Negative experience: Robert called me today concerning a house I was looking at and talk to me so nasty. Accusing me of different things . I don’t know this man and yes Thomson is a small place . But to talk to a customer like that is ridiculous. I’m in contact with the owner . I’m not sure who he think he can speak to like that . Never do business with them .

Hi Susan Henson, I am so sorry how it must have sounded. It is not usually pleasant when we turn down rental applications. I wish we could have helped. Good luck with your rental search, Robert

Yvonne Jackson Published on Google 9 months ago

Fantastic experience: Wow! I'm speechless right now. I have been a tenant of Watson and Knox for over 5yrs. Never had a problem. Every issue was addressed and resolved. Maintenance was on point. The staff in the office always nice, polite, and professional. It saddens me that I will no longer be under Watson and Knox's management anymore. Whomever is taking over have some big shoes to fulfill.

Sweet review and we appreciate it! We were sad to notify you about the change as well.
We are not able to come to an agreement with your current property owner concerning ethical maintenance practices. I hope everything works out going forward. If not, feel free to watch our vacancy list and pick one out! Thanks again.

Shawanna Brown Published on Google 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: Robert is a very understanding guy and very professional. He also cares about his tenants. He helped me in a hardship situation, and I am forever grateful. Also, the maintenance and communication level is excellent. If there is a problem, it will be fixed the day of or the next day. I would rent again from Robert and Watson & Knox any day! I highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I would greatly refer anyone to Watson & Knox Property Management Division. My aunt and uncle moved to this place two (2) years ago and they were well taken care of when things needed to be done. There was no hesitation at ALL. I really appreciate Robert and Grace for working with me during the passing of my aunt. Thanks for everything. The complex was and is so peaceful and quiet. Again, referring someone to this company will be at ease and without hesitation.

Fantastic experience: Watson & Knox has by far been the best landlord I've dealt with for the last 4 years. Even though I haven't needed many repairs, they make appointments to get it done right away. There have been cases I've had situations and they were extremely patient with me. If you need a place to stay with trustworthy landlords, look no further.

Mercedes Hamilton Published on Google 3 years ago

Negative experience: I’ll never understand why the credit score has to be at least 620 in order to get approved

Watson & Knox Property Management
Watson & Knox Property Management

Mercedes, no one has ever told you that you have to have a 620 credit score to get approved. Plenty of applicants get approved with less than a 620 score, but they also score high in other categories, like their past rental history and job history. Some have paid a double deposit to compensate for having a score less than 620. Yes, it helps to have a high credit score if you fall short on the job history or rent history requirement, but no one ever said that the credit HAS to be a 620. We think very highly of our owner's properties. They are a very valuable asset and we have high standards for the people that we hand these assets to.

Fantastic experience: As a military member, owning a house and getting it rented out can bring some stress and worry along with the military life. Watson and Knox took care of everything. I didn't have to worry about anything. All the stress went away and they kept me updated about everything. I highly suggest them for your property management needs.

Michael Bailey Published on Google 3 years ago

Negative experience: If you are in a bind and need some place to live, then the price is good. Management is lackluster. Even though we kept the house clean and they sent a monthly bug spray, there were roaches and bugs. We even bombed the house ourselves several times.

Watson & Knox Property Management
Watson & Knox Property Management

Michael Baily, I guess I expected a poor review after we posted the charges to your account last week for removing all the trash, furniture and yard items you left behind along with having to clean. You made no attempt to clean anything. This entire rental experience has been less than desirable. Please do not apply at Watson & Knox in the future.

Jalissa Moss Published on Google 4 years ago

Positive experience: The staff is friendly and helpful however the online tenant portal isn't the easiest to maneuver when trying to contact maintenance because quite a few of the properties aren't necessarily in the best living condition in my opinion. Their qualifications also make it a bit difficult for MOST people looking to get their first place on their own.

Watson & Knox Property Management
Watson & Knox Property Management

Thanks, Jalissa, for the review. Unfortunately, we do not provide maintenance in the community you lived in. We agree that there are issues that need attention and have communicated that to the owners of that property. This has been a real challenge for us, but they are aware and have made recent progress. Thanks again for bringing that to our attention! We also agree that it is difficult to gain approval through our application process. We make no apologies for this. Our goal is to provide the most qualified tenants for our homeowners.

