I had a turn of events in my life that left me with a dire situation to find a place to live. I had very little time and stability was necessary for my new career in this area. Carla Sowins herself stepped in and helped me get something to call home. The apartment was beautiful, the staff was incredible, and they always worked with me to meet certain deadlines. If you are looking for a place to call home, then you have found the best team to assist you. I will forever be thankful.

Carla and her team is amazing! We rented through them for two years and anytime there was an issue, they would take care of it. Not only that Carla also helped us by getting in touch with mortgage lender and helped us purchase our very first home! Without them I don't think I would be a homeowner today! Thank you so much to everyone at Sowins!

I rented from Sowins for about two years. They kept the property in great conditionvery clean, all appliances working, grounds nice. They give plenty of warning before entering the property and respond quickly to habitability concerns. These are all things that a landlord should dobut unfortunately many do not. Beyond this they helped me out when I first moved to the area(and another company randomly canceled my move!) and they helped me out when my dad had a health emergency. Its obvious the staff at Sowins takes a lot of pride in their work, the properties, and they want to treat their

Sowins real estate handled our rental property for several years and was our agent for our house sale. We had a great experience w Carla and her staff when we needed help with maintenance and updating items for the home. As our agent, Carla worked tirelessly and always was available to explain the process. Highly recommend them for both property management and selling your home!

So, here's the deal. The staff is really pleasant to talk to, however, there's one major problem. They don't deal with trouble tenants properly. I moved out in April due to the problems with the next door neighbors I had. Constantly loud, always stealing my parking spot, one of their guests even hit and ran my roommate's car. We were told if we found out who's guest it was, to let them know. Nothing was done or said once we did. My old roommate was also verbally assaulted by this same neighbor. We had security cameras and sent a bunch of video evidence to Sowins and to this day those tenants still

I found an ideal unit with Sowins until the unit above me turned over and rented again. The new tenants weren't honest or sober people so I could not resolve my issue with noise waking me up in the early morning hours. They also brought a mix of people to the building I wasn't comfortable with. I bought security cameras to capture and prove the nature of my grievance. Thank goodness I found another place to live and I was able to move. Sowins was efficient in turning my unit over and I had very little problems dealing with the office. In fact I like the majority of the staff and they are quite
