Doug Shorter Real Estate and Property Management

Negative experience: I would give them 0 stars if I could. Doug Shorter was probably the worst and most irritating property management I could think of. They rarely responded to maintenance requests, we lived with a broken HVAC system with our apartment being over 80° every day and they finally fixed it two days before we moved out. We had to leave a maintenance request every single day. I had to buy a temp gun, point it at our vents and show them cold air was not blowing out. They sent someone to “service” it a couple times and absolutely nothing changed at all, actually one time they broke the coil and filled our place with gas (I’m not sure what). They were unhelpful and often arrogant on the phone, one woman being particularly rude. I could go on and on about how disappointing this company was but I will end with them using our security deposit for things that never existed in the apartment when it was our place (ex: a doorbell that we never had). Don’t really care that we could’ve fought that, just know they’re the type of company to pull stuff like that.

Negative experience: It’s a trailer in ladson in sundial park, they charge an absurd amount of money for a house that gets up to 97 degrees during the summer. The ac worked, the house is just run down. Then I asked them to fix my heater the morning I woke up to it being 35 inside and they didn’t call someone until three that afternoon when I reminded them and I didn’t have anyone come out until the next morning at 10am. When I moved in last year I found a leak in my ceiling when it rained and it took almost two weeks to come fix it. Now their newest thing is trying to tack on an extra 20 bucks to my security deposit. I’ve tried talking to them through text because I wanted it in writing, which is my right, but they are deflecting to a phone call. Do not rent from these people. They are crooked and they do not care about your well being. Edit: they fixed the security deposit error. But are refusing to acknowledge my request for proof in writing. This is what I mean by crooked, they refuse to take accountability for their actions.

Negative experience: fees on top of fees on top of fees For stupid things that they just tack onto the So called “Portal”. Everything you do is a fee and is added towards rent. Even paying on the portal has almost a $100 convenience fee. Well get off your but and come collect the cash then I charge $0 fee I

Fantastic experience: Daryl and team have been outstanding. I first hired his team to rent my property when I left for another state in 2022. They did an incredible job getting the property listed and took care of everything. In 2025, I had them list the property for sale. From start to finish they were excellent. I didn’t have to worry and trusted them. Doug Shorter Real Estate and Property Management is #1 in my book. I highly recommend them for any real estate needs.

Negative experience: Essentially stole my daughter's deposit when she moved out making false claims for damages, door bell ? after never responding to calls to repair their overused and neglected apartment

Negative experience: My father, a disabled marine with Parkinson’s, and my disabled mother both who are 78 are no longer able to care for themselves. My nephew and his wife were going to move in to help and they found a nice 5 bedroom home to rent but were told they had to pay twice the normal deposit because they were considered 2 families. My parents had custody of my nephew when he turned 18 and is taking care of my parents. My parents are being discriminated against because they can’t live on their own and being asked to pay double the deposit because of the multigenerational family that care for them. They have notes from the doctors that they cannot live on their own. I’d never consider sending someone to this rental agency that doesn’t have compassion for elderly parents and kids who want to care for them.

Negative experience: Doug Shorter Real Estate and Property Management does not teach its tenants where to put their garbage cans. The amount of trash on Avalon Circle in West Ashley has become a serious issue. Get your act together. Livability court is next.

Negative experience: Not the friendliest staff to speak with and was given misleading information.

Negative experience: Renters be aware do not do business with this company they are scammers, they have no empathy, sympathy or compassion for the other people, they don’t care, everyone involved with this company has an attitude problem and will talk to you like you are meaningless, they will not prorate rent, and they will not give you your deposit back. Stay away.

Fantastic experience: The best rental company i ever used

Negative experience: Spoke to Kim who hung up before I could get the last word out. Asked about qualifications, I was explaining how a repossession from when I was a teen should be off my credit history before I could even get the words out she “uh huh buh bye” ‘d me LOL.

