenses to be sure they had adequate funds. In the end, CPM offered the unit to them for rent on a longer term lease. They stopped communicating with our office. Six months later they wrote a negative review about the experience. I regret they had this experience. We strive to be accurate in fair in all our dealings and if there is a glitch, we try to work out solutions, if the other is a willing party.
Lucy Mugford: The team at Columbia Property Management is very easy to work with and have great communication. Teasa took time to walk us through things and answer any questions, and Scott went out of his way to meet us to drop off our security deposit. We are grateful to be working with them at our new rental!
Max Milder: Cannot recommend this company. From the reviews, it's clear they do their best to protect property owners, but unfortunately that comes at the expense of preying on tenants who may not know their rights. Columbia took over management of our apartment after we had been there for some time, and immediately we saw signs of this predatory behavior. (This in no way is a reflection of our contact Teasa, who migrated to Columbia and was always responsive and up-front). 1. Columbia refused to provide official documentation of the management transition. Despite my efforts to proactively confirm before rent was due, I was met with responses that "I do not have a right to see that confidential information" and threatening us for non-payment of rent. Rather than communicate, their accountant jumped immediately to threats of eviction. 2. We provided 30 days notice to move out, at which point we received confirmation from Columbia. About a week later, the owner claimed our lease had auto-renewed, and we would not be released from payment of rent. When we responded that auto-renewal of leases is not legal or enforceable in DC (and linked to the requisite DC code), we were simply met with silence, rather than a clarification. Again, clearly an attempt to take advantage of those without knowledge of their rights. 3. Despite turning over the unit in good condition, Columbia took more than 45 days to return the deposit. When I reached out to inquire about the status, the deposit return was processed almost immediately, indicating they were sitting on the money and hoping I didn't come back for it. Simply put, not a business run with integrity.
Response: I regret that Max had a negative experience and understand his frustration with these situations. While it is true we represent the property owners, residents in our managed properties are also our clients and we strive to provide good service for them. Max seems to question our integrity or that we "prey" on tenants because CPM stood up for the owner’s rights to ensure they were not taken advantage by a tenant. The security deposit issue was a clerical error and as Max stated, we returned it right away when he notified us he had not received it. I don’t know why he guesses our motives in his review. We do not operate that way and it is unlawful. Last year Max was notified by the prior management company and by CPM that CPM was taking over the account as the new owner’s agent. In order to pay his rent the next month to CPM, he demanded proprietary documents between the owners and the company. We determined he did not have a credible concern that CPM was not legitimately taking over the account. He received standard language stating we would take legal action if needed to collect his rent after he threatened to not pay rent unless CPM could “prove” that we were the new agent for the owner of the property. As Max reports, we took over the account for the rental apartment where he was living as well as the lease from another company. When Max objected to a specific clause in that lease we were attempting to enforce for the owner, I had it investigated by our landlord tenant attorney. Once we got clarification to substantiate Max’s claim, we dropped the matter and he was permitted to vacate as requested.
Cornelia Baciu: Profesional, responsive, good value! I rented an apartment with CPM for eleven months in Washington DC. Perfect location, in Foggy Bottom, near Potomac River Walking Path and a few bloks away from the White House. I moved to DC from Europe and I was extremely excited to be able to move in the apartment just two or three days after applying - so quick!. Everything was excellent during the entire stay in the apartment. Scott Blum and his team were very responsive. I was extremely happy that I was able to extend the rent for another month, as I was not able to move out at the date scheduled originally -- given that my return flight to Europe was cancelled at short notice due to Covid-19. This meant a lot to me. Overall, five stars, I recommend this company!
Kyle Gaffney: I downgrade from three stars. They couldn't fix our ongoing bathroom issue (for months) and we later found out didn't have ANY copy of our lease that they acquired from our previous landlord (aka just assuming things about our rent and lease). Pretty much any issue we had, they wouldn't respond or respond poorly, and only contact us when looking to get something from us. Based on the other negative replies here, I can expect a response from CPM on par with my experiences.
Response: I've responded to Kyle directly to clear up some misunderstandings as well as information he had that was not correct when he posted the review, including assumptions of information we received from the prior management company for that the information we had was incomplete. We regret that he had a negative experience and are making improvements to avoid similar issues in the future.
Christopher Purdy: I have been working with CPM as a landlord for more than 10 years. Scott and his team are exceptional and try to do their best for both landlords and tenants. My experience has been that they work hard to resolve issues, deliver value for landlords, and find ways to be caring and responsive to tenants. I would highly recommend this group if you are a landlord.
Robert “Bo” Stearman: Hello, I wanted to write a review of Columbia Property Management. We have been tenants at one of their properties for the past 5 years and I have nothing but positive things to say. I will just give you a snippet of the good things that have happened. One week after our newborn was brought home our fridge would not close and seal; on a Sunday night they sent over a technician who fixed it immediately. Over the summer our air conditioner was leaking (this was during 100+ heat indices), again on a weekend, they sent a technician over who was professional and fixed our problem immediately. Every time we have had an issue or a question about our lease or what to do they have been responsive and professional. It has been such a pleasure to have been a tenant at the property and I would highly recommend this property management company!
Jaehyang So: Scott and his team have done an excellent job managing my house. During the recent COVID related times, they also shared comprehensive information regarding rentals and contracts. The team has my confidence that they are on top of the situation.

Washington Property Group: what do users think?
A Gkedze: A friend recommended we use the Washington Property Group for our property in Northern Virginia. I couldn't be more impressed by the professionalism and attention to detail shown by Donika and her colleague Ted throughout the process of listing our property and eventually finding tenants, all within 30 days. Five stars all the way! I was initially impressed by Donika's punctuality: we agreed to meet for our initial consultation at 2PM and she arrived 5 minutes prior - details matter! This quickly set the tone for the level of professionalism and follow-through I've come to expect from WPG. Donika led a team of renovators who professionally prepped and cleaned the property, took professional pictures, staged, listed and showed the property to prospective clients. Following our initial consultation, Donika conducted a market analysis and recommended pricing to reflect current housing snd market trends. Of course, any property management company can perform these tasks, but WPG stands out for the soundness of their advice, the quality of their work (kudos to the photographer) and outstanding communication. I previously used another property management company for the same property several years ago. I therefore have a good baseline of what to expect from a property management company. WPG has surpassed my expectations every step of the way; I enthusiastically recommend them and I'm glad to be their client.
Orna Ernst: We had a really good experience renting through WPG. Elena was always helpful and made sure we get a fast, professional and friendly response.
Angela Sepetlieva: We are Angela and Mihail Timchevi and back in January 2020 we needed to rent our house in Reston, VA. We turned to Angel and Donika from the Washington Property Group. Our experience shows that both Angel and Donika are handling their business very professionally. They were quick to return calls and emails; also they were available to discuss with us different rental options until we decided on the best one. Before renting - they handled basement renovation project which turned out beautifully and they helped with fixing many other things around the house. The house is rented for 4 months now and they manage the property. Thank you! We appreciate your help. Mihail & Angela Timchevi 1670 Wainwright Dr. Reston, VA 20190
Response: Dear Angela, thank you so much for the acknowledgment and the kind words! It is such a pleasure working with you and taking care of all your real estate needs! Your investment is treated as if it is our own and you can trust we will continue to deliver the same outstanding results in the future! We are here for you at anytime!
Borislava Krumova: Washington Property Group have managed my rental town house in Southern Maryland for several years now. I count on them for getting in rented, taking care of whatever problems arise, and for the maintenance needed. They are also reliable about sending me accounting papers giving information about costs of services and about rent received and then mailing me a monthly check. I would certainly recommend them as honest and dependable property management group. In addition to quality services, their management and maintenance costs are quite reasonable. Overall I have been very pleased with our partnership with Washington Property Group and would recommend them to anyone that is seeking a well organized and professional team.
Response: Borislava, thank you so much for your committed business with us and for your valuable feedback! Our team is thrilled to hear that we were able to take all property management related worries off your plate, and let you do what you do best, while we do what we do best! Delivering results to our clients has always been our main goal and we thank you for the trust and the opportunity to do that for your investment too!
Michelle Ward: Having been a homeowner for 30 years I was not looking forward to renting. I was lucky enough to have rented from Washington Property Group. They are very professional and responsive. My property manager, Iva was always there to work with me and resolve any issue. Dylan, in maintenance, was great. He was efficient and friendly. Also had the pleasure of working with Ted when I moved out. I recommend Washington Property Group. They are professional and personable. As a renter it's nice to feel as though you are working together. Thank you again
Response: Dear Michelle! We appreciate your business and are happy to hear that you had such a great experience interacting with our team! Thank you for sharing your positive feedback!
Svilen Tsankov: My wife and I have two rental properties managed by Washington Property Group. We have been very impressed with the professionalism and friendliness of the team, who were extremely caring and helpful, making us feel relaxed and confident in their abilities. They have found us fantastic tenants, who met all of our requirements. It is reassuring to know that our rental property is being managed and cared for with the same level of pride which we ourselves would give. I highly recommend Washington Property Group.
Response: Svilen, thank you so much for the great review. You and Bobby have always been a pleasure to work with! You simply told us your goals and desired outcome, and then you let us use our deep knowledge and expertise to achieve those! We appreciate the opportunity and are looking forward to working together on your future plans of growing the portfolio!
Cherise Nuckols: A trusted partnership with WPG, specifically with Elena. She has gone above and beyond for my real estate needs as a property manager, often working extremely early hours. What can sometimes be a stressful experience, she is clearly passionate about the job and has been reassuring and very effective for me. Elena is always responsive, professional and an absolute joy to work with.
Dimitar Ivanov: I have been with Washington Property Group for over two years now. Throughout this time they have gone above and beyond to keep me and my tenants happy. They have resolved every single issue that has come up, in a very quick and professional manner. They are extremely dedicated to their work and to their customers. Not sure where I would be without them. Highly recommended.
Response: Dear Dimitar, our team is so pleased with your wonderful 5-star review! Thank you for placing your trust in us and providing us with the opportunity to serve you throughout the years and grow together! You can count on our continuous dedication and commitment in future!
Andon Tsarev: WPG was recommended to me 6 years ago when I was relocating to Europe. Throughout the years they have been a true partner and produced consistent and positive results for my investment property in MD. They maintained 100% occupancy since i hired them which is one of the main reasons why I would recommend them without reservations. They were also a great help with protecting my property by performing regular inspections and were able to provide reliable and cost effective maintenance when needed. As an absent owner i am very grateful to have WPG in my corner!
Response: We truly appreciate your business Andon and we're grateful for the opportunity to provide you and your tenants with the highest quality services you deserve! Being an absent owner is challenging, but you can confidently count us to take care of your investment, as if it is our own! We hope to continue doing successful business together for many years to come!
Brandy Johnson: We have been renting a house from Washington Property Group since 2017 and they have been absolutely wonderful! We were able to view the property and being renting in almost a week! If anything goes wrong, our property manager, Donika, was always on top of it making sure that everything was fixed in a timely manner and followed up to make sure that the work was completed correctly! She is a true professional! If you are looking for a great management company, look no further! We will definitely refer Washington Property Group to everyone that we know!

