5/5
I own several rental properties in the upstate, and I have used many property management companies in the past. Without question, Duncan Property Management is the best property management company that I have used. I have been with them for several years, and for the record, I was not asked to write a review.
Here are some of the reasons why they are the best. First, when they say they are going to do something, they do it. It's surprising how rare this quality is, especially with property managers. In short, they have integrity, which is the most important thing to have in a property manager. Second, they are excellent problem-solvers. In my experience, other property managers that I've used were not nearly as good at solving problems. When this happens, I had to solve the problems on my own, and that gets really old when you're paying someone to do a job. They will work with you to solve issues that may occur. Third, if something needs to get fixed, it gets fixed, and it'll get fixed quickly. They don't cut corners.
Most importantly, they have excellent customer service, and they treat tenants with courtesy, fairness, and kindness. To me, the most important thing is making sure that tenants get treated with fairness and respect. Otherwise, I will not be in business very long. So how do I know that they have great customer service? Every year, I do random, anonymous surveys with my tenants to ask them how things are going. I have about 70 tenants right now, and the level of customer satisfaction is substantially higher with Duncan Property Management than it was with any of the property managers that I have used in the past. In fact, I have had to fire several property managers because they were not treating my tenants with enough professionalism and respect or were not getting things fixed in a timely manner.
If you are a tenant who will be respectful and won't trash your property, then you will absolutely love Duncan Property Management. They will make sure that your property is in good working order, and they will treat you with respect and kindness. I have many, many satisfied tenants. Occasionally, there will be a bad tenant who doesn't pay their rent and who trashes the property. Unfortunately, these are the people who tend to write negative reviews. If the people who wrote negative reviews would think about that statement for a little bit, I believe that they would realize that it is accurate. I know that there are a lot of bad property managers out there. However, if you were to be fair, you'd recognize that Duncan Property Management is one of the best, if not the best, property managers in the upstate.
