The Athens Real Estate Company

Horrible experience. Rented us a house uninhabitable (paint peeling off walls, holes in floors, no smoke alarms installed) Lydia Patterson ignored my calls and emails for 2 days. Had to speak to the owner, Russell, to get out of the lease and get refund. I was denied a walk through before moving in because of Covid and the video they sent did not show any of the damages. Would give 0 stars if possible.

I bought my first house last year through Becky Mount at The Athens Real Estate Company and she was awesome! She worked with me to understand what I was really looking for, my price range, and things that I would like to have but was willing to compromise on. She always answered or responded to my phone calls quickly and never hesitated to visit homes with me on short notice, even when we knew they maybe weren't going to be a good fit. There was never any pressure to make an offer and she was committed to continuing to look for a place until we found what I wanted. I was on a very low budget but my realtor always treated me like I was buying a million-dollar home, focused on ensuring that I would be happy with my purchase. I could not have asked for an easier or more pleasant experience in buying my first home!

I lived in 32 E state street apt 1 and my experience there was awful. The apartment had a field mice problem because one of the doors was cut off at the very bottom and left a large gap to the middle of the door. The window A/C unit provided didn’t work initially and I had to repair it for it to work and it still was making a very loud noise I couldn’t get to stop. The heating and A/C barely even worked for the entire house. The bathroom door came cracked and looked like it was about to break at any moment. The paint on the ceilings will be sure to fall off too if you take too many showers. The maintenance people also were coming in without my permission or a notice at first and did for a while until I finally complained and started getting email notifications before people would just walk in while I was in bed and such. You won’t get any trash service at all while living here as well. I didn’t have a trash can or anything for 6 months and was forced to take it somewhere else and when we did have a trash can it was always full even when I didn’t contribute any trash myself. The landlords barely care about this property and overcharge for a terrible Apartment and service. I highly recommend not living here.

Liz was absolutely the best to work with especially considering I was making a purchase during a pandemic. She was in constant contact and I could not have made a better choice

Literally, they listed my home and forgot about it. I had to call in to check after showings. Secretary calls to schedule showings. I met my realtor 2 x. Once to list it and again when he picked up his signs after unlisting. He called once to ask me to pay for advertising! In our situation, they were not aggressive to work to sell my property.
