Chad with the lock replacement service was fast, professional and responsive. Awesome job guys!
We worked with (“worked” is a stretch) “Aleena August” and she was extremely unprofessional as well as unhelpful. Her emails were extremely rude in correspondence and essentially stole 50 dollars because she lost the listing. I wouldn’t recommend her or this agency to my worse enemy.You’re better of just following my advice and starting anywhere else.If I could give them zero stars I would.
Aleena August, the property manager for our home has been horrific. She has been utterly unprofessional, refused to answer our calls, threatened us after we asked for issue resolutions with past tenants and would never explain the fees or any questions that we would have despite paying the firm for the services. We are still in the process of closing our accounts after moving to a different agency, so I hope that the company leadership takes these recent reviews on board and make some major changes in the way they conduct business.
Quick and efficient, trimmed our trees, and cleaned the mess in less than an hr. Great job!
The representative was very friendly and quick and professional
We are very satisfied with the service of Terra Residential Properties. They have taken very good care of our tenants and our properties for many years. They are skillful and well-trained. They are prompt with monthly and year-end reports and payments. We have peace of mind knowing that we can rely on them. We recommend their service without hesitation.
Very nice and friendly. Regina and Rebecca respond to every email and fast as they can and answer any and every question you may have. Me and my husband just moved in and some electric sockets werent working and they quickly sent someone over to fix all that for us. Very good with responding with maintenance orders
Terra Residential provides the best rental property management service. They always respond to tenants request and on obvious or minor repairs will get one of their approved vendors on the job as soon as necessary. I am contacted on anything major before they repair or replace.I recommend this company.
I have used Terra as my property manager since the MID EIGHTIES when I purchased 3 investment properties. They came highly recommended back then and, after 3 decades, I can certainly recommend them again to others today as well. They are very attentive and quick to respond to owners needs. I highly recommend using their service for all of your management needs !!
My experience with Terra Residential has been excellent. They have managed my rental property for years now. From background checks on potential tenants to addressing issues with my property while I was living overseas.
Great property management company. . Prompt with addressing maintenance request via contractors, friendly, and helpful. Ive been renting with them for 3 years. The first year was not as good but new property manager Rebecca is really nice and helpful.
Repairs are addressed quickly
I would recommend Terra Residential to anyone looking to rent a property. The staff are easy to work with and responsive and the maintenance people know what they are doing.
Will not call me back. My previous contact was fired and no one told me and now the new assigned contact is ducking my calls. Unprofessional took 3 weeks to fix my oven.
Terra Residential is a super professional property management company. I rent from an owner who isnt located in the US. Whenever I have a problem, I submit a support ticket, and they get back to me immediately and send out a repair person. They are super professional and very responsive, and Im very happy with their service.
Tenant experience with Terra was excellent. They were always responsive to work orders, hired good subs to fix issues, and used RentTrack to autopay rent. Seamless and professional, and they were easy to work with on the front end of the lease and similar when the lease was up. Highly recommend if you are looking for property management. I worked with James Dominy and Sarah Magee, both responsive and professional.
I worked with Terra Residential for over10 years. First as property owner neighboring a property they were managing. For the last 5 ½ years they managed my property for me. They always kept the tenants taken care of as well as taking care of my property and notifying me with any situation. The records they kept and sent me were of the highest quality. They were very professional and personable at the same time. They were a pleasure to work with and I would not hesitate to use them again or recommend them to others. I would give them 5 stars +.
Great team with more experience than all the other companies combined. I continue to be amazed at the knowledge they have for any situation that comes up. They have literally seen it all and set the bar very high for property management in Houston.
