Summers Real Estate

We just signed the contract to rent a beautiful house that we found and let me tell you that the process it was quick, convenient for all of us (since we live 3 hours away) in just 2 days everything was completed and everyone in this office they are so nice. Thank you for all the support that we received from your office.

Apartment that we were viewing smelled like cats urine but lady doing the showing straight up denied presence of any smell with a straight face. What a joke

We were late on a payment because our entire house was under quarantine with covid. We pay with cashier check. Couldn't go to the bank to get the check with everyone contaminated. They threatened to evict us in 3 days (while we were still quarantined) if we didnt produce the check. Lets contaminate the world Summers. For such a pleasant name the woman who owns/operates this business is completely diluted with power. Ive lived across this country in houses and apartments with some of the worst slum lords you could imagine. This woman was less understanding. Horrible human.

Critical: Quality, Value Due too my poor credit score I was denied an apartment. I've had 2 different lady's show me property's, and still felt defeated. Nothing screams poor management than someone who just looks like they want the cash over the people they let into their rentals.

I don't know why there are so many negative reviews, we just started renting from them, and they were very helpful and professional. I look forward to continuing our tenancy with them until we are in a position to purchase a house.

Critical: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness they are terribly rude, they are not professional at all!

So this review is based on the experience of trying to start the process of renting with this company/based on the first appointment. I made an appointment with this rental company over two weeks ago and my first impression was good. They were friendly and I thought it was a good option. However fast forward to the appointment date itself and then I noticed they were not there so I called them to see where the realtor person was.

I was told that appointment was for a different time as originally told. Ok fine. as we waited at the property for 30 more mins the realtor showed up at 11. that was a good sign we thought. however as the person showed up she looked like she was not happy to be there at. She barely greeted us and said "come on in" as we did. She was weirdly quiet and didn't really show us the place like we thought.

So we took it upon ourselves to look around. The property was decent and checked some of our boxes off that we looked for. She asked us if we were in a hurry to move and we answered politely we are starting to look. She laughed and said "it doesn't sound like your interested". I was taken back by this and kinda disappointed in the process. I'm used to people who are warm and welcoming when it comes to renting/buying.

She was sad to say neither. So she said that we can apply online or quickly showed us the application she had in her hand. The feeling overall was pretty bizarre and I feel like she didn't take us seriously. I just urge caution with this company (even though I tried to get pass the negative reviews mentioned here and on Yelp) and possibly look elsewhere. I gave this rating based on the website mainly and less the people who showed the place.

Very nice postings. A little pricey in rent, but I guess its everywhere now adays.

Waste of time. If you have little to no credit then don't even waste any time on these people. I spoke to someone on the phone regarding having no credit and was told it wouldn't be an issue as long as i have a co-signed. My dad was generous enough to lend a hand in that but after we gave them everything including the $50 for me and my boyfriend, we waited and heard NOTHING.

Finally I decided to give them a call to ask for updates and the lady was completely rude! She said that the owner wasn't comfortable with the two of us because we have no credit or rental history. Apparently the co-signature meant absolutely nothing either. We're 19, and 20, obviously we're not going to have much. How am I supposed to build up rental history if no one lets you in without it?! I'm definitely staying clear of this place and I encourage you all to do the same. Save yourself the $25/50 AND the time.

Homeowners and renters stay away from this company. I am sure they are breaking the law and hope someone investigates and shuts them down. Someone who wants to be a great property manager in Atascadero seize the opportunity because this area needs a good one. Two good reviews were probably from people Summers paid with application fees collected from "hardworking" people for places already rented. Summers does not understand how to work honestly or hard.

Don't waste your time trying to rent from them. We were looking to rent a house that allowed dogs. We were upfront about having two dogs knowing it can be an issue renting. We found a house we were interested in and were told dogs are OK. As soon as we paid the non refundable fee we received a call stating that dogs aren't allowed and that we should have told them.

They also ran a hard credit check for a rental. There is absolutely no reason for a hard credit check to rent a house. This place is a joke. Stay far, far away. Save your time, money and credit score.

These people are the worst and I would give them negative stars if it was an option. We contracted with them to manage our home rental in Atascadero. They overcharged for repairs, and even after we asked them to run prices by us first continued overcharging. We do not object to maintenance, we object to being robbed. Instead of the agreed couple in the rental we had three single men, a child, two dogs, and three cats living there. Beware of this company if you are the property owner or the tenant.this company will cost you money!

My girlfriend and I just moved out after a six month lease (the owner of the property wanted to put the place on the market, or we would've stayed longer). Despite all the negative reviews here, I honestly found Summers very pleasant to work with. + They were very accommodating when we wanted to move in quickly + They didn't sweat the small stuff -- I was a few days late on a payment or two but explained my situation and was not charged late fees. + The move out process was easy and issue free.

The cleaning guidelines were clear. We hit all the items on the list and got our full deposit returned without any fuss. + Great staff at the office. Everyone was amiable and pleasant to talk with. - Some of the lights were out when we moved in, and there were a couple spots in the kitchen that got missed when the place was cleaned before we moved in.

I can't really comment as to the responsiveness or the quality of the maintenance work, since we never had any problems with the place that required it. Overall: Highly recommended!