O.S.I. Management Inc.: what do users think?
Mychelle Williams: I have been utilizing this space since August. All the staff are friendly and very helpful. The free coffee and tea and waiting room really enhance my experience. The location and rate for rental literally cannot be beat and trust me I have looked. I just wish that we had our own parking garage or discounted garage.
Brian Mulholland: Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, ValueWe have been with OSI Offices since 2015 and have been very pleased. Great location and wonderful staff, headed by Mumbi Thande. Our Foundation appreciates all the courtesies and consideration afforded us as a non profit organization serving the working poor of the District of Columbia.
Bluegreen J: OSI is great if you are looking for flexible office space. Can't beat the location, office options and cost. Depending on your needs, they have a variety of office set-ups and sizes. You can also book larger conference rooms. Due to the nature of my work, I like having the flexibility of booking a room when I need it. I use it to meet with clients and to get administrative/paper work completed without interruptions. The management is wonderful to work with-- they are accommodating, flexible and care about their clients (and that's hard to find in this day and age). I highly recommend OSI if you are looking for flexible or temporary office space.
Light Warrior 2.0: Saffold & Associates has been a long time (10+ years) and loyal customer of OSI. The virtual office model was great while we were building the business and clientele. Once we outgrew the virtual office model we decided to rent full time offices on the 1629 K Street 3rd floor suite. The offices are well-maintained and cleaned daily with a professional cleaning service. The ladies at the front desk make our client feel welcome and are excellent at receiving evidence and payments from clients. Finally, the location (Farragut Square) and amenities (high-speed printer/copier/internet) cannot be beat!
Christina Moynihan: OSI has been instrumental in growing my business from a few evening a week to a full time thriving practice. The front desk is approachable and helpful, always willing to help me when I need some administrative support. Mumbi, the office manager, is a joy. She has consistently been attentive to the needs of my practice and invested in helping me establish systems that keep my business working seamlessly. The variety of services OSI has offered me has been invaluable. The office suite is safe and secured at all times of the day, mail is delivered in a timely fashion, and my account is charged automatically on a monthly basis. Even when I am out of the office, I am notified when a package arrives for me. As a sole proprietor, I lack the luxury and assistance of an HR department, IT team, and an administrative specialist. Mumbi, Joseph, Jack, and the front desk have all stepped up at various times over the past two years to ensure I have an office space that works on behalf of me and the people I serve.
Kiki Strickland: I LOVE my office at OSI. I visited a few other places like Regus before I made my decision to go with OSI and I am so happy with my choice. Having the K Street address is priceless. The location is convenient for all my clients, easy to find and metro accessible. The staff on hand are friendly and helpful, especially Mumbi, the manager. I recommend OSI Offices to all of my fellow entrepreneurs.
Melanie Mfume: I have been with OSI Management for over 4 years now. I did my research prior to selecting a virtual office company and OSI offered far more favorable options and price points than the other companies of both comparable and larger sizes did. In addition, OSI has the personal touch - from management to office staff - that I love. I have the options of mail services, office rental and also dedicated office space as my ever-changing needs require. I have recommended, and will continue to recommend, OSI Management!
John Davis: I have been back with OSI for slightly over 3 years. This is my second stint with OSI, having previously been with them from from 1985-1996. OSI offers the best possible set-up for a lawyer such as myself who is a sole practitioner. I have a litigation practice, so it is imperative that my mail and telephone logs be meticulous, and that my clients and witnesses be accommodated at all times. I could not be happier with OSI. The OSI staff is outstanding—courteous, efficient, and always willing to go the extra mile for a client. The OSI management is fabulous. Jack Pearce and his managers always know what technology is on the cutting edge for attorneys, and offer mini-seminars to ensure that the attorneys renting from OSI are kept abreast of all the latest Court-ordered innovations. As an example, when the D.C. courts went to mandatory electronic filing, OSI installed copiers and scanners that would accommodate the largest of jobs. Now, thanks to OSI technology, I can handle electronic discovery in huge proportions. I would highly recommend OSI to any small business that needs a big business presence.
David Finberg: OSI Offices was extremely easy and pleasant to deal with. Their prices were very reasonable and I was able to customize my payment plan so that I was only paying for the services I needed as a small business owner....not to mention the fast internet and wealth of tech services they provide to help me automate many of my processes...Great!!
Diane Kern: Renting office space from O.S.I. Management, Inc. has been one of the best business decisions I have made. The location, professional atmosphere and range of services have been invaluable to my practice.

Susan Gravatt: I live in a property that EJF "manages." However, they do so poorly. I've reported multiple packages stolen from within the lobby of the building, and EJF hasn't bothered taking any action to prevent future repeat occurrences. They haven't alerted any residents, posted signage within the building, or even bothered to answer emails from my landlord or me when we've requested their help. EJF did obtain and share with me security footage from the building's camera, which shows someone within the building taking one of my packages. The individual is all suited and hooded up before 6am one day. The person appears to live in the building, given that he or she did not enter from the door in this screenshot. Sending this footage was helpful, but at the same time, it's creepy to think this person is likely a fellow resident. The worst part is that EJF doesn't care to address this in any way and let other tenants know to be on the lookout. So I guess I'll just wait for my next package to be stolen by a neighbor again since there's no form of recourse here with this negligent property management company.
Ahmad Parwiz Shiwa: EJF Real Estate Services has helped me with getting my new apartment in only 4 days despite the two days weekend and one-day holiday in sequence after submitting my application. They made the impossible possible. Everyone in EJF's team has been perfect and very supportive. I got great support from Ms. Nicole Rivera and Mr. James Rice! They provided me with the best service considering both quality and quantity and time management. Thank you, EJF Team! 🙂🙂
Samantha Zeno: I have had the worst experience with EJF. I appreciate the speed in which they were able to get my lease signed. However, after taking my full deposit. I had to find out from the building that I’m renting from that they have a separate application process and that I wasn’t actually approved yet. That was only the first of my headaches with EJF. I was told that the unit passed inspection and that it received two cleanings prior to moving in, but upon arrival I found that the unit was disgusting and physically covered in layers of dirt and grime. I was told there were no pest issues but I found pest traps. Countless things were broken including electricity, Internet cables, stove top, bathtub. That’s only the beginning of the maintenance requests I have had to submit. And through this company you have to pay hourly for maintenance however such issue should’ve been resolved prior to having a tenant move in . If a unit is not ready do not advertise it for rent. The company will not holding up its side of the lease. I have had challenges getting into contact with EJF when there are dire maintenance issues. I understand their customer support representatives are doing their best but if you can, save yourself the headache and do not rent through EJF.
Megan Quinn: I am beyond frustrated with EJF Real Estate. I would love to leave a better review, but my experience over the past month with them has been a joke. At the beginning of January, I discovered they had been double charging me for my HOA fees since August. Upon calling them, we were able to easily arrange for them to give me a refund. You would think that a company who had such ease taking double my money out of my account each month, would have no problem putting that money back in. It took about a week for them to finally tell me they mailed my check on January 14th, and that's only with incessant calls on my part. It is now February 1st and my check is nowhere in sight. The last time I called, I was directed to someone in accounts. I emailed them and have yet to hear back, even after a follow up email, and while I can't be upset with the customer service reps, it's incredibly frustrating to continuously get non-answers with no solution to my problem. I've been incredibly patient up until this point. I receive full packages from out of state faster than I'm receiving this standard sized envelope within the same few square miles, so at this point I'm convinced someone is slacking and just never actually sent my check. I will happily amend my review if someone with EJF could actually contact me with a solution to this issue.
Patrick Martell: We had a particularly time sensitive issue relating to move out. Marco Francisco from EJF handled this effectively, expeditiously and in a highly professional manner. We appreciate his good work, his understanding of the urgency of our issue, and his effectiveness in getting the necessary paperwork done.
Maria Ferrara: Esdras from EJF was very helpful walking me through the Portal, which I needed to attend to changes in my situation. I was very grateful to get a real person on the phone and for him to be patient with me. He answered all my questions and was helpful every step of the way. I am not computer savvy. So Esdras at EJF really helped me. Thank you, Esdras at EJF! Gold stars for you.
Nicholas Marcopoli: I've been meaning to write this review for a while now -- I lived in an EJF managed condo for a year and it was an absolute pleasure to work with EJF on everything from the lease agreement to maintenance requests to the final inspection and return of the security deposit. I've recommended EJF to several of my friends and colleagues who have all had similarly positive experiences.
Trevor Guthrie: This has got to be one of the worst management companies you can find. Constant building repairs that leave us without water, AC/Heat, sinks, etc. The people rarely answer phones and then when you're put on hold they make you listen to how "great" they think they are. I have a leaky bathroom, a toilet that wont flush, and a kitchen sink that has so little water pressure it is useless. I have reached out for a week (phone calls, emails, etc) to no avail. I cannot recommend this play any less. It should not even be in business.
Robert Mcbride: Our property has many complex systems that require a diligent Property Manager, Sarinda Ly knows our property and it’s complexities and has been responsive to my request for years. If it’s a complaint she follows through, if it’s a request for access for a utility between certain hours or even Weekends She has been there on time every time and I appreciate that, I have taken it for granted. A good property Manager is very hard to find in the DC area, we’re lucky to have one of the best.
Karl Sakas: As a landlord, I can't decide whether EJF is extremely dishonest or incredibly incompetent. Take your pick. - Turnover - Took 3 - 4 months to prep a vacant unit when original estimate was 2 weeks. Nothing major -- almost all was superficial work, like painting walls and reglazing bath tiles. However, the electrical breaker work was not done correctly initially and could've lead to serious injury or death of the tenant. Despite sign off on each individual item by EJF's "quality assurance" team, **thousands of dollars** of invoiced work was not completed until the landlord flagged on their own. - Fees - Questionable double-dipping between tenants and landlords. EJF employee claimed in writing the $35 month tenant fee made it so rental insurance was not needed by tenant... but then in lease, EJF required tenants to get separate renter's insurance. Is EJF lying or incompetent? Landlord pays a monthly mgmt fee to EJF, so why is EJF taking money out of the pockets out of the tenant, too? EJF explained a pet fee is pocketed by mgmt group, not landlord. The "pet insurance" scheme they described is questionable at best. - Accounting - Incorrectly issued 1099-MISC and more erroneous charges on the monthly statements than I can count. EJF sent first payment as a paper check to who knows where, despite previously setup and transfer of funds thru automatic transfer. Process to remedy was painful. - Communication - Often weeks between responses, despite multiple follow up by email and phone. - Marketing - Awful, sloppy copy to market the unit with numerous inaccuracies and contradictory statements. In the same paragraph Pets are Allowed and Not Allowed. Unit has window A/C and central HVAC. Touts stores that have been closed earlier for the neighborhood. Even factoring in the challenges of the world, R\rental took much longer to lease out than compared units in the building during the same time period at a lower rent value.