Negative experience: Property is in poor condition to be asking $1700.00 a month. I asked if they we're going to be making any improvements, and was told NO the owner's weren't willing to do anything to the home. (RENTING AS IS) The neighborhood looks descend, but the first problem I saw was the ROOF, it needs a new one. Second, there were ripped or no screens on all windows. Third was the poor condition of the bathroom, tub rusted out, toilet looks like the original fixtures that came along with the home YEARS ago. Renters beware, if you can't get any repairs now that speaks volumes to any concerns you may have in the future.

Negative experience: Wish I could give a zero star.

Fantastic experience: Staff is always helpful and gracious.

Fantastic experience: Best realtor I've ever worked with!!

Negative experience: I needed a place to stay until I found something else I experienced mold and electrical issues and disruption from a tenant that was very disrespectful the structure was very poor only patch works to make it semi livable

Negative experience: Absolute trash of a company! Avoid at all costs.

Negative experience: Horrible property management company to rent from. They’re friendly until you need repairs done. Gives you the run around about fixing things, takes forever. I should not have to send emails outlining my legal rights as a tenant to get things fixed. Not recommended!!!

Positive experience: Was just doing a pick up for my job

Negative experience: Rude office staff and absolutely no professionalism. Don't waste your money renting from them, old units and mold in a few units.

Fantastic experience: Best Realtor company to rent from. All issues are resolved in a timely and professional manner. Very affordable. I will definitely recommend them.

Fantastic experience: I have worked with Doug Shorter for the last 3 years as HOA president. They have been a great help in dealing with multiple issues in the community. I couldn't ve happier with this company!

Negative experience: I am in the process of moving to SC form Illinois for my job! In the process I had the displeasure of doing business this company more specifically Darryl Shorter! This entire time we discussed me moving there in January! After paying the Deposit(which should secure the rental) this company starts demanding I pay for December! Darryl then passes me off to a office employee! I will be filling a complaint with the South Carolina real-estate commission and I suggested not doing business with this company! Edit: I have all the correspondence! That's what happens when you do this through text! Make sure you pass this along to the real-estate commission when they contact you for my complaint! It's not the money it's the principles of it! You were going to make over 17k from that rent alone and all you had to do was hold to our arrangement like a professional! However as we see in the rest of your reviews that isn't how you operate!

Negative experience: Kim and Daryl have no sympathy or desire to learn about a potential renter as a human, only as a number on a screen. God forbid that life should have happened to you at any point in the last 7 years that your credit report shows, because any and every point that is a possible negative WILL be held against you without regard to what happened to cause the negativity. Everything I can see from reviews says that this place is great if you're an owner, and horrible if you're a renter. Edit: @Daryl: I would love the opportunity to try again to talk to you, but "there's nothing here that I can take to the property owner" and REFUSING TO LISTEN to allow me to GIVE you something to take to the owner is not simply "adhering to the requirements" as you claim. You have my number.

Negative experience: Never have I ever met more disgusting and vile man. I went in the office to address a pest issue I’ve been having with my apartment. These people had no compassion for my situation, and they absolutely rude and completely unprofessional. For some reason, Daryl became disgustingly hostile, he began to curse at me and yell in my face with my 6 month old baby in my arms. There was no time during the interaction where I was rude or raised my voice at him. He then proceeded to get closer and closer to me in a very threatening manor. I don’t know what kind of person yells in a babies face and I don’t know what kind of company throws their tenants out of their of office when they are having an issue, but obviously not a good one.

Negative experience: Lol trolls. People can post what they want to without your input. I get it. You want positive reviews but you shall get none from me. You're a messed up company that needs to go out of business. And good luck to everyone who expects a deposit back. They will steal it from you. And my spouses review will stay the same, so stop trolling him as well. We can get you for harassment if need be. Good luck dspm.

Negative experience: If I could give zero stars I would. Unprofessional and rude.

Fantastic experience: Daryl and Kim have managed my property in Goose Creek for nearly a decade. They’re always available when needed as the homeowner and to my tenants. More recently, they assisted managing and overseeing the renovation of one of my properties after a tenant moved elsewhere. From carpet, to paint, flooring, removal of popcorn ceilings, and new appliances they got multiple quotes, got the work completed and the home rented in roughly 3 months.

