Fair and honest review of Progress Residential
After all of the negative reviews I found here I was compelled to post my experience We leased a home from Progress for about two years and I truly believe that Progress Residential runs a fair and honest company This review will be in three parts move-in duration of stay and move-out Move-In The unique thing about Progress is that it is very similar to leasing an apartment They have a lot of properties to choose from and the application process is very similar to applying for an apartment When we first started looking for a home to lease we found that most of the individual leases out there from independent owners engaged in a very deceitful application process All of them would take your application fee along with all of the other application fees from other people and they would then choose the best tenant If you are not chosen as a tenant you lose your application fee This came across to me as a very deceitful way for the property owner to make extra money Progress Residential only deals with one applicant at a time As soon as you pay your application fee they take the property off the market while they process your application Of coarse you still risk losing your application fee but at least you are not competing with others for the property Our credit was not in great shape but Progress was still willing to work with us We were required to put a double deposit down which was fine by us Our application was approved and before we moved in we met a Progress agent at the property and they thoroughly reviewed and photographed the property with us Progress holds onto the photos for you and will send them to you on move-out for you to use as guides for returning the home We found our move-in to be smooth and uneventful The home was clean the lawn was cut and everything was in-place Duration of Stay We leased the home for about two years During that time we had a few issues with the home All of them were fixed without incident by Progress There are some items that Progress will charge a fee to come out and fix Please pay attention to these details in your lease agreement so that you will not be surprised Keep in mind that you are renting a home and you will need to have some handiness skills to keep it maintained on your own and avoid these fees Overall our duration of stay was a positive one and uneventful Another positive thing about Progress is that they are very versatile with their leases After our initial 12 month lease we were allowed to re-lease in increments of 6 or 3 months if we chose or we could even lease on a monthly schedule Keep in mind that shorter lease times will come with additional fees Move-out After almost two years of stay my family was able to purchase a house We submitted a notice to Progress that we would not be renewing our lease They congratulated us on our new home and we were sent detailed instructions for moving out Progress is very specific as to how the home needs to be returned to them The home must be completely ready for a new tenant to move in You will be required to have the carpets professionally cleaned the home must be professionally cleaned walls need to be touched up exterior of home and all concrete needs to be washed we bought an inexpensive power washer for this and all garage remotes and keys need to be returned We spent about 600 following their guidelines About 30 days after our move-out our entire deposit was returned to us Summary If you are looking to lease a home I think Progress makes it very easy to do so Just as you expect them to be considerate of you and your leased property you also need to be considerate of them and their company policies Some highlights of items to consider when leasing 1 Pay attention to the lease agreement and all fees Some notable fees are maintenance fees and late payment fees Progress has a hefty late payment fee and they are unforgiving if you are late 2 Thoroughly check the home before you sign the lease agreement If their is anything about the home you do not like ask them to add a condition on the lease to remedy the issue or simply do not sign the lease 3 On move-in make sure everything is photographed and any issues noted Photograph or video the entire home including all walls floors and exterior This will be invaluable when you move out 4 Be sure to follow their move-out guide precisely In fact ask to see the move-out guide before you even sign the lease This way you will know what you are getting into beforehand

I first would like to give a shout out
I first would like to give a shout out a thank you and a very positive review and complement to Progress Residential employee Millie Perez who personally reached out to me to help resolve the many issues I have with my rental home She was very quick efficient honest helpful and a blessing to me during a very horrible time in this home I d also like to give a compliment thank you and positive review to call center supervisor Stephan and Call center agent Juanitra Who both help the process to get going to fix my maintenance issues I have rented from Progress Residential for 3 1 2 years And have had nothing but maintenance issue after maintenance issue after maintenance issue It s not only the issues that created a nightmare for me But how Progress Residential handles those maintenance issues It is almost impossible to get a hold of an agent through a phone call so after attempting that multiple times and on hold 40 minutes plus each time or requesting callbacks with never receiving a call back and then resort to the email process which of course usually takes days to respond to if at all My list is too long to mention but it s been everything from rat infestation termite infestation electrical plumbing water pouring in my windows clogged up plumbing and sinks it goes on and on However the reason for this review is to give credit to the employees that have helped me with my recent issues they are truly soldiers for this company In my opinion they deserve to work for a much much better company I want to again say thank you for your outstanding and great service to Millie Perez Stephan call center supervisor and call center agent Juanitra You three Truly helped me out with an impossible situation and quite honestly saved your company from me going to the news about them and maybe even further I truly hope Progress Residential realizes the amazing and outstanding employees they have in the three of you Thank you all from the bottom of my heart

I cannot explain the negative reviews I
I cannot explain the negative reviews I have read but let me say that my experience with this company has been excellent and I have highly recommended them to many associates I have been a tenant since May of 2021 and have just renewed my lease for another year My rent went up but rent has gone up everywhere and their increase was within the market range but maybe a little high When I mentioned this to the PR representative she agreed to submit my request for a reduction to the Owner and it was approved The increase in rent ended up less than 10 and home values in my area have risen well over 30 in the last year The original lease process was a little complicated but both the rental agent and the emails clearly spelled out the steps for me to complete the process My 1st month paying my rent online did result in a late fee but when I reviewed the policies and the date I submitted my payment there had been no misrepresentation I had not allowed the required 72 hour time window for payment to clear given how the weekend fell I have had 2 service calls in my 1st year one where I was home for the call and the 2nd one I left a key in the lockbox and the technician completed the work in a professional way He had to schedule a 2nd trip to complete the service because he had to order a part but the return visit was scheduled before he left the 1st time and he returned on the day he said he would and finished the repair I am renting in the NW Atlanta area and my representatives have been very responsive professional and helpful I cannot comment on actions on Tennessee or Texas or New Jersey but here in Georgia they are far better than any of the local property management companies

I have now been a renter with progress
I have now been a renter with progress going on 4 5 years I just have to say something about the reviews I moved from a place that didn t even care about the way you lived They collected rent and that was it and I lived there for 8 years Until I couldn t take it anymore With that being said since i have been a renter with Progress it has been amazing I mean WHENEVER there is an issue they fix it immediately I don t care when it is I haven t had many but those i have had have been corrected Not to mention 2020 It got ahold of a lot of us I fell behind but I still paid what I could and when I tell you that they worked with me the months that I needed them to with no hesitation They were on it and extremely willing to assist in any way I am not doing this for any recognition I just see the negative reviews and I am a bit bothered because if you communicate with them on any level I m positive that whatever it is will be resolved Again I m not doing any of this for recognition They don t even know that I am writing a review Maybe my family was blessed But I can tell you that I have never been happier renting with Progress

Before these guys I rented directly
Before these guys I rented directly from a landlord and it was a terrible experience I was given 1 month to vacate the property because my grass got too high while on vacation Never was late on a single payment So here I am 90 days into renting from Progress in a much nicer home only one block from the the old place and I couldn t be happier Before Progress came in this particular house was an eye sore in the community Within a short time they had this place painted from top to bottom all new appliance counter tops floors new fence AC Unit and fresh grass put in Now its one of the nicest places on the area My only complaint is there isn t an option to buy what I think is our forever home These guys worked with me on my credit challenges and made the move in process a breeze I ve had a couple maintenance calls requested though the online portal garage door repair tree trimming code violation handled in a timely manner I highly recommend renting from them
