My boyfriend and I viewed multiple houses from Excalibur Homes. Every house looks the same. (Same quick renovation work, same red door, etc). We put in several applications for houses over the last two weeks, only to be sent a vague email saying the houses are no longer available and that the application fee would be refunded. After the 5th rejection, I called and asked about their process, wondering why we keep get passed over.
A woman told me she couldn't tell me that information. We decided to apply for just one more property. In the last week or so they must have completely overhauled their application system because now they will not refund application fees. I'm not sure how they pick their renters, but it definitely seems like a scam. We just moved to Georgia and I wish I had read the reviews before wasting time and money on this company.

This place is literally a joke! PLEASE BE AWARE! They will collect all of your personal information & application fees & you will never hear from them again. I'm coming from California & I've been waiting 2 weeks to hear something. Only to receive an email starting the property I've applied for is unavailable. I tried to apply for another company only to be ignore further. I finally was able to speak with a representative in the application dept & once again this company is a complete scam.
The only thing they kept saying is "reply to the email" the email clearly has a ghost working on the other end because you gets no reply ever. Just going to dispute this with out bank & reach out to the BBB. It's so sad how these money hungry companies operate. Please don't waste your time!

This company is horrible! Mike Nelson, Jessie Julien and Isamar Bedoya are absolutely the worst property management associates I have ever encountered! I have long outstanding work orders for over 2 months, squirrels in my attic, impropper repair of a major leak, no follow up, and they could care less! I have reached out to ownership of this property and have also gotten no where. They have a system called Latchel that is the worst product on the market when it comes to communication with the residnets in the home.
You also cannot recover any information or notes that you put into the app when things are not completed timely. As soon as I give notice they can then contact me and tell me they are closing out work orders and then when I ask to let me out of the lease and waive termination fees I met with NO resolve or proper communication once again!

This company does not care. Do not be fooled by the kind voices over the phone. in Atlanta, they are scamming and running games. Moved out march 31,2022. inspection done 4/4/22. no inspection report provided for almost two months. today along with a bunch deductions taken from out deposit do we see an inspection report. we are now out of $2500 that we deposited due to fraudulent charges. we also were charged for two cancelled checks that were never mailed in the first place but we were told they were mailed.

I enjoyed my time in my lovely East Point property managed by Excalibur Homes. The neighborhood was so quiet, the backyard was gorgeous. Bo Bennett did my Inspection today and he was so kind. He told me I did a great job with the house. He made the inspection process a breeze. Thanks Bo, and thanks Excalibur for connecting me to such a cool place that I once called home. :

Levi in the applications department was very helpful with assisting me in attaching important documents to my application in a very timely manner. He also helped assist us in making sure our application went through to processing. Very thankful for his quick assistance in making sure everything on our rental application was good to go. Franchesca in the processing department has been an absolute dream as well! She has been SO helpful in securing our home! We are so grateful for her. She has been in constant communication and been amazing