The New Washington Land Company: what do users think?
Mark Frank: On the day we were meant to move in, I walked into an apartment that hadn't been cleaned, and had kitchen items, broken furniture, dirty pillows and blankets left in the apartment. Dead bugs were on the windowsill, as was a used razor in the shower. About 50% of the lightbulbs in the apartment were burnt out. After multiple calls and texts messages, the apartment was cleaned to a slightly higher standard the next day, however much of the excess furniture was left in the apartment, and the light bulbs were not replaced. Additionally, please read your lease carefully with this company. Many items that are typically the responsibility of the property management company (pest and rodent control, caulking, air filter replacement, chimney sweeping, etc) are the responsibility of the tenant. I'm not sure how an individual tenant in an apartment building is expected to eliminate pests that typically affect an entire building, but it is expected of you in the lease. The thermostat was not working efficiently upon move in, and this had to be replaced by the tenant. I wouldn't recommend working with this company if you can avoid it - I've been counting down the days until move out since the day I moved in!
Philip Capasso: Just to update since they chose to respond. The issue that is mentioned in their response, which I didn't bring up in my review, was not represented accurately in their comments. The issue was not resolved at all because the management company did not address it and simply tried to prove that it was our fault (It was proven that it was not an issue within our unit by multiple independent parties, all of which the management party chose to ignore). That was their only concern, and because of that and their refusal to accept that it wasn't in our unit, it was never resolved. We're just thankful the buyer decided they would go through anyway. Absolutely dishonest, manipulative crooks. What they also chose to not respond to was that multiple real estate agents are out there telling their clients not to purchase anything managed by this company. Think about that for a while. Real estate agents are telling clients not to buy if this company is involved. And the number of agents that are making this recommendation has now increased after their mismanagement. Do not deal with this company, as I mentioned (and as you can see by their response) their only concern is protecting themselves and hiding themselves from liability. No one we dealt with had ever experienced anything like this from any other management company. If anyone would like to contact me directly, I'd be more than happy to provide evidence of my claims. There is plenty of it. If you are looking at hiring a management company for your property, you need to stay clear of this company. I could tell you stories of the wildly unprofessional behavior, the quotes on work that are completely overpriced with anything else you will find, or the combative nature but I'll skip that. Here is all you need to know about for them as a management company: 1. They will open you, your tenants (or the tenants of the building) to liability. They are concerned with covering themselves and once they have, they do not care if they violate any safety regulations. 2. We are currently selling a unit in the building that they manage and we have had 2 different people that were going to make offers and BOTH of their real estate agents advised their clients to never purchase anything managed by this company and both buyers walked away. The assessments made by TNWLC as well as their reputation cost us buyers. This should scare any owner. I worked in real estate for many years and with property managers all over the country. I can say with confidence that this company is a liability both to many things, but certainly the value of your home. Stay clear!
Response: Ian and Philip, We appreciate it when our clients post concerns, providing us the opportunity to assist. These postings allow us to review our internal procedures, determine where things might have gone wrong, correct any mistakes we may have made, and institute new protocols to avoid the same situation. However, in this case, our reply is intended to correct the record. The situation you write about has been going on since before TNWLC began managing the Association, per your emails from 2016-2017. We worked diligently with you and the Board of Directors in 2017, thoroughly investigating your claims and providing you with a very comprehensive response on responsibilities and next steps you, as the Unit Owner, could take to resolve the issue, which was a Unit Owner issue. Our response included significant investigation of the common areas and excerpts from the Declaration and Bylaws, codifying the Association's position. Since 2017, you have not taken any steps towards remediating the issue, which, as noted previously, was the Unit Owner's responsibility. And when you placed your Unit on the market in 2022, the issue almost affected your sale negatively. However, in 2022, TNWLC again reacted promptly and comprehensively to your claims, and the Board and Management came to the same conclusion as we did in 2017. The only difference is your failure to properly maintain your Unit, as per the Bylaws, cost the other owners in the Association additional money to investigate the same issue twice. We congratulate you on finalizing the sale of your Unit earlier this week, no doubt, with all the additional work TNWLC did to assist you in this process. We believe online postings should be informational and factual, not emotional, and inaccurate. The information you have provided in your posting is not accurate and was an emotional response to a very frustrating situation, which we get. We wish the best of luck to you and Philip in the future.
Kristina Lee: My experience with The New Washington Land Company has been beyond exceptional! I would most definitely recommend TNWLC. I can say that I'm super happy I went with them. They were very efficient at getting everything set up paperwork-wise and they had a tenant in there quickly. Annessa and her staff respond to immediate renter and owner concerns. My life has become much less stressful since I acquired their services. If you are in need of a property management company please don't hesitate to call them, it’s the best thing I ever did!!
Sean McCormick: Not sure what's with all these negative reviews, but New Washington Land has been great for me. They just took over management of our building and it has been night and day! They are so helpful, particularly with my unit account. The books were in shambles with the old management; however, NWL cleared everything by working with the Board and did their due diligence. It's really unfortunate this company is not getting the recognition it deserves. However, i think most people are aware that only "unhappy/dissatisfied" clients/ customers that write reviews. This is why I am writing this. This company is great and and that's that.
Alejandro Gonzalez: The team at The New Washington Land Company is phenomenal. Every time I have had any issues with my unit, I shoot them a quick note and always get a same day response. Mikki, the building manager is great and very responsive! And, the young lady at the front desk in The New Washington Land Company's corporate office is very polite and attentive. Nothing but good things to say about New Washington Land!
Toby Lim: I own several condos in Washington DC and The New Washington Land Company has by far the best after hours/emergency service among the other management companies I have encountered in DC. My unit had a water leak and the on- call personnel called me back within four minutes!!!! That's unheard of! She immediately called the unit upstairs, called the plumber, and got everything addressed within a couple of hours. I was also given an update after all said and done. Such a great service!!! I can't make this up! Other companies take up to a couple of hours to respond, which can be detrimental when we are talking about water damage. I truly appreciate the level of service this company has to offer. Other owners in the building agrees with me as well! Thank you!!!
Jacob C: I have never had an issue with my condo management since my unit has been managed by the New Washington Land Company compared to what I have experienced in the past. They have responded to any issues with my unit in a fast and efficient manner and are easily accessible with quick response times. I honestly couldn't be more satisfied.
Anni Tran: The best property management company I have worked with. I moved to DC area from NY. I have lived in different apartments and owned a condo (which I sold before I moved). Never have I experienced such pleasant people in the property management industry. I might be somewhat new in the area (who purchased a condo on 14th St area), but, The New Washington Land Company has made my new home that much better. They are very responsive, helpful, and knowledgable.
Nadine Cottrell: I believe it takes two to work, the team has been supportive and accommodative to our needs. I communicate my concerns and the company acted promptly. I think the relationship has to be in a partnership to work, and the New Washington Land Company is a great partner for our property. I appreciate their attention to detail and great executor approach. Nothing but a satisfied client here. Thank you for your brilliant service.
Andrew Zimdahl: We have worked with the NWL Co for several years ago and have had nothing but positive experiences with them- especially Jack and his team! Property mgmt is not an easy business, but these guys pursue their jobs with passion and enthusiasm. We plan on staying with them for many years to come.

