Merrilyn Hall Realty - Columbia, South Carolina

I rented with Merrill hall realty for 3 years. Anytime I had a problem it was fixid immediately. Samantha Montondo is one of the most kindest property manager I've ever had. Besides normal stuff that happens to 40 50 old homes. Very good people.

We recently purchased our first home with Lisa at MHR. From the beginning to the end, she was not only quick to find properties for us, but she was easy to communicate with and has a wealth of knowledge about the area that she happily shares. Her years of experience as a realtor gave me so much peace of mind because she made the process easy to understand and was prepared for any hiccups in the process. I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell their home in the Midlands area!

While everyone at the office was nice, I would advise anyone to not rent property under Merrilyn Hall. When moving into our house, the lawn was not mowed and nothing inside looked like it had been cleaned. That’s fine as we don’t mind doing it ourselves, however upon moving out Merrilyn expect you to pay hundreds of dollars for carpet cleaning and yard maintenance. Carpet cleaning is normal wear and tear of a house so whoever does contracts for the company really need to look into this... Also, by all means do not expect to get your deposit back, they charge you for anything they can find, as others reviewers have also complained about, and they disregarded the money they made us put into maintenance while moving out in the first place. I’ve lived in many different places and have never had these issues before. Even after talking to other property managers, they’ve agreed it doesn’t make sense...

I can only speak to my experience with Merrilyn Hall and her company. She managed my property for 5 years and I just fire her for gross mismanagement if my property. I have over $9000.00 in cleaning and damages to the property not to mention the lost income and back rent owed from the tenant she put into the home. The wife told her in October 2018 she was moving out and that the husband was using illegal drugs, which is a violation of the lease and grounds for immediate eviction but Merrilyn took no action. The husband who also has mental health issues continued to live in the house and cause damage after the wife left in October. Sewer was shut off due to non-payment and he continued using the toilets and staying in the house with no electricity or sewer. Appliances are damaged beyond repair. Wires to security system have been pulled out of the boxes. Merrilyn refused to do the 2 inspections per year I asked he to do while these tenants lived there n the home. Had she done her job and conducted these inspections she would have seen the condition of the home, but she clearly has on regard for the property owners she represents. I would have given -5 stars if that was an option. If you want to screw someone over, recommend Merrilyn Hall Realty to them. I have the photos and witnesses to back up everything I wrote here and more.

If you are looking for a real estate agent, look no further! April and her team are top notch. April helped us purchase our current home and continues to assist us with our rental property. They handle it all! I highly recommend Merrilyn Hall Realty, they have the experience, knowledge and most of all integrity. They are locally owned and vested in our community. 32+ years of experience, they must be doing something right!

Lisa with Merrilyn Hall Realty helped my family sell my grandmother's house. She was knowledgeable of the area and made the process easy for my 95 year old dad. Lisa was caring, personable, and listened. An offer was made within a day of being put on the market and resulted in a sale getting my dad a profit considerably more than the other realtors we consulted. I highly recommend Merrilyn Hall Realty and will use them for any future realty needs.

I own rental properties in five states, including three in the Columbia area that are managed by Merrilyn Hall (and have been for over a decade).

I can be a bit of a nuisance to my property managers. I have a high attention to detail and like things to clear and so I can understand them.

Everyone at MHR has been top drawer -- from Lisa and Dale who helped me buy the three houses, to April who is tireless in answering my persnickety questions about my monthly statements, to Merrilyn who is a complete pro when it comes to understanding the market.

If you are looking for a property manager for the Columbia area, look no farther!

I started renting from MHR in 2001 and rented 2 homes over 7 years! And then April helped us find and buy our house! Wonderful, fair, and prompt company to rent from and really made the buying experience such a great adventure! Thank you Merrilyn and April!!!
