Yes, it’s called the BBB. I don’t believe Property Management companies are regulated by the local board of realtors. If however, ES is brokering RE, then yes, you could call the board of realtors. The BBB was established as a consumer protection arm for customers that are disastified with bad service. It’s an easier way of having your case mediated than going to small claims court.

Wow! SLUMLORDS!!! I recently left an Echo Summit property and now live in a place that actually has quality management. What a difference. Every employee I dealt with at Echo Summit, especially Eric, treated me like I was a nuisance despite having paid my rent on time every month for the past year. Eric, or anyone at Echo Summit for that matter, simply could not be bothered with maintenance requests or my concerns about the meth addicts living next door. The property looked like sh*t most of the time and in fact sh*t could often be found in the hallways. Clearly this management company does not care about its tenants or the people they manage properties for. Do yourself a favor and avoid at all costs. I was ecstatic when my lease ended and I could finally move at the hellhole I was living in.

Dear “Lease”. Are you one of the individuals that Echo Summit reportedly pays to write good reviews about them or are you one of their less than stellar employees? Everyone be advised that there is a post from a past Echo Summit customer who indicated that this company asked him to write positive comments about them in exchange for reduced fees. He too left this company due to inferior customer service. Be careful when dealing with this company.

“Lease” I’d have to agree with Carman. You obviously work for Echo Summit and need to learn how to write or ask someone for a little help writing. I suggest you state your response a little clearer. Plus if you look at the date, you are responding to something to your tenant that posted a very old complaint.

Have you ever worked with owners in property management? Everyone one who rents from Echo needs to ask themselves that question before you blame the company. And the owners posting comments,ask yourself this how many times did the sales agent suggest a price drop? Maybe that’s why your property is sitting, how many times did the PM call and request funds for a repair and you denied them? Look at what you maybe doing before blaming.

I ALMOST signed a lease with Echo-Summit yesterday. I had requested a copy of the lease three or four times over several days so that I could review it in advance. I finally received it five minutes before leaving to go sign it. I believe the delay was done on purpose so that I would not have time to review it before signing. While waiting for the Echo Summit rep (Barb) to arrive, I looked over the lease. I was floored at how one-sided it was and the fact that it allowed them pretty much carte blanche to enter the home and make any repairs they deemed necessary and send me (or the owner) the bill. The late fees were also unnecessarily aggressive. So, I decided not to sign. Thank God, because I’ve read nothing but bad reviews about them and other property managers I have spoken to have confirmed their horrible reputation in the industry for marking up work orders and billing for all kinds of unnecessary repairs. They have 13 complaints against them according to the BBB, three (I believe) of which were unsatisfactorily resolved. There are plenty of other good property managers out there, and lots of individuals that are looking for good, honest tenants. Don’t take the risk by entering into a contract with Echo-Summit!

Empathy for you. I didn’t let my problems get as far as yours. I quickly terminated them and they sure didn’t appreciate that. But I did reach the same conclusion. They treated me well in the beginning and as time went on — I found them rather unresponsive, rude and argumentitive. For example when asked about accounting errors they argued with me and the errors were beyond obvious. Eventually they came clean and fixed the errors but I should not have to review my statements with a magnifying glass every month. There are remedies for your situation.

If the lease does not say when the deposit will be returned they have 30 days plus 7. If they didnt return it by law u can sue for 3 timea the amount.

I’ve been reading all these on-line reviews. I wished I would have taken all these reviews more seriously. These guys have horrible reviews all over the web. Seems like the common thread is they treat you nice in the beginning but after you sign up – you are treated like krap and ignored. There are dozens of reviews like this and even the BBB has alot of complaints.
