I wish I read these reviews before signing my year...

I wish I read these reviews before signing my yearlong lease. If you don t have the energy/time to consistently be fighting with your landlord, STAY AWAY. I get the sense that this company makes it bread and butter screwing over college students and veterans who don t have the time/experience to effectively deal with them. Every work order is late, properties receive the bare minimum of maintenance/upkeep to go along with the highest possible rent. The actual Berkley employees range from hapless and ineffectual at best to rude and disrespectful at worst. If you are looking to rent a property in the James City County area, choose another if possible. If berkley is your only option, beware. After you are locked into your lease, the level of service will decline sharply. There is a reason there are so many bad reviews (I also have reason to believe the 5 star reviews are left by Berkley employees or paid for by them).
