Housing for about 5 years. We have not had to call them but a few times for repairs, and they send someone out immediately. Great service and people to deal with! Although we are not your average tenant, because we take pride in our home and treat it as if it was our own making sure all things are repaired or replaced on our own, but when it comes to major things such as plumbing, electrical or roofing I will refer to them as these things are major and prefer they use their own people for warranties and such. Creative Housing and their staff are a great bunch of people!! I highly recommend them to everyone!!!!

Thank you Creative Housing, you guys are the best!!!!!

Great experience with a 2 year rental. The team was immediately responsive to any needs & they were so easy to work with. We highly recommend going with Creative Housing if you need to rent or need property management.

I found Creative Housing to be an excellent rental company and would use them again. Any problems I had were addressed very quickly and my deposit was returned in full.

Renter Beware!!!



This company initially appears to be professional, until it is time to deal with promises and commitments made by the staff. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ensure that you receive an initial walk-through, and make them write down and sign all issues in the house. We were not offered this upon move in (big mistake on our part!). When it is time to move out, they will not offer a walk through. DO IT, and when you do it, make them fill something out stating what they saw. We are currently battling issues over our deposit from the previous house, and being accused of leaving the house "filthy and it stank to high heaven", both things which were never mentioned during the walk through. When we approached them about getting an itemized list, they, of course, were not able to provide it at the time. Promises have been made in the new house of theirs we moved into (definitely would not have if we had known they would turn into witches!) that have not been kept, and no certain answer has been given. Barbie's suggestion to us when asking for a time line of getting issues resolved was to move out. VERY unprofessional. Take your time and money somewhere else!!!!

Do NOT get involved with these people at all!



BARBIE is beyond rude. I wish this place would g out of business, but with Greenville growing they will continue to prey on the unsuspecting innocent. Just wait till you move out.. do not fall for the sweet old lady bit...it is a LIE... Barbie and Peyton are terrible rude people. Once your lease is up and you want to move expect them to show their true colors.



Look around the web... you will find out for yourself... Do your homework...



There are PLENTY of better places to rent from.

Stay away from Creative Housing. Very unprofessional, unfriendly and rude. If there is something wrong in your house, nobody cares, it will not be fixed. I contacted the owner personally and he sent another company to fix the problem in the house.

Terrible...

Doesn't deserve one star, THEY SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN. We rented from them for one week, and then we got the hell out of our lease. I have NEVER been spoken to so rudely by a person before in my entire life. They have a nice agent show you the house and tell you all the things that will be fixed (our house literally had holes in the outside siding, cracked windows that ended up breaking with thunder) but they lie, and when you call to follow up with them they are the rudest people ever! I was getting no response from Roger when he stood me up on the day he was to come and fix many things in the house, and no one was answering or returning my calls from the office, so I went to the office myself. Barbie was there, with her usual scowl. I told her I was looking for Roger or someone who could help me with all the repairs needed. She told me "You can't just come in here! You need to call for an appointment!" I told her I did have an appointment the day before but Roger stood me up all day and never returned any of my phone calls. "You need to keep calling" I started to tell her I had a broken window and she interrupted my loudly and aggresively "I don't care!" and I told her you should care! She then told me that if I was so unhappy I could just leave, by the weekend (it was Thursday). This was the first week of our rental, and this is how they treat people! A person has every right to go into a public office, I'm a paying client as well! It was the most unbelievable awful experience of my life. My husband and I made the plans, and moved out that weekend into a hotel. It was the best decision! We are now happy in our new home.

Found this group of reviews online. I knew my gut was telling me they were shady and I'm glad I researched them before giving them my money. I suggest others not to use this company.

After having our townhouse on the market for three and half months, we decided to look for property management companies to rent it out until the development is finished and we aren't competing with a builder to sell our place|. We called several property management companies and decided to go with Barbie and the team at Creative Housing". She was the cheapest in town (8% flat fee) and boasted of her ability to advertise,. What wasn't to like? Well, we are now three weeks into the marketing, have had a few showings but no action; all this in spite of lowering the rent by $100/month;. So, we decided to list an ad on Craig's List this past weekend with some picture to see if we could jump start the process;. We got several promising leads but couldn't get anyone from Creative Housing to show our place on short notice,. So, we showed it ourselves and sent all the info to Barbie's team thinking we were helping the process. Well, that seemed to rub her the wrong way because she wouldn't return our calls and, after several emails back and forth, we severed ties. I do not recommend using this company to manage your property. They will try to hook you with lower fees and talk about how they are so much more educated than others in the field. The reality is they don't even list the rental on MLS and take FOREVER to get back with you. Worth the extra money to go with a different firm that is customer oriented, uses technology to its fullest and is interested in running a solid business for both owners and renters.

Renters Beware



After being shown a house that this company had listed, I decided to rent it. We had agreed on the length of the lease as well as the price. I took my application fee to the office and was told I would need to wait to put a security deposit down on the home until the results were back on the credit check. The next day I left a message with the office that I would bring the security deposit by close of business that day. When my husband was bringing the check, we were told that the house had already been rented. The company never told us in any message that there was another interested party and that we should bring the deposit sooner. Had we been told this, we would have left work and brought the check immediately. Having a background in leasing and property management myself, I have never come across such dishonest and unethical behavior with a company.

Everything about this company is horrible.



Barbie and Peyton are very unprofessional and complete liars on so many levels. When you first move in, they're nice but when you leave or have a complaint they are rude and don't return phone calls. I left my place spotless and they still came up with bogus reasons why they only returned 1/4 of my deposit. Do not rent from Creative Housing!!



++++++++++++++++++++++++++



I wouldn't recommend Creative housing to anyone.



The Owner Payton is very rude and disrespectful just like her team. they wont fix anything and don't return phone calls. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL and BAD BUSINESS PRACTICE. STAY AWAY in my OPINION

I WOULD NOT ENCOURAGE ANYONE TO DEAL WITH CREATIVE HOUSING. THEY EXPECT TO PAY DEPOSIT AND THEN TAKE YOUR DEPOSIT AWAY STATING YOU DID NOT LEAVE IT TO THEIR SATISFACTION. ********STAY AWAY*******

Having a background in leasing and property management myself, I have never come across such dishonest and unethical behavior with a company. They completely leased the property out from under us. We never even received an apology. To make matters worse, they refused to refund our application fee. They never had written consent to do a credit check either. IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING PUTTING YOUR HOME UP FOR LEASE WITH THIS COMPANY, DO NOT! There are many more honest companies out there. I wouldn't recommend leasing a home with this company either. If this is the way they treat potential renters, I can't imagine how poorly they would treat someone who was locked into a lease.
