Your employees have walked me and my husband through the process. Tabitha Pasley has been very helpful in answering any question we have had in a prompt manner. You made the application process easy and I just really hope that I didn't forget anything else on the pet forms. I'm looking forward to renting from you. Thank you!

JacobGrant team was very good with us. They renovated the house (mainly floor, carpets, walls, painting) before our move in. Completed all the maintenance on demand. Thanks the team for the great service. Special thanks to Amanda and Cate. In addition, they offer a details inspection during move in and move out. They expect to have very clean stage during move out. Might charge for deep cleaning and painting, but it is good for the new tenant. The rest deposit they return without any delay. Overall, we have a very good experience during our stay. Hopefully, others will have the similar experience as well. Best wishes.

Awesome as always. (One thing).. I think the Z portal is a bit buggy. It failed to log me in yesterday then after a password reset, it worked for a few hours then failed to accept me. Human error is always possable, as is my cellphone reception and refresh rate but I'd bet a few Las Vegas velvet chips that it's a software glitch.

I've worked with Jacob Grant property management for several years now and they have been a great partner. They think of the things that I don't have time to think of. They come to me when we need to make bigger investments in my property, but most of the time, they just handle the issues that come up. Their team is proactive with their communication and if I reach out, they are responsive to my inquiries. I strongly recommend Jacob Grant for anyone looking for a good property manager.
