We used this company to rent out our properties, things were great at first until we actualy sat down to review the statements that we were getting back from them. Needless to say, you should take your time and read their contracts very carefully, you'll find that this company finds more ways to charge you and keep you locked than the cellular giants. Unfortunatley for us, we were in the middle of finals, my wife runs her own business, a home renovation and planning a wedding.
To give you an idea about this company, they charge you a $1 fee for ACH deposit. That's right... $1.00. They don't consider it cost of operating or INCLUDE it into the 10% fee they're already gouging you for.
To begin with, it turns out that not everything is included in your "Half of 1 month's rent to rent out your property". Which on a $1,600 property is $800 to put up a craigslist ad and hire someone to install a sign. A sign we never asked for and yet were still charged $30 for. Then they had told us that a secondary retainer on the property was not required as they already had a deposit from a previous property. Yep, you guessed it, they kept another $300 for the second property. Then they add in the agreement that you cannot cancel with them within the first 6 months or you forfeit your $300 deposit. So if you're upset with them, you have a 6 month cool down period or you can acknowledge a bad investment and cut your losses.
We chose to cut our losses.
I would highly recommend to everyone that they check out all of their options before letting these people anywhere near your property. They don't even really manage anything as you can see from all of the tenant complaints and the way they ding you with all of the fees, I would not be surprised if they are close to filing bankruptcy.
I personally recommend SJC Management Group in Sumner. They were clear and upfront about all of the fees and since they felt so badly about our experience with Integrity (they obviously use that term very loosely) Property Manangement Group, they even waived all of our fees to move over. They also offer much, MUCH more and for less, while being much more professional than what we experienced with this company.
