I have had a rental property under management with Krystle Properties (previously known as Tipp Realty) for 37 years. My instructions to them has always been to find quality tenants that will treat the property as their own and hopefully stay for a long time. They have done an exceptional job in keeping my property rented. Maintenance issues are addressed immediately and work is done professionally.
They keep me up to date on all matters relating to the property. Their monthly accounting reports are state of the art and are timely. I strongly recommend Krystle Properties to anyone seeking property management services

This was the first time I've ever rented out my home. I was so grateful to have Kathy held my hand through the entire process. Although sometimes it was a little frustrating ( thought my house was perfect!) she carried me through the process. She arranged for the most money and informed me whenever there was a problem. I'm back home now and I would use Krystal in the future without hesitation. THANK YOU!

Unfortunately, the house my husband and I are very interested in, is with company. They are extremely unprofessional. I had Kathy Gillin get an attitude and hang up on me when I asked if she can send documents to my husband work email, after she sent them to his personal email, so they can get signed faster. Stephanie Morrow showed us a house and was extremely rude and snobby.

I've had KPM as the property management company for a home for several years now and it has been a smooth process. Special kudos to Elisa Brosius, who is always very responsive and helpful with monthly processing and special requests for information. Thank you Elisa!

We've been having Krystal property management handle our rental since 2012 and couldn't be happier. They are detail oriented in managing the property and screening tenants we have never had an issue. They physically went to our rental property and talked to the neighbors to ask how the tenants were past 2 years before renewing their lease which is what more than most management companies would do.
I have not been able to find someone as detailed for managing our Texas property like this company has. They are transparent in fees, what needs to be fixed and what company they are using, and how much items costs. They are communicative and called even Christmas Eve to address any concerns they may be having. We highly recommend them for property management!