Chatel Real Estate: what do users think?
Emily Hoffman: I have had a great experience renting from Chatel for 2+ years. They made the application/ move-in process seamless and stress free. In the rare cases I have needed maintenance, Jimmy and team have been wonderful - they are very responsive, quick to turn things around and flexible with my schedule. I highly recommend!
Catherine Walters: I currently rent from Chatel and I absolutely love my apartment and the building. The application was easy, the people are very responsive and very organized. It is easy to pay rent or request maintenance. I even moved in with a new refrigerator waiting for me. Chatel looks after their spaces.
jessica johnson: I highly recommend Chatel Real Estate! Everyone I have had the pleasure of meeting within the company is extremely kind and hardworking. They will make sure any need you have will be met with efficiency and professionalism. Rent or buy with Chatel today!
Neil Washington: As a tenant, Chatel Real Estate, has been a pleasant company to interact with. From signing a lease, to moving in, and submitting maintenance requests I've found them to be responsive and helpful. From what I've seen, the employees are all good-intentioned and want the best for their clients and tenants.
Arielle Lee: Renting from Chatel Real Estate has been a good experience. The maintenance team is phenomenal - they always respond back quickly and fix whatever needs to be fixed in a very timely manner. I'm happy to be a current resident.
Anna Wohlin: Chatel has been awesome since we moved in and have accommodate us in many ways. We needed a good amount of maintenance to be done when we moved and they were able to come within a few days to get everything fixed. Super helpful and responsive.
Tim Brooks: Positive: Professionalism, ResponsivenessOur condo building has used Chatel for many years. For the past few we have been fortunate enough to have Sarah Keller as our property manager. Sarah is awesome and I highly recommend her. She is professional, responsive and never drops the ball. A true asset to Chatel
Ibrahim Bechrouri: They do their job! Signing a contract was a bit slow (mostly because I think our agent was leaving his job soon), but since then any issue in our apt has been taking care of professional and diligently. Their app is pretty cool too :)
Alisha Saxena: I live at an apartment complex managed by Chatel Real Estate and I've really appreciated their transparency and follow through on everything they promise in the lease contracts. Great service overall!
Antonio Saadipour: My roommates and I love our current house and Chatel is always very responsive to maintenance requests! Any request is usually acted on within two days.

Longford Management: what do users think?
Chris Riggans: I had a difficult time finding availability in the area, but my experience with Wardell Gatling from Longford was great, and responded within the hour and setup a tour that day. Moved in with no issues, overall I had a great experience from the beginning. This management company is absolutely Great! They check all the boxes. When looking for an new place of resident, Mr. Wardell, went above & beyond to make sure I found the right apartment for me. The process was very quick & easy. The constant communication to insure that I had everything I needed & then some was amazing. If your looking for a new place, & want over the top service Langford management is the way to go!
Karen Howland: Wardell is one of the easiest, most friendly, property managers I've had the pleasure to work with. Our company is leasing multiple units from him and he's been great to work with on this complicated project. I look forward to working with him again.
Rachel Sherman: The onboarding experience was fantastic thanks to Wardell. He’s great and the best. My issues are with maintenance that don’t respond or call to formal requests, going on 10 days now. Just be prepared to fix your own toilet, install shower rods, etc. Actually the slowest maintenance I’ve seen compared to other individual property managers like Frank Emmett who respond in 1-2 days. So just be prepared for things to run slow once you’re a resident. Otherwise, everything else is great.
Adeeb Stwodah: Working with Longford Management to sign my lease was efficient and pain free. Wardell was great and made sure I was informed and on track every step of the way. I would recommend Longford and would STRONGLY recommend working with Wardell because he personally took the time to help me through the process.
Lakia Young: I’ve been waiting for maintenance issues to be fixed in this unit for a month and once I voice my opinion my parking spot has been giving away by the landlord I was told not to contact him anymore(Wardell) after he’s been communicating with me on a friendly basis via text message and phone calls on my personal phone. Weird behavior and I don’t like it . Can’t wait until 2024 I was placed here for relocation, I wouldn’t recommend moving here everything sounds great until u sign the lease. I just want to be a peace me and my children that’s all and for these problems to be fixed in my unit then they wouldn’t have to worry about me . God bless
Response: Dear Ms. Young - We always welcome feedback. I have looked at your open and closed work orders and do not see work requests for the pictured items. I have opened a work order (#16563) for these, please allow a day or two for scheduling. Please remember, you can reach our maintenance team at 202.747.6555 or contact the primary lease holder of your block of corporate units by contacting Tina from Somerset. We look forward to resolving these issues, your continued residency and working to convert your experience to a five star. Longford Team
Na'im Muhammad: While the building itself isn’t horrible, the management of its amenities and services are severely lacking to say the least. The “warm and fuzzy” I got while moving here at the end over November 2021 has long gone and has been replaced by frustration and disappointment. From false advertising about rent and utilities, to a lack luster approach to tenant issues. If this location wasn’t so great and convenient for entertainment and work, I’d be looking to relocate. To be clear, my issues are with the management company and not the apartments themselves.
Airam Thurman: Had a great opportunity to work with Wardell Gatling. He has great customer service and was willing to go above and beyond to get my questions answered. I'm preparing for a move so I was looking to avoid any extra stress and he made sure to help make the process as easy as possible.
Gladys B. McCorkle: I've been using Longford Management for 6 months now. They got everything fixed within a few days of the inspection. Working with Wardell has been extremely refreshing compared to some of the competitors in the arena. Looking forward to many more months working with Longford!
rachel gonzalez: Wardell was extremely helpful, attentive, and quick while securing me an apartment with all my wants and needs within a weeks notice! Since I wasn’t able to go in person to view the apartment before signing the lease Wardell made himself extremely accessible via facetime for tours, questions, and phone calls to discuss the fine print of the lease. Any of the issues we reported to him were taken care of within a week and a half of me living there which was a plus. Overall a great experience with him
Lauren Bogartis: I’m an investor and had a great experience talking with Dave at Longford. Ultimately our deal didn’t close because of seller issues but we WILL hire Longford to manage our next acquisition. Thanks for all the help and advice!

Fred A. Smith Company: what do users think?
Adriane Hall: Professionalism of rental office is ridiculous. The residential manager of our complex has an extreme attitude issue, as if she’s never worked with real people in her life. I explained to her how our laundry room app hadn’t worked in over 2 weeks ( as of now almost 4 months ), and her response was disrespectful & extremely uncalled for. They are supposed to tow cars in our parking lot if the Owner doesn’t live here, they haven’t and even threatened to tow OUR car ( she knew it was ours ). Her children live in our complex ( LIVE , not WORK for ) & have on numerous occasions harassed my guests. The apartment itself & the location is great, but unfortunately they have a rental office full of people with terrible people skills. As soon as this lease is up I’m running.
Response: We’re sorry to hear you did not have a great experience. Thank you for letting us know, as we take time to address all customer feedback. Please feel free to call our office to discuss the matter in more detail.
Dominique Gebru: DC’s housing market is tough. As a renter, it can feel like your options are overpriced luxury or old, not updated units that include terrible management service. Fred A. Smith seems to be the exception. We found a perfect-for-us unit in the heart of Columbia Heights managed by FAS, with a price tag that didn’t make me want to cry. The leasing process was simple and didn’t require tons of trips to their office. FAS has integrated a tenant portal for rent and repair requests, and our repair requests were always handled promptly. The company is pretty no-frills, but was perfect for our needs. I have an ESA dog, and they processed that paperwork quickly. I’d wholeheartedly recommend using FAS to find your new apartment.
Response: Thank you Dominique for your review and taking the time to share your experience with others. We appreciate it very much!
Kemi Asani: The Fred A. Smith Company manages one of the apartments that I was interested in. Their overall application process was incredibly slow, and with lack of communication. I called, left messages and finally a MONTH later received a decision about an application. These folxs act as though they are gatekeepers. Save yourself the stress and avoid this company. Moving and relocating is already stressful and you don't need to jump through hoops to acquire a living space.
Response: We appreciate your feedback and we are sorry your experience was less than desirable. Please contact our office to discuss your situation.
Sabrina Brogren: Had a great experience renting from Fred A. Smith company! The unit was as advertised and reasonably priced. They were always extremely responsive to emails (we heard back within 1-2 business days), and when necessary, they sent over maintenance folks who were clearly very experienced. I even once let them know that the stove had a cracked knob that caused it to not work very well, and they quickly had a new one sent over. Move in and move out was smooth, and everyone we interacted with was kind and professional.
Response: Sabrina, thank you for taking the time to share about your experience. We are always working to figure out what it takes to give each customer the best service.
Tanisha Gupta: Absolutely awful maintenance team. My room AC is broken in the midst of a significant heat wave in DC and FAS has not cared to even address my concerns. After waiting for multiple days, I only got a response to my emails and maintenance requests by threatening to write this review. Even then, they have not taken action to come look at the issue, let alone fix it. One of my roommates also has a broken AC, and is facing similar problems. As much as I like the location of the building and the people I live with, I will never live in an FAS-owned property again.
Response: Thank you for your feedback, and we are very sorry to hear that you were left with that impression of our business. I can assure you that we take all feedback seriously. Please feel free to call our office to discuss your concerns further.
EllisAshley Anderson: Trying to get an update on maintenance ticket submitted Sunday for The Violet. Please reach out. Stuff on the wall looks like mold. 05/24/22 update: STILL waiting on a response from maintenance and management! 06/02/22 update: owner responded to the Google review but we are STILL waiting on a call back. We've left numerous voicemails and maintenance tickets via our tenant portal. We would appreciate a number that we could actually talk to someone, not just leave a voicemail each time as that seems to do nothing.
Response: We are sorry to hear about your experience. We take feedback very seriously and would appreciate it if you could give us a call to discuss your situation.
Ramo Sherreiff: I'd give them a 0 if I could. This is the most trifling rental company I've ever had the displeasure of dealing with. I moved into my unit on 7/1/19 and informed them of MULTIPLE problems with my unit in the first week. I have had TWO inspections by DCRA (both of which fined them over $12,000 for violations). Things from broken windows and AC units to a roach infestation in my unit, the hallway and the garbage cans outside of the building! I advised ANYONE having to deal with them (and if you haven't moved in with them DONT!!!!!!) contact DCRA (you can go right to their site and request an inspection even if you do not get any assistance in paying your rent, like myself.). Note, it may take a few as they seem to NOT care about even getting thousands of dollars in fines. However, you do have options other than sitting around and waiting for an ANSWER for a MONTH from them to FIX their property's issues (meanwhile wanting full rent the whole time!). The washing machine here has been broken for 3 months (to this date) and hasn't even been checked by them (despite me reminding them at the beginning of the month that nothing has been done). They also know they are wrong as, instead of fixing the problems with their unit and building, they offered me the chance to leave my lease. I honestly would've taken the escape if I hadn't spent so much time, money and energy moving into this unit (which isn't the problem, it's the management, or lack there of). If you can, avoid them like a plague. If you are already dealing with their foolishness, call DCRA as your first step. Then use that to go to court. Good luck in dealing with their special brand of mismanagement! They are lazy, refuse to do ANY of their job (even after thousands in fines!) and lie about everything (make sure you do EVERYTHING by e-mail, don't talk to ANYONE! You'll need the proof of their lies!)
Response: Mr. Sherreiff, we are sorry to hear about the complications you experienced with your move-in. We took over management of this building at the same time you moved in, so there were some things that came as a surprise to us, as well. We will be in close contact with you privately to make sure all of your issues get resolved.
Colin Boerger: The staff at Fred A Smith were very responsive and professional. They did a great job all the way from looking at places to moving out of our apartment. I had to find a place in very short notice and they were accommodating to my quick timeline. They were very prompt to any maintenance requests and kept everything in the apartment in good working order. I'd highly recommend them to anyone looking for an apartment.
Response: Colin, thank you for taking the time to write us a review. We appreciate your recommendation very much!
Cheyenne Brown: I was hoping for the best moving into my first apartment. During the tour the building and unit LOOKED to be very attractive and well put together, unfortunately it was the total opposite. After 2 weeks of being partially moved in, rain came and COMPLETELY flooded our apartment. How could they be unaware of such a SERIOUS issue?? It took almost a month for them to move us into a different unit (with very poor and unprofessional movers might I add) and I'm sure it could've taken longer if we did not take the measures we did. Even the unit we moved into wasn't the cleanest (dead bugs throughout the apartment). After settling in to our new unit, we discovered further how poorly the building was built. We could hear our neighbors below us conversations and I'm pretty sure they could hear ours. Some maintenance requests were filled in a timely manner, some weren't. And even in this new unit, when it would rain we would still experience water inserting our unit. OVERALL, terrible experience when communicating with folks at the Fred A. Smith office. It's been a few weeks since we've heard anything about our deposit return, we had to reach out to them and even now it's been a week since we've responded to an email regarding our deposit and have heard nothing back.
Response: We are very sorry about your situation. I can assure you that we take all feedback seriously. Please contact us so we can properly address your case.
Joe Kawly: The property manager was ready to help and communicate to make my situation better and less stressful after I had an issue with my basement apartment. A prompt response is what tenants need. Thank you
Response: Joe, thank you so much for sharing your experience. We appreciate you taking the time to write a review for us!

