Reames Realty & Property Management Company - Tacoma, Washington

I contacted dave reams directly through a recommendation from another land lord and he responded very promising sending me a link through email to fill out an application in which I paid 42$. He said it was his day off so I told him it’s all good and to get back to me when you’re working again, yet 4 days later I messaged and called him to no response. He left me on read, wasting my time and money when this is supposed to be business for him. Very unprofessional on his part and I wouldn’t recommend doing any business with this guy, I feel scammed out of 42 dollars

If it was possible to give them zero stars I would! They're unsatisfied that we followed WA state laws and regulations regarding our notice to vacate within 21 DAYS!! Due to their likely loss of a month's rent, they chose to be ignorant and childish and redeem the money by any means necessary. I find it odd, our invoice amount for repairs and a so called cleaning equals our corresponding down deposit amount. Actually, we now owe .88 cents Additionally, the invoice received has the same exact address of Reames Realty! Sound like a scheme if there was one! Beware anyone looking to have a respectable realtor!! I'd highly advise you look elsewhere!!!!! The professionalism showcased by this company is appalling... If there's any review you should trust out of the 5 given thus far, it should be this one!

After finding the New York Apartment complex on several online apartment apps and websites, I fell in love with the units. They were listed within my price range, and as available. After I met with the associate at Reams Realty, she showed me a beautiful 1 bedroom apartment that I loved and wanted to lock down. She told me as long as I put down at least $200 for partial deposit, I could reserve the unit, and that it cost $995/month including utilities. I sent their company a check for $200, and proceeded to send checks to the company until my full $750 deposit was paid in full. It wasn't until AFTER I began to put money down on my deposit (over half of the deposit was paid), that I was informed the unit would be $100 more per month in rent, and that I would not be able to move in on the original date agreed upon in person.

I gave the company the benefit of the doubt for misinforming me of the rent and allowing me to put money down on a unit that was falsely advertised both online and in person, because I really wanted to live in this complex. I was shown several other units that were of far less quality, and weren't suitable for my needs. I maintained that I wanted my original unit, and that if they couldn't work out a deal with me, I needed to know right away so I could receive a refund and search elsewhere. I was assured a deal could be worked out, so I stuck with them. I was then was ignored via text and phone calls for days when asking for a written agreement of the terms we were working out to ensure it was set in stone, since I hadn't received anything in writing yet, and had already put down my entire deposit. Finally, I told the company I wanted a written agreement of my terms or I wanted my money back right away, and their secretary called me and rather rudely informed me they can't accommodate me after all and will send me a check for my deposit. It has been 3 weeks since I've waited to find out the final word on this unit, and have wasted my time and money while being ignored and misinformed.

I have rented many times in the past and this has been by far the worst experience in the way of customer service, false advertisement, and follow through on the agreement.

My husband and I came and looked at a few units and let Dave know that we would be looking to move in about 2 weeks. He said all we’d need to do is put down a deposit and he could get us into whichever unit was available at that time. The rent for the one we wanted was advertised at $1095 and when we spoke with him he said the same thing, then later in conversation said it was $1195. When I inquired as to why $100 more, he said he never said the other price. We figured it was a mishap and 2 weeks later we came ready to rent. We found a unit we liked and he said “just get me the deposit and the keys are yours” so we brought him the deposit, asked for the keys and he said “it’s too late tonight I want to get home for dinner, I can meet you Monday” we set a time to meet between 10-11, he said he’d be there. I called him Monday at 10:30 and he said he wasn’t in Tacoma. I asked him when he thought he would be and he said he had no idea.... Then proceeds to tell me we need to pay $85 for background checks (which was never discussed prior) When I told him it would have been nice to know that in advance he said “Listen you came by a month ago, didn’t rent, then you come by all the sudden ready to rent which is not a normal situation, I’m letting you move in 2 weeks early, I don’t want to rent to someone who’s stabbed someone before” Basically just grasping at straws saying anything but I’m sorry for miscommunicating to you. Obviously the background check wasn’t the issue, it was the lack of communication. He also talked ill about every prior tenant who had lived in the units which put a bad taste in our mouth. He never called me back that day to get the keys (even though he had our $1k deposit) and we spent the next day calling him with no call back. Finally we were able to get a hold of him and get our deposit back. We both feel we really dodged a bullet not renting from him. He isn’t straightforward and doesn’t care when he miscommunicates. We found a much better spot with a far more professional property manager who we can actually trust and are very glad we didn’t end up renting from Dave! Do yourself a favor and record everything he says or get him to put it in writing right away because otherwise he’ll just act like he never said it and you’ll be the one paying for his mistakes!
