TESTIMONIALS
Hear It From Our Clients in Roanoke, Virginia
On several ocassions I was in need to speak directly to Mr. Rob Lawson, the owner. He responded quickly and professionally no matter the time or the day. It relieved any concern or stress one may have over rental property. If there was a vacancy, it was filled quickly – within a week/or 1.5 weeks.
I am very pleased with the management of my rental property by Lawson Realty. Starting with assistance renovating the unit, their speed in finding a reliable tenant, their ongoing managing of the tenancy and the prompt payments from the rental as well as clear and concise record keeping. All of these services were handled in a courteous, professional, manner.
Sybil and Rob have been wonderful to work with! I just recently got married and we were lucky enough to find our first home, quicker than we thought. We had a tenant lined up to rent the unit and after that fell through, Sybil was quick to help me get the unit online so that we could get it rented. She was proactive, helpful, and so very accommodating with the situation….. I would absolutely recommend renting with them in the future!
Been dealing with them for 2 years never a problem, all maintenance guys are friendly and staff is as well.
Absolutely first-rate, worry-free experience. Outstanding.
Lawson Realty Group jumped right in assisting with an eviction of a rascally renter. Rob was professional throughout, present during each phase of the eviction process, never judgmental. Afterwards he quickly made the assessment of repairs and maintenance work needed and provided a cost evaluation. He made suggestions regarding the more extensive repairs but always asked for my opinion before proceeding. The work was done in a very timely manner. The advertisement and rental of the property then ensued and now everything is income producing!
