I’m so happy to see this. Dodson wasn’t the best but Evernest has been hell. I can’t even get in touch with the property manager at all. I have called on numerous occasions and get told, “okay, I have your name and number and I’ll pass it on right now so she would call in the next couple hours”. Never anything. The was a point last year that our AC went out and it was 80 degrees in our Apt. I have Asthma and I have pets… we had to load up and stay in the car for a few hours just to breathe and not pass out. Called emergency maintenance multiple times and said they thought someone already came out. And they didn’t end up coming til like 3 days later. If I didn’t have a car to go to, I 100% would’ve passed out in there. Also has the washer broken for 2 months because they kept switching maintenance workers. Can’t wait to move out of there in a couple months. Fucks Evernest.

Never knew that area was called springhill or that it's historic. Funny that they allowed those generic monstrosities of apartments to go up in that district.

I know the lines can be technicalities -get it a lot in JW when we randomly find out a developer's lot is not in the historic district and everyone is shocked - Looking at you "The Penny"

Oh yes, because their vast staff have ample time to parol historic districts. The board is not just "fancy architects". In fact, there is only one architect on the board. Most are volunteer citizens, usually nominated by the neighborhood associations who care about preserving the historic character of their neighborhood.

I was just thinking of places outside of nova/Richmond/HR that have a Deep South feel and also have a sizeable population. Didn’t want to include Appalachia because I think it’s distinct.

Also it’s one of the towns I’ve actually been to. I’m sure south Boston is similar but I’ve never been.

I live in a single family home managed by Evernest. I can tell you with certainty it was not a "merger". I know people have lots of nightmare Dodson stories but I have rented properties from them for about 7 years now. Up until this last property (going on two years) we really didn't have that many problems. The owner at our previous building was quick and responsive and things were fixed in a timely manner. Since this "merger" the service I have received from evernest is absolute ass. Almost to the point where I've needed to go to the owner of the home and tell him how it is. If I want anything done I have to email high up the chain and threaten to contact the owner. The maintenance supervisor they have now does not respond to calls or emails. You would be better off shitting in one hand and pissing in the other... you'd get more results. My latest least renewal was over a9 percent with a 200 dollar renewal fee. Which is absolutely absurd. I was able to get it down closer to 5.5 percent which I feel is a reasonable increase but it felt like an act of congress. Long story short.... don't rent from Evernest.

Lol I'm currently under contract for a condo with an HOA managed by Dodson/Evernest. We were square til it was discovered that a couple of the units were behind on payments because they respectively either had disputes or technical issues with the payment portal that Evernest hadn't bothered to fix. The sellers and residents have worked together to fix it but Evernest is taking their sweet fuckin time updating the questionnaire...we're supposed to close this week but am fairly sure it'll get pushed back a couple of days. Gonna join the board after this and push for change of mgmt. Fuck these clowns.
