Out of state landlord needed make ready/eviction follow up for missing rent Aug/Sept and ended up moving in November 2021. Could have been better cause you end up doing more work than you paid for. Unless you hound them for information, I didn't get my list of cost till December 2021 after owner occupied in November. All the cost were never approved in advance in writing, and inflated invoices, and lack of care in work completed, and lack of supervision of vendors was the end result. here the examples with pictures/video.

- you will never got bids for contractors before until asking over

I worked with Sue Ellen Lopaz to find a house to rent. She was so helpful and when we couldn't get the first house we looked at, she made sure to send other houses in our budget until we found one. She was so helpful every step in finding a house.

I needed a apartment near UT. Within a few weeks I was able to find a quality apartment for a great price. Their realtor are super helpful, they make you feel welcomed and show you lists of all places that would take an eternity to compile with a simple google search on your own.
I’d skip google searching, going to other realtors, and go directly to them.

I lived in Austin this past year while attending UT and, really, I lucked out by landing with Harrison-Pearson. I was desperate that my place wouldn't become a distraction while I was in grad school, so I made a concerted effort to find professional, competent property management, which is apparently difficult near the campus. During the year, HP was flexible, responsive, attentive, and understanding, and I loved the property itself, which had an excellent quality-to-price value.

Flexible from the start, HP allowed me to forgo some of their usual turnover tasks - fresh coats of paint, small

I rented a small work studio apartment in the Clarksdale neighborhood in Austin, Texas managed by Sam Pritchard with Harrison Pearson and lived there for about a year and a half. Unfortunately the apartment had some electrical issues that couldn’t be fixed in a timely manner. Sam kept me informed as to the status of the electrical project and… when the project was delayed, I was unable to continue living in the apartment. Sam went above and beyond what a tenant would ever expect from a property manager. I had to have surgery and Sam called me up and offered to do whatever he could

As a long time renter of places, Harrison-Pearson has been the best company I have rented from. When I was first moved in to my home, I needed to take the lease immediately from another tenant. They made the process as smooth as possible, transferring everything over to me. They also said I could put in the pet deposit slowly over time as there was rent and deposits coming all at once.
    When the house was getting sold (owners choice, not Harrison-Pearson) Cleo was amazing. Other places I've rented from wouldn't give a heads up that they need to show the house and strangers would

Extremely pleased with Harrison Pearson! Five stars ***** A++++! We have leased with them over three years in the same home. The new property manager, Deanna, is very kind, efficient, professional, and communicative. We recently had a maintenance request and she had the maintenance contractor sent right away. The contractor and I had communication issues and I accidentally missed the appointment, but she was extremely understanding and offered a different appointment time. All is fixed! The maintenance, by the way, has always been top notch! In and out in ten minutes. Such a contrast from our last

We were getting ready to take a year-long trip around the world and needed to rent our home and cabin to have income for the trip. We connected with Sam Pritchard at Harrison Pearson and he was absolutely the right property manager for us. We were very particular about who would rent our main home, because we were keeping it fully furnished and didn't want to come back to a mess. Sam found the perfect couple to rent our home for the entire year and when we returned it was in immaculate condition. He also worked hard to rent our cabin and found someone who took great care of it. While

I rented a house in Buda that was managed by Harrison-Pearson. The agent who handled the house was Sam Pritchard, who is a super guy and a great property manager! Everything always got handled right away, and done right. It was the first time I had rented in over ten years, having been a home owner, and I loved not having to figure out all the repairs for myself! Thank you, Sam!

I was a client of Harrison Pearson as a renter for six years. Guy Eastburn, the agent, was the most responsive landlord I have ever worked with. I would tell him something was wrong by text or by phone and he would have someone out there at most by the next day to fix it. Very easy-going, honest, and responsible.

I used Sam Pritchard to help us find a house when we were relocating from Austin. He is patient (I'm neurotic and texted him a lot), he helped with ideas but was not at all pushy, and overall I trusted him to get me into a good fit instead of just a fit that paid him well.

I had rented an old house managed by Guy Eastburn for over two years and were satisfied with his services. The lease termination was flexible (month by month after a year) and our rent had been only increased once by a reasonable amount.

The only unpleasant experience, which was not Guy's fault, was that we had encountered a new owner who had recently inherited that property and had no idea about the previous conditions of the old house. The new owner, who seemed to be quite unpleasant to deal with, tried to deduct all our deposit to pay all the pre-existing damages of the house after the

While I lived in Austin for only 2 short years I did so in the same apartment. I lived near downtown and campus in a small 10 unit complex which was well kept and managed by Sam at Harrison Pearson. The management was always quick to respond and had clear communication. I'd recommend leasing with them after having experienced poor management with other companies around the state.

Dealing with this company has been nothing but difficult. Slow and ineffective communication followed by confusion and lack of action on their part.

Lack of concern about failed air conditioning in the middle of Austin summer is completely unacceptable. I would stay away from doing any kind of business with this company.

My wife and I were duplex renters with Harrison-Pearson for many, many years - and in particular, Guy Eastburn. One main concern when you're a renter is how well owners and agencies respond to needed repairs and general housing problems. Guy was always easy to contact and he sent people out to fix things as soon as he could. When we bought a house, our close date was moved back a couple of weeks and we couldn't move out of the duplex on time, Guy was very cooperative in giving us the extra time we needed. If I were still in the rental market these days, I definitely would ask Guy to help

Well, I'm sure not going to rock the boat here with a favorable review.
These folks were my landlord for my commercial space. I kept calling to report rodents crawling around in the ceiling but couldn't get them to show up until I held the phone receiver to the ceiling so they could hear it for themselves. We also had an AC leak in the ceiling and after two months of water sitting in the carpets (they just wanted to vacuum up the water) they fought to replace the mold infested flooring. The last straw was when they wanted us to sign a contract accepting replacement for the AC units that

This company does absolutely nothing for you. I rented a duplex that was managed by them. I have lived there for almost two years now. When I ask for simple repairs it would usually take over a week and multiple emails for half asked work to be done. They had agreed to fix all kinds of things around the place when we went to renew the lease, and they wanted to raise the rent. So we agreed to raised rent for the repairs. The repairs never happened and the rent went up. After a few more email exchanges they aren't going to do repairs and instead sell the house. So we got nothing. When they sold

This company is extremely rude and snobby. They were rude to my client when they went into the office. Then took our application money after doing a "preliminary" application and denying them based on nothing, would not respond either to emails asking for a reason. I believe they were discriminating about my client from the start asking me very intuitive questions about who this person was. I will not work with them again, that's not how the business works!

The managed our condos that have 12 units. Every time we called about getting repairs or maintenance taken care of, they acted more than put out that we were calling. When we questioned the cost of some repairs or requested multiple bids so that we can get the best prices they REALLY acted put out. Often, nothing got done until repeated requests were sent.

We have switched management companies and I am SHOCKED at how much we had put up with at Harrison Pearson. oh- and the new company is almost HALF the price.
