  RACIAL DISCRIMINATION CONCERNS John Firnhaber, the owner of this company, handles listings and also acts as a sales agent. I initially reached out to him through Zillow regarding one of his properties. Zillow requires enough personal information that someone can easily identify you through a simple Google search. As a licensed sales agent, there are ethical standards and codes of conduct that must be followed. These standards prohibit discrimination or redlining based on race. On his listing, John requested that interested applicants text him directly, which I did (see screenshots). He did not respond to my original message about the property. I found another property and it just so happened he was the realtor on that property as well and reached out, no response again. This was about a month ago. Today, I unexpectedly received an email from him inquiring about a tenant for immediate move-in at 5909 Signal Point — the same property I had originally contacted him about. Given the sudden outreach only when an immediate tenant was needed, this raised serious concerns. After receiving that email, I followed up (see screenshots). Shortly after sending my response, I received another notification stating that my email was not delivered because my address had been marked as spam. Based on these events, I am concerned that I was racially profiled. I am not difficult to identify online, I am a public figure in the Austin area and SBO and it appears my information may have been searched. I have no criminal history, strong credit, and a positive rental history. There is no legitimate justification for denying communication or access to an application. I believe I was unfairly treated due to being an African-American applicant. Please be aware of this situation.

  I read the other reviews here and in other sites, and a lot of them are very accurate. I have been trying to get information about a lease for a property at 500 E Riverside Dr for the last week. John and Kaylee both have avoided talking to me at all. They don’t respond to emails either. I have sent inquiries, and nothing. Nobody asked me what lease term I was interested in or anything. Literally, the only thing I was sent timely was a bill for 1st months rent, Pet and security deposit. They sent that before I ever even saw a lease. The lease finally came and it was written for 6 months, which I would not be interested in. They did send another version a day later with it extended to a year lease. I had other questions about verbiage in the lease that seemed to indicate I would be responsible for glass breakage and plumbing issues with no mention of whether it was due to something I’ve done. It was a valid inquiry in my opinion, especially if you scroll down and read reviews of actual tenants of theirs. I will never do business with this company. The only pleasant interaction has been with the girl who answers the phones there. I hope she finds a better job, because she probably deals with a lot of angry people all day.

  Kaylee Howitt is an awful accountant and representative of PMT. She hung up on me when discussing my tenant ledger and how J&J illegally towed my car from the complex Update: she likes to act like an accountant or the owner despite being an admin assistant. The way John runs a business is very bizarre and unprofessional.

  We've been living in an apartment managed by these guys since 2023 and the 3-4 times we needed maintenance (e.g. broken window from hail, water leak from ceiling, expired fire alarm) they've always sent a technician over pretty promptly in a day or two. We haven't moved out yet, so can't really speak to how the move out / deposit process will look like, but so far they seem to be reasonably responsive to maintenance requests.

  Incompetant and trying to screw you over. Document everything, keep backup copies. My lease required a professional move out cleaning, for which I paid $150 to one of their approved vendors. Gave them the receipt with my keys. They deducted from my security deposit anyway. Fortunately I had taken a picture of the receipt for proof. Pro Tip: They deduct (coinidentally) $150 for no move out cleaning. During wampus move out season, most cleaning companies wanted much more than that. May be worth skipping the clean and letting them take it from your deposit.
