'd like to ask for your help in assisting me to collect on payment due to me from Villages of Deerfield Apartments. You see, in 2005, I made my living assisting residents of our city find new homes. Be it an apartment, rental home, or purchasing a home, I was in tow ready to help. I'm a Realtor, and we don't get paid for work, we get paid for results. Much different then folks that sit behind a desk leasing apartments for a property management company. Those folks get paid for just walking in the front door of the property in the morning.
In July of 2005, I had a very sweet couple from New York contact me in to assist them in finding a home in SA. After days of frustrating looking, dead ends, finding out that every home we looked at had just been rented before we could get their application back, running short on time, I personally took them to a very ((what at the time seemed to be)) beautiful apartment community. They took one look at the apartment @ Villages of Deerfield, and decided to lease there, for at least a year while they got aquainted with SA. Hector and Susan Carabello moved in to apartment #1802 on July 15, 2005. Having personally escorting them to this property, and having worked in property management as a leasing agent for 5 years, I knew how vitally important it was to ensure all of my information was on their application for rental so that I could get paid. Everything was verified, and I even called after their move in, prior to sending my invoice for $719, that their move in went smoothly.
It is now almost 2 years later. I've spent several days a month attempting to contact the property management company for payment. Countless hours have been spent on the phone, certified letters sent and signed for, numerous broken promises and empty lies have come on a consistent basis from the corporate office.
At this point, I am fed up. It seems like these people just don't care about their reputation or paying the people that keep their property filled. In a city with over 650 apartment communities, the property management companies rely on Realtors to drive traffic to their properties and keep them filled with tenants.
I have detailed conversations documented from the time of move in through today that I can forward you.
I also beg of you to google both Villages of Deerfield, and MBS properties. You can also visit www.apartmentratings.com and search Villages of Deerfield. If you are like me, you will be sickened by the things that you read. So many unhappy residents, numerous counts of maintenance requests going unattended to. Had I read these things before, I never would have referred my clients to this property.
Please let me know if you can assist me
