General Info
Crown Realty & Management is a 30 year old full service real estate company in Atlanta Georgia. Crowns core business is leasing, lease purchase, and property management but we arrived there by helping investors buy hundreds of houses. We manage 1000 houses, maintain 32 staff, have managed over 7,000 tenants and provide a full range of services for private investors, banks, builders, lenders, REITs, government agencies, and other brokers. We provide full turnkey, rent ready and rehab services. We offer training and seminars for investors and real estate agents, and are an accredited school with the Georgia Real Estate Commission.Credentials and DesignationsThe National Association of Residential Property Managers (NARPM), the trade association for our industry, offers designations to property managers who work, serve and take courses to learn the intricacies of our business. These designations help the public to identify the knowledge and experience of the managers in the marketplace. Crown has a unique position in the market because we have all the designations offered by NARPM, including the coveted Certified Residential Management Company (CRMC) awarded to only 31 companies in the nation as well as the qualifying broker having a Master Property Manager (MPM) designation.Historical BackgroundRobert and Betty Locke began to build the business that would become Crown Management in their basement in 1978. They started in the basement of their home in 1978 to manage the houses they were buying for investment. When they ran out of capital they started finding properties for investors and heard Ill buy it if you manage it for me. Crown was the response to that need. To date the Locke's have bought over 200 houses for their own account, have located over 1,000 houses for other investors and grown Crown into a major player in the Atlanta marketplace. Crown has acquired 11 other management companies (including one with 225 properties) and knows what happens under the hood of management companies. We have been training and coaching property managers for over 20 years. Robert has spoken at real estate workshops and conventions throughout the United States and other countries.

BEWARE IF YOU RENT FRON CROWN. Please take a look at all the YELP reviews; BBB reports and just ask around. They are good in the beginning, but if you decide to move they take all of your security deposit. READ THE LEASE IN DETAIL. It is set up so that you can never get out of it. In our case they took us for $2000 (and the house was already sold when we move). They are equal opportunity screwers. They take from Owners, renters, you name it. Misty Withers is the ring leader. She sends out these politcally correct emails that are basically screwing you. Krystal Perkins is her second in command. Then there is Brandi who has no balls and when things get tough she put you in touch with Misty and Krystal. Learn from me...

I hate that I had to leave one star. I haven't had to leave many bad reviews. However, this is important that I leave this review. BEWARE! BEWARE! BEWARE! AND RUNNNNN and fast as you can.



This will not be the only place that I leave a review. Anywhere that I can leave it I will. My husband and I stayed at one of there properties for three years. ZERO missed payments and zero complaints from neighbors or owner.



From the time that we moved in threw spoke with multiple different people. It seems like they're trying to create an online business. So, they won't have to deal with tenants in person or over the phone. But before I get to far. Let's begin with the walk through.

I currently rent from a homeowner who uses their services and I have NEVER dealt with such a disorganized management company in my life. Our dishwasher leaked all over the floor and it took them over a YEAR to replace it and it wasn't because the owner didn't want to pay for it - it was because they had to send someone to look at it THREE times after they didn't seem to have a record of the fact that the first two technicians said it needed to be replaced. The fact that it was finally completed only happened because I put in a handful of maintenance requests, phone calls, and emails until something was finally done.



From there, we wound up with a leak in our bathroom that caused water damage on the ceiling. Instead of sending someone in to fix the source of the problem, they simply had someone come spray paint over the stain.



Upon renewing our lease, I requested a full carpet cleaning and back screen door placement (since they would have had to do it if new tenants moved in) and the owner easily agreed to the stipulations. However, four months later, NOTHING has been done. I have sent a long trail of emails and made phone calls to the property manager (or should I say, managers, because we have probably gone through 4 or 5 of them in the last year) and no one seems to be able to tell me why it's so difficult to have our simple requests met.



If you are an owner looking for a management company, DO NOT HIRE THEM. There is no continuity with the staff and nothing gets done.



We are good tenants. We take care of the home, don't cause neighborhood disturbances and have NEVER been late on our rent in two years. I would think that we would be the types of tenants you'd want to keep happy, so do yourself a favor and look for another company.