There are many reasons why we AND our previous tenants would never recommend Terra Residency for property management.1) Lack of Communication – lack of email response and returning our phone calls. It was difficult to get answers if it involved multiple points and if there was a response, it seemed they were only capable of answering one question. As a result, the rest of the questions were typically unresolved until we followed-up.In addition, our tenants complained multiple times about Jamies lack of attention and professionalism. To be honest, we could have resolved our issues quicker without involving Terra Residency.2) Miscellaneous Deductions – Our last rent check was substantially less with no warning or an acceptable explanation for why. When requesting clarity, the response for the reason took over 1 month and multiple people to give us a response. And to this day, it doesnt make sense to us but we are so fed up with Jamie and the company that we simply gave up.3) Poor Repairs – They will get the cheapest possible replacement and add on their coordination fee. We experienced a replacement AC control unit, unsurprisingly we received the cheapest version they could find that was a lot smaller than the original one which left a visual disaster in the form of a dirty great mark on the wall. When we asked why this hadn’t been fully fixed, the response was that ‘their guy’ doesn’t do painting.4) Poor Walkthrough – After our experience so far we didn’t hold out much hope, and we weren’t disappointed. We luckily had excellent tenants who treated our house wonderfully. We had Jamie do his final walkthrough and inventory and he gave us the all-clear. Of course, we noticed there were some things missing. Our superb tenants were luckily very responsive and had simply forgotten a couple of pieces of furniture in the move. An email was sent Jamie which was ignored. One thing you can give them credit for was they took a stance of sheer incompetence early on and stuck to it.
Not responsive, the representative for my property has always just stepped out randomly refusing to take my calls.
When I moved into a new home in 2010 I decided to turn my prior residence into a rental property. Terra has managed my rental property since 2010. Jamie is my property manager and he always meets or exceeds my expectations. I have known Michael Mengden for about 18 years. I worked for Terra few a couple of years and decided to place my rental property in their hands primarily because I knew Michael and was personally familiar with his honesty and outstanding character.
My husband and I just got our new home this past week and went through Terra Residential services, and they have been nothing short of AMAZING! We have been working with Sarah, and not only is she the sweetest, but she is on top of her game! They are very swift with responses and requests and are just overall great on customer service. We will def. be referring our familiy and friends and using them in the future for our next move!
Ive been with TRS for over fifteen years now as an absentee owner. I depend on them for everything including placements and ongoing oversight.Simply put, If you want the best, go with TRS!
This is an excellent company to work with. The staff are friendly and intelligent. I highly recommend their management services.
Opened a ticket and management company responded quickly in getting the work repaired.
The guys were very professional quick and really respectful towards me
I have leased from Tera Residential for a year. Nothing but professional. Integrity to the highest as well as making sure all your concerns are taken care of. I was blessed to buy the home that I leased from them. Would definitely refer others to them....
Great service. On time. Quality work
Trusted residential property management company. Have done a wonderful job for me since 2004.
Mike and the team at Terra Residential have been doing property management longer than most of us have been working. They are pillars of the state and national property management community. Mike shares his time with other property managers to teach courses and even push through legislation. Want someone tried and true. These are your guys. They wont let you down.
I have used Terra for several years now to manage my rental property. I would not hesitate to recommend them. I am out of state and found that they have done an excellent job screening potential tenants, collecting rents and providing me with a monthly detailed report, and carry out my desires regarding the shape I want my houses kept in. I have used other management companies for other properties in other states and none compare with Terra - trust me on this.
Donna Hill and the TerraResidential team are the solution! Any time I have a need Donna Hill is always just a phone call away. They make their residents topPriority and are expedient to respond to any issue or request. They’re the A-team and rank 100% top-notch!!!
Enjoyed working with Jamie Dominy on a lease property near Rice Village. Very professional, knowledgeable and nice to work with!
For the past 4 years we have lived overseas and trusted the care of our home to Jaime and Terra Residential services. Jaime was always easy to reach and would address our tenants concerns in a timely and professional manner. Terra Residential made owning a rental property a carefree experience and we would definitely recommend their services. -ND
Ive been a tenant for 2 years and I have no complaints. Rebecca and Donna are very responsive and any maintenance requests Ive had were resolved quickly. Awesome!
I have been working with Donna Hill who has been very curteous, professional, knowledgeable and prompt in responding to my questions. Terra residential cares about their clients and works at resolving any requests for information or repairs in a timely manner.
