Review from the web

Lisa Yeazel is by far the VERY best manager I have ever dealt with & trust me, I have had many in my lifetime. She cleans up the property, genuinely cares about her tenants, on top of everything in the apartments. Letters always go out in a timely manner about maintenance work, etc.. TPPM is also the best Management Company I’ve dealt with! It’s time to give Lisa a big fat raise. She’s wonderful. I will miss her when I go. I wish her & her kind husband the very best. ❤️🌸

Review from the web

I called here and spoke with Rachel. She was very unprofessional from her tone to her implicated demeanor. She wouldnt have an answer for my questions, she would reply well whats your score, well why would you even need a co-signer. It was simple as our requirements for income is x and the minimum score is y And so on. Shes not in the right place of employment. I wouldnt want to deal with that kind of person looking for my next home not headache.
