Last night (yes, less than 24 hours ago on a Sunday night, no less) our basement main backed up and we had a couple inches of standing water in our basement. This came out of nowhere with no warning. I contacted Shirley, and she immediately called me back and said she'd get in touch with a plumber ASAP, but warned me that labor shortages had caused some delays lately. Well, about 22 hours later, the plumbers just left and our problem is solved! It would have been sooner but they were delayed on a job that took longer than they anticipated. Kudos to Pikus Real Estate for the fast response and the

I have worked with Shirley for the past year and a half. First, leasing a house from her, then being able to purchase that home. Any concerns or issues were handled promptly and professionally while we leased the home.
Shirley was always in contact with me. Was with me through every step of the way, even coming to the closing of the house. The Resident Portal was fast and efficient to use. I highly recommend Shirley and Pikus Real Estate. Thank you Shirley for bringing a dream come true together for me!

Shirley is very unprofessional. My roommate & I applied for her units and she rejected us, which is understandable but I called her just to ask why and see if we could provide more information and her professionalism is embarrassing. Her son, Sean, told us completely different information when viewing the unit in comparison to what she had told me over the phone. Her attitude was very, very nasty.
Her son had contacted my employer for job verification, yet she had lied to me about that as well. If you look at above reviews from people who left bad ones, you can see she replies with the same nasty

Shirley is a rude individual and thats all i gotta say, not to mention every bad review she has, she responds with unprofessional attitude. (Look at her responses, its ridiculous).Thats exactly how it is speaking with her over the phone, not the best quality to have when youre a business woman. All in all her properties were very well kept, but you have to make sure you like the person , not just the place.

Shirley and her son are very unprofessional. My roommate and I were told 2 completely things by the both of them, and then continued to be disrespected by Shirley when the issue was brought up. Even after we were told that the issue would be looked into, we were completely ignored and were never responded to after weve emailed and called them.
