REALTY EXECUTIVES WATSON ASSOC

DO NOT RENT FROM HERE. They may be a 3 here but even lower on Google. Moved in with holes and stains in the carpet, house battery failing, needing filters in everything, and more. put in a maintenance ticket and some of it never got fixed then I got charged for the repairs moving out. I normally get my deposit back and they kept all 3k plus tried to charge more. It will never get paid. I am not paying to remove the owner's pool chairs, or replace the fridge filter that needed to be replaced when we moved in. I sent 15 emails with pictures of things that needed repairs. The only time maintenance ever came, was when we stated we would be doing it, and if it messed up it was on them as I was tired of waiting 3 months for a maintenance man to show up. The personal can't all agree on anything and are fine to deal with until you sign the lease than are as rude as you can get. I don't understand how they still get business. I get how they make money tho. You can only pay rent online and it is a $25 fee Plus each transaction. They never give deposits back, and add a bunch of fees. They are one step up from a slum lord and I recommend going anywhere else. Rolla and drive is better than this place.

They left drywall dust everywhere when they were doing construction work for the home owner. They said we had to clean it all up. I ended up having a lung infection and they said it wasn't their problem. They finally sent a cleaning crew to clean after a week to get out. They are horrible.

I can not recommend this company

Very knowledgeable and professional. Only showed us properties that we would be interested in. Were very accomodating when asked to see the property. Would recommend.

Realty Executives was the third property management company we saw when we first moved to Fort Leonard Wood. We were discouraged not only at the rentals we had found with other companies, but at the quality of property managers. That is, until we met Sharron Gillam. She was WONDERFUL! When we first started working with R.E., she did whatever she could to find us a rental, and we found one in 2 days. During this process, she talked with us about buying, something we had never considered being a military family and not knowing how long we would be in a certain place. Long story short, we went from renting a house, to buying the house we were renting, with Sharron there every step of the way. She was always eager to help, had NO problems answering any questions we had (which were a lot, as we were first time home buyers). Mix her wonderful personality with her quick British wit, and you have one great lady! She will be our go-to gal when it comes time to sell our home!

We first contacted Realty Executives when we were still stationed in Fort Polk, LA about renting a property in the Waynesville/St. Robert area on a year lease. We have two dogs and a small baby so it was important for us to find a place asap. Our budget was about $1,000/mo. We were initially only going to be in MO for Captain's Career Course for about 9 months. We weren't too picky, just asked that for the place to look decent, be clean, and in a less low traffic area (not on the interstate). This is harder than it seems in the area than I originally thought. We looked on AHRN and found many properties we liked, but they were being snatched up like hot cakes. Also, due to false promises of leasing by soldiers coming to the area, not many realty places will hold a property for you without having a signed lease and at least a partial deposit. I was not going to sign a lease before seeing a property in person because many things are not seen in person. Also, if a lease is signed and you decide not to rent the property upon arrival, you lose your deposit. The day we were to arrive we were going straight to Realty Execs to sign a lease. Appx 2 hrs away, we received a call the property was rented to someone else. This was how the next week that followed continued as well. We also noticed that many of the properties we were shown did not meet our expectations. It was mainly due to room size or the location of the property. Dave Holbrook, the manager of Realty Executives, spoke with us about helping us find a property to rent. He briefly mentioned a property that was a brand new construction up for sale. After speaking with my husband we decided buying was our best option. The rental market is ,clearly, very stable here and competitive. The best reasons for buying in this area are: we now have an investment when we do PCS and we pay less on our mortage than we would have in rent. We did not have a good experience trying to rent from Realty Execs, but as a property owner we look foward to our relationship with them in the future as our property managers. Word to the wise: act quickly if you plan on renting in this area.
