McCormack Baron Companies Review

I have lived in my apartment for 9 years and the management is horrible. I ve had to paint, replace my own carpeting, and hiring handymen to fix up stuff because the men they have hired for maintenance at the complex all says that they don t know how to fix things?!? For example my garbage disposal was clogged up and I requested help twice and the maintenance guy said he can t fix it and wouldn t even come to my unit to check it out so I hired a handy man from Craigslist that charged me $135 to come check it out and all he had to do was press a red button under the sink to reset the motor and problem solved. Next issue... Stolen rent checks! They only hire staff from temp agencies so we haven t had a real manager in 5-6 years since Coltyce Sanders in which he was fired for calling out the regional manager at the time for taking tenants rental checks straight from the drop box. I have had to make three police reports over the years for my checks being cashed in fraud. Also I have had several vandalism s situations which forced me to sell my car because of being so frustrated with my car insurance going up to hire rates because of the neglect of the staff onsite. I park d my car directly in front of the office where cameras are located and when I went to the office to complain about vandalism from possible neighbors they ( temps not real staff) would ask me to fill out a report and they would pull the footage. They would dodge my calls and emails for months until I got the police to pay the office a visit and then the police got access to the footage in which they made several arrest. The owners should be ashamed of themselves and there greed because most people here really have no other options and are being taken advantage of because of there economic situations.

Whom ever is in charge of front desk or call directory has a unpleasant tone of voice and a bunch of attitude sometimes it's not what was said it's how you say it. Needs better knowledge of company and how to smpythize with the customer .

Said I didn't return a key, lies ,charge me a month I wasn't there ,they dont care about people, the community next time il check Google reviews before I rent a place.

I lived in a house owned by these people my health is not good from toxic mold

Hello I was approved for an apt months ago and expected to move in on July 31st and today is August 3rd and still being given the runaround. I ve emailed Head Quarters and Renaissance Pl and was told by Kourtney Williams that the Supv didn t approve the rent only to find out she was the Manager and know one would give me any information at all to who approves rent so I can contact them. The process has been going on since the middle of May I ve signed all necessary paperwork needed and was approved months ago. I have hired movers and and have been living out of bags and boxes because everything was packed for my anticipated move on the 31st of July. Not only has it cost me money and my sanity, but it also caused me to loose my deposit at the place I m still residing. I will not give up, it is wrong and inhuman to treat a ppl this way when we re already in the middle of a pandemic. I will continue to contact whom ever I need to get this cleared up Immediately.

I just called Quality Hill Apartments to inquire about leasing at your site. I saw it while I was in KC for Superbowl Weekend. I am a Realtor in Dallas, and I also run the social media for the largest med spa in DFW. I went on your website to try and download an application. I was able to do just that. It was for income restricted. I called and spoke with Jillian, and I inquired about unit 101, to which she was rude and said that there are a lot 101's in her apartments, and honestly was a bit hostile for no reason. I tried to explain to her my position and my frame of reference. I saw it on a giant sign outside of Mexican Food restaurant last Saturday night. Then I tried to explain that the only application that is online is for income restricted. She started yelling at me about how to spell the website and that you have not been income restricted for 25 years and if I wanted that, she could give me a referral. She was rude because she thought I was income restricted, which I am NOT. I was just as emphatic back at her though I did not tell her that I make way more than enough money to qualify for your apartment. She called me crazy and hung up on me. I called her back, and she again told me that she would only talk to me if did not sound crazy, and then she hung up on me again. I had her on speaker phone, and my husband was listening. My voice is weak and horse because I cheered the team on to victory in the streets of KC. I would NEVER lease from your company, and I intend to follow up by posting this on every social media site I can think of, and I know them all. Her actions were rude, hostile, discriminatory and just straight up hurt my feelings. No one deserves to be spoken to with that level of disdain.

This is a horrible place I gave it no Star if i can

Takes weeks to reply to an email then ghosts me. Has wasted a lot of my time and energy trying to communicate where my security deposit is. Had to hire a lawyer to deal with them. Property Manager was Jessie Diaz in FL.

I stayed in the renaissance for over 10 years they are unprofessional they have no morals values or integrity. They lie they steal and they also ask the tenant for things for themselves. Mccormack and Baron do not care about their employees And the employees do not have common sense enough to know that they have to live with these peoples. These are the people that they will see at the store in the doctors office and even on the bus stop. be careful of Who toes you step on you never know you might see him again.

I live in a complex just bought by a McCormack Baron in Ann Arbor, MI. This year my rent is going up a whopping $285 or 33% with 30-60 days notice VS $10-$20 for the decade I have lived here. New management does not care that they are losing long term tenants. I have a meticulous record of paying rent for the decade I've lived here. I've never been late once yet they would rather see me leave, flip my apartment and take a chance on some other tenant. The windows need to be replaced and always have yet new management informed me that they are not investing in Lakestone. The ceiling in my apartment has leaked 5 times in the last year due to my upstairs neighbor but I've been told to live with it. The location is nice and maintenance is great but management could care less about us. I'm getting absolutely nothing but a 33% rent increase. My apartment has been untouched for 8-9 years but when I asked for the upgrades that other apartments have, management tells me " The ownership isn't planning on any type of renovation to the apartments at Lakestone at this time". Run as fast as you can away from this company and any place it runs.

No one has gotten back to me about the reissue of my security deposit check! My emails have been ignored along with my calls! It is going on a month and a half and still no one has gotten back to me. It is really frustrating and unprofessional to ignore people. But I guess it's what to be expected when it took a year and a half to properly get my stove fixed when I lived at North Sarah. Your company hires horrible management personnel!

This company took over a relatively decent building of 240 apartments. They ran it into the ground in less than a year. They have absolutely NO interest in running a clean, honest establishment. Each individual in the office tells a different story or excuse. I was told toxic mold was pet dander from my cats. Don t waste your efforts on this company or any properties they own!

horrible horrible! They will give you the run around for weeks nearly months regarding your security deposit! I would Never rent though this company ever again. I've called them constantly each week regarding my deposit each time all they did was take down my information and never gave me a call back! the last receptionist (Tamra C.) I spoke with on 6/4/19 had the worst attitude when I asked to speak with manager regarding the issue. I've never experienced this kind of service ever! I paid rent on time sometimes early at my apartment not sure why they're screwing me over when it's time to pay me back. HORRIBLE
