Comments on Agent Fees

I used this agent to rent from , they were helpful and sincere though out 3 years later I have no complaints and would recommend franklin cole without hesitation . I understand they have had over 8 years of successfully letting and can fully understand why people use them , I am especially please to be able to say that one staff member was good enough to meet me at 10:30 Pm one Saturday when I had lost my key , even though I was well aware they could have insisted I got a locksmith - another larger agent did this to us before !! Highly recommended ,,,,, individual service counts for more !!

We had the great misfortune of having to deal with Emma from Franklin Cole, who is one of the rudest women either of us have ever encountered in our lives. She also can't do her job properly and will blame you for her mistakes, even when several people have witnessed what she has done wrong (both ... Read Full Review


What agent could do to change your mind?

She could have behaved as a decent human being with some sense of how to do her job properly and have taken responsibility for her mistakes instead of making lame attempts to blame everyone else for her inability to act professionally.

What agent could do to change your mind?

In this world, there is enough cruelty, enough greed and enough people trying to get what they can at the expense of someone else\'s misery. I beg you, stop what you are doing, act professionally or choose another profession.