Negative experience: It took us 2 days to help my brother move in to his rental because of all the cleaning we had to do BEFORE he moved in. Then the rental company kept his deposit. Because they said said it was dirty. THE HOUSE WAS LEFT 100% better than he found it when he moved out. These people are CROOKS.

Negative experience: “RENTERS BEWARE”This company takes advantage of college students and young adults. I do not recommend. I would give a zero star if I was able.**NOTE that the good reviews are from OWNERS of the properties. STAY TUNED…

Fantastic experience: Being an out- of- state owner, I feel very lucky to have found Doug Shorter Property Management. Daryl and his staff handled all aspects of my property management; I found the office very professional, efficient and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend this company.

Negative experience: They have some of the strangest renting rules I have ever heard of. They list a 5 bedroom house and don’t allow a group of 3 roommates to be able to rent the property. They do not combine incomes so they expect 1 person on the lease to be able to afford 3x the monthly rent on their own. These strict ridiculous rules explain why their properties have been sitting for 2+ months though haha. If you want your house filled quickly and not sitting vacant forever I would NOT use this company to rent your home out. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of meeting the ladies behind the scenes. Let me tell you they were so helpful and kind to me. All of my questions were answered. So if you need a rental or even want to buy a house...this is the place to be!!! Thanks again

Fantastic experience: Excellent service and friendly show their Care

Fantastic experience: Doug shorter management team has been taking care of my property for over 15 years. I do not have 1 complaint. They are a knowledgeable professional team. They are excellent.

Negative experience: Worse property management company I've ever rented from... There inconsiderate, disrespectful, lack accountability and I've yet to receive my deposit back from them and I didn't damage anything in the apartment... I wouldn't refer them to a homeless person

Fantastic experience: I have used Doug Shorter for many years. I had a large portfolio and was extremely happy with the support and service that I received. Daryl was very responsive, knowledgeable and treated the properties as his own. Daryl also assisted me with the sale of the portfolio and I was also extremely impressed with him and his team as a realty group. Would definitely highly recommend and do business with them again.

Fantastic experience: DSPM was a very competent, polite, and efficient business partner. They know how to serve their clients; they were prompt, and very good at explaining every step of the process. I would recommend them in a heartbeat to anyone who needs reliable property management or help selling a house. Two thumbs up, for sure.

Fantastic experience: I have had the honor of this company in renting out my property for the past two years and it has been a wonderful experience. The team is responsive, gracious, knowledgeable, and patient. I highly recommend Doug Shorter Property Management. Just want to add that when I spoke to my sister about who was managing the property, she mentioned that Doug Shorter had managed our parents' rental forty years ago!

Fantastic experience: The last property management team did not take care of the place. Doug’s team came in and cleaned up the place.

Fantastic experience: Very prompt and professional. Repair was done well, price was very fair. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I've been working with Daryl, at DSPM, he' was helpful, cooperative, resourceful and nice during the many years that he was my property manager. I would recommend the services our DSPM to any one who's looking of a property manager in the Charleston area. They are the best at what they do!

Negative experience: The person answering the phone (Kim) needs to learn professional etiquette. Especially working within customer service.

Negative experience: This is a horrible office to work with they made my mother feel like she was less than what they wanted in there property they are very rude and disrespectful in there office they treated her like because she was a women of color she wasn’t good enough to rent from them I would not recommend these people to anyone for renting they have poor maintenance an very poor people skills the office manager Kim and Darrell are very rude when you call them with concerns and questions

Negative experience: If I could leave negative stars I would. As the owner of the property I went to talk with Daryl who when my daughter asked to see the lease he told her to get out and told me to hush up while he is talking. Then when I finally got the lease agreement he told me to get out and not to come back to his office. The property management company that I have been dealing with since 2003 who has poorly managed my house this whole time and that’s how he talked to us. If your looking for a property management company please keeping looking this company will do nothing but cheat you out of money for repairs the tenants have caused, lie to you and refuse to answer to calls and emails. I would never refer or advise anyone to use there services.

