In almost 4 years of business, Rathbun Realty did one thing for me; cashed checks. While they did find a renter for me that paid on time, they CONSTANTLY would take liberties with my property and make decisions without consulting me. One month they offered the renters a 50% discount on rent and didn't even tell me about it until I noticed I received half the money. They also never held the renter liable for anything; always putting the blame on me or my property. They did inspections every 6 months (and charged me for it), but when the renters left, my property was a total disaster. The renters stole things like my gas grill and propane tank and Craftsman yard tools, and Rathbun Realty told me to file a claim with Small Claims Court. They didn't do anything. All in all, I paid over $110 per month for nothing. I will never even use any property management company again. That's how disgusted I am. Also beware of their sister company, which is a painting company. Oddly enough, almost every single ""repair"" that my property needed was related to painting; which is probably a conflict of interest or some kind of fraud.
