Gloria is a LIFE SAVER!! My family of 6 is renting from a leading competitor, our experience with them has been a NIGHTMARE. We are having to move in an emergency situation due to black mold poisoning. I called around to handfuls of people with no luck, but Gloria jumped in right away to help our family find a new, safe, and well taken care of rental! She is the calm to our chaos!

I lived in an apartment on Franklin Avenue for a year and had a great experience. The apartment wasnt perfect (minor things like scuffs/ scratches) but the rent was more than fair for the location, utilities were cheap, and management was always responsive. Our emails were answered within 48 hours, if not sooner, and anyone we spoke to on the phone was always professional and helpful. Lydia was always kind, helpful, and professional, which made renting much more enjoyable. Maintenance was also great! Any requests we had were completed very quickly (sometimes within the hour) and maintenance

Horrible experience. Rented us a house uninhabitable (paint peeling off walls, holes in floors, no smoke alarms installed) Lydia Patterson ignored my calls and emails for 2 days. Had to speak to the owner, Russell, to get out of the lease and get refund. I was denied a walk through before moving in because of Covid and the video they sent did not show any of the damages. Would give 0 stars if possible.

I lived in 32 E state street apt 1 and my experience there was awful. The apartment had a field mice problem because one of the doors was cut off at the very bottom and left a large gap to the middle of the door. The window A/C unit provided didnt work initially and I had to repair it for it to work and it still was making a very loud noise I couldnt get to stop. The heating and A/C barely even worked for the entire house. The bathroom door came cracked and looked like it was about to break at any moment. The paint on the ceilings will be sure to fall off too if you take too many showers

Literally, they listed my home and forgot about it. I had to call in to check after showings. Secretary calls to schedule showings. I met my realtor 2 x. Once to list it and again when he picked up his signs after unlisting. He called once to ask me to pay for advertising! In our situation, they were not aggressive to work to sell my property.

Russell was very patient and did his research for us when we were looking to buy. Very knowledgeable about the area and the pros and cons of living in most neighborhoods. A true professional. As a whole, the team at AREC made buying our first house very easy.
