Hardwick, Inc. Real Estate

Some of the lowest rates around campus! like it is shocking. I have lived here for almost two years now and have never really had any problems. Love the staff too! Just an all-around good place to rent from, especially if you are a student!

I have always wanted to live on Campus. When I found Hardwick Inc online I fell in love with the property and area! It was very convenient to look at the property online without visiting dozens of rentals. And it was THE first time ever I had brand new carpet when I moved in! I met Liz she is the tenant advocate and she's the best always & I just love her whenever I need anything she makes sure it gets done. I've been a happy renter 3 1/2 yrs and counting. I would recommend to anyone looking for a suitable place to rent.

I haven’t had any issues dealing with them so far. Every time we have had an issue they have resolved it quite quickly. They communicate with us promptly and were understanding about a personal issue we are dealing with.

I’ve been living in one of their properties for 10 years and ever time I have an issue they come within 24 hours.They are so friendly especially Elizabeth thanks for everything

I have been renting property from this reality company for the last 3 years the office manager Elizabeth is amazing always willing to help very kind and understanding.

I love them. They are very eager to please their tenants. They are prompt and professional at all times

In all honesty, the reviews and the track record of this property managing company speaks for itself but here’s my 2 cents. It's abundantly clear why there are numerous complaints against them. The management team is utterly incompetent, failing even at the most fundamental aspect of their job—communication.

What's more appalling is their deliberate sabotage of third-party work assessments, evidently to prolong delays until they can force their own overpriced services upon you. And their aversion to directly engaging with tenants or coordinating necessary apartment access for maintenance work is just unacceptable. After all, isn't that precisely what we're paying them for?

For anyone considering their services, heed this warning: if you're eager to fork out money for a property manager who contributes nothing but headaches, Steve is your man. If you relish the idea of shouldering the day-to-day management burdens yourself, Steve is your man. And if you're fine with them employing underhanded tactics to drain your wallet with unnecessary repairs, guess what? Steve is your man once again!

Consider yourself forewarned.

I recently had the misfortune of dealing with Hardwick, Inc. Real Estate for an entire year, and I must say it was an absolute nightmare. As someone who invests in real estate all over the country, I can confidently assert that I have never encountered a property management company as egregiously incompetent and dishonest as Hardwick, Inc. Real Estate.

First and foremost, Hardwick, Inc. Real Estate shamelessly misrepresents financial figures, making it clear that they have no qualms about stealing from their clients. The numbers presented were consistently inaccurate, and it became evident that their primary skill lies in creative accounting rather than effective property management. It's alarming to think that they are entrusted with handling finances, given their blatant disregard for honesty and transparency.

To make matters worse, Hardwick, Inc. Real Estate seems to have a pathological aversion to the truth. They have a knack for lying about property issues, creating an environment of constant uncertainty and frustration for property owners. It's disheartening to discover that a company supposedly hired to manage properties is, in fact, actively working against the interests of its clients.

In addition to their deceptive practices, it has come to light that Hardwick, Inc. Real Estate would intentionally leave properties vacant and fabricate issues. This disturbing strategy allowed them to exploit the situation further by hiring their own family members to perform nonexistent maintenance work, all in an effort to make money through deceptive means.

However, when I took matters into my own hands and hired independent contractors to assess the property, they found that there was nothing wrong with what Hardwick, Inc. Real Estate was claiming. It became evident that their family members were being used as pawns in a larger scheme to generate revenue through dishonest means.

Maintenance issues, which Hardwick, Inc. Real Estate claimed were significant, were either nonexistent or easily fixable. This revelation only emphasized the extent of their deceit and exploitation of remote property owners.

The staff at Hardwick, Inc. Real Estate are not only unprofessional but also remarkably rude. Any attempt to communicate with them is met with condescension and a complete lack of courtesy. It's baffling how they can justify their behavior when dealing with paying clients who deserve a basic level of respect and professionalism.

To add insult to injury, Hardwick, Inc. Real Estate seems to be stuck in the dark ages when it comes to staying up to date with industry standards and technology. Their archaic methods and lack of innovation only compound the myriad problems faced by property owners under their management.

However, the contrast couldn't be more stark when I decided to switch to a new property management company. The transition has been the smoothest process ever. I hardly ever have to check in, as they efficiently handle all aspects of property management. This newfound experience has reaffirmed my belief that competent and professional property management companies do exist.

In conclusion, after enduring a year of frustration and disappointment with Hardwick, Inc. Real Estate, I strongly and wholeheartedly advise anyone considering their services to not hire them. This company's practices are not only unethical but also bordering on criminal. Save yourself the headache and financial loss by choosing a property management company that values integrity, transparency, and professionalism – qualities that are sorely lacking at Hardwick, Inc. Real Estate.

Do not rent here unless you want to be horribly disappointed. After my apt was broken into they decided to only pay for bars on half the windows. This was after I had found out that the two previous tenants also had their apt broken into. So it took three tries for something to be done about it. And the "mess" that was left was food left in the fridge and freezer, but apparently it was enough for them to keep my whole security deposit.

This is one of the biggest groups of idiots I've ever had the misfortune of renting from. First off, they told me about our neighbors money problems (they rent both properties) when I went to pay my rent. They charged us for a ridiculous work order, when I mentioned that our garbage disposal was broken. They guy came over to fix it because, as he said, "I'm not doing anything." came over, took out a bottle top that had fallen in the disposal and left. We get charged for 10 seconds of work. They haven’t fixed any of the things I actually asked for. They did re-roof the house, after everyone moved in. This meant we had workers on our roof at 8:30 in the morning, without notification, asking us to move our cars so they could park. These people are incredible idiots, and dealing with them is a nightmare. If you can find another group to rent from in Columbus, I would highly recommend you do that.

Do not rent here. There’s cockroaches and I told them several times. They only filled up holes in the kitchen, they refused to spray the whole building for them. They claim to have an emergency line for if something happens outside of office hours. One night I lost my key and called about 10 times before they picked up and told me they were on vacation and to not call again. When I moved out I cleaned the apartment meticulously and they still charged me fees out of my deposit. Every time I spoke with the office they were rude.

NEVER USE THIS COMPANY THE WORSE COMPANY IN MY LIFE they are so broke they charge for every little thing I haven’t lived here a month and they have been nothing but a pain currently suing them !!

Unpleasant reception when calling about property an Bait an switch with prices. Not a good sign right off the bat. I will look elsewhere.

They find many ways to keep your money
