They have been more reliable than any other home management company I’ve ever worked with. Thank you so much 😊

Added resident benefits package to my charges despite me declining multiple times. Refused to listen to what I said and remove it. As soon as they got my deposit they stopped being helpful and promptly answer. The house also had many issues including safety issues that should have been fixed prior to renting to us. Has not been a good experience.

Someone always reached out to me in a timely manner to help me. The application process is very quick and doesn't take long. The touring process was super easy, house smelled and looked well presentable.

DO NOT RENT WITH DARWIN. BEWARE.
Absolutely slimy company with no face to face representation. I never met someone as long as we were residents. You can't get a direct number to your supposed 'property manager'. Good luck asking for a supervisor either with the general support number. They act like they don't exist.
Darwin holds no values of care or priority for their residents. One example is that we had a compromised door (rotten to the point of falling apart) into our garage that took Darwin over a month to coordinate a replacement. We expressed our concerns multiple times about the state of the door and the security of the house. Not a single shred of remorse or urgency was offered for the lengthy replacement time.
Upon moving out shortly after, we were asked to select a method to receive our security deposit back. After charging $40 each for two 'stained' toilet seats (that were not new when we got them, nor severely stained when we left) and $60 to clean 30 year old carpet in the basement (ripped and stained before we moved in), they did not even get the payment method right for the deposit return. A check was sent in the mail instead of the requested direct deposit. They managed to rack up $190 of fees that were never discussed with us, only deducted from our deposit and assumed we were to accept it. Had these things been covered in the third-party move out inspection (yes, you read that right, not event representation from Darwin or the 'property manager' themselves were involved in the move out inspection) they could have been remedied before our lease was fully up. Why was no feedback given??
Steer clear of this company. Nasty, rude, and careless. They want your money but want nothing to do with you while you're a resident. I would give zero stars of possible.

Darwin Homes is constantly lying and adding more charges twice monthly. They don’t come out to fix things even with a work order. They don’t answer emails except if you’re purposefully late on rent then they will quickly act. They don’t even have a property manager in Indiana. Their customer service can hardly speak English. 3rd party call centers are the not the way to do business. Their property manager doesn’t know what he’s doing. Terrible company and I’m very surprised that they don’t have more lawsuits. More than the ones currently going for screwing over residents.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I don’t normally take the time to write reviews this long, but after 5½ years with Darwin Homes, I truly feel they deserve to be recognized for the amazing job they do.
If you’re a homeowner looking for a property management company or a tenant searching for a place with a management team that genuinely cares, I highly recommend Darwin Homes.
Throughout my 5½ years with them, my experience has been nothing short of outstanding. From the office staff to the contractors they send out to handle repairs and maintenance, I have consistently been impressed by the professionalism, communication, respect, and quality of service.
What stands out to me most is how they treat people. Whenever I’ve had a concern or needed assistance, I’ve been met with patience, understanding, empathy, and professionalism. That level of customer service means a lot, especially when you’re trusting a company with something as important as your home.
A very special shoutout to Ashley Williams, the property manager in Georgia! Ashley is truly amazing at what she does. Her professionalism, responsiveness, kindness, and dedication have made such a positive difference in my experience. She genuinely deserves recognition for the way she represents Darwin Homes and takes care of the people she works with. Ashley, thank you for everything you do!
In an industry where property maintenance and customer service can sometimes fall short, Darwin Homes has continued to exceed my expectations and set a standard that I believe other property management companies should strive to reach.
I sincerely appreciate the entire Darwin Homes team for the way they have treated me over the years. Thank you for your hard work, your communication, and for continuing to show that excellent property management is about more than just managing a property it’s about caring about the people who live there.
If you’re considering Darwin Homes, whether as a homeowner or a tenant, I highly recommend them based on my personal experience. You won’t be disappointed!

Phone help was great! Your portal is HORRIBLE!!! Way too much to go through just to make a payment! Let me make this more “convenient “ and easy. I should be able to Log In, and big one button should take me straight to make a payment! What’s the problem? This is definitely one of the most inconvenient and full of hassles to make a payment I’ve ever seen!!! Please revamp your terrible payment system! I don’t have time for this every time I make a payment!!!!!

I had a wonderful experience working with Darwin homes leasing specialist Trish. She was professional, patient and responsive. She was always willing to answer our questions, provide helpful information, and make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible.
We really appreciate all of her time, effort, and dedication throughout our home search and leasing documents. She was kind, understanding, and never made us feel pressured. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to rent a home. Trish genuinely made me feel like she cares about her clients and goes the extra mile. Thank you so much for all your help and patience!

The process for renewing our lease was very frustrating. I provided info and confirmation multiple times to include not needing internet fee, use our own insurance, and not have the customer package for$49.99 a month as we could do all those things on our own.
Did that make it into the first version of the lease signing, no. it did not. which, per usual, continues to leave me with distrust in Darwin Homes as a property management company. I had to email back asking for those to be removed, again ... the second iteration after a few days had it fixed.
I don't trust you. period.

HORRIBLE COMPANY.
Nobody knows their ass from a hole in the ground here
Starting out when I applied for a rental unit, the person I was speaking with told me the wrong numbers for the deposit, the price almost doubled- I was told it was their mistake, and I just chopped it up as a loss, because hey, people make mistakes! No biggie.
Upon touring the unit, there were roaches - dead and alive throughout the kitchen - I have the pictures with the timestamps. The house was uncleanly, thick yellow greasy films on all of the blinds, the counters were greasy, the baseboards were grimy, sticky floors, dust all over, yellow liquid dripping down the guest bathroom walls?? just gross. Again, I tried to look past it, given there was still time before my move in, I thought surely before renting out the property that the home would treated and given a pre-move in cleaning. I was wrong.
Fast forward, calling the company and getting in touch with someone is easy- having them solve your problems is not. Constantly being told that there’s nothing they can do about anything and that they’ll “escalate it to management,” you will NEVER hear from management.
My lease recently ended, in order to renew I needed to show proof of renters insurance again, I sent the declaration to one person, another emailed back, I sent further documents again four more times, nobody sent me my lease renewal, now I’ve been arguing with some imbecile via email all week because they’re trying to charge me about $2000 for this month’s rent because they have me down as a “month-to-month” tenant. $2000 for a house that wouldn’t be worth $1300 anywhere else. Disgusting.
And on top of that- this doesn’t affect me personally per say, but to show how messy this company is- someone from Darwin emailed me somehow trying to respond to another tenant elsewhere, with their full email thread. I now have this person’s full name, address, door lock code, and where the keys are placed in the house! MESSY. God forbid I was a bad person or a criminal.
This company is terrible and not worth the hassle. Save yourself the trouble and rent elsewhere!