Tama Gay Published on Google 4 years ago

Negative experience: I was kicked out of the house I lived in for 6 years by Ga Power due to faulty wiring and they will not Rent to me.. Says my credit score is too low( due to identity theft, I just found out about) & work on this job not long enough... I have lived in Thomson since 1968 and they will not help me..... I will not pay for an application fee that is going to be TURNED DOWN.... I was told that I would be turned down due to my credit score (low due to identity theft).. And new job.... So No I am not filing an application to be turned down as I have said

Watson & Knox Property Management
Watson & Knox Property Management

Hi Tama,
I'm so sorry you were kicked out of your previous home. When you called the office, we simply explained our application criteria to you as best as we could. You never filled out an application so there was no decision made. Your credit was never pulled. Our goal is to rent all of our vacant rental units, but we must have an application to begin the process. Feel free to apply online at any time.

Sharon Freels Published on Google 4 years ago

Negative experience: If you have bad or not real good credit due to something out of your control, it does not matter to them. They will not even try to help or ask what's wrong.. I don't think they want to rent their units as bad as they say they do.

Watson & Knox Property Management
Watson & Knox Property Management

Looks like we will be getting a lot of 1 stars this season. We have a tough screening process and not everyone can get approved. Our owners expect us to find quality applicants to take possession of their properties and they deserve it. I can't make any apologies for declining applications. I guess we will just have to keep getting 1 stars for our great screening process!!!

JC Published on Google 4 years ago

Negative experience: Worst Landlord EVER!!!! DO NOT STAY HERE!!! You will thank me later. Everything is skyrocketed & STILL OLD as in 1970s OLD, with not a single REMODEL or paint. NOTHING!!!! I hate to speak negatively about them, but it’s the TRUTH. Ask ANY tenant they will tell you. It’s ridiculous & not worth your time or money.

Hi Kathy,
I assume you meant to review another management company. We do not have you listed on any of our properties as a lease holder or an occupant. We have 425 rental properties throughout McDuffie, Wilkes and Columbia counties.

Fantastic experience: Great experience

Abbey Kisses Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough about my experience thus far! They have maintained and managed my bundled insurance accounts for the past few years now and I have never once had an issue. If I need something, they are super responsive and very concise. When I had to file an auto claim, it was smooth and easy - no hassles! When I've asked to shop rates, requested a document, or asked a question, I cant say that I have ever waited more than 24 hours for a response!!! John is my agent and he is the absolute best!

Lisa Sellers Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Watson and Knox, specifically Robert Cort, managed our property for two years. Found him as well as any other employee to be knowledgeable, courteous, helpful and professional every step of the way!! Would highly recommend them to any property owner who wants a worry free experience when entrusting your property to someone.

Deirdre Briggs Published on Google 6 years ago

Positive experience: Initially Watson and Knox were all around awesome! I'd give 6 stars if I could. Honestly, they ARE JUST THAT GOOD. Specific reasons that were out of our or W&K's control led us to move before our lease was up. Not a problem. Unfortunately our newest residence has been UNNECESSARILY problematic SINCE we got here LAST SUMMER. The ONLY piece of *advice I have for futrue tenants is:: MAKE SURE WATSON AND KNOX OWN THE PROPERTY YOU ARE RENTING, 100% CONTROL. Again, to experience a 5 star experience with them, THEY MUST OWN THE PROPERTY!!!!! We didn't know until too late, however, if I can help somebody, it will be worth it. Otherwise, they have great listings.

Watson & Knox Property Management
Watson & Knox Property Management

Hey Deirdre, You and your family have been wonderful as well! I feel bad for you and wish there was something I could do. I do need to make one correction, this is the only property (All 34 units) that we don't have 100% control over. The owners handle ALL property/grounds maintenance issues themselves. We don't have to actually "own" the property, but you make a great point - we must "manage" the entire account (financially and physically) in order to provide our "6 star" service! Thanks for your input as you have been a 6 star tenant!!

This is a company that cares about there tenants Waston and Knoxs Rental LLC. If you do what you suppose too without a shadow of a doubt they will too. I have been doing business with them now for over 6 years or more. If i could give them 10 stars I would.
