Thanks Wendy!
Negative experience: Renting from this place has been the worst experience of my life..I agreed to rent a home through them for 1300 a month. The home was roach invested the staff and the owner was very rude and heartless...They never finished none of the repairs every month they add more and more charges that I know is very illegal..I was not told about any of the 500 dollars in extra charges .They waited until you move into the property to harass and demand the money...They keep changing the rental portal charging more and more money to pay your rent and you have to use the portal cause they won't take the money in office...I'm disabled and this has really worsened my health...I would not never refer this company to anyone it is straight from hell. .THE WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE

Fantastic experience: I rented a beautiful little midtown apartment through Meegan at Ole Bay Realty. She was so professional and accessible through every step of the process. Her beautiful personality was a bonus that added the cherry on the top of what could have been and usually is a stressful experience. I would recommend this company in any real estate transaction. if you need friendly, competent and over the top customer experience in Mobile, it's Ole Bay!
Thank you Jackie!

Thank you Kesha!
Fantastic experience: So far, this has been the best response time and professional experience I have ever had with a leasing company. Please continue to treat people how you are currently treating them. This company has impressed me with how it handles its residents. You do not get this kind of treatment from other leading companies. 5 stars no doubt.
Thank you, Tommy, please let us know if there is anything we can do to assist you.

Thank you for your kind words.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely easy to rent from, prompt service, Meegan and Tim were always prompt in returning every call/email Highly recommended!
Thank you Steve.
Fantastic experience: Amazing place to rent from. Everyone that I met was so kind, professional, and so helpful. They truly made the entire renting process work around my schedule. Meegan was also so amazing with answering any question that I had, and was always available and/or responded to answer my questions promptly. I have rented from other places and waited days or even weeks for a call back, and this is not the case with this rental company. They truly are there to help in any way they can. I will definitely continue my rental experience with them, and would highly recommend them to friends. Ask for Meegan, she is amazing.
Thank you for your kind words.
Fantastic experience: I've thoroughly enjoyed renting under Ole May Management. Anytime I've had a question or needed something, they have always been quick to respond and easy to work with. Meegan is always helpful. She's quick to follow up and makes things simple and stress-free. She's a big reason I've had such a good experience as a renter, honestly. I very much appreciate how smoothly things are handled. They care about their tenants.
Thank you for your kind words!

I highly recommend Ole Bay for their professional management skills.

Fantastic experience: Ole Bay Management has been managing several properties for a few years now. We continue to trust them with more. Tim and his crew are excellent at screening tenants, staying on top of maintenance issues and work hard at keeping our units full.

Thank you Wendy. Meegan is great!
Fantastic experience: I’ve rented with Ole Bay Management twice and have had a wonderful experience both times. Tim and his team are friendly, professional, and communicate clearly every step of the way. If any issues occur that result in needed repairs, they are quick to communicate with the home owner and get a vendor out as soon as possible. They truly make renting easy. I highly recommend using Ole Bay for your next rental.
Thank you so much for your kind words.
Fantastic experience: I’ve rented from Ole Bay twice in the past for rentals in mid-town and Semmes. Tim was also my broker when buying my current house. The Old Bay staff are so friendly and helpful when I had questions. I’ll refer this company to anyone looking to rent or buy!
Thanks Tiffany, it was a pleasure to work with you.

Thank you, it is always a nice to speak with you.
Fantastic experience: Great customer service

Fantastic experience: I relocated from Clanton to Mobile and I was currently still living in Clanton and Megan was on point. She gave me a list of rentals and have been very professional and her responses in email have been quick! Anytime I had an issue, she assisted me and was very polite! They immediately sent someone out for any issues or concerns. I would refer them to anyone!
Thank you for your kind words. Meegan is great!
Fantastic experience: My experience with Ole Bay Management was nothing but positive. They were right on top of things in every step of the rental process. Megan answered every question I had in a timely manner. I would recommend them for all your rental needs.
Thank you for your kind words!
Fantastic experience: I have been with Ole Bay a year nd some months now, I find them to be super helpful nd always on time with any problem that may arise,
Fantastic experience: **⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️** I couldn't be happier with my experience with Ole Bay Property Management! From the very beginning, their team has been professional, responsive, and truly dedicated to providing top-notch service.

