I'm an active investor and I am glad to see Morris Property exposed. Ever since Judy Rose took over the day to day operations of Morris, the service has been bad. Phone calls and emails go unanswered and they don't manage your property or money very well. Without my authorization, Dave Hendershot charged me over $1,200 to cut a branch off of a tree. Although, I'm available 24/7, he did this without contacting me and then refused to take it off my bill. Judy Rose is only looking after the bottom line at owners' and tenants' expense. I am now shopping for another firm to handle my investment properties. I will never recommend Morris Properties to either new or experienced owners.
I couldn't agree more with the prior comment. I too am an active investor. Judy Rose and here staff are looking out for there own bottom line and nothing more than that. Forget owners. As to owners of properties, there is excessive overbilling, churn and burn and excesssive turnover. I was billed $580.00 be internal maintanence to fill a "small hole in the bedroom wall" and paint. Morris Property has routinely exceed their contracual authority incurring and approving over $250.00 without my consent and knowledge. Their internal accounting is questionalbe to say the least. I question their accounting methods and my questions are rebuffed with 'no anwer'. Management sides with employees, always. As to Dave Hendershot, he is now a manager who ignores owners in whole. The same applies to Judy Rose.
They placed tenants in a nice home I own who, after one month, failed to pay and Morris Property bought eviction proceedings, the legal cost to date being over $350.00 plus half the rent to place another tenant in additions of lock changes ect the total cost being over $1, 500.00. The new tenant who, after one month, failed to paid rent and and thus another eviction proceeding and another eviction proceeding and another placement fee of half the rent plus a change of locks ect that will cost north of $1, 500.00, again, by internal maintenance staff. The total loss including mortage payments is in the 6K to 7k range for this one property, for a period of 3 months. Placement of tenants is best best questionable to specious. Invoice statements do not meet standard accounting protocal. I would not recommentd Morris Propery to any owner of property. These are my opinions only. -Owner
