⚠️ DO NOT DEAL WITH SERVICE STAR REALTY My experience with Service Star Realty has been extremely frustrating, and I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere if you want a stress-free rental experience. At the beginning, everything seemed great. Their communication made it feel like we were going to have a smooth experience and that they genuinely cared about addressing issues with the property. However, things changed quickly after we moved in. When we first moved into the property, we were told to report anything that needed to be fixed. We did exactly that. We reported several issues, including cracked walls, worn-out blinds, and a broken sink dispenser. Instead of addressing these issues, we were told that it was basically up to us whether we wanted to fix them. Then, the following month, we were charged $120. After that, we were charged another $40 because we apparently parked in a spot we weren't supposed to park in. This was particularly frustrating because the parking situation and expectations were not clear to us. Then there was another $50 charge listed as a failed/declined charge fee, even though the amount was ultimately charged anyway. The biggest issue for me isn't just the individual charges—it's the overall experience. You move in expecting a straightforward rental relationship, but instead you end up having to constantly worry about unexpected charges and whether something you report will actually be addressed or later become your responsibility. My advice to anyone considering renting through Service Star Realty is to read everything extremely carefully, document everything when you move in, take pictures and videos of the property, and make sure you understand every potential fee before signing anything. Personally, based on my experience, I would not rent through them again. If you want to live somewhere without constantly worrying about unexpected charges and rental-related stress, I recommend looking elsewhere. DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE RENTING FROM SERVICE STAR REALTY.

Sergio with TXZ Customs did an amazing job fixing our ceiling fans, stair rail, and doors. Even though my landlord had a very tight budget and strict constraints on what could be approved, Sergio remained professional, friendly, and incredibly helpful throughout the process. The repairs look great, and I really appreciate his positive attitude. Five stars!

Overall Experience I have been working with Service Star Realty for about a year, and I have been very impressed with their service so far. Dena, my property manager, has done an excellent job communicating between the homeowner and my renters, keeping everyone informed and coordinated. Property Maintenance and Repairs The contractors she recommended addressed the issues in my house in a timely manner. Their billing was transparent, and the costs were reasonable, which gave me confidence in the repair process. Quarterly Inspections Service Star Realty also offers quarterly house inspections and AC filter changes for an additional charge. I was initially skeptical about this service, but after Toni, my inspector, completed the first inspection, I felt it is totally worth it. • Toni changed the AC filter with a quality product • He provided a clear update on the current condition of my house with pictures attached to • The inspection gave me peace of mind that the property was being properly cared for Overall, it is a relief to know that Service Star Realty found a good renter and that my house has been well taken care of so far.

Despite being responsible tenants who fulfilled every obligation under our lease, Service Star Realty withheld nearly $900 from our security deposit for charges we believe are unjustified and in some cases fabricated. We were charged for an AC filter replacement, despite personally purchasing and replacing filters every month at our own expense - a service they were already charging us for. We were also charged $180 for landscaping on a backyard that is entirely bare dirt. To put that in context: when we received the keys, that same backyard contained dog waste, rusty nails, and construction debris left over from their "remodel." The property was never in pristine condition to begin with. Maintenance throughout our tenancy was equally poor. A bathroom light fixture left hanging from exposed wires took two weeks to repair and the landlord showed up personally to do the work rather than hiring a licensed professional. Beyond the deposit, the pattern of unprofessionalism was consistent. Our property manager ignored calls, failed to return messages, and when we followed up about lease renewal, claimed she had never received our calls. We were left in limbo for weeks with no direction. When we finally got a response, it came with blame shifted onto us rather than any accountability on their part. We were also fined for weeds that were in our neighbor's yard, and were falsely told an HOA was involved - there was none. When we left an honest review reflecting our experience, our property manager called us, raised her voice, and told us the review had "almost gotten her fired." Leaving a factual review is our right, and that response speaks volumes about how this company handles accountability. We treated this property with care, paid our rent on time, and left it clean. We actually really loved that neighborhood and community! In return we received dismissiveness, dishonesty, and a deposit dispute that required formal written challenges to resolve. Tenants beware, document everything from day one!
