Specialized Real Property Management

Had my ups and down dealing with this company. If it weren’t for Jon and Brent this review would be completely different. Every business has its issues, but I do believe they will be working to fix the problems. When you speak with the right people (Jon & Brent for example) you know they do care how they are reviewed and how the business runs which is hard to find these days!

I have been using Specialized Properties to manage my rental property in Cleburne for over a year now. Their thorough application process got me an excellent renter who pays on time and takes care of the yard. All maintenance issues have been taken care of promptly and affordably. My tenant’s lease will be up in February and I called to speak to my property manager about getting the place ready for a quick turn around. He was so helpful and pleasant. I have every reason to believe they will get me more tenants that will be responsible and can afford to pay rent. I am so glad I hired This company.

Let me tell you about both their skills and their character. I fired them in early 2013 as they were simply doing a poor job. I knew they were doing a poor job as I owned another rental house that was being managed by Classic Property Management and the contrast was simply too stark to ignore. So, as said, I fired them.
Subsequently the HOA was sending bills and then late notices to my tenant and to Specialized. A professional firm would have forwarded those to me or to my new property management firm, one that Specialized indicated it knew and would be happy to work with. Silly me, I thought it was all taken care of. I NEVER saw a bill or a late notice although I now know the HOA was sending such notices to Specialized every month.
So last week I received notice that a lien had been placed on the property. Totally out of the blue. Of course I scrambled and got the law firm paid in a day but the damage had been done. Today in the mail I received an envelope from Specialized with letters and certified mail that had been delivered to Specialized in my name. Wow, then and only THEN did Specialized think this might be important enough to send the correspondence to me.
DO YOURSELF A FAVOR. WORK WITH SOMEONE ELSE.

Worst company to lease from ever. PLEASE STAY AWAY!!! The people moving in after us told us the house looked like it was untouched after we cleaned yet they charged us 162 dollars in cleaning services for a 900 sq ft house. They charged us 100 dollars in lawn care after we cut and edged our grass 2 days before move out, and we did not even have grass in our backyard. Beware they are awful to lease from. If I could give less than 1 star I would.