Real Property Management DC Metro: what do users think?
Stephanie Pitotti Williams REALTOR: As a local real estate agent and active Landlord, I value local in-market property managers that are responsive (communication is key), solution-oriented and also ones that provide an easy-to-use platform for tenant management. After several disappointing attempts to connect with other recommended property managers, BJ and his team blew me away! Not only did they meet my criteria, but they were personable and helped me get a client into their system and a lease issued to a tenant in record time. We pulled it off, only because they knew what they were doing and they did it impressively well. I will be recommending them to future clients and my wider brokerage. They are the real deal!
Response: Thank you for trusting us.
Sara Clark: Reached to inquire on their services. Received a generic message saying I would receive a call. Two weeks later and I message again but was asked where my property was. This screams discrimination and the following is what I received. The capitol never ceases to amaze me. Yes, we are pretty picky about the properties we add to our portfolio. We are looking for great homes in great neighborhoods. We are also limited to areas based on our office location. In DC we focus on rentals closer to the office. There are 300+ Real Property Management offices in the Nation. Update: For whoever responded. How am I upset when I never gave my property address. Your first response was where is it and you specifically do not want to work with areas catering to black and brown folks.
Response: Im sorry you were not happy with our response. We focus on adding good properties and owners who take care of their rental. We do all of this so our tenants have great home to rent. Thank you!
Richard Hrdy: Great experience with Nicole. She was very informative and personable and I'm so grateful for the advice and guidance she gave me regarding the unit I was looking at and other ones that were available. I would absolutely recommend this business and her to my friends looking for housing!
Response: Thank you for the kind words!
Lori Pitts: My partner and I enjoyed looking for apartments through this company. They were responsive, courteous, and very communicative throughout the application process. We looked at one apartment and then the woman who showed us the place was able to recommend another place we might like. She even drove over and showed us immediately. It ended up being one of our top choices! She was never pushy though and let us really get a feel for the place without rushing us. Once we applied, they were in constant communication with us about next steps and were able to get back to us quickly when we wanted to negotiate with the owner. We ended up choosing another apartment for unrelated reasons, but this was by far a MUCH smoother experience. I will say it’s quite a process to sign up to go see an apartment with them (they need a picture of your drivers license and you fill out a mini application basically), but overall, we had a great experience with RPM and would definitely look through them again!
Response: Thank you for the feedback!
Elizabeth Crites: The company was very responsive, professional, and transparent with their application process up front which I really appreciate. I was able to schedule a viewing of an apartment I was interested in within 12 hours of first finding the listing. I met with John and he showed me around the building and two units, explaining things and answering all my questions with a great, friendly demeanor, putting my anxiety completely at ease. Would recommend this company if you’re looking for a new place and want the process to be as painless as possible.
Response: Thanks for the great feedback Elizabeth!
Audrianna Maki: Positive: Professionalism, Quality, ResponsivenessReal Property management was incredibly easy to work with, and promptly responded to any and all inquiries. The showing agent was professional and personable, answering all questions I had. They were transparent about the application process and processing times.
Response: Thank you for the great feedback. Good luck in your home search!
Tina Robinson: Positive: Professionalism, ResponsivenessBecky was very personable and charismatic. She was very responsive to my questions prior to viewing the listing and she was very knowledgeable of the unit and its upkeep. Excellent customer service !!!!
Response: Thnkas for the feedback. Becky is pretty great.
Kim Do: RPM DC was extremely helpful during my apartment search. The entire process, from scheduling a viewing to getting the apartment keys in my hand, was made super simple and easy with them. They were quick to answer emails and were always looking out for my best interest. I needed to find an apartment and move in rather quickly and they were able to do just that. I was able to get my apartment in record time. Metaphorically, they did all the heavy lifting, making everything hassle free for me. Even today, if I have any questions, they are quick to email me back and are always super nice and professional (unfortunately those qualities are a rare find nowadays). Overall, an amazing and smooth experience. I would, without a doubt, recommend working with them.
Response: Thank you for the review Kim!
Madeline Ignash: Johnathon gave us a tour of the available rentals and he was great! He was professional and friendly, as well as very knowledgeable about the property and the area. I appreciate him being generous with him time and answering any and all of my questions about the rental. Knowing that I will be working with great people like him, helps make my decision to rent an easy one!
Response: Thank you for the feedback! Jonathan is great!
Tamika McCray: House was very spacious for me. Everything seems to b in good condition nothing really out of order. My favorite was the Baby blue stove which gave color in the kitchen. Out back also had something like a bird house but for me can be used as my go to to get a little piece of mind out doors away from others. The master bedroom was spacious but i didn’t understand why it had a half bathroom instead of a full bathroom. An what i least liked about the property was that there wasn’t a bathroom at all in the basement which could’ve been that half bathroom that was in the master bedroom. The guy that showed the house very nice an also helped answered a few of my questions. But overall I loved it an I’m not a big fan in SE period but that part was clean & quiet.
Response: Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback.

