Disappointing Experience
Many renters have had issues with Athens Real Estate Company, ranging from poor maintenance to unprofessional staff. The company's priorities seem to be focused more on profits than on providing a good living experience for its tenants.
Neglect
Several reviewers have reported issues with maintenance, including leaks, flooding, and unaddressed repairs. One reviewer was without water for five days and had to beg the front desk for assistance. Others have mentioned that maintenance visits occurred without notice, and issues were often ignored.
Unhelpful Staff
Reviews have criticized the company's staff for being unresponsive, unhelpful, and even apologetic. One reviewer was told that the company didn't have time to complete inspections or cleaning before move-in, and that it was expected due to the property being in a flood zone.
Lack of Accountability
Renters have felt that the company has not taken responsibility for its mistakes. One reviewer was left to deal with water damage and had to pay for the additional electricity usage of fans placed in the property.
Poor Communication
Communication has been a major issue for many renters. One reviewer was not informed of previous flooding or pump issues, and another was not consulted about planned maintenance visits.
Dilapidated Properties
Reviewers have described the properties as being in poor condition, including issues with plumbing, fixtures, and even sewage odors.
