Worse company on the planet, from president to shady business and not trustworthy avoid avoid look elsewhere or cancel their contract. put them out of business

Worst than you can imagine. I won't recommend to anyone. Please do your research before hiring.

I am immensely impressed with the prompt and efficient response from Marilu Menendez, the Union Mills Community Manager in Clifton. Her keen sense of responsibility and cooperation became evident when she took immediate action to address a potentially dangerous situation involving a severely leaning tree that posed a threat to properties and people in the area. Marilu's swift coordination with a landscape company to remove the tree undoubtedly averted a serious safety hazard for everyone in the community. I commend her dedication to ensuring the well-being of our community; her proactive approach is truly commendable.

They steal money frim residents. They break state laws there is no customer service. This company should not only be shut down but it and its owners should be brought up on criminal charges

Thieves

My past experiences from the time the company took over Nov 1 2023 for the Schertz community were disappointing. I was unable to get the help I needed until I went to the corporate offices in Dallas and met with Mitzi in resales (who was AMAZING!) Mitzi referred me to Marcia in San Antoinio by e-mail. Marcia did great follow-up, was kind, respectful and very helpful. When using First Service Residential this is the person I would want to have help me.

Horrific customer service! This company doesn’t care about its customers at all and is incredibly unorganized.

Unfortunately this isn’t going well. Update soon. Exchange at Van Dorn

They charged me annual fees for months on end. Then only refunded half when we found out. They are now sending us to collections because instead of crediting the rest they didn't pay us back. They then started to add on fees for non payment of yearly annuals which they had already taken. And fined us for fixing our fence. Trisha Wright the regional manager doesn't listen. We had already spoken to the previous person who was going to clear it and make it right Chasity cook. But she got sick with covid and stopped working for the company. Do not use them our pool and other hoa things were neglected for over 5 years. Terrible company of thieves and crooks. We have now hired an attorney after our meeting with the board members we will be countersuing them and filing harassment. It would take so long to type everything they've done wrong. They are crooks.

expensive, slow, their inaction scrutinizing new tenants has cost me thousands of dollars

Paid for a key fob in my HOA in Shipley Homestead in MD. They cashed my check 3 months ago and no response to emails or VM left. Impossible to get a hold of them. Would give a 0 if I could.

In a disheartening tale of unfulfilled promises and professional neglect, my wife and I began our journey at Arriva Condominiums with bright eyes and high hopes, lured by the allure of a serene, urban oasis. However, this dream swiftly turned into a harrowing ordeal, punctuated by a series of distressing setbacks and exacerbated by the dismaying conduct of our realtor, Ryan Kearns of CIR Realty, and property manager Shelly Hammerli. Their approach was not just unhelpful but laced with rudeness, disrespect, and unsettling racial insensitivity, particularly grievous given my wife's grave illness.

Our ordeal began with the bizarre and inconvenient directive to refrain from using our own toilets for extended periods at night due to maintenance issues. The alternative offered, an external facility, was a mirage, non-existent when most needed. Imagine the despair and indignity of being denied such a basic necessity in your own home.

The challenges escalated with a critical failure of our heating system, a calamity in the relentless grip of the Canadian winter. It took an excruciating seven months for the necessary parts to arrive, and even then, communication about the restoration of heat was as cold and absent as the comfort of our home. The warmth we take for granted in a dwelling became a daily uncertainty, a relentless reminder of our vulnerability.

Yet, the most piercing blow came from the indifference and lack of empathy displayed by Ryan Kearns and the property management. Our pleas for assistance and resolution were met with a chilling apathy. Any attempt on our part to assert our needs was twisted into false narratives of aggression, a hurtful echo of racial stereotyping that no individual should endure. The intersection of my Black heritage and my wife's Ukrainian identity seemed to color our interactions with a bias so blatant and discomforting, it was as if our humanity was questioned.

Recounting this ordeal weighs heavily on me. The true essence of a home extends far beyond its walls; it is fundamentally about the reliability, service, and respect provided by those responsible for it. In this regard, I am compelled to caution others against engaging with Ryan Kearns or considering a residency at Arriva. The facade of professionalism and hospitality they present is just that—a facade, masking a reality starkly devoid of genuine care and support.

A home should be a sanctuary, a place of refuge and respect. The disregard and disdain we faced have left an indelible scar, one that I share in the hope of driving change and reminding those in real estate and property management of the paramount importance of accountability and respect, regardless of one's background. It is with a clear conscience and a heavy heart that I must advise against any association with Ryan and Shelley, for their service was not just inadequate; it was, regrettably, dehumanizing.

