Mr. Freeman is great he cares about the house he manages whenever it comes to repairs and all. I’ve been in the home for 3 years without no issues nor problems.

Like Mike who has also rated this company, if I could rate them I would give them a -1000. This is most corrupt company possible. They rent properties that are filthy and are falling apart. Major Freeman is a total crook. Stay away from this company!!

well if i could do a negative rating i would give this place a -5. worst place to rent, renters beware. Worst in customer service, no professionalism, and extremely rude.

I have used J.W. Freeman Property Management for the majority of the past ten years for management of multiple properties. Further, I have been involved with owning rental properties dating back to May of 1981 as well as have had experience as a tenant, so I have first hand experience with other Property Management companies to use for comparison.



Without exception, J. W. Freeman Property Management is the very best Property Management company that I have ever dealt with. I would recommend J. W. Freeman Property Management with the highest honors.



Reading what few negative posts there are, it is very apparent that the poster is blaming the Property Management Company for owner issues, and further either has no concept of how property management works, or else is just venting sour grapes; they don't like the reality of how the world works so they will write a negative review.



As I said, I have multiple properties under Mr. Freeman's management, my properties get rented, I receive my rent on time whenever possible (which is most of the time due to a true screening policy, as opposed to renting to whoever walks in the door), and repairs are handled in a timely manner. Even better, the repairs are of a high quality while being generally much more affordable than I could have contracted for them to be done myself.



Mr. Freeman has a vested interest in seeing that the repairs are done, so to suggest that those repairs are not being done due to his management skills is laughable. You might as well suggest that the man is adverse to making money. More probable, either the repair is not necessary (while not adverse to making money, Mr. Freeman is not a con artist), the owner will not pay for the repair, or the owner has explicitly refused to make the repair. Mr. Freeman has no say in the matter to override the owner if the owner will not pay for or authorize the repair.



The best advice for anyone looking to rent a property is to see the property, be aware of what your responsibilities are (i.e., having your utilities turned on and dealing with the utility companies), and understand that simply because the management company is the only entity involved that you can write a review of does not mean that everything that happens to you in life is their fault.



I have dealt with bad property managers and good property managers through the years, both as a tenant and as an owner, and can solidly and honestly attest to the fact that J. W. Freeman Property Management is the best I have ever had the opportunity to work with.

I have never had any major issues with this place. Every time i have called for someone to come out they would be there the same day or the next morning. I have had issues with them coming out saying they will be back the next day and not coming back. Other than that They have been great. They even worked with me on getting a house while i was out of state.

I would strongly recommend that no one rent from this property management company nor have their property managed by this company. I moved to the State of Texas as an employee of the Department of Defense. I chose the property based on a great location in El Paso, TX. When agreeing to lease this property, I informed them that I expected a thorough walk through upon my arrival. The day of signing my lease, I met Mr. Freeman who portrayed himself as being an honest and helpful business man as well as being retired from the military. I was told during the lease signing that my deposit will be given to me when I move out with the expectation that the house is given back in the condition it was given to me. Yet again, I informed them that I expect a walk through which they agreed. I was told that an unusual cold front was coming in and that lucky for me the Gas will be on in time. Mr. Freeman pulls me aside during that visit and states "If the lady who owns the house comes by, please notify me immediately". That should have been a Red Flag for me. I arrived at the home just to find a doorbell not working, a fire alarm going off every one minute "indicating low batteries, low batteries", the water account established but the management company did not turn on the water which the apparatus is located in the alley in the ground in preparation for my arrival, lightbulbs that were either working or blown from the front of the house to the back, once water established leaks from two places in the house (bathroom and washer unit) and a bathtub with the stopper pulled out (broken and laid on the bathtub). But the the beautiful part was that come to find out the Furnace was not up to code according to gas company and would not be able to come back out for 5 days still after that requiring a Heating and Cooling Company to come out. So during this cold front I would not have heat, oven and/or warm/hot water. My place was inhabitable with the temperature indoors at night hovering 20-30 degrees in this mountainous area with windows not insulated (older home). I informed Mr. Freeman that this place was inhabitable and that I will be going to a hotel and will deduct from the rent. He stated "Please do not do that because you know how rich people are about their money". He stated "you go put yourself up in a hotel and bring me the bill and I will take care of it". Needless to say, upon check out his office was notified of the amount with no response. I personally went to his office with the bill 10 days later and his response was while throwing the bill on the desk "I am not paying this, you will just have to take me to court". He went on to say that it was unreasonable and the conversation that took place between he and I did not. As for the property management I have put in requests for the above items to be repaired several times receiving attitude from some of the employess there when I do call.I have had two appointments where they showed (and said they would be back) and three no shows from maintenance without even a courtesy call. And again no walk through after being on this property for three weeks. When asking Mr. Freeman the name of the Property owner he replied "that name cannot be released and by Texas law it is illegal (funny it is a matter of public record down at the City Clerk office and online). I asked him to provide me with a detailed list of his companies responsibilities to this property and he ignored. As of today, I obtained in his handwriting the remaining repairs that needed to be performed along with a date and time he will show up to attempt repair of them. I WOULD STRONGLY SUGGEST THAT YOU STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!!!!

