Dogwood Property Management LLC

Dave managed my rental property for a couple of years and I found him to be very responsive to both me and my tenant.

Overall, my experience with Mr. Hight was very negative and I found him to be very unprofessional. While, initially, he was very friendly and personable, over the term of our agreement he failed to provide services as outlined in our agreement. 1. My tenant often did not pay the rent on time. Mr. Hight never would never inform me that the rent was going to be late. If I had not received the rent by the 10th, I had to contact him and ask about the status of the rent. I also often had to request that he follow-up with the tenant to check on the status of the rent. There were also times when the tenant did pay on time, and I still did not receive my monies by the 10th. On the most recent occasion, I had to make repeated requests for my monies, before finally receiving the rent on the 20th of the month. 2. Mr. Hight had service done on my HVAC service on two occasions. I was only able to receive a receipt for one of the services, and this was only after multiple requests. 3. On more that one occasion Mr. Hight made accounting errors, resulting in me receiving less than what I was owed. These errors were corrected, once I caught them and pointed them out. 4. The biggest failure came when my tenant moved out at the end of last month. He moved out without providing proper notice, owing back rent, and left the property in need of repairs and significant maintenance. it wasn't until I requested that Mr. Hight forward me the security deposit to cover my losses, that I was informed by Mr. Hight that he had never collected a security deposit. At no time, prior to this, had I been informed by Mr. Hight that he failed to collect the security deposit from the tenant. His failure to perform, directly resulted in my incurring an additional financial loss. 5. Lastly, I have made repeated requests that Mr. Hight provide me with a copy of the tenant's application, the tenant's lease. the tenant's keys, and Mr. Hight's keys. All of these requests have been ignored. Based on my experiences, I can not in good faith recommend that anyone hire Mr. Hight to manage their property.

He receives 10% commission and I've been using him since last July. It's been a really good experience working with him, he's very personable, and I think he talks to you more as a person and less as a business associate. So his tone is one that is trying to help you.

Dave has been a fantastic property manager for us. We are long distance landlords, and Dave handles all the details for us. He responds quickly to any of our renter's issues. He has personally handled several repairs for us, including some pretty involved plumbing issues. Repairs are first rate and his prices are reasonable. He keeps me informed of all needed work via email, phone and text, and texts me pictures of any of the repair work needed. Rent checks are sent to us regularly, and on time. We are very fortunate to have found him.

The service has been good. He does a good job. We have not really had any issue's at this point.

He went out to look at a rental property to remodel but said it was too far from his base which is 10 miles away. He complained about having to answer the calls for his properties he was managing. I felt after that he wasn't the right person for management.

We had a phone conversation only.

Updated March 21,2013. Let me reiterate David I never said we didn't know about the dogs. We didn't know about the fourth person moving in with their dog because your emails never stated so and your reason for the dog was because the tenants mom had to get rid of it-never because a fourth person moved in and had a dog. We did not know about this person until we went to our home to do an inspection. You never sent us a second lease once they signed it. I am sure you never did because you did not want us to know at that time that you LIED to us. In fact I had to get the lease from the tenant after the fact, so why do you think we always put you out? You never did your d*** job is why!!!! And also if you read my first post we ONLY kept you on the second year because we missed the deadline to fire you the first time, Heck I would have fired you the first month if it wasn't for having to buy you our of your contract. You may feel you made things right with my husband but the one you treated like s*** the whole time with awful correspondence you never attempted to make things right with...hence this review. My husband may have been nice to you on the phone but I can guarantee you his opinion of how you treated us is the same as how I feel and why you turned me into such a hateful person towards yourself. We hired this company due our out of state move. The communication skills were always lacking. Due to numerous rude emails that upset me we advised him several times to go through my husband for contact because I was tired of being treated awful in emails which then turned me into an angry person stooping to his level and sending out hateful emails back. I have never had a person make me this angry in my entire life all because he never gave us the respect that paying customers deserve-so we never gave him any respect back either. Our personalities just clashed. Rent was never deposited on time per our contract and after several times of asking him we always got the response of it was how the "weekend fell" or the tenants were late-unbeknownst to him we kept in contact frequently with the tenants due to not being able to trust this company any longer. So we knew when rent was sent and taken out of the tenants account. He okayed things with the tenants that were never okayed by us. We also flew cross country to do an inspection of the house because he didn't keep up his end of the contract and did not do any inspections of our property through out the term of the lease. During this inspection we found things he okayed with them and not us like an over 18 tenant living in the house. He then lied and said he emailed and had our ok about this. I saved every email and text correspondence and no word was ever mentioned about an additional person moving into the property. We also heard via neighbors that they had 4 dogs living at the house which was not in the agreement-we questioned him about this and he lied and said there were not four dogs in the house. Then when the lease renewal came up he suddenly asked us if they could have 4 dogs........ I think he figured since we lived so far away that we would never be back to check on our home or find out about things. The only reason we used him longer than one year was because we missed the deadline to terminate his contract the first year. This past year we actually were in contact with our tenants due to knowing we would be terminating this contract. If was stress free dealing directly with the tenants. One example is that we had repairs done to the home-the tenant emailed me the invoice within 48 hours of not even having to ask for it-I paid the invoice three weeks before he even received a copy of it. I actually had to ask him for a copy of it-because I figured he had forgotten to do his part of the job especially since at that time he had no idea the bill had been paid. After doing research we found a property management company that has been in business for almost 30 years in the area. They offer more for us and cost less plus they are very reputable. And the best part of this whole agreement was how we could never get him to contact my husband for anything like we asked unless it had to due with him deciding he needed to "Tattle" on me to my husband!

Dogwood Property Management LLC take care of whatever needs to be taken care of with the property. We chose them because their rating was high on Angie's List.

Well, please see above

Overall I am satisfied with David managing my property.

Absolutely satisfied.

feedback Great experience. I picked him based on the positive reviews from here and I can see why. Small one man business committed to his owners. Much better than my other property management company who is too big and has too many properties to really be engaged with my concerns. Highly recommend him.

We heard about them from Angie’s List. We haven’t been working with them for very long. They are to collect the charges from the rent. Their advice has been excellent. This is the first time we are having rental, but I think their price is comparable to what we expected. There weren’t any surprises. I would rate them highly. I will continue using them again in the future.

I signed a property management agreement with David in late December 2011. When the "For Rent" sign went up in the yard, someone approached me to buy the house. David helped me try to sell the house despite the possibility of his losing the future profits from the rental agreement. He did repairs, provided entry to the house and everything else I asked. When the sale fell through, he jumped back on the original plan to rent, and had the place occupied a month earlier than I would have dreamed. I could not be happier that I am doing business with Dogwood Property Management.

I own two residential rental properties and I grew tired of dealing with the headaches of being a landlord. A coworker of mine also has a rental house, and she uses a property management company. She gave me their number. I called David at Dogwood Property Management. He was very knowledgeable about the local rental market. He met me at the house that afternoon and had a tenant within a week. He did all the screening and collected all the funds. He is very professional and an all around nice guy. He is also a licensed home builder in SC, so he does many of the repairs himself for a deeply discounted price. I am so glad I listened to my coworker and called this company. I was also very pleased to learn that he does not charge a finders fee for placing the tenant in my house. I would highly recommend this company!

He went above and beyond. He put in a little guard, so our dog could not dig under the fence and he threw that in. Our neighbors also used him after they saw what a good job he did. He also did decks and he was a landscape designer. He was fabulous and he get all A?s. We were pleased with him. We spent $2500 on that work. He worked around our schedule and he was punctual and very considerate of our timetable.
