Kansas City - Home River Group Property Management

[Chris Schroeder]

Does anyone in the Kansas City area have experience using the Home River Group for property management?  I've started talking with them about their PM services but would like to know what other's experiences have been.

I can give an update on Home River. I did have a house in KC with them during my first post. It was the first house I bought and I bought it from a turnkey provider. I wouldn't do that again. The turnkey provider managed the house at first. He then sold the PM to Home River. I fired Home River after lots of problems with them. The house became empty in July of that year and wasn't renting. In September I asked for keys to house so I could see why it wasn't renting. That's when I discovered it was dirty and had foundation problems that had actually caused the kitchen floor to buckle. The house was becoming unlivable and Home River never told me about it in spite of me paying for inspections and maintenance from them. I fired them when they admitted that they had never set foot in the house to view it or inspect the work of their cleaners and maintenance people. So my experience is limited but I would never use them again.