Fantastic experience: Tim does a great job managing homes in Mobile. Thanks Tim for your help!
Thank you, Henry, It was a joy to chat with you.
Fantastic experience: We loved renting from ole bay. We felt right at home and didn’t have any issues! Meegan and Delayne and Tim were all awesome to work with. I highly recommend this business!
Thank you for your kind words
Negative experience: Very unprofessional worst I’ve dealt with doesnt have respect for tenants or their privacy also very uncooperative when it come to needs of tenants, also be aware of your privacy being invaded an disturb while renting with them. I wouldn’t recommend doing business with these people
I am sorry you feel that way. You were being evicted for not paying your rent and I was checking on the property to make sure you were not destroying it. There is still a balance due on your account and we have reported this to collections.
Fantastic experience: Ole Bay managed my rental from 2006 till July 2023 when I also had them sell it for me. Tim and his team at Ole Bay always did a bang up job for me and did a great job during the sales process. I'd recommend them to anybody looking for residential real estate as an investment or to sell in the Mobile area.
Thank you for your kind words. It was a pleasure to work with you.
Negative experience: I wish I could give them half a star ! Do NOT RENT WHTH THEM !! TIM IS VERY UNPROFESSIONAL AND RUDE !!
Negative experience: 1 star is entirely too much for this company!! I have never seen such an unprofessional, horrible communication, make up the rules as you go company in my life. TIM has got to be one of the worst people I've ran across! I don't see how he sleeps at night knowing he talks to people all kinds of ways and tells them he wishes he never rented to them.. I'm so glad I serve a great GOD because that man will definitely take you there.. Do yourself a favor and think 3X about renting from these people!! Counting down the days to our lease is up!
The lease you signed had very clear rules and regulations that you chose to ignore. You paid rent late 10 times out of 18 months with several of the rent payments being returned for NSF. Not only that, when you vacated the property, you left it a mess.
Positive experience: Very very overpriced for the area and size of the homes.
I am sorry you feel that way. If you would like to discuss this further please call the office.
Thank you,
Ole Bay Management, Inc.
Negative experience: Is it possible to hate every single thing about a company? We've had so many problems with Ole Bay that it's no wonder they have a 2.7 rating. The owner, Tim, is unprofessional and has the worst communication I've ever seen in an owner of a company. I'd rather eat a box of nails than to EVER do business with them again. Counting down the days until our lease is up. Please don't ever do business with them. Take your business elsewhere!
Fantastic experience: Always very helpful
Thank you!
Negative experience: I wish they have a zero star, dont west your time and your money
Negative experience: There are reasons they are 2.7 stars out of 5. I was just under contract to buy 4 units from them (ole bay represented sellers). It is my right as a buyer to walk away from a deal legally if I have a home inspection contingency. Long story short, plenty of issues arose during inspection so I chose to walk from the deal. They are currently trying to not return my earnest money. This is like highway robbery in Alabama. There is no reason for this. Please stay away from doing business with these people. At a fundamental level, good people do the right thing.
Yes, we represented the sellers, but we cannot force them to sign a release agreement. That is completely out of our hands.
Fantastic experience: Lived in a rental for 5 years. Anytime there has been an issue such as appliance needing repair, after hours service, or even damage from hurricane, they have always been quick to respond. Very professional. Would definitely recommend.
Negative experience: I scheduled an appointment to view a property and the property manager did not show up. When I got in contact with the office I was told that the agent was fully booked and I would have to reschedule. I drove 45 minutes to get to the property, just to have my time wasted. Will never do business with this property management group. The lack of professionalism was unappealing. Do better.
Fantastic experience: Angelique and Delayne made my rental experience at Ole Bay totally stress-free. My application was processed quickly, and they have responded quickly to every email I have sent. Wonderful team! Plus I adore my new home :). Love Ole Bay Management.
Fantastic experience: Ole Bay gives the best experience to rent from. They follow through with work orders in a timely manner. They have the best customer service that always leaves you feeling valued. They truly make you feel like family and maintain business professionalism.
Negative experience: I had to rate this a 1 to get to this review site. They should get. -10. I called about a property and was told they could not take applications until the next morning at 8:30. I was at their office the next morning before they opened. I inquired about the property and was told they already had an application from the DAY BEFORE. I told them when I called the day before, I would have come in then. OH WELL!!!!!! was pretty much their response. Avoid....
Fantastic experience: Our home was lovely, I'd only wish we could have bought it. Beautiful painting through the nice floors, wonderful locations next to the cranes country club
Negative experience: This place wheels and deals and LIES. I would Not Recommend This Place, to anyone. Not even worthy to get one star zero stars for OLD Bay management!
Fantastic experience: I rented from this company for several years. They are very quick to fix repairs that's needed, and always called me back. I would highly recommend them.
Negative experience: We rented from Ole Bay Management, and while we did not leave on the best of terms, we were garnished for our mistake. Paid IN FULL. And now a year and a half later are being garnished again for the same issue. I think that Ole Bay should have better record keeping.