Fantastic experience: Did everything possible to get our heat working and I really appreciate them so much. thank you very much

Fantastic experience: I was thankful that they took over our property management because they are being very responsible with maintaining the HOA fee payments to facilitate needed improvements. They were an absolute life savor In preparing the documents I needed to sell my home with an FHA loan. They were very quick to answer the phone and emails.

Negative experience: Very disappointed with Darryl. Very unprofessional. Poor Customer Service.

Fantastic experience: Thank you for always being kind, efficient and responding promptly!

Fantastic experience: Doug Shorter is one of the best management companies out in the Charleston area, fast response to repairs, fast response to emails and great customer service overall.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love working with Doug Shorter. Kim is always extremely kind and has worked with us many times. Anything that is broken is fixed immediately, and our duplex is nice and we love living here.

Negative experience: I've been with them only 10 months and come to find out this place is infested with rats in the attic. No one even apologized or show any type of consideration for me and my family. It's really sad that there able to get away with renting out places that are infested with rats. Couldn't figure out why I started to get sick the past couple of months, I don't have any health problem! On top of that have the nerve to want to raise rent. This is really sad BEWARE!!!!!!

Fantastic experience: Love Douge shorter if you have any issues and you call they are right there to help you at anytime.they will respond in matter of seconds. I will recommend them to everyone. Thanks for all you do.

Negative experience: He was extremely rude to a customer in front of me who’s property he manages and acted like he was not responsible for anything the tenets did or holding them responsible very unprofessional not only with that but comments he made to My friend

Fantastic experience: I was very pleased with the responsiveness of the staff!

Fantastic experience: I have had the easiest time speaking with Kim helping us get set up in our new rental home. Everything was easy and anytime I had a question I was helped quickly! The house is exactly what we wanted and in our price range!

Fantastic experience: I have been renting with Doug Shorter for 4 years and I have to say I am extremely grateful to them for being so understanding in the wake of the Covid pandemic. They have always been understanding and always work with me when times have been tough. They are great!

Fantastic experience: The staff is always willing to help. They are responsive, professional, and willing to assist you in all aspects concerning your home. Mrs. Kimberly is absolutely the best. The homes are well maintained at all times. I have never had any issues. If you're a good tenet, they will be an even greater landlord.

Fantastic experience: Daryl Shorter's many years of expertise in real estate made our house selling experience successful! He really knows the house business. We trusted Mr. Shorter in handling the rental of our house for many years. In sales or rental, he always protects his client's best interest. We are very satisfied with our business association with the Shorter Property Management.

Positive experience: Just wanted to take a moment to thank the great staff of DSPM. They made my move effortless and were so responsive to my move in needs. The online availability of Leases, Move In Inspection, etc. cut down the time I physically had to go to the office. They were very quick to respond to some odds and ends once I was in the apartment. The staff is friendly and professional. Thank you, once again for helping make this important transition in my life less disruptive.

Positive experience: They are great especially Kim. She helped me with every question even if I asked it a million times.!!

Fantastic experience: An absolute pleasure working with Doug Shorter Property Management

Fantastic experience: Daryl was a great partner during the sale of my home. He made sure that the buyers were pre-qualified and fit my criteria for buyers of my home. I highly recommend working with DS ! Thanks Daryl for all your help!!

Negative experience: This company charged me a rental fee of $50 for services they refused to provide to me and when I requested the refund back via email. Instead of responding to my email I got a call from Kim how was extremely vulgar and disrespectful in her tone. Essentially they are cherry picking applicants based on their personal feelings of if an applicant is worthy of staying in a particular community which is out of compliance with Federal Fair Housing Rules. I'm curious as to how many applicants have gotten swindled out of $50 fees and denied services by this company. I would encourage any Owner or potential Tenant to look elsewhere if you want professional services. I'm having to file an FTC/Consumer Affairs complaints to get my refund. Its absurd.

