"The experience has been top notch... their customer service and responsiveness is phenomenal."

I own a business that serves Young America Realty. I do a substantial business commercially overall and Young America has been awesome as a customer. I was originally contacted by [the Maintenance Supervisor] to inquire about our service and we set a meet. From there the experience has been top notch... their customer service and responsiveness is phenomenal. As a vendor, I appreciate that.

"[Their staff] was great to deal with."

We came to visit the units prior to.my daughter starting school. I drove my truck off of road on retaining wall area. Yes it was damaged but YA realty came out and stayed with me. They called their towing company and took care of all cost. My daughter was able to view units and I caught up to them. [Their staff] was great to deal with. I felt good leaving her, knowing that they help me when we had not rented. We did end up leasing a unit and the process was easy quick. Thank you.
