Unfortunately unprofessional and bad business etiquette..we had an issue since we got this rental with Ms. Shawna, after deposit was made early she stopped communicating. She was rude and blamed us for not having utilities on for our move in as well. Staff also unprofessional and rude no knowledge at all. Rude comments and bad attitudes about helping their tenants. They don't care about being in good standing with residents to get more future business or referrals. They give real estate a bad name. It's unbelievable how we got treated.

No a professional at all. Treats clients as an inconvenience. Shawna was very inconsistent. She used multiple phone numbers and text both me and my husband randomly even at 10 pm and then does not reposed to messages. She did not fix the things she said she would. She bribed others to give her a 5 star rating. I would not recommend.

I highly recommend Red Apple. As a military family, being away is inevitable. However, ever since we left our property at the management of Red Apple, all our worries have been put at ease. Our property has been maintained and kept up with at the management of Red Apple. Shawna has been professional and continues to make the process easier for us. She has kept us informed about important housing matters and has helped us address and manage any issues that have arisen.

Shawna was a nightmare to deal with!!!, water pipes in our rental house broke 4 times and tried sticking us with the bill, all the new flooring came up and we were stuck with the bill to fix it when we moved out, but yet the flooring came up in every room. Does not support the troops, had to have my higher ups get in contact with her and she had to respect for them, saying that it was a buddy calling although it was my shop chief
