Report
I've been meaning to write this review for awhile, as I had such a horrible experience with Steve as a renter. Similar to other reviewers, I've never been so disrespected. Steve is extremely rude, was extremely difficult to work with, was very belittling, and mansplained to me the role of a property manager when I have myself owned and rented out a house before. He tricked me into thinking that he was the kind of property manager that cares about working with people and their circumstances, which was one of the reasons I chose that house. He was very hard to work with when I had to relocate

The realtor is always super rude and only cares about the money coming in. Refuses to fix any issues the house has, and we have been forced to move out due to these issues and he is threatening to sue me.

Report
I have been a small investor in real estate for over 10 years, and have never encountered an agent as good as Steve Crossland anywhere. I live in Australia and took a risk in 2008 to purchase a nearly new house in Austin, Texas through Crossland Read Estate. Over the 7 years we owned the property, Steve kept us informed of everything that happened, communicated clearly about cashflow, and made sure that the property was managed as if it were his own property. I could not recommend them more highly.

Crossland Real Estate/Property Management has been so good to my roommates and I from the time we applied to current-day three years later. Maintenance (for renting a home) comes asap, nearly the same day sometimes. Our rate has been fair over the last three years, especially for the location in South Austin. We are very grateful and am excited to renew for another year! Keep up the great work and making the residents happy Mr. & Mrs. Crossland!
