Villages 4 Rent was reasonable and easy to work with.
With that said, I have always found it to be very important to screen my tenants very carefully. I do not want to have problems. I do not want tenants to move in and out on a regular basis. I check references (but whoever can't come up with a decent reference is probaly a real loser), I check the vibe. I have found some great tenants through the above service. But, they just referred prospects to me. The rest was on me...which it should be!
I tried using Down Home once. That was more than enough. They were terrible. They rented my place for less than what i asked for. As an out of town landlord, I thought I needed a property manager. They failed that test. They were not responsive to telephone calls. They were not responsive to emails. But, they did take their share of the rent money. I would NEVER recommend Down Home to anyone...whether they be landlord or tenant!