Fantastic experience: Very pleased with Doug Short Property Mgt's service and responsiveness.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic group of professionals that honestly care about you.

Fantastic experience: Daryl Is awesome. He has been my property manager for over 30 years. Please everyone out there use him . He is awesome. I live in another state and he has watched over my property and me all this time. I would trust him with my life. The office and everyone that works fir him is amazing. Always call you with emergencies and take care of everything without gouging you. After all this time I consider him a friend. I went through 4 rental companies before I found him. YAY

Fantastic experience: I have been pleased with the tenants they have found for my properties. They have been responsive to repair needs and also kept me notified.

Fantastic experience: As a vendor, Doug Shorter Property Management has been very professional in handling repair requests and doing business with. They stay on top of maintaining and managing properties. I highly recommend them for rentals and property management services.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend this local owned company! A pleasure to work with.

Fantastic experience: Shorter Property Management have been stellar individuals to work with. They always have a smile on this face when you see them and will try their hardest to make sure your needs are met. Everyone in the office is amazing and I would recommend them to anyone. Keep up the good work!

Fantastic experience: Great Company to Manage your property!!! Always Professional!

Fantastic experience: I rented two separate houses with this company and they were always on top of everything and great to deal with. We recently purchased the home we were renting through them and we couldn't be happier with our experience!

Fantastic experience: They let you know right away if property is available, very professional and take safety very seriously due to covid-19. I'm glade I chose Doug Shorter Property to help me with finding the right place to move.

Fantastic experience: They knew what they were doing and they found me a good renter and gave me good advice.

Fantastic experience: I have had the best time renting they are very understanding a patient I would recommend anyone to rent from this company.

Negative experience: The worst property Management company to rent from, we had to break contract early for military reasons and they fought every step of they way to not honor what the contract stated. Even with proof of orders they still refused to let us out our contract and kept our deposit and charge us for the months we were not there. Don’t not rent from them.

Negative experience: Bottom line up front: Don't deal with this place even if it's your last resort. If you're the home owner, rent your property yourself. If you're a tenant just moving to the area, find a short-term rental while you relocate. The short story is I received orders to relocate from out of state at the last minute (I later found out the home owner also received last-minute orders to relocate to another state). I have a startup business that I run, and an enclosed trailer I use for transport. I spoke with, and emailed DSPM stating my need for certain power in the garage and living in a non-HOA community as I would most likely not be able to continue my business or store anything but a vehicle in the driveway. I was told the house was not in an HOA community via email and over the phone. I signed a lease that said "no HOA documentation provided". Two to three weeks later DSPM forwarded an HOA citation that showed a picture of my trailer in the driveway which said I was in violation of the HOA. Thus began the long battle of terminating the lease early. It was expensive, required a lawyer, and I lost income by not being able to "operate a business from premises" as stated in the HOA that I was fraudulently signed into. Not only did DSPMs shady business practices cost me money on the front end, I was charged $120 to clean the house when I moved out, (which is usually paid for by the home owner in my experience), but I was also charged even more than that for cleaning a garage which had a stain in the floor and mold on the wall. When I argued that I had swept the garage and even used a leaf blower to clean the dust out, he assembled a "tribunal" of his own people and did me a "favor" by lowering that charge to $85. There was also a $35 charge for removing a hose on the back porch which belonged to the home owner. I wonder to this day if the home owner got his hose back or if he had to buy a new one. For those with comments about Kim: Yes, she's still a moron incapable of autonomous thought. However, understand the Shorter brothers have placed her up front to flack from people like those of us who eventually left bad reviews. Neither of the brothers will deal with us peasants directly. Between Kim and the brothers lay a number of others who filter those who get past Kim. Lastly, if DSPM replies to this comment denying or redirecting any of what I've stated, understand they have the same 93 emails, images, and lease agreement that I have that prove every word. If the office claims it worked with me to find a resolution, their early termination agreement holds them accountable for nothing, so I had to modify it to make them legally accountable for something. Even then they wouldn't put a lock-box with a key on the front door for other agents to show the house, which other agents and tenants found very odd and awkward (yes, I asked them directly) since I had to be at the property to let them in. I consulted my insurance company to see if my insurance would cover a stranger if they hurt themselves in my house after I invited them in and the response was a solid "no". That's why DSPM carries insurance, and is responsible for allowing access to a property. Legally, I was supposed to leave the premises before anyone showed up and make sure the door was locked. Sadly, this is the short story, just imagine if I told the long one! Ah the Digital Age, where storage is cheap, nothing gets deleted, and everything lasts forever...