Renters Warehouse: what do users think?
WSDI Partners: For the last several years I have been working with Chris Cunningham ,and his team at Renters Warehouse to lease my multi-family unit in Washington DC. This year he even placed a tenant and was able to pay me 12 months of rent in advance. I was able to use those funds to renovate and get an additional unit on-line. He helped me to truly maximize the income on this building. I would highly recommend Chris C and his team to anyone looking to maximize the income potential on their real estate.
Joseph Smith: ***Look at the Yelp reviews instead of their inflated google reviews; it is a lot more telling to the quality of service! They will gladly leave listings up after they have already chosen an occupant for their apartments just to rake in the application fees. Was given the link to apply, applied at 4:00pm, and was notified the next morning that they already had chosen an occupant. My application did not even have a chance to get looked at and the representatives are of no help in getting the refund. They say it “is because the credit report was ran,” but many other reputable agencies will issue an application fee refund if the listing is taken off literally as you are applying. Very dissatisfied and would recommend looking elsewhere. Renters Warehouse will not hesitate to take your money and completely ghost you. Several poor-quality rental agencies have been more responsive, willing to help, and honest🚩🚩🚩
Rikia Cleveland: Amazing experience with Glenn Jones ! Me and my family were giving up on finding the right home until we saw a listing for the perfect one. Put in a tour request on Zillow and Mr.Jones responded to me within a few hours. Scheduled a tour 2 days later , sent in an application and now I’m typing this review in our new home. Everything was so quick , but very smooth process and great communication! We’re very happy ! Update: Unfortunately after being at the property for almost 4 years. We’re being told to leave the property without a proper 60days notice and have not been updated by the management company. Our lease is not up until March 31, 2023. The company shows no sense of urgency regarding this matter and has not yet explained how this is legal. I haven’t gotten any response to emails or phone calls. So me and my family will be taking legal action so we won’t be homeless.
Response: Thank you Rikia
Miriam Rudder: When I found myself overwhelmed with maintaining numerous rental websites along with scheduling, interviewing and background checks of potential renters for my studio unit, a friend recommended Renters Warehouse. What a relief!!! My agent, Glenn Jones, arrived in the nick of time. He walked me through the process….he basically handles everything!!! Glenn always arrived prior to the appointment, ready to show the unit, often having numerous showings in one day. Afterwards, he would share his professional assessment of each candidate. I ended up with a great tenant!! Along with Glenn’s professional commitment, I really enjoyed working with him. He’s witty, honest and diligent. If and when my current tenant moves on, Glenn will be the first and only call I’ll make to have the unit rented again. He is well deserving of the highest rating possible. Miriam Rudder
Thomas Cuesta: One of our goals this year was to find renters for our house; but didn't know where to start until I found Renters Warehouse. Renters Warehouse assigned Rod Sanders to guide us through the process and it was seamless. He did a great job explaining the process to us and giving us time estimates on how long it could take. Once, we decided to proceed in showing our home - he scheduled showings and also did an open house and sure enough he found a tenant to place at our house. Soon after, everything was set to go from paperwork to suggestions on what we should do to the house before we move out. It was a great experience working with Rod - very professional, punctual and honest and it was a pleasure working with him. I would definitely recommend him and Renters Warehouse. Job well done!
Whittney Fox: I own a home, and was ready to rent it, but I didn’t know anything about property management. Initially, I met with a few management companies that left me feeling wary. However, when I met Iris Strickland, I knew I was in good hands. Not only did Iris exude friendliness and professionalism, but she was extremely knowledgeable! She took the time to explain the details that others simply omitted, and she was always responsive. She genuinely wanted to help me, and ensure I felt comfortable with the process. I truly could not have asked for a better experience! If you are looking for someone who is friendly, professional and knowledgeable, I highly recommend that you contact Iris Strickland!!
Jackie Tschida: I can't say enough! I had such a great experience! I had just gotten rid of a very bad tenant and decided to use Renters Warehouse to promote my home. Julia Gull was so wonderful to work with. We talked for almost two hours answering my questions (and I had a TON)! Julia posted my house on the web and did an awesome job. The angles in the pics were just beautiful. Julia kept me up to date as to who had interest, when she would be showing the house, and was very responsive to potential tenants. I recommend Julia to promote your house and get it rented. I never felt uncomfortable letting her run the show.
Response: Hi Jackie, We are beaming with pride knowing that we hit the mark and delivered on everything that we promised! We are happy that Julia was able to assist you and are happy to have her on the team! Our brand promise is all about delivering seamless experiences that exceed customer expectations! We sincerely look forward to serving you time after time. Warm Regards, The Renters Warehouse DC
Maria Kobe: I've had an excellent experience with Renters Warehouse. Their services and fees are outlined in a very easy to understand and transparent website. Nikki was assigned to my rental listing and was very professional with recommendations and regular updates. Her feedback and assistance was well worth the fee. I also have a property management agreement with Renters Warehouse and Nikki has remained my point of contact - this has been reassuring! She's extremely prompt in responding to inquires regarding issues that may arise. I have total peace of mind!
MONCEF BENYOUCEF: Katalin Moore-Bor made renting our house such a positive experience. She is very professional making the whole process a lot less stressful. She is very punctual and aware about every detail. She also made us convinced that Renter warehouse is the right place for us to continue doing business with. Katalin is also very organized, proactive and quick responsive to our concerns. I highly recommend her for her positive attitude, and her ability to help. Thank you Renter Warehouse for having such a nice people.
Response: Hi Moncef, Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy schedule to write us such a positive and detailed review! It is good to know that Katalin exceeded your expectations and made your experience memorable.We know that you have options and are honored that you chose to work with us for your Tenant Placement and Property Management Need. Kind Regards, Renters Warehouse
Steven Stobbe: My wife and I decided to rent out our house and contacted Renters Warehouse. Marc Perez was our Renters Warehouse realtor and he made it a very easy process. He always responded and kept up communication on phone, email and text throughout the process. He found us a great tenant and has answered any questions I've had. I highly recommend Renters Warehouse in general. The electronic Dot loop signing process for any paperwork makes it convenient and simple. I will continue to use them to keep my rental property going.

Atlas Lane: what do users think?
Marsel Gray: Property owner here -- At first Atlas was great advertising the place and using analytics to see what was showing well and what wasn't showing well. However I question their methods on checking credit and referrals for the tenants. My tenant quickly starting skipping out on rent and only paying partial rents. Atlas didn't seem too stressed with obtaining the rent money because they collect the late fees. That fact alone means they make money off late tenants and aren't motivated to have great renters. Overall the experience hasn't been great.
sal sauceda: Great platform to use for its services but do not expect to ever speak to someone other than the agents wanting to lease the property you’re interested in. Once your moved in, all correspondence remains digital and you’re on your own until you get a response. Maintenance is outsourced to another customer service agency. Would not recommend if you live in Washington, D.C.
Allen Rav: Trever at Atlas Lane have been amazing at managing my property and taking great care of my tenant. The communication is quick and professional, the monthly statements are accurate and the team is very responsive in taking care of repairs. As an out of state landlord, managing my own property from afar has been a challenge for the past 5 years and I only wish I had decided to use their services sooner.
Mike Hogan: Atlas Lane has managed our rental home for a year. We are very happy with the professional service they provide. Our rental is well cared for, they found great tenants for us and when we had major plumbing repairs they were solved quickly at fair prices. The vendors they use are top notch! The entire staff is friendly and easy to work with. Highly recommend them!
Kingsley Rotty: Atlas Lane is great. I was with them for 3 years in a rental prior to Trever Faden helping me from renting my property to going through and purchasing the home. He worked side by side with me and current owners. He was very considerate and patient with me while dealing with a tough loan officer. I would recommend Atlas Lane to anyone needed a rental or even to purchase a home. Thank Trever.
Moris Grey: We rented a house from Trever at Atlas Lane properties and he handled the transaction with integrity and care. The home owners then decided to sell and Trever called and gave us an opportunity to buy. He then took over that process and he handled everything very well. We are in our new house now and we love it. We got a great deal. Thank you Atlas Lane. I will recommend them to family and friends.
Angel Bryan: Great experience - I didn't end up renting through Atlas Lane, but their guidance and process were the best of any agency I visited when looking for an apartment in the area. Trever was eager to show me various options in their portfolio, but wasn't overly pushy. Their properties are about average in terms of price and quality - a good deal if it's in you're range. I ended up in a new building nearby and worked with a less stellar agency, but they were the only ones who supported the building.
Jacob Kristy: Atlas Lane was absolutely great!! This was my first home purchase and he walked me through every step! He is still helping me when I have questions and it's been three months since my purchase! He also will email me just to check in and make sure everything is still good. I definitely recommend him if you are looking to buy or sell! Trever makes the process (almost) painless.
Wayne Bonks: Atlas Lane shows exceptional care for his work and goes above and beyond his duties, a testament to his work ethic and values. For property owners, I've been part of management teams before and know how important it is for managing vacancies, timely turnover of rentals, and selection of quality residents -- Atlas Lane has the magic touch! Trever is meticulous and thoughtful with remodeling, managing his staff, and handling paper work smoothly. For tenants, Trever manages the property with care as if he lived there, keeping the landscaping and other amenities clean and well-organized. His attention to detail as well as his vision of the larger picture makes him an amazing manager for owners and tenants, a tough balance he juggles expertly.
Hobbs Tanner: Recently had the pleasure of working with Atlas Lane for our new home and can't say enough good things! Fantastic, straight forward communication in a timely manner (rare for a management company in my opinion). I have worked with several managements companies in different capacities, and I've never experienced this level of service. If you're searching for your next new home or are considering leasing yours out, contact them!

Nomadic Real Estate: what do users think?
Lindsay miranda: If I could give this a company 0 stars, I would. They are the most unresponsive, unaccountable management property I’ve ever dealt with. They would take months to address maintenance issues and send at least 2 or 3 contractors who would be wrongfully advised by Nomadic and unequipped to resolve the issue. For emergency maintenance issues, it would take them days and sometimes weeks to address. My ac stopped working during a heatwave in 2019 and it took them 5 days to get it fixed. My apartment was over 100 degrees and I had to stay in a hotel until someone showed up. This happened again in 2020 and 2021 for other emergencies as well. Moving out and closing my account with them was a nightmare as well, they never showed to do my inspection even though someone left a voicemail that they were on their way. They lost my Closeout document and then took them months to figure out what was going on with my security deposit. They did nothing for 4 months until I started emailing and calling weekly. I would not recommend any person lease through them or use them to manage your property.
Alan Curtis: I’ve been managing my own property in Silver Spring, MD for a few years now, but recently decided to have Nomadic Real Estate manage it due to lack of time, especially since I’m about to purchase another investment property. While I just began working with them, I’m happy with how it’s begun. I introduced them to my current tenants, and my tenants enjoyed meeting them. It’s hard to find great people-people, but Nomadic has found the right people. Looking forward to continuing to work with them!
Jessica Meier: When I was looking for a new place to call home, I came across Nomadic Real Estate online. Their website made it easy to get a feel for the different properties they had available, and I decided to give their virtual walkthrough service a try. I have to say that the virtual tour was spot on - everything looked exactly as it did in person. But even better was my actual visit to one of their apartments - it matched my expectations perfectly. The apartment was in great shape and had all the features I needed, from an updated kitchen to spacious closets. And the best part? It was wonderfully affordable. Overall, I can't recommend Nomadic Real Estate enough - whether you're looking online or in person. Basically, if you're looking for a new place to call home, check them out!
Nico Esguerra: Erin was so helpful and personable in giving me a tour, including accommodating me with a remote tour since I’m moving from another city. She was also patient and helpful with all my questions.
Janeen Mayfield: When I first contacted Nomadic Real Estate about managing my properties, I was a little hesitant. I wasn't sure if their team had the knowledge and experience to handle all of the legal details involved in property management, from drafting and executing lease agreements to handling tenant concerns. But Nomadic totally blew me away with their professionalism and attention to detail. They worked tirelessly on every aspect of my properties, from researching rental rates to making sure that all of my leases were air-tight. And throughout it all, they kept me updated on everything that was going on so that I never felt out of the loop. In short, Nomadic delivered everything they promised, and more. If you need help managing your properties, I highly recommend giving Nomadic a shot! You won't be disappointed.
Jordan Green: I rented a property from Nomadic at the start of 2020 and just moved out last month. The whole process was super easy, from applying online to submitting maintenance requests. The team is also very responsive, which I really appreciate. Matt in particular was always so helpful and took care of everything we needed. I'm really happy with my experience with Nomadic and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a hassle-free rental experience.
Elias Welsh: I've been a landlord for almost a decade now, and in that time I've worked with a lot of different property management companies. I can say without a doubt that Nomadic Real Estate is the best of the bunch. Working with Ray has been a pleasure, but the team in general is always quick to respond to any issues that arise, and they go above and beyond to make sure the tenants are happy. They even helped me find new tenants when my last ones moved out unexpectedly. I would highly recommend them to any landlord looking for a great property management company in the DC area.
Amanda Chavers: Just moved in to the property December 1st the pipe under the kitchen sink is leaking water washing machine does not work and has yet to be fixed tub faucet fell off when we tried to use it and the tub is backed up as well do not rent properties under there management and if you do make sure to thoroughly inspect everything!!!!!! Even if the appliances are new!! Also unit was not cleaned before we moved in, and I was told that it would be. I have reported all these issues and I have yet to get a response as to when it will be fixed. I wish I could rate them with a zero!!!!!! 12/20/21 Since this first review was posted I was reached out to by one of the owners of this company regarding my unit I wish that it would not have taken a unpleasant review to get this response but I still appreciated it. Overall I still would not recommend renting from this company, take your time and read the reviews from the tenants if I had done that I would not be in this situation now there responsiveness is subpar overall. I still need the light in my bedroom fixed and the sink and tub drain very slowly and I was told that’s as good as it will get on the plumbing situation because the pipes are old and corroded. I honestly can say that the maintenance men that came to my house after my review were great, but that’s about it…This is late but I ended up cleaning the unit myself and the owner thanked me for doing it…that was so offensive
Response: Hi Amanda, I'm really sorry to hear about your experience. We take all feedback very seriously and will be reaching out to you privately so we ensure that the maintenance team that came out was able to fix everything.
Shawn Evans: It's been a pleasure to work with the Nomadic team this past month. I’ve always lived in apartments until now, so this new landlord experience is amazing. They're professional and personable, always available when needed but never overbearing or in your way - just generous spirits that make me feel at ease knowing they have my back as a new renter. The property managers Julie & Connor showed up to our on-site meeting on-time, which is something I really appreciated. I can't say enough good things regarding these amazing people...If you're looking for someone reliable who'll maintain clean, healthy spaces while building strong connections within the community, look no further than Nomadic Real Estate.
Response: Thanks for the kind words Shawn, we're happy to hear you enjoyed your experience with Nomadic. We are always looking for ways to improve our service and make it even better - feedback like yours is invaluable in helping us do that. We'll be sure to pass on your comments about Julie & Connor's professionalism and punctuality to them as well as their manager so they can continue delivering a great customer experience!
Shelley Thornton: We’ve been working with Jenna for 2 years now, and can’t say enough about how happy we are as landlords. Not a single payment has come in late, and no issues have gone unsolved. Great customer service deserves a great recommendation.

