What type of kind of property owner are you?
Why do you hold real estate? It’s good to ask yourself this question at the beginning of our engagement. And be honest. Helping us to identify your motivations will help us to help you achieve your goals.
We were under boomtown when we moved to Maryland from the west coast. Johns team was able to FaceTime a walk through the house, answer all questions & have a seamless transfer with keys and all the necessary information when we moved. It made everything much less stressful (especially west to east).
Anytime something came up with the house, johns team was on it. We had several leaks spring up & other issues within the first few months. Boomtown was incredible to work with.
Unfortunately our landlord was awful & refused to fix things at an appropriate timeframe. She didn’t like boomtowns willingness to fix things immediately before it got worse. We were transferred to another property management company for the remainder of our lease and they were awful to work with. The difference with them and boomtown was night and day.
Highly recommend Boomtown & we will be looking at them if we choose to rent our home we purchased.AnaAs a new tenant, we've had a very smooth and easy qualification and lease process with Boomtown! They were immediately responsive and helpful in setting up our showing, and John spent time answering our questions when we met. Katie helped us with the leasing process and made it very seamless. We've been renting for many years and this was the easiest lease signing yet!
HeatherOur family has just completed the application process and we are moving into our new home, thanks to Boomtown! Katie has been incredibly helpful and responsive throughout the entire process and has made the application process very easy. John was very knowledgeable about the property and always happy to answer questions. We are impressed by their professionalism and how quickly the process of getting into our new home has been. We are happy with our experience so far and look forward to working with them.
JasmineI havent rented with them yet but I went on a tour with john he was great very knowledgeable about the property and friendly! He even let my client come along with me to the showing. katie has been nothing but helpful through email answering all my questions and making the application process very stress free!
NataliaBasing this review off of our experience touring and moving into the property and our interactions with Boomtown thus far.
My wife and I toured one of their properties a few weeks ago and were very appreciative that the owner, John, was flexible with us and patient with all our questions. Since then, we've had nothing but a positive experience through all of our initial onboarding with Boomtown and Katie has been INCREDIBLY responsive and helpful with providing everything in a super transparent and timely manner.
I hope that our relationship with Boomtown continues to be this positive throughout our upcoming lease, because we've had nothing but an amazing experience thus far!SeanWe have been working with Boomtown Inc. for several years. Angie is always quick to respond to questions or concerns, and goes out of her way to assist in resolving any issues that arise. The entire staff at Boomtown Inc. is very professional and it’s been a positive experience working with them.
ThomasI’ve moved several times with different apartments and property management companies and this is by far the best experience I’ve had! The entire process was quick, well explained, and easy. John was very friendly and personable showing us the property and Katie has been amazing at getting everything set up and answering any questions. I quite literally never had to wait on answers or follow up on my own. 10/10 would work with them again. I’m very excited to me moving in to one of their properties!
SydneyDespite not having any weekend hours, Boomtown Inc. managed to get more done and process everything faster than major companies paid to essentially work 24/7. John was kind and polite when showing the property while exhibiting professionalism and knowledge. The real star of the show though is Katie and how quickly and efficiently she is with email responses of any kind. Just follow along with their detailed emails about what is needed from you and you'll be into your new home quicker than you might believe.
