So-called Property manager, when asked about the leaves in the gutter, said "We'll get those done." When subsequently asked during move-in and with the gutters still overflowing, said, "The gutters have gutter guards! Yay, right?" Okay, but they are still overflowing. "It kind of piles up this time of year...but as it dries it, it will probably just fall off." Okay, so not responsible for them. "Nope."
Imagine the surprise when this company vindictively tried to charge me for a gutter cleaning. Moreover, they attempted to do the same for myriad other issues, most of which were raised prior to

My landlord recently switched to Wilkinson Property Mgmt. Don is my point person and he is very easy to work with and responsive.

I previously posted a review before completing moving out as Wilkinson solicits you for reviews before you have completed your move out process. I'm returning because of my awful experience during my move out. I was never notified of a date for the move out inspection. After 30 days I received part of my security deposit refund with deduction for carpet cleaning (which they had already required me to pay upon moving), and charges for cleaning and trash removing. I have photos and video that the place was left cleaner then when I moved in (I moved in having to clean because it was filthy...I documented

As an agent I show multiple rentals and work with lots of different agents and property managers. I’ve had the pleasure of working with 3 here at Wilkinson. Keith Rudisill, Lorraine Deavers and Beate Whitesell have all been responsive and helpful when I’ve needed assistance with one of their rentals. Thank you!

We used Mary at Wilkinson for six years, and she was always prompt and attentive. It gave us peace of mind while owning a house in a different state to use a property manager. So glad we went with them!

My housemates and I were looking at a property that is managed by Wilkinson Property Management. We were working with Lorraine. We applied on a Monday. We were told we would hear something within 2 days. The days passed and we received no updates at all. We continued to reach out and consistently received false deadlines. We would call and receive no call back. Response time was days later. The communication was poor and unprofessional. Our application was complete on Monday. However, she reached out to one of our housemates on Thursday night to verify employment information. How can you say that

I have had only good experiences with Wilkinson whenever I've had an issue. Keith is always very responsive. On a very hot day, the AC system stopped working. The entire system had to be replaced. Even in the best of times this can take up to a week. With COVID slowing everything down, I braced for the worst.
Not only did Keith promise immediately to have it fixed, he made sure that it was done the very next day. There wasn't a single hassle.
I have been extremely pleased with the attentiveness to other issues in my unit as well.
There are so many horror stories about management companies, it

My partner and I were renters in Parkfairfax for 4 years at a property that was managed by Wilkinson. Our property manager, Beate Whitesell was excellent right from the start. She was kind, professional, responsive and reasonable. Over the course of 4 years a variety of strange and not-so-strange things required us to interact with Beate to solve issues with the property. She made it all smooth and easy. I can only guess that our landlord's experience interacting with Wilkinson from the other side of the transaction was just as positive. Keep up the great work!

We've been with Wilkinson PM for a year by know. Our manager Mariano has always been very helpful from day one. He assisted us every time we had a request and provided good communication with the owner of the house to meet all our needs. We appreciate the service and the level of respect they have for their customers.

Wilkinson has provide great service for me over the years I've had them. They were quick to respond to my questions and concerns and were able to address my issues very quickly. For example, my sink disposal had to be replaced and they had a company contact me right away. They are up to date with the latest technology and made paying rent very easy in their portal. They have always gone above and beyond in their efforts. I am always a happy tenant.