Excellent service and commitment to both owner and tenant. The company had managed my property for over ten years, and I could not have had a better property management firm. Thanks for all the years of service!
I have worked with Terra Residential as a property owner for over 15 years. They are easy to work with so that I never have to worry about anything. And the tenants are very high quality people. Would highly recommend Terra Residential to anyone who needs a property management team.
Once again Terra Residential sent out professional and great workers to help me with a small issue with our ice machine...he fixed it quickly and was nice enough to help me out on something else...ALWAYS 5 STAR RATING!
Donna Hill and TerraResidential are always just a phone call away. They promptly respond to any issue or request. They’re top-notch!!!
I had a terrible experience with Terra Residential Services. The property manager assigned to me was unresponsive and failed to communicate with me numerous times. Further, when my tenants moved out, they left behind 2 broken windows. Terra didnt bother to take any action to secure my property for several weeks. I only found out that my property was not secured when another realtor told me. Even after I called and requested that they get somebody over there that same day to board up the broken windows they didnt do it. It took another email the following day before they finally got around to it. Terra was very proactive about turning on the utilities (without tell me) at my property so that I would have to pay for them (remember the broken windows!) but could not have cared less about making sure my property was secure.They never once apologized or even admitted they had messed up. When I was upset about having to pay for utilities which I did not authorize, their comment was I dont understand why are you acting this way?. Seriously?!?If you value the security of your property, Id suggest looking elsewhere for help in managing it
Terra Residential is a GREAT company to work with! Responsive, Reliable, Courteous! The staff there couldnt be better!
We have been using Terra Residential services for over 10 years and find them to be very good at managing properties. They provide timely information of any problems that arise, provide options or per our agreement, fix problems as they arise, always keeping costs to a minimum. Work well with tenants and retention of tenants. Would recommend them to others looking for property managers.
Terra Residential manages a property for me and the experience has been wonderful. Working a full time job and not living in the city where the property is located was a serious concern for me in having a rental property, but working with Terra has been very easy and hands off. They handle all the details.
This company has shady business practices and are thieves. They charge you for things that are wrong with the property that were there when you move in DO NOT RENT FROM TERRA. If I could give no stars I would. They also do not fix problems properly they put a bandaid on it to do just enough to make it rentable
My wife and I had a very poor experience with Terra while living in one of their managed properties for more than a year. They did not comply with the requirements of the lease in several areas, we were not kept informed about requirements for the property, they entered the property without even ringing the doorbell (or calling ahead). Moving out was a nightmare - I gave notice in accordance with the lease - after acknowledging it they told me they could not accept it!?. I wrote to the broker who runs Terra about my problems, but never received a response. I do not think there is any bad intent on their part, just a lack of respect for good quality tenants, compounded by poor management and incompetence.I will report their property manager to the Texas Real Estate commission for the more serious matters under the lease
Jamie and the team at Terra Residential have been managing my Houston properties since 2009. Always prompt and professional, their service is consistently excellent and highly recommended.
I have been working for this company for almost 3 years their Fair theyre reasonable theyre nice in this business you cant make everybody happy but we try to do the best we can if youre going to either work for the company or be a renter youll be in good hands
Mike and Jamie at Terra have always been honest and considerate with me. They are great people to deal with, and I recommend them both very highly.
We have been here 2 years now . Have always been fast on repairs or emergency service . Never left me worried about repairs. Good job
I am a California broker and TRS has managed properties for me personally in the past and has managed properties for clients of mine since 1994. These clients still own their investments after 22 years because TRS has done such a good job managing them. I highly recommend you use this company for all your property management needs in the Houston area.