Roost DC: what do users think?
Claire Stein-Ross: Roost has managed our condo building for a little more than 4 years and has been a huge upgrade over our previous management company. In particular, we've been really happy with Jason Lewis as our property manager and primary point of contact. We've had a number of complex building issues and Jason has been a great partner to the board and has dedicated so much time and energy to our building and needs. Beyond their regular management services, I also appreciate that Roost provides regular trainings and other educational resources for association board members.
Kathy Johnson: I have had the pleasure of working with Colin Gordon at the Roost-dc on several occasions as a roofing vendor to help with their properties roofing needs. I find Colin to be professional and extremely detailed in the information he provides to help us locate and resolve problems. We look forward to continuing to build our working relationship with Colin and the entire Roost-dc team. Thank you Colin, for your professionalism and helping us help you.
Sam Lewis: I've been a vendor for Roost DC for 5 years and they've been a pleasure to work with. Colin Gordon and other members on their team are quick to communicate and are very helpful with coordinating repairs in the buildings they manage. They treat their vendors and clients with respect which is a core value we share.
Steve Leinwand: In the 19 years that our condo building has been downtown DC, we have had 4 different management firms. It is easy to assert that, for the past 3 years, Roost has been by far the most helpful, responsive and competent. Our property liaison, Jason Lewis, knows our building, knows our Board, and consistently meets our needs and supports our work.
Omar Haleem: I've been working with Roost DC as a vendor since last year and my experience with the company has been excellent. Colin Gordon has been especially helpful and very easy to work with. He always answers when I need him and quickly problem solves any issues that arise.
Paul Feser: As a board member for our condo, I’ve had a very positive experience working with Jason Lewis, Director of Client Success, and Nancy Salgado, Client Experience Assistant. We chose Roost in the fall of 2021; during this time, they worked with the board in transitioning from our prior property management company. Jason has been quite helpful: guiding the board through the budget process, helping us better understand the governing documents and board processes, providing the board with advice, and working with vendors to get bids. Being on any board can be a challenge. And Jason brings the experience – and the knowledge base – that I find both helpful and heartening. I’m very happy with Nancy’s prompt responses on my requests. Her communications are always professional and cordial. For instance, just recently we were experiencing an issue with our laundry room. In her response, she offered a solution to help guide the direction we should take. Nancy also updated the board on an issue with garbage/recycling pickup, and the steps Roost took to have them provide better service. Additionally, Nancy has been responsive on requests that I’ve made for my own unit. As an added benefit of being with Roost, I just had the opportunity to participate in one of their trainings. They have both online and live sessions. What I learned will be useful in my role as a board member. And I plan to attend other sessions. In summary, with Roost, I’ve found a level of professionalism and responsiveness that is impressive. Importantly, I know that they will take good care of us. I am very happy that we chose Roost and I look forward to working with their team in the coming years. Paul Feser
Whitney Catterton: To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to recommend Colin Gordon, Emily Servais, and Daphne Coates and their company Roost DC for their Property Management expertise and their exceptional customer service to future prospective clients. Our company has had the sincere pleasure of working directly with Roost DC and the team members mentioned on a number of projects. We can recommend their company and him highly and without reservation. We were originally introduced to Roost DC based a few years ago as when Emily Servais began the initial partnership with ESSI. As a result, we built a long-term partnership helping her and the Roost team deliver the security needs and services We were so pleased with their company’s attention to detail, quality, and overall dedicated partnership between communities and their vendors. They have built such a great sense of trust that we have continued to partner with them on a number of occasions.

Kim: Based on my experience with Roost , DC. as a condo owner I can honestly say I am very pleased.after all these years. Like a security blanket or guardian angel, it is great to know this management company responsibly handles the finances, paying bills and even keep a data base of companies to perform any work on your property-please note this data base is not just based on their experience as a management company, but also reommedations from actual people like me whose condos have had a positive experience as well. It is important to note, Roost D.C. really has your back if you have come to any issues with a company your condo or building is doing business with (i.e. deck repair, grass cutting), they ensure the “proper paperwork” is “in place” prior to service ((i.e payment method) and is extremely responsive to assist you with any negative issue from a company servicing your condo\building even reaching out to them on behalf of “the tenants\owners. Most of all, it is beyond awesome that Roost D.C. is familiar and update to date with knowledgeable about the rules an regulations governing condos in D.C.-this makes a big difference. And that is say #ROOSTDCROCKS
Grace Kranstover: If I could give zero stars, I would. Roost doesn't seem to care about your building if you're an owner, let alone a tenant renting from an owner in the building they manage. We have never received a prompt response from management. We've had issues with trash collection, our call box not working, rats in the back, etc. and each time they have taken weeks to address the issue. I don't understand what the point of having a building liaison is when they are so unresponsive to issues and cannot address the simplest issues. If you have a choice, do not use Roost. Don't waste your time.
Kevin Warr: After bad experiences with three previous management companies, our condo association board hired Roost about 4 years ago to manage our 39 unit condo building in Washington, DC. Since then, we have been extremely happy with Roost. We have found them to be professional, responsive, proactive, communicative, and efficient. They provide great value for money. Additionally, our Senior Client Experience Manager, Daphne Coates, has been excellent to work with. She is knowledgeable, communicates frequently, is responsive and a pleasure to work with. I'd happily recommend both Roost and Ms. Coates.

