I rented from first realty for the last 2.5 years. Absolutely worst renting experience ever! I’m the 2.5 years with this company, I had 4 different property managers. I am a single mom that works full time with 3 kids and a dog. The fist 3 property managers were amazing! My dog had an accidental pregnancy and the previous property manager said it’s fine, as long as they puppies don’t stay. When Matt, the new property manager started working with company, he evicted me. Said I breached my lease because of the puppies and I never paid a pet deposit. I explained the previous property managers knew and never said anything to me about it. He said that was bad management and he’s here to fix their mistakes which is why I was being evicted! My eviction notice states I have to be out by April 30th, however, he has been harassing me since April 3rd about when I will be all moved out. I absolutely loved the location I lived in but the management was horrible! I never called and complained about anything, when my dryer broke, I had to go 3 weeks without a dryer! Just a terrible experience! 0/10!! Highly do not reccomend!!

I’ve lived here for little over 6 months. I love living here. I love how kid friendly and neighbourly most of the tentants are. Ruth is absolutely the best landlord anyone could ask for. Tom is awesome I have had the pleasure of working along side him to help around the yard and just chatting with him threw out his work day. Blair is new to the crew but is a great person. Blair is excellent at fixing things around the apartments. When something is broken he is right on it. There isn’t enough words to describe how great of a landlord Ruth is she is always friendly happy and very welcoming to everyone that comes to her. Blair keeps up with the maintenance as soon as he is told to do so.

I have lived here for 7 months now and in a single gal and have never felt safer. Ruth is amazing she always has a smile for you and a kind word no matter what her day is like. Tom is over the top, he works so hard but him to always a smile and takes a minute to say hi. George is a awesome guy from the little bit I have dealt with him. All in all I feel very comfortable and safe living here

First realty has been nothing but incredible to deal with over the last year that I have been renting from them. The town houses have big rooms and a very nice layout that my family loved! Not to mention one of the only companies that allows you to have your pets to come along with you. The first month that I was there I was in need of my yard that is a fantastic size by the way! To have the fence closed in for my dog, and within the day George thier property maintenance professional was there putting one up for me! Whenever I needed anything he was there asap to get it done

Sheryl their property manager is hands down one of the most professional and caring managers I have had the pleasure of dealing with this last year. Not only does she get everything done in a record setting time! She also makes everyone that rents with them feel like family and keeps an eye out for the community like the mother hen. If you are looking for great properties to rent that you and your family will love and feel at home, give Sheryl and her team at First Realty Investment a call right away!!

I had the pleasure of living at a building managed by First Realty Investments and I enjoyed every moment. I would rent from them again in a heartbeat! The location and the functionality of the unit was perfect for my lifestyle. The rooms are large and the unit has a nice design. The energy efficient furnace reassured me that I wouldn't go broke paying for utilities. I also appreciated the kindness and professionalism demonstrated by my landlords. Moving is stressful on a good day so it was such a relief to have a smooth and easy move to my new community. I will be back again someday, perhaps as a home owner!

I moved into the apartments 1 yr ago this month actually, Ruth is lovely, gets things done in a timely manner, and respects that it is our home and always give appropriate time if need to come in for repairs. Think the washing facilities need a upgrade but they do there job just need to do smaller loads haha. and the maintenance man Tom is always so nice! And my son has made a couple friends with the kids in the other buildings. And i havent had any problems with any of my neighbors. We all respect each other. I feel as safe as a single mom can be in our city with the way things are. I strictly based my move in off meeting Ruth! Thank you!

I have lived in my building for over 2 years and am still happy. If there are any issues Ruth deals with them promptly and gets positive results. Tom is a great caretaker too. Its a good place to live.
