The house we were renting was sold while we were in it and ended up being managed by Realize. Our rent was increased 50% with one months notice. While I recognize that this isn't the fault of the property management company, they were extremely unresponsive and unhelpful in getting us information, communicating with the landlords (across the country) on our behalf, and giving us information about service requests that certainly needed to be taken care of if our rent was going up that much. This was one of the most stressful times of my life trying to figure out what our living situation was going to be and Brandon and the rest of the Realize team only made it worse. I can only be grateful that we are out of that house and done dealing with them now. I'd like to know how many of these 5 star reviews are from landlords and property owners, all they care about is the profit.

Jillian has been a huge help to us with maintenance requests and making sure things are good with our move. This has been the best property management company we have dealt with. They definitely make sure their tenants are taken care of.

They told me to find a house I did they wanted information from my job I gave it to them I payed 30 for a application.. I call they either don’t answer or hang up in your face you never hear back from them email or text messages the address on the website is fake I went there and nothing at this point do they really help I’ve been calling for a month now and nothing

Im not sure why they only have 3.6 rating. My process was quick and easy. Very straight forward and never were they unprofessional. They've fix any problems Ive had in a very timely manner. 10/10 Recommend. Thank you!

I applied for an apartment with Realize Property Management, paid the $35 application fee, and was completely given the runaround. First, they promised me a 2-bedroom, only to turn around and rent it to someone else. Then, they claimed a 1-bedroom was available, but after that, they completely ghosted me. no follow-ups, no updates, nothing. On top of that, their agent Camille was incredibly rude on the phone, acting like I was the problem for expecting basic communication. Unprofessional, disorganized, and a total waste of time and money. Avoid this company!

Update March 2025: My experience with this property management company, and specifically with the property manager, Brandon, was very disappointing. I contracted them for renovation work, and there were significant discrepancies between the reported progress and the actual state of the property. I expressed my concerns regarding the discrepancies and requested a resolution, but I was unable to obtain a refund or have the remaining work completed. I found the communication regarding the project's completion to be inconsistent with the reality of the situation. Based on my personal experience, I would advise potential clients to carefully consider their options before engaging this company. I experienced what I perceive to be a lack of follow-through and a failure to meet my expectations regarding the agreed-upon renovations.

Brandon and his team have been amazing to work with. I initially worked with another property manager who was a nightmare to work with. Brandon came through and helped solved all the issues I was having. He not only works with the landlords, but I can see that he also cares about the tenants, which is huge. He sends updates regarding new regulations and any upcoming changes that he is aware of.

Brandon and his team at Realize Property Management are an invaluable part of my boots-on-the-ground team in Columbus OH. Being and out of state investor, I can't always be on top of my properties or what's happening with them. He's been able to oversee rehabs and take distressed and underperforming assets and get them stabilized for cashflow. I really appreciate his ability to look for ways to save me money not just during the rehab, but in repairs and maintenance as well. I've had other managers and he's not the type to just call and say "The toilet broke. What do you want to do?" He will either give you with several options (for bigger repairs) or just use his network to fix it quickly without even bothering you with it. He's also an investor himself so getting insight and experience is super helpful when I was starting out. He helped me a ton with the section 8 process and getting a great tenant placed. The only thing I would want to change is speeding up the rehab turnaround time. I understand part of that is not his fault because of the lack of sub contractors and people not showing up, but I'd like to see him add more team member and scale up. I would not mind paying more for an additional project manager person to oversee all the renovations and keep subs on track, thus getting a rehab done quicker so we can get tenants placed quicker. Overall, I am very pleased with the services I receive from Realize and I look forward to scaling up my portfolio with them in the future.

I worked with Brandon to purchase my first out of state investment property. He came highly recommended by one of my peers and I'm so thankful she referred me to Brandon! Brandon helped me understand the market and set me up to receive automatic listings (curated based on my preferences/goals). He's also an investor himself so he's very well-informed. On top of that, he is the most responsive agent I've worked with. I can ping him a ton of questions and he will answer every single one! Three things that set him apart from other agents are: responsiveness, data-driven, and client-first (rather than paycheck first).