Fantastic experience: 5 stars, thank you! I have rented from Ole Bay for several years and never had any issues. The office staff is incredibly nice and accommodating and the maintenance staff is top notch. I highly recommend this company to everyone.
Positive experience: They respond promptly. Always polite and friendly.
Fantastic experience: Ole Bay Management is great! They took all our worry and stress over when they started handling our rental properties. They have been in business for 16 years and have a 5 star rating with the Better Business Bureau. They have only one complaint in all those years and the person filing the complaint never completed the process.
Fantastic experience: We have used this group for over fifteen years to manage our rental property; they have done an excellent job.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful company. I rented with them for 3 years and never had any issues. They were quick to respond to maintenance calls and we’re always so nice when I didn’t understand how something worked. I would highly recommend them to anyone, and would gladly rent from them again.
Negative experience: Rental property viewing scheduled for 10am on a Saturday. Promptly at 10 we knocked on the door as tenant occupied. They did not answer the door. When we called the office there was a recording that said office was closed on weekends and gave no cell phone number to contact someone for something just as this. An email was also sent while waiting and there was no response. If it is that difficult to reach someone at this property management company my concern as a renter would be if there was an immediate need to reach them, I would not be able to.
Fantastic experience: I've been renting for over a year and think they do a great job the ladies in the office are great and when I had a breaker goin out James was quick to change it even meeting me after work late in the day and when he had to go get a new one because I have a different box he went and bought a new one late in the day which I probably would have just went home and fixed it the next day thank you
Negative experience: Do not advise ever renting from this company. They are not honest and do not keep their word.
Fantastic experience: Realty companies rarely seem to get reviews from positive experiences so I figured I'd throw mine on here. I've had experiences with multiple Old Bay properties and have only been treated well with immediate service when needed. For example our AC broke down and they had someone out there day of. Other issues were similarly resolved. Their pet deposit is actually treated as a deposit and is refunded, unlike so many other places. Never had a problem getting back the initial deposit in a fair and fast manner. No complaints here.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful staff and they offer a great selection of homes
Negative experience: Horrible just horrible!!!!!!!!! The lady at the front desk is the worse.
Negative experience: Ole bay management really cheated me and my fiance giving us the run around for over a week i was interested in a home they was renting out and i ask last week could i put in an application they told me i would have to do a walked through first i said ok and asked when could i and they told me after 10/1/16 i said ok the first was a Saturday so on monday at exactly 8am i called and ask to do a walk through the lady said call her back in one hour and then we could do it then so at 9am i called back and was told i would have to wait til tuesday morning at 8:30am so on tuesday i showed up at 8:20am the lady gave me the key and told me to go check it out i did and loved it so when i went to return the key and fill out an application the lady tells me that an application is pending !! I ask how when i have been trying to put in a application since last week and i was told i couldn't then on top of all that y didnt she tell me that over the phone or before she let me take the key to do the walk through?? Y waste my time when she knew i could get that home just unprofessional !! Very very unprofessional !! Dont let them waste your time !!
Fantastic experience: They manage a few houses for me, and do A great job keeping the houses leased as well as maintaining them to keep them in desirable condition. I also have found them to be very professional in the last 8 years that I have used them.
Fantastic experience: I recently had a rent of a house in West Mobile by Ole Bay Management Inc. I wouldn't end the lease if I didn't have to leave to FL. The cooperation and fruitful communication with the office staff were just what a tenant needs. It started August 2015 when I first moved to Mobile. I came over to the office and the front desk ladies were so kind and helpful to advise me with the good lists of nice houses I should check. Few days later, I found a very good house in West Mobile area. Here, I would like to express my thanks to Mike when we had this great lease in the first place. Every thing was clear and smooth. No wonder we signed the contract two days after my family and I saw the house. Throughout the lease term, the maintenance orders always took less than two days to have the work done. The office staff were so professional when it comes to good communication and kind advice whenever I have inquires and ask for repair orders. I sincerely appreciate the good and prompt jobs that both James and Tommy have been doing. They are all GREAT. I would like to highly recommended Ole Bay Management as one of the best property management you need to visit for finding good places for you and for the people you care about.
Fantastic experience: We just moved in to our home a couple weeks ago and have had quite a few matience issues, which is pretty normal for new renters. Ole bay has done an excellent job at making sure everything is resolved and fixed. 95% of the time it is same day repair. So far I am very impressed and appreciate that I feel listened to and respected. I was floored when I read their reviews because that is just not anywhere near the kind of experience I am having as a current renter.
Negative experience: Shady business practices. They require half the deposit with application and won't return it if you pick another place.
