Apartment Review
poor quality & unclassy Management-Hollis, leasing
Review Date: 2/20/2005
Reviewer: Anonymous

I consider myself a decent and kind, working-class professional lady who was looking for a secure, nice place to stay in Philadelphia. I was moving from Maryland to Philadelphia from a job relocation. Hollis, the leasing woman (I dare not call her an agent or manager) because she did not act as the role when I went to view the Drake apartment. I arrived an hour early around 2:00 and just in time to see her scheduling in a walk-in at 2:30 just before my 3:00 appointment. We both arrived at around the same time and I asked her if it would be possible to see the apartment early since I had another engagement. She was very rude, abrupt and proud in her behavior and told me that she wouldn't be able to see me before 3PM and was not certain that she'd be on time for my appointment, which I scheduled a week prior. I asked if I could double-up and take a look with her walk-in that she had just scheduled in front of me, since she was running late with her appointments and she said no. Because I was from out-of-town I wanted to take a look at this apartment so I waited, missing another appointment that I had scheduled after this. Our appointment was 15 mins. late, Holis was extremely rude and asked me if I still wanted to see the apartment, after I waited over an hour. She told me that she really didn't want to show me the apartment because she felt that we were not getting along. Long story, short, the place is very nice. Fortunately I know how to handle rude people (in a decent and professional manner) and still get what I want ( which in this case was a simple look at the apartment) but there is a 'sour apple' in the leasing department who has a very unprofessional, negative attitude and seems to base her selections on your appearance and how she feels that day. You should know that I have excellent credit, make a comfortable salary for the Drake, am a home owner and understand the importance of being selective, but your selection should not be based on race, culture, and creed! This place certainly would not get my money to pay any part of her salary. I admit The Drake was on the top of my apartment list but there are plenty of other great places to live in the area with the friendly and kind people that you want to come home to, chat with, pleasantly greet, and be greeted by in the hallway! Cheers and good luck in your search!
