Egl Properties Management

Be Careful

by AlanL at Citysearch

I once considered working with EGL Properties to help manage my properties but I found my interactions with them to be less than appealing. First, even after I specifically told them what I wanted in terms of services they tried to convince me to add on the services I didn't want. What's with that? Second, I also realized from their agreements and other paperwork that if you are a "small" customer they will still present the same charges and fees as if you are a "big" customer. As most real estate experts should tell you, there usually is significantly less work involved in managing, for example, a single family house than an apartment building. EGL properties doesn't really seem to provide flexibility for differences like this which is bad news for new and early property owners. If you are a more experienced property owner, you will probably discover that hiring your own managers will tend to be more cost effective than having EGL properties take a cut from your rent collection. In conclusion, I would like to stress that this is only my opinion. I just wanted to give a warning to prospective clients to exercise due diligence and rely on their common sense. I would also agree with the comment made by "kp" that the five star comments are highly suspicious because let's be honest, who in the world is that excited about a property management company? Come on. Remember to be smart and verify the facts. Good Luck.

• Pros: Website

Avoid worst property management company I have dealt with

by kp at Citysearch

I made the mistake of becoming a tenant of an apartment managed by EGL Properties and it has been a terrible experience in every way.

Every single time I have tried to contact anyone from EGL Properties it has taken them between 48 hours and 4 weeks to reply (and this is across at least 15 interactions). They take weeks or months to send out maintenance people for any and all kinds of service requests and then those people usually do very shoddy work (except one in particular who was fantastic).

By the way, the other reviews on here are incredibly suspicious since all 9 of them are perfect 5 stars and yet almost every reviewer has only ever written 1 review and half of their names all end in 1234 or 125. By comparison, check another notable local review site which has 3 low ratings similar to mine and one 5 star review also written by a suspicious reviewer. Very sad that EGL puts this much effort into misleading prospective clients when they should put it into taking care of their current customers.

• Pros: None
• Cons: Horrible slow service, outright lies & lack of communication
