Think twice before signing a lease with Abrams Realty! I wish someone had left a review like this before I rented through them.
From the day we moved in, the home had a significant roach infestation that should have been resolved before new tenants were given possession. That set the tone for our entire experience.
When the owner decided to sell the property, it often felt as though we stopped being tenants and became an inconvenience. Showings became a regular disruption, with little regard for the fact that we were still paying to live there. My greatest concern was the complete lack of consideration for our pets. Inviting strangers into an occupied home where animals are present creates unnecessary stress and potential safety risks, yet those concerns never seemed to matter.
Before signing a lease, read every single page carefully. Don't assume their lease is the same as everyone else's. Pay close attention to move-out requirements, including professional house cleaning, fireplace/chimney cleaning, pest control responsibilities, and any other provisions that could cost you hundreds of dollars when your lease ends. These are things many renters may not expect.
If you decide to rent anyway, document absolutely everything. Take hundreds of photos and videos before moving in, keep copies of every email and text message, submit maintenance requests in writing, and know your rights before allowing access to your home.
This review reflects my personal experience. I hope Abrams Realty takes tenant concerns more seriously in the future, because renters deserve to feel that their homes, privacy, and pets are respected and not treated as an afterthought. I'm not looking for a response. I'm simply sharing my experience so others can make an informed decision.

Abrams Realty is, in my opinion, everything that is wrong with property management.
My experience with them felt less like I hired a company to protect my property and more like handing them a credit card with a roof attached. They would never provide the original invoices for work done on my own house while I was under contract. I owned the property. I paid the bills. But who actually did the work, what they really charged, and how much did Abrams added on top? Hidden from me to this day.
That is not transparency. That is the definition of a shell game.
In my opinion, their maintenance setup is where the real ugliness lives. A huge amount of work appears to run through their own in-house company, meaning Abrams can decide the work is needed, decide it is an “emergency,” skip getting approval (because they wrote the contract this way and will abuse it at every opportunity), control the pricing, charge your account, never bother to tell you and collect the money. That is not property management. That is a closed-loop money machine.
And somehow, everything conveniently becomes an “emergency.” Funny how that works when the emergency label lets them move first, bill for the repair, and explain later or since we are being honest, most likely never explain it and make you feel like an idiot just for asking for an explanation.
From what I found, the company doing this work did not appear to have the proper or ANY contractor licensing. Do not take my word for it. Look it up yourself before you let them touch your property. Try and get the name of the company and listen to the lies and B.S. spew out. This only works if you can get them on the phone, good luck with that.
Then they charged me $1,500 just to get away from them. After losing all trust in them, I had to pay them to stop managing my own property. In my opinion, that fee is buried in vague contract language designed to punish owners for trying to leave. Imagine someone robbing a bank every month for years straight and the only way to get them to stop robbing the bank is to pay them $1,500 more.
And the reviews? Look closely. Multiple glowing five-star reviews stacked together, sometimes praising the same people over and over again in a row. In my opinion, it looks less like organic customer feedback and more like reputation management with a pulse. Are they paying people for the reviews? Paying the employees to get them??
Abrams Realty is not just disappointing. My experience was hidden invoices, questionable markups, in-house contractors, emergency loopholes, vague fees, and a complete lack of transparency.
Don't get me started on the issues with communication or the self-righteous staff that will talk down to you like you work for them and you dare to question how they handle business. If I had to listen to their Head Property Manager say the phrase "Having said that." for the 27th time in a conversation, I would have assumed this had all been a cruel joke, but no, no it was not.
I would not trust Abrams Realty to manage an outhouse, much less someone’s largest financial asset.
If you are a property owner, run, please, run. If you do decide to play Russian Rolette with your financial future, I beg you to please demand original invoices. Demand vendor names. Demand licensing and insurance proof for any contractors working on your home. Demand every fee in writing before signing the agreement. Because once Abrams has your property, your money, and your signature, my experience is that you are not the client, you are now the crop.
**Thank you for the obvious AI response which did not address any concern I brought up. As is typical of all your responses, you say a lot. None of it matters. You continue to abuse your clients faith in you.**
While I’m not usually someone who leaves negative reviews, I felt obligated to share my experience with Abrams Realty given how frustrating my time renting through them was. As both a former homeowner and someone who has rented multiple properties, this was by far the most difficult rental experience I’ve had.
What stood out most was how much it felt like I was treated as if I owned the property rather than rented it. Whenever something went wrong, such as issues that I believed were outside of my responsibility under the lease, I was still held financially responsible for them or faced repeated attempts to charge me for them, leading to constant back-and-forth discussions with staff over email.
Even after clearly spelling out why I believed I should not be on the hook for charges, specifically citing their lease language, my concerns were dismissed and charges were still applied.
Based on my experience, I would strongly encourage prospective tenants or homeowners looking to rent their property to thoroughly research both reviews and publicly available information on Abrams Realty before deciding to do business with them.
