I liked how easy it was to get service through the portal. The landlord was responsive. I think they handled my deposit reasonably. Tip: document the place with photos and video before and after. One suggestion for improvement: provide more detailed responses to inquires

Rented from CRI for 5 years. During that time we made one maintenance call over severe electrical issues and a non working oven. They blamed us for the issues, didnt fix the oven, and only took the electrical issues seriously after duke power came out and affirmed what we were telling them. After that one and only maintenance call they put us month to month in a way that felt like an intimidation tactic. After we moved out and provided a current address they sent our security deposit denial to the former rental and we were never able to appeal. All that to say, they treat their renters poorly

Like everything in life - there's good and there's bad. We rented the house 'long distance' and the process was flawless.
CRI were very responsive to any concern, came regularly to take care of the lawn, and were also considerate of our request regarding the time of day they arrive for lawn work. Be sure to document (with pictures) all and any imperfections in the house, including things which might seem minor such as unsmooth surfaces, paint discolorations, small cracks, dents, scratches, nicks and cuts. We rented for 18 months and never late on a payment (one time we had a 'warning' because

Hands down, Carolina Realty & Investing Group is the best in the industry here in the Carolina's. I've been working with Ann Cabaniss and CRI for 10 years now, having bought and sold 2 homes with Ann during that time and having just purchased a 3rd last month. All of which went very smoothly and both sales ended up being notably profitable. They have the Golden Touch!
Ann and the CRI team's level of care, responsiveness, knowledge of the market, and overall reliability are absolutely unmatched. And the best part is that you're treated like family, as opposed to just another transaction. Bottom

I have worked with Ann and Chris Cabinas since about 2006 as they manage my investment properties in Charlotte, NC. I recently (7/31/18) purchased my 4 th property and Nicholas Cabinas was my agent. This is a full service RE agency that handles both sales, purchases, rentals and offers full property management services at reasonable rates. Without their help and guidance from when I was a novice till now, I could not have managed to keep my properties rented and have a monthly positive cash flow. Thank you all!