Worst company EVER. I have had so many things go wrong with this property. We're looking for a new place right now...this is ridiculous. They came and fix one thing and then another thing breaks and then they have the nerve to tell us to call housing. I am going to make a HUGE stink over this. Retired major, whatever! Do not use this company or rent under their management team.

The absolute worst management company I've ever dealt with, by far. Absolute lies from day one. House not clean when we moved in. No walk-through with the management company upon move-in. Several big problems with house upon move-in that weren't addressed for over a week, forcing us to spend a ton of extra money on eating out because we couldn't eat at home. When you call, you get the 13 year old son of one of the employees who knows nothing except how to say "someone will call you back in a few minutes," which they never do. Mr. Freeman prides himself on his "honesty and integrity" and loves to mention that he retired an Army Major. Well, I'm prior military as well and the service didn't teach me to lie, cheat or steal from other people. I guess things were different when he served. Their only saving grace is that we absolutely love the house we live in (which has nothing to do with JW Freeman, it was prepared by the homeowner and JW Freeman just manages it....poorly). We'll renew at the end of the year if they want us to, but not because we want to have anything to do with JW Freeman, just because we love the house. I own homes as well, and rent and manage them myself. It's not rocket science. A monkey could manage a rental property. Not sure what that means regarding a retired Army Major, but I'm sure you'll come the the same conclusion I did if you deal with this business. Bottom line, avoid this business at all costs! Any review you read online will tell you the same thing. And if you do deal with them, have an attorney ready. Thank God I have several in my family.

This is one of those sorry excuses for a retired military member ripping off Soldiers. As My wife and I were PCS's we had to do this separately for military reasons and on the 28th We were packing her stuff up in the truck for her to go ahead of me. This of course is a very emotional time to watch your Family leave you behind for a little while and a lot of tears and hugs and just a very emotional time. As we are in the process of doing this a lady comes by and starts changing the locks on the house. Me of course I had made sure my Wife had everything she needed but all of my belongings were still inside. I almost had to beat this lady off with a stick and tell her she could come back on the 1st when our lease was up. Mr Freeman decided to throw a $120 charge on us for the locksmith having to come back. Another bad experience was when we had to have some repairs done and our jewelry was stolen from our bedroom. This guy is a criminal and do yourself a favor and go elsewhere.

You think it's bad being a renter, try being the property owner. This guy and his minions ripped me off for way too long. They say they did work they never did, they hire illegal immigrants oand use generic invoices to rip you off. They billed me for expenses I didn't authorize and for expenses that were covered under warranty. They do not honor the terms of your contract, and they are rude and defensive. My poor tenants waited, unbeknownst to me, for many months for repairs that never came. In all the places I've done business, this was the least pleasant and the most costly. For all the time I spent intervening, I may as well have managed the property myself. It would have been cheaper and far less stressful. For some reason, they are unable to directly answer a question, too. The answers they do give you look like they were written by a five-year-old--completely laden with crappy punctuation, misspellings, and grammatical blunders. Do yourself a favor and avoid them at all costs.

WARNING!!! For all you out there looking for property to rent and expect great customer service and a great realtor DO NOT rent from this place especially to all you military out there. They are the worst realty company we have ever rented from and have no respect for their tenants or the military service members. They dont like doing any repairs to the homes they rent and you constantly have to be calling them to get anything done to your home. They are very rude and have no respect!! And the biggest one of them all is they dont refund you your deposit and if you try and contact them to find out whats going on with it you get hung up on...dont get caught up in this type of bad experience. You families out there deserve the best and you dont to be fooled by a VERY BAD realty company.

!!!!!!!!!!!!WARNING!!!!!!!!!!J W property management is a crook. I am a U.S. soldier and i gad to PCS to another duty station and him being a "retired major" he cept my security deposit of $1025. When i called him to ask if he sent it after 30 days he said "call you lawyer and i'll call mine" little does he know i am going to file a lawsuit towards him and get what is mine. BEWARE ALL MILITARY PERSONAL AND ANYONE ELSE TRYING TO RENT FROM HIM... IT WAS OVER 100 DEGREES OUT SIDE AND HE DIDNT WANT TO CONNECT THE A/C. HE SAID "THERE IS NO LAW THAT SAYS HE HAS TO DO THAT". I DONT WANT ANYONE ELSE TO HAVE TO GO WHAT ME AND MY WIFE ARE GOING THROUGH..SO PLEASE BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
