Tried to place on offer on one of his houses, but the counter-offer refused to consider offers financed by Chase Bank unless I submitted non-refundable money. When I obtained a second pre-qualification from another lender (Quicken), was told that this company was unacceptable as well. Guess he doesn't want to sell the houses he represents - too bad, my counter offer was full price. The seller never even got to see it - I didn't have the 'right' lender. ...read more

This place sucks to high hell. We lived there for 4 years without many problems THEN in April 2012 new management took over and they don't know their butts from a hole in the ground! They try so hard to act like they are your friend as they lie to your face. Had may satallite dish removed even with written approval, they over charged me pet rent because they failed to keep up on their contracts (as they threatend to evict me, got some of my over payments returned), they stopped fixing things that needed fixed like our air conditioner in July and the fridge that barely worked. Had to file with the BBB and if you look them up they are now under review for ignoring my requests to fix major problems. Put my rent into escrow because they refused to repair anything. They refuse to answer you when you complain becasue they know most people don't have the time or $ to fight them. During our 5 years we never miss a rent payment, was late on a payment, or had any complains against us. They mistreat ther good tenants just to make way for new ones. Bugs are everywhere adn they argue with you when you complain about them. Orkin "sprays every year" and the problem gets worse. Avoid this place like the plague! These are the biggest a-holes in teh industry and they are part of a huhe property management company. Wallick Properties never rent from them peroid. If you live at Stoney Creek and have for a couple of years with a pet I garentee they owe you$ for pet rent over payments! Will be starting the class actin lawsuite very soon for anyone else that has been taken advantage of by these rip off artists! ...read more