We have been living in a Crown Property for over 3 years now and have enjoyed the experience. We are moving and hope to find another Crown Property to rent again. The agents are helpful and responsive. Our requests for home repairs are always dealt with in a timely manner- our AC went out last July and they had someone out to look at it within the hour. I would recommend using Crown to anyone.

I have been working with Crown for more than three years and my experience with them is excellent. They have a group of professionals that handle all your concerns about rent and manage your property in the most appropriate, way giving you peace of mind. I highly recommend their services.

Read the lease carefully before you consider signing. Here are some of the highlights:



-Management doesn't have to give any notice before entering.

-Any Realtor has unrestricted access to the property via a keybox during the last 60 days of the lease without any notice. And if anything is stolen during a showing,

the tenant agrees to hold the management "harmless".

-Storing a gasoline in an approved container puts the tenant in violation of the lease

-Management can remove any vehicle parked on the grass, sell it, and keep

the money from the sale

-Management will not tell you if there is a home owner's association or not

-If rent is not received by midnight on the 1st of the month, there is a 10%

fee. Use of the US Mail is "at own risk". This is regardless of weekends and

holidays.

-There "may be" a check processing fee. Nothing in the lease about what this fee is, just that there may be one.

I've been using Crown for property management since 2007. They are always available, are fast to respond and are very knowledgeable about their business. Their rates are fair as well. I've had nothing but good service with them. I'd definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a property management company.

I have recently worked with Crown Realty. They were very helpful in finding a suitable house as well as getting me the information needed to get it leased in a timely manner. After the move in they have been attentive to my questions or needs to help make the process seem less. I would certainly feel comfortable in recommending the Crown Realty Team to anyone looking for a new residence. JH.

Although we have not moved into our property yet, we have been very please so far with Crown Realty. We absolutely love the home and can't wait to move in next week. The communication has been wonderful and they have been very flexible and accommodating with our relocation from MD. Scheduling our visit at the last minute over the holidays, arranging for our appliances to be delivered prior to our arrival and adjusting our walk-through date/time.....these are just a few things they have happily helped us with thus far. We are very happy so far!!!

My family and I just moved in to a property managed by Crown. They've been great every step of the way. The sign-up is all automated. The townhome was in superb condition at move-in. Communications with everyone at Crown have been friendly and positive. It's been a very good experience so far!

I've been using Crown Management to handle my rental property for about 7 years. The staff is very helpful and they take care of everything. Documents, payments, service calls can all be done electronically and this just adds to the ease and convenience of working with Crown. This has been a big plus since I moved to another state. With Crown I don't have to worry about a thing, it's all taken care of of.

Overall

I have been a client/property owner of Crown Realty & Management for just over a year and have been quite pleased with the quality of services I’ve received since moving my investment properties to Crown from another Atlanta-area property management firm. As an out-of-state investor, Crown provides me with a level of comfort that my properties/investments are being managed effectively and the tenants are treated with respect.



In my various business dealings with Crown’s staff I have always found them to be very professional and responsive.



During the recent renovation of one of my properties, the contractor recommended by Crown was as concerned about costs as if the funds were their own and was in constant communication with me during the renovation period..



Crown’s comprehensive suite of property management services actually lets my passive investments be truly passive.



I would not hesitate to recommend Crown Realty & Management if you want a partner to manage your investment properties or are looking for a reliable source of rental housing.

New Improved Website!!!

I know there are some negative remarks here, but Crown has recently made some wonderful changes to their website, making it easier to navigate, find info you need easier & made my experience with it much better! And the customer Service is now just that, good service with me the customer in mind.

I hope I'm catching you before you make the mistake of signing a lease with Crown. Ask for the lease prior to signing, and read it in its entirety. Fees & Fines! The fees and stipulation fines are ridiculously expensive and are put in place to drain your pocket book. Life happens! As a landlord, you need to understand that, and be willing to work with your tenants, instead of "sticking it to them." Especially, if you are dealing with a good tenant, who has paid their rent on time consistently. There is no such thing as "normal, wear and tear", when leasing from Crown. I will guarantee you that Crown will find a way to nickel and dime you. Document EVERYTHING, keep all written paperwork, and save all written correspondence including e-mails. This 30 years in business claim, doesn't mean a gosh darn thing if you're not good at it. Sounds more like delusions of grandeur. I would strongly encourage you to do your research...visit the other boards and the BBB reviews.