Fantastic experience: DSPM managed my rental property for several years until I recently decided to sell. The services they provided, from monthly statements to maintenance requests, and the level of communication were all excellent.

Positive experience: My partner & I purchased 2 properties in Ladson in 2005, and 4 additional properties in North Charleston in 2007. We retained DSPM to manage all six properties for us in beginning in 2012 and they did a very thorough and professional job for us. In September 2019, we retained DSPM to sell the 4 North Charleston properties for us. They sold all 4 properties in a single transaction, to one buyer, at 95% of our asking price, and closed the sale in January 2020. Then, in February 2020, we retained DSPM to sell the 2 Ladson properties for us. They sold both properties in a single transaction, to one buyer, at 95% of our asking price, and closed the sale in May 2020.

Fantastic experience: My review is regarding the sell of a property with Daryl Shorter. I only had the property under management for a few months so not really enough time to provide a proper review of service. The sales process though was handled very well and his knowledge of rental market and valuing properties of that nature was critical. Definitely recommend selling investment, multi-unit properties with Daryl.

Fantastic experience: The Shorter team managed my property for approximately 15 years. They took it through the '08 crash and all the way back through the years. I can't recall a time when the property was not rented. They maintained the property such that the value was able to grow over this time all the while keeping it rented at nearly a 100% occupancy rate. I have experience with good and bad property managers in other States, and I must say this team is very strong.

Fantastic experience: The Shorter team managed my property for almost fifteen years. They always kept the property occupied and ensured the property was safe and maintained. Recently the team also assisted with the sale of the property. I found them to be responsive and professional. I would work with them again and recommend them.

Negative experience: This company is the worst! I wouldn't even give it 1 star. They were extremly rude to me over the phone over a mistake that could have been avoided if my messages weren't being ignored. Due to this mistake the lady Kimberly is sending me a refund for 1 of my application fees, but not without requesting I never apply with Doug Shorter again. Mind you, I never once were rude to these people as they were to me.This business is full of Lazy, unprofessionals with nasty attitudes. I would never recommend this company.

Fantastic experience: The staff at Doug Shorter Property Management was very professional and very friendly. They took care of all the paperwork in a very timely manner. We have been renting from them for about 12 months now and are very happy and content with the professional way they have managed and took care of the rental property we live at. John and I would definitely recommend Doug Shorter Property Management to our friends and family. Thank you so much for making us very comfortable in our rental home. In Christ, John & Jeanne.

Fantastic experience: i was needing a place last minute but didnt know where to start. A friend referred me to the property management but i was a little iffy about it but i knew i had no time looking for a place while working 2 jobs at the time, so i gave it a try & all i can say thank you to the shorter team, from the people in the office to the maintenance/ lawn care working under the management property. Would definitely recommend

Fantastic experience: I would Highly recommend Doug Shorter Property Management to anyone who is looking to rent! Very Courteous and Professional! Fixes any issues that may arise Promptly. I couldn't be happier with the services they provide.

Negative experience: One of my friends live her for a while .One day after coming home she saw that her roof was on her floor water damage it took them around 2 months to fix the roof and kill the rats that ate through the pipes

Negative experience: You use your own judgment when you're renting from him and that is the god honest truth living on his property for 6 years and 3 months I was not a very happy camper there

Negative experience: The owner is very disrespectful and Inconsiderate of other people’s needs and belongings. As a tenant who pays her rent on time, should get treated in the most respectful way. When a tenet needs help with a Issue management should be willing to help by any means necessary.