Dawn Michelle: I love East Potomac Park aka Hains Point. I grew up in DC and this has always been one of my favorite places in the DMV. I'm here several times throughout the year
Tyler Fondren: I am a new tenant, and throughout the process of touring, applying, lease signing, and moving in, I have experienced incredible responsiveness. Despite my many questions, Tasha has consistently gotten back to me with timely guidance, and at no point have I felt alone in the process. I’ve had issues with rental companies in the past, so I greatly appreciate the peace of mind that comes with such knowledgeable, professional, and readily available support. I hope that my experience thus far is indicative of the coming year’s lease, and if so, I have good reason to be optimistic!
Nikko Reese: I called the corporate office this morning, November 16, 2021, about 8:20am, and I was greeted by a woman who was not very pleasant. I called regarding an urgent matter, and politely asked "for help." This woman was very short-tempered, unemphatic, and rude! I was surprised! at how rude she was; therefore, I asked for her name, and she hung up the phone. I called to report similar patterns of unprofessionalism where I live. Hopefully, this comment is read, and that she is reminded that her role is essential! People are calling that number for help, and she is the first person people will speak to. She should be proud to hold such a position, representing the lead office.
Tianna Jones: They don’t answer your concerns about the issues you’re having within the complex you live. But they want rent money due to them on time every month. They show no compassion nor concern for their residents. It’s the lack of care, concern, proper communication. I wish I could give them negative 100 as a rating. No one ever reaches back out. It’s ridiculous!!! You call you email and NO ONE REACHES BACK OUT! It’s disgusting!
Bei Heir: They don't care about keeping inside of the apartments clean. Will sweep but barely mop up the dirt on floors. It would be helpful if neighbors did their part to keep outside of their doorways clean... that's just not what we're dealing with these days lol
Simon Heuberger: I lived in Glover Park in DC in a shared 1-bedroom with den for the past 3 years. Overall, it was a hugely pleasant experience. The lease signing was quick and straight-forward. Replacing roommates was easy as well. The landlord was quick to make any repairs or to respond to any requests. Especially the maintenance guys (Santos and his crew) are fantastic! The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was the sometimes somewhat muddled up handling of rent payments. We were erroneously charged late fees, payments didn't show up in the online system; that kind of thing. Not huge by any means, it just meant we had to consistently double-check things. A little annoying, but not the end of the world. I would definitely live there again!
J P: I do not live at one of their properties. And won't, now. I applied for a studio apartment the first week of June. Their management asked for financial records which I supplied. I was very clear that my restaurant had closed due to Covid-19 and that I was receiving UI benefits and had not collected a pay check from the restaurant since back pay was issued to me in April. I supplied my UI payment record. I confirmed that I was returning to work 6.12.2020. On 6.16.2020 I was asked for a current pay stub. This is poor management, at best. How could i possibly produce a pay stub when i haven't worked for even a week after returning to work? Why would you not state up front, as soon as I produced my last checks and unemployment record that I would be ineligible? I was denied a lease, obviously. After reading the **long long long** history of poor reviews of this company I won't be surprised when they're ran up on housing discrimination charges or corruption charges of some sort or someone files a class action suit against them. Seriously awful communication by a company that manages a lot of property in DC. If you want to live in a place ran by unprofessional people this is the place for you!
Thomas Prentiss: Im at Fairway Park, the area is nice and we done had some major changes in the rental office that when you build it they will come is true harder working staff,better grounds keeping and on time call backs is a plus in my book for any place. The office staff is better but don't cross them they will have it for you. You call with a problem and it's done in a timely matter. Since this covid problem they have done the best of any property could do to make sure of safety and health to others. I have had things done to my unit that show they care. this is way i'm changing my post to 5 star, for the great change of fairway
Joaquin Goquiolay: I lived on 4020 Calvert St in early to mid 2019. It's the perfect place for students or those starting out their careers (at the time, I was starting a new job out of college). I had signed on through a roommate who had been living there. NaTasha, who's with WC Smith, was EXTREMELY helpful in clarifying the process and walking us through. I was very happy. The company is no luxus brand, but its staff are responsive to tenant needs, rents are perfectly reasonable, contracts straight forward, and no bells and whistles. I'm happy to have worked with WC Smith. Their listings are just right for us 20-somethings :)
Racquel “Scrumptuosity” Hill: Had the horrible displeasure of living in Manor Village for almost 2 years. During my time there I was broken into--TWICE. Management knows for YEARS that the A/C unit outside wire boxes combined with the ledge around every building is a welcome sign for people looking to burglarize you. There was ALWAYS a mice problem. My neighbors warned me as they lived there for almost 9 years at the time that the mouse problem was BAD. I was just thinking they were old, disgruntled residents. Not even a month after moving in did I see that the mice were the actual residents of the property. They lured me into signing the lease by assuring me that extermination was done every Friday. That was hardly true. You could be put on "the list for extermination" which was done on Fridays. Doesn't mean that your place will be exterminated weekly. Then, upon battling Rent issues with the Rental Office (who if you owe $20 will leave a BIG RED sign on your door) I felt they were entirely TOO aggressive with collecting rent. One Property Manager came to my door asking about my late rent payment while inquiring about how I had my hair done but hadn't paid the rest of my rent. This is COMPLETELY unprofessional. The Leasing Agent that assisted me, because I managed a popular urban shoe store at the time, asked me to buy him a pair of expensive New Balance shoes in exchange for "making sure I was approved". (I thought this was ludicrous) After being approved and not buying him the shoes, he was very rude to me and wouldn't speak to me when I saw him on the property. This company has been having problems for a long time. They don't hold their employees accountable for anything other than meeting "lease goals". This is unfortunate because the residents should be the priority but to this company they are a burden. Even when I was evicted (for not paying my rent because in court they said that my apt must be rid of mice or I don't have to pay, but Manor Village acted like sending one exterminator out would fix the problem so they told the court that they did their part) when applying for my current apartment the receptionist at the desk was very rude about sending over my resident history form. She was not only rude to me but to the Apartment Company trying to get the paperwork from them as well. Will NEVER live in another WCSmith property again, I don't care if it's gentrified or not. The business practices of this company at the expense of low-income individuals is disgusting!

Valerie Blake: Leonard Ellen is a great property manager for small and mid-size condo complexes. He keeps finances on track and responds quickly to the needs of tenants and associates alike.
Yolanda Pauling: Leonard is unprofessional and only cares about collecting your condo fees. If you live within the property that he oversees and you have issues such as package thefts and criminal activities inside and outside of your immediate condo building, he will not assist you. It will be left up to the renters and condo owners to try and fix it. Although he guaranteed to channel communications and resolve issues for all his clients within a timely manner; this is not the case. He does not provide quarterly financial integrity reports as he claims in his bio, you will only receive it at the end of the year for which is too late to question or investigate by the condo homeowners.
Robert Leary: Linear is a great property management company. Leonard is super responsive, helpful, and fair. He gets things done promptly and has significantly reduced our costs.
Fred Harris: Leonard is one of the most reliable and friendly people I have worked with, his desire to stand up for me in situations has shown he is more about character than profit. The people in the building love his attention to detail and the rate at which he replies.

Chatel Real Estate: what do users think?
Katrina Breidenbach: I have rented a property managed by Chatel for about two years. They have always been responsive to maintenance requests. They are very professional and have someone on call for emergencies.
Nathan Castine: My girlfriend and I worked with Lou and could not be happier. He was incredibly helpful from the start, helping us identify factors we did/ didn’t want in our future home as well as utilizing our future goals for the property in his searches. He was quick to respond even after hours (within reason) and would always give us an honest take on the property rather than trying to close the deal. He was great at keeping us on task and assisted through every step required. The process of buying a home through chatel with Lou was fantastic and would recommend to any friend or family member.
Caroline Bonardi: We worked with Lou Costanza to buy our first condo in DC. From start to finish, Lou guided us through the process with the upmost professionalism and attentiveness. He answered all of our questions (as first time buyers, we had many), he reminded us of deadlines at each stage, and really listened to what we were looking for, what we wanted in a condo, and what price range we were comfortable with. He gave us honest feedback and opinions when we asked and never pushed us or rushed us in our decision. We were so happy with our experience.
Michael OBrien: Positive: Professionalism, ResponsivenessLou sold me my first property in Washington, DC. When it was time to upgrade, he rented out that property for me and sold me the next one. Over time, Lou and the folks at Chatel have helped me build my real estate portfolio, mange and maintain quality tenants. I highly recommend them!
Lisa Ingalls: Lou Costanza handled the recent sale of my cooperative unit in the Dupont Circle area of D.C. I live on the West Coast so needed an agent that I could completely rely on and trust to handle everything for me. Lou is a pleasure to work with and really went “above and beyond” in getting the property ready for sale since I couldn't be there. He really knows the D.C. real estate market and gave me excellent advice in terms of strategy and listing price. I highly recommend Lou to anyone needing an agent!
Albert Vorfaj: Chatel manages my rental property. They are the best management company I’ve ever worked with. Highly recommend !
Sam Beasly: One of my favorite places to live was my old Chatel apartment in Adams Morgan. It was well maintained and reasonably priced.
Daniel Garay: My friend recently had an awful experience dealing with Chatel. Her ceiling collapsed in her apartment and it was definitely preventable - she made urgent maintenance requests that were not addressed promptly, leading to the ceiling collapsing. They even gaslit her, saying they didn’t know what maintenance requests of hers they could take seriously. When someone sends you photos of the ceiling bulging and cracking, that’s an urgent issue that needs to be addressed quickly, not dismissed! I particularly would like to note that Chatel’s property manager Maria Miller was very rude and dismissive of my friend’s situation. I was at my friend’s apartment to help her navigate this situation and came away feeling that Maria was much more focused on her upcoming vacation than providing a good experience for one of her tenants. Maria stated it was “not necessary” for an inspection of the rest of my friend’s apartment to ensure the integrity of the rest of the apartment’s ceiling was not in jeopardy. I recognize that a property management company can’t always be held completely responsible for this type of situation, since often the landlord allows for the property to deteriorate to this point. However, I came away from this experience resolute in my belief that I never want to have any professional relationship with Chatel.
Keller Dahlia: Working with Lou and the folks at Chatel was the best business decision I’ve ever made. A++
Gilbert Watson: In my experience as a tenant, Chatel Real Estate has been a terrible property manager. They refuse to set expectations for or execute on timely repairs. Communication is slow and minimal and issues are not dealt with proactively. I get the sense that they are often annoyed when I ask for quick and timely repairs to my rental unit. I had a leaking ceiling for several months that Chatel failed to fix. The leak went on for so long that mold grew and I and my wife had to vacate the apartment for a couple of days while it was remediated. I now have a leak in my bathroom ceiling that has shorted out the electrics. There’s no end in sight 1.5 weeks in. That’s a long time to shower in the dark. Had I known that Chatel was going to be so ineffective a property manager I never would have signed my lease.
Response: Hi Gilbert, I apologize for your frustration and the stressful situation that you’ve had to undergo. Unfortunately, due to leasing within a condo building, Chatel does not have the authority to spend funds to repair common elements of the building without the approval of the condo association board of directors’ approval, and similarly cannot make your upstairs neighbor move their washer/cabinets, or cooperate with our request to access their apartment to repair the issue. All we can do is try to navigate this situation and get this issue resolved as swiftly as possible despite obstacles. We certainly want to get this completed and get your home put back together as swiftly as possible. We have regularly communicated with you throughout the last few weeks, in an effort to keep you informed about the progress. We do not want to set false expectations or deadlines that we cannot keep, and we understand that it causes uncertainty on your end. We assure you as soon as the underlying issue has been resolved, we will be able to provide you with an end date and we will do our best to swiftly get your bathroom back together. We will continue to provide you with updates as they become available, and work on this issue daily until it's resolved; we will try our best to accommodate your preferred access schedule. Again, we understand that this is a stressful situation to experience in your home, and we want to solve this for you promptly; we hope you can understand our situation. Sarah Keller Operations Manager
