    Very Negative Experience

    We were excited to tour this property given the price and location. Upon arrival, the agent over the phone was helpful. However, when we shared we wanted a 1 bedroom (stated in the online request), she became short with us and said they didn’t have any. We were willing to tour the 2 bedroom to get a basic idea but right upon entering, we were notified there actually was a 1 bedroom on site. We were directed to the wrong room and the agent was very short with me stating she had texted me all this… information, which I wasn’t receiving. We were placed on hold for over 10 minutes while she worked to find the correct apartment. Finally, the agent came back on and asked how we liked the place… we reminded her she asked us to wait on hold and she snapped at me again stating she sent me multiple texts. I told her I wasn’t receiving anything and we had been waiting per her request. We finally were directed to the right location in a different building but by that time, we were really rubbed the wrong way. The tour ended up taking twice as long and we were given attitude by the agent which was very off putting, given these were mistakes happening from the agency’s end. Would suggest that more professionalism is employed for future potential residents.