If I could give NO star that would be fine. I have tried to work with them, as a resident and Newsletter Managing Editor for over 2 years, since our Board hired them and got rid of Leland (an HOA) with great ratings. That was a mistake but our BOD and President of the Board are uneducated and power hungry. I was terminated (fired) by EMAIL Thursday, Nov 15 by the Royal Highlands HOA manager Keneshia Shepherd for NO reason. Only that they thought they knew better and made working with me impossible. Never returning phone calls, not answering voice mails and rarely making any common sense in emails. I was a great Editor and did a great job. They said they had some complaints, but they could not produce them in writing, as it was office gossip. They are now attempting to run our place like a Nazi Dictatorship sending out e-blast emails everyday with new rules; although a small group and Directors have no rules. The BOD and Management does not allow residents to speak their mind at Board Meetings and much more. I pray we are able to keep up our property values. I have lived here over 20 years and never had any problems until First Service came in; as they have screwed up every endeavor from how they treat residents, to the Guard Gate, to the auto payment, overwhelming paperwork to only borrow a meeting room for a meeting or etc. It is apparent they do not like old people, so why are they in business for FL HOA's and sending in inept staff that do not respect residents and also they do not respect or like Veterans. This is just the tip of the iceberg - they are horrible at everything they do. Do NOT ever use this HOA and now we are stuck with them, or fighting them. At this point - it will probably only get worse. Royal Highlands community, Leesburg, FL D. Binder

Terrible company -- only cares about money and steals your money in a brutal way. It was a nightmare going through the management of this company as a tenant. Will stay away from anything and everything this company involves. It is a shame this company is still running.

A MONSTER COMPANY THAT SPREAD ALL OVER THE US AND HAS A BUSINESS MODEL DESIGNED TO STEAL YOUR MONEY. JUST CHECK THEM ON FACEBOOK

FSR is a company whose management, regional directors and supervisors do not care about your community, enforcement of bylaws, DCCRS, requests for access to records, or state laws. I have seen them apply members to annual meetings ballots, who did not qualify per the documents, and wouldn’t respond once confronted. They will pick and choose who they will apply late fees to or send letters of notice for being behind on assessments. I’ve seen them, in open session of the meeting, give advice to violate state laws regarding notice of meetings, due process and enforcement of the documents, talk about the members they are there to help, and speak poorly of their own supervisors while in open session. They get kickbacks for using their own lists of vendors, who are overly priced, even down to family or extended family. This company is unprofessional and could land your association in litigation. Be careful, do your due diligence and look elsewhere.

Terrible company! My wife and I bought a townhome in Minnesota that is within an HOA run by these criminals. We’ve emailed them for over a year to fix our garage door as it falls within their required fixes and now they’re just straight up ignoring us. Last response I received was over a month ago even though I email and call weekly. Do NOT buy or rent if these people are involved. They’re running a laundering scam and do not follow through on their agreement to take care of the residents within the HOA.

First Service Residential is a horrible company to have to deal with. They charge homeowners fees that aren’t warranted and when you provide them documentation to show them otherwise they use bullying unethical collection tactics to get the money and threaten homeowners with having to deal with their attorney. If the fees were warranted and they were operating above the board and ethically with integrity they wouldn’t have an issue with providing the documentation/transparency. When you provide proof to them in writing and have the documentation and they know they are in the wrong they start using unfair collection tactics to try and scare, intimidate and bully homeowners. They lack professionalism and Integrity.

Be careful with this company-FSR has a reputation for bankrupting HOA condo budgets. I know of a condo association that was bankrupted with FSR constant fees, loans and invoicing that were told work was needed for with their many associates with their own fees and invoices. Very aggressive and not trustworthy at all-be careful what you agree to or sign when it involves them. When they walk away the condo association will be left paying for all the incurred bills! It will affect the owners!

I have been living within a condo subdivision managed by First Service for 4 years. The Rules are selectively ignored, applied enforced, and Management is deceitful, even to the extreme of concealing a pending lawsuit from owners. As a direct result of discriminatory, selective applications, enforcements, concealments of Rules I have been continually damaged. The neglect is shameful. The manager favors certain owners, permits them to rent to individuals that do not have respect for others, the property. Rodents, roaches, security issues.....there is much more I can say, but there isn't enough time or space regarding my issues with First Service its manager, and the Association.

FSR took over Sunset Pointe community Ft Myers in early 2023 completely a failure on many levels poor communication failure to correctly administer payments for HOA fees Employee s quitting thank you for taking out money and providing poor service
