As an owner of a rental property managed by Huneyc...

As an owner of a rental property managed by Huneycutt Realtors I have nothing but wonderful things to say about them. I normally don't take the time to review a company but in this case I had to speak up and say something after reading some of these reviews. I want to take a minute to defend Huneycutt and explain the other side of the property management. Huneycutt Realtors have managed my rental property since 2002. As an owner of a property Huneycutt will contact me at various times to notify me that the tenant has mentioned that a repair be made to my home. Most of the time I am okay with the tenant request and I go ahead and make the repair. I have at times flat out refused to pay to fix something in my home and Huneycutt had to tell the tenant no. This is not Huneycutt Realtors fault, this was my decision as the owner to not make the repair and they were the ones that had to deliver the news. I pay them each month to manage my property and to be the middle man between myself and the tenant and to handle any problems that arise. They do not own my home and they are not responsible for doing anything but doing their best to guarantee that my home not be destroyed by a tenant. They do not pay for any repairs made to the home. Each owner pays for 100% of the repairs and unfortunately some homeowners just don't have the money to make every repair a tenant requests. This is not Huneycutts fault, this is a lack of financial responsibility of the homeowner. I also would like to point out that inside of every rental contract it states that when you moved in the property you were being guaranteed door locks that no one else would have a key to because it was recently rekeyed. You are told upfront you will have to pay to rekey the property for the next person and that you will pay to clean the carpet. If more people would actually read the document they sign before signing it there would be less complaining in the world. And finally I feel compelled to add that it seems that some people think that when they rent a property it means that they don't have to be responsible adults and take care of their home.....AT ALL! Some think they can disrespect another's property just because they are paying a payment to live there. I guess I am old school and was raised to treat someone else's property better than I would my own.

I am sure at some point someone reading this is going to think I work for Huneycutt so I will go ahead and address that right now. I currently do not work for Huneycutt Realtors. I did work there for four years before leaving for my current job which I have been with for 14 years. I have never worked in the property management department there but I watched what was really going on and more than half the time the tenant was at fault and not willing to take responsibility for their own error. So I hope when people read all of these bad reviews they will also take into account that most of the time it isn't Huneycutts problem directly and it might be the owner they represent problem. I often say you don't get to pick your clients but you have to do your best to represent your client the best you can.