Negative experience: Removed the locks on my doors without my knowledge and would never return my phone calls. Had to pay $300 for a maintenance person to fix my doors, and in the meantime, my property remained unlocked and thus vulnerable to damages/. Took weeks to get my keys back due to essentially zero communication. Worst experience ever. Don’t recommend.

Negative experience: Many bad complaints from the natives in this area as well as current tenants regarding this rental company. People have a right to leave a review if they want, but when this company harrasses and retaliates by leaving certain replies to your reviews, well good luck dspm, you make yourself look worse and unprofessional.

Fantastic experience: We have rented from Doug Shorter for 3 years. They’ve been an awesome rental agency! The members of their staff I have dealt with (Ms. Kim, Mr. Daryl, and Ms. Suzanne) are so kind and professional! Would definitely recommend using them for your real estate needs!!

Fantastic experience: I have been with this company since 2016 and will never go to another company! I started off as a novice real estate owner and landlord, and I have had the best property management experience possible with this company! Daryl is definitely a straight-shooter but he is certainly fair. It's an adjustment to learn to let go so that property MGMT companies can work on your behalf. Learning to do that will definitely yield you the best results! I have worked with and/or spoken with over 20 companies in different states, and not only does Daryl's team have the best fees around, they did an amazing job keeping trouble tenants in my units when a former landlord completely ruined their trust. Daryl's team keeps me well informed and have gotten me the best possible rent (significantly higher than I anticipated). Beyond all that, they continue to educate me on the SC tenant and landlord laws and make sure I am always doing the right thing by the tenants but also holding tenants accountable, which I truly appreciate! I have family and friends with property management companies for their properties in other states and they are in awe with what I get from Daryl's team and the price I pay. I wish I could duplicate them in other states so that others can likewise benefit.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic property management! They made everything hassle free and I never had to worry about my place.

Fantastic experience: Doug Shorter Property Management is an excellent company and I would recommend to anyone looking to rent in the Charleston area. They were very attentive to any maintenance needs and were fair with move-in & move-out procedures. I knew my time was limited (2 years) in Charleston so I rented a property from Doug Shorter Property Management and was pleased. I am a home owner of 3 homes in 3 different states. I have dealt with numerous property management companies to include being a renter and Doug Shorter Property Management is one of the best companies I have dealt with across the country hands down. I highly recommend Doug Shorter Property Management!

Fantastic experience: Had a good experience, Kim is very nice.

Fantastic experience: Doug Shorter Property Management did a phenomenal job managing my rental property when I relocated out of state. They handled everything long distance via email and phone calls. Sometimes I forgot I had the property since they were so smooth at handling everything. Thank you for everything.

Fantastic experience: Over the past 12 years I have had the pleasure of having my property managed by this company. Doug, Daryl, and the team there provide full service property management services. I was so pleased with their service that I opted to trust them to sell my property as well. During this time I have had a number of tough situations arise and they have always done their best to resolve the issues with my home. While I haven't always liked the news they provided they were honest and helpful and did the best to resolve my issues. If you are looking for a company to manage your property in the Charleston area this is it. Thanks for the past 12 years, Michael

Negative experience: Absolutely the most unreasonable people to work with. My husband and I are traveling cross country and I asked to be able to sign lease paperwork ahead of time so that we could move in once we arrive in South Carolina. Unfortunately, this company was not willing to help us and they expect me to stop somewhere on my drive from Michigan to South Carolina to print, sign and return paperwork all while I am driving two children (one an infant 9 months of age) on a 14 hr drive. When I asked to speak to the senior manager or broker (Darrel Shorter), he refused to speak with me so I could explain our situation. The lack of understanding to help a mom out while she is single handedly moving house and home across country with two small children is astonishing.
