In this review I will try and spare you a rant. On the positive side, Bob Schmitz did replace the dishwasher in the house upon a request/service call (I would guess it was 20-25 yrs old). This last winter however, as you may know, was pretty cold, and the old house was incredibly drafty. Also, about 20 feet of water pipe was plumbed outside of the house to the kitchen which meant it froze on at least two occasions. I'm pretty sure that is against code. The major gripe I have with this company is getting back the security dep... read more
Bob Schmitz is a horrible establishment which has figured out that although most people assume they will be getting their security deposit back, once they've moved away it becomes very difficult for them to argue any of it back. Genius right? I'm sure Susan Cole has prided herself on the strategy. Or maybe its her little secret.. Bob seemed like a nice guy actually... just out of touch. Anyways. Bob Schmitz charged me for all kinds of things I would never have expected... dusting blinds, changing lightbulbs, removing trash t... read more
PERFECT for a student and her dog, affordable, charming! – I have had an incredible experience so far with Bob Schmitz properties. I was living in Massachusetts and I needed to find a place to live without being able to come down to North Carolina before I started graduate school at Duke. I wrote an email to Bob Schmitz properties inquiring about a few of the apartments I had seen on line. Not only did Laura Grey reply right away telling me more about the places, she even offered another option I had not even seen based on m... read more
Terrible property owner – Try living next to one of his properties--he will rent to anyone and doesn't care how irresponsible or loud they are. I called to complain about his tenants (loud parties, garbage on their lawn, parties that spill over onto my lawn) and the property manager told me to get over it. Bob Schmitz doesn't seem to care about other people who have to live near his rentals, as long as he makes his money.
they went out of their way for me – I've had a very positive experience with Bob Schmitz Properties, particularly Laura Gray. I met Laura in the midst of a small crisis - I was adopting my first dog from the Durham shelter and at the last minute my landlord denied the adoption because he is a pit bull (Mr. Wiggles). I immediately began looking for a short-term place to stay that would allow me to adopt him. Also, it had to be cheap, because I was forced to pay two rents for several months until my original lease ran out. To ... read more
Great Service, Great Home, Laura's Awesome! – I moved from Austin, TX to Durham, NC earlier this summer and had to find a place to live sight unseen. Laura was super helpful through the entire process and took into account my unique needs, given that I was moving from out of state and have a 4 year old little boy. When I found a place that I really liked, I told them it was a little more than I was looking to pay and they helped me get into the place by dropping the rent a little bit (it wasn't much, but it was every little ... read more
Excellent service. – We have been extremely pleased with our experience with Bob Schmitz properties in the several months that we have dealt with them. we moved in 8/3/11 in the middle of the worst heat spell in NC in years. We really appreciated how well maintained our duplex was, the air conditioner never seemed to struggle in 100 + degress and the ceiling fans kept the cool air moving around. Everyone in their office as been kind and professional to us in all our dealings. Laura and Susan were so helpful in getting the ri... read more
Definitely recommend! – I lived with Bob Schmitz for 3 years and wish I could go back! I moved out of state when I finished my grad degree and am renting from a property manager that is proving just how awesome Bob Schmitz was! I chose my apartment because of its proximity to Ninth St. and East Campus and could not have been happier with the apartment or the service. The apartment was in great condition when I moved in and anytime I had an issue it was taken care of same day. I once locked myself out of the apartment at 5PM,... read more
Rip off Artists... Do not Trust Them with your deposit!!! – First of all, the reviews like mine are from real tenants that lived in Bob Schmitz Properties... hence the same issue with being ripped off with the deposit. My story goes like this: I lived in one of Bob Schmitz townhouses for 2 years and never paid late. The maintenance crew are fast and waste no time in getting things done, but the service stops there. I moved because I found a better deal and it was 1 month before my lease was up. I called the office and inquir... read more