This company is the worst. DO NOT RENT FROM THEM! You will get screwed!!!! I was a great tenant for 17 months. I gave appropriate notice (actually longer then they asked for), was never late on the payment and followed the lease that was outlined.First I had to clean the house when I originally moved in because it was gross (there was still pubic hair in the shower when I moved in), on my own I also weeded/ replanted the garden that was horribly over grown when I moved in, replaced outlet covers, and replaced a screen window because there was no screen in it. I cared for this house as if it were mine.After giving notice, They show the house while you are still living there (which is so awkward) and I even allowed them to show the house (I was still living in) while I was away on vacation for 9 days 2,000 miles away. Making me very fearful of it being broken into while I was away.When I moved out I completed every item outlined in the lease...I got it professionally cleaned, had carpets professionally cleaned, had the house sprayed for fleas, spiders, etc, had lawn mowed/edged, and replaced the air filters.Once I got my deposit back a month after moving out I was charged $179 for carpet cleaning and $20 for a new air filter! I called Rebecca Roeber at the Terra Residential office to let her know that couldn’t be right since i had told her I was doing these things and I had just done them. And I had my receipts. She asked for me to email my receipt and then said she would send my refund difference after getting approval from the owner.Time passes and no response! Every time I call or email Rebecca states she can’t get in touch with the owner. Seriously it takes months to reach the owner? But wasn’t a problem to send initial refund 30 days after? And I’m sure there would be a quick response if I didn’t pay the rent? So After 6-7 emails, 5-6 calls and 4 1/2 months pass, I find out they decided they won’t refund my money since they paid for services themselves!So not only do I pay for services myself, because the lease said I needed to, but now I pay for it a second time because they said (4 1/2 months later) “it still smelled like dog”! Total scam because they said everything looked great 2 days after I moved out when I called them to check in!Total disorganized mess at this company, rude employees that don’t have time to do their jobs, and shady deposit practices. Thankfully I moved into my own home and will never have to do business with people like this again. Hopefully you won’t need to either.....Steer clear
Wonderful to work with. They stay On top of all maintenance issues
I am a Realtor and my clients rental property needed a property management company to care for his property while he was out of the country. We put the home on the market, and I have to say Jamie at Terra Residential was wonderful to work with. He has answered my questions promptly, he took care of issues quickly, and was always pleasant to talk to on the phone. The transaction went quickly and all parties were very impressed with how well everything was taken care of so promptly. We will definately recommend him to other residental clients looking for a property management company!
Donna did an amazing job of handling our repair request so quickly!
Michael has the only certified property management company in Houston that is Certified by the National Association of Residential Property Managers. In short that means that he has one of the best property management companies in the United States. If you are looking for professional property management for your property give Michael a call.
Very professional, friendly and helpful people. Have made renting and selling our house very painless while living on the other side of the world.
Very professional handling of all aspects. Extremely helpful for a first time landlord. Recommended to all.
Love Rebecca, she’s prompt and easy to work with!
I recently decided to sell my property, which has been managed by Terra Residential for over twenty years. My property manager, Rebecca Roeber, made this the easiest, most hands-off experience I have ever had. Any questions I had were quickly and completely answered, and anything I needed was provided with clear and concise instructions. Anyone needing professional assistance with property management and services in Houston, Texas would be well-advised to contact Rebecca Roeber at Terra Residential for World-Class Service.
Excellent professional property management company you can depend on.
They stay busy cos they work hard. Solid management company. Definitely recommended.
They are very helpful, and work with you.
Great service and always on time, Thank you!James & Anina
Terrible experience.
All went well - the real estate agent was on top of her game and managed all aspects of the move.
Very good company to do business with
Worst company every, they make every excuse to not do their job, the wonders of the house should know whats going on, that they are wasting their money
Run! This company manages my neighbors property and the house looks abandoned. Terra hasnt maintained the yard or inside the house. This neighborhood ranges from 250k - 750k. This type of poor maintenance isnt normal for the location.
Very professional and trustworthy
Been working with Terra Residential Services for a year and the process has been seemles. They handled the contract negotiations and renewal, collect the rent, coordinate maintenance, provide full statements for tax purposes and year end paperwork. I could not be happier.
Problems if any are resolved quickly.
Terrible service
Great job!
