Rudulph Real Estate INC

This company is phenomenal! The staff is both very knowledgeable and helpful. I instantly fell in love with one of their properties and am very pleased (to say the least) with the outstanding condition it is in. It quickly and easily became a home! more

Rudulph Real Estate is one of the best property management companies in the area, if not the best. The staff is very professional. The company seems to be loaded with the best technology to service buildings. The owner, is very innovative. She is always looking for new ways to improve her services. I would definitely recommend this company. They seem to always make sure things are done in a timely manner. more

Sandra was very pleasant and easy to talk to. She made an effort of having everyone there to sign the lease so that she could meet us all. And what I appreciated the most was the communication she kept. It was clear when they had to come into the house, it was quick when we needed something to be fixed, it was overall a very pleasurable experience. more

Very efficient work in finding renters for me. It was almost effortless on my part and I was pleased. more

CAME INTO TOWN ON SATURDAY WITH ALL OF OUR STUUF IN THE UHAUL AND THREE KIDS. CALLED RUDULPH REAL ESTATE AND JOHN RUDULPH ANSWERED. WE SAID WE NEEDED A RENTAL HOUSE AND HE TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE CLOSED BUT IF I COULD GET THERE QUICKLY HE WOULD TRY TO HELP. HE GAVE MY WIFE AND ME A CREDIT REPORT AND GAVE ME THREE KEYS AND DIRECTIONS. WE FOUND A HOUSE WE LIKED AND TWO HOURS LATER WENT BACK TO THE OFFICE. HE PREPARED A LEASE AND EMAILED IT TO THE OWNER WHO EMAILED IT BACK. WE MOVED IN THAT NIGHT. UNBELIEVABLE SERVICE. THANK YOU SO MUCH. JOE DRAKE more

Passionate about their customer service. Went above and beyond to help me out. more

Polite and courteous staff at Rudulph Real Estate. The highest quality customer service and first-rate professionalism. more

We lived in a building managed by Rudulph Real Estate for a little over six years. They took care of any issues we had promptly (which was especially tricky as the property owner was difficult). Sandra was especially great - when we moved out she was extremely accommodating which made our lives so much easier. more

I just moved to Mountain Brook and needed a real estate agency to help me find a place. Then I found Rudulph Real Estate and they found me a place rather quickly. I love my new home and my neighbors are great!!!! Thanks Rudulph Real Estate!!!! more

Rudulph Real Estate has a great variety of properties to rent from, which are all very nice from what I've seen. They are very affordable. The best I've seen in Birmingham. more

My husband and I recently purchased our first home in Mountain Brook and working with Sandra and her team was a terrific experience. She is professional, honest, and definitely knows her business. We really appreciated her ""non-pushy"" approach with the process and things could not have turned out better for us! If you are thinking of buying or selling a home...you want to work with Rudulph...you will not be disappointed!! more

Very nice and reasonable! If you need something fixed, then they will get to it asap. In addition, their properties are beautiful and you get what you ask for. As long as you go in and are reasonable, then they will be too. more

My wife and I have been customers of Rudulph for 2 years now. Throughout the past 2 years there have been many ups and downs dealing with them. On the up side, they have an incredibly fast maintenance response team. Our house was broken into and their crew was there that evening, after hours, to secure the front door back to the house. Then back again the NEXT day to fix broken dry wall, door frames, and change the locks. Excellent maintenance service. However, our current satisfaction with the office staff is extremely low. Recently there there have been numerous mistakes in our month-to-month rental rates. We have had letters sent to us stating that we are (at times) $1,000s in debt to them. More specifically they recently printed a lease extension with a new reduced rate. We signed the extension and changed our monthly rental payments accordingly. 2 months later they admit that the decreased rate was a typo and expected us to pay the difference in missed rent. When I brought all of our paper work to them showing that they in fact created the lease extension, with the new rate, and signed off on it (making it binding) the employee I was meeting with became very agitated with me and cut our meeting short. I then asked her about the amounts that were ""past due"" in rent, paired with images of all past rent checks, she became more agitated and said, ""Forget it all, just don't worry about it!"" Needless to say I have been forced to confront their accountants 3 times now for incorrect balances. (A little aggravating...) While the maintenance staff extremely efficient and reliable; the office staff is awful. more

Initially, I was pretty nervous. The house my wife and I rented had just come under the management of Rudulph. Prior to that, the owner handled the tenants on his own. When we first moved in, the house was in pretty bad shape. The previous tenants smoked inside, windows were broken and the place had not been cleaned. We noted the problems on the move in inspection list provided by rudulph accompanied with pictures. We were going a little overkill, but we had been burned in the past. After getting the place the way we liked it, things were good. Then we had a tree fall across our driveway blocking in both of our cars on a Friday afternoon. I called the 24 hour maintenance line with little hope of it being taken care of that night. Mr. Rudulph himself was at my house within a couple of hours holding a chainsaw. He got us taken care of and sent a crew out the next day to clean up the mess. Aside from Mr Rudulph's service, there are not enough kind words I could say for his son Rudy. He appeared in the office during our lease and took customer service to a whole new level. Not only did he know our names, he knew our son's name. Rudy was always courteous and always got back to us the within the same day if he had to call us back. When we bought a house and put in our termination notice, the staff did not treat us like a lost cause. We continued to receive excellent service till the end. Our deposit was returned to us within a few weeks and the amount was more than fair. It was down right incredible in this day and age. I highly suggest anyone interested in renting a house to do so with Rudulph Real Estate. But I do have to ask that you be as good a tenant as they are management company. These folks are doing good work and deserve to be appreciated, not abused. Thanks Rudulph Real Estate for giving my family a great rental experience! more

I am very greatful for the services of Rudulph Realty which has been proven to be an excellent company. I would full recommend them to anyone. They have a wonderfully effective and plesant staff, and the job gets done properly. more

We at Rudulph Real Estate value the relationship we form with each and every person that walks through the door. Unfortunately, some people are unable to accept the fact that they a) have a history of not paying bills b) have a monthly income below 3 x the amount of the rent required for the property they are interested in renting. The owners of the properties we manage can trust that their investment will be looked after and protected. We are the largest single-family property management company in Birmingham for a reason. Owners continue to bring us their investment properties because they know how we do business day in and day out. Our standards, qualifications and forms are posted on our website for everyone to see. Your phone calls are always answered by a human being during business hours unless all lines are busy. We are a local, family owned and operated business that has been doing business in the community for over 25 years and we have many plans for the next 25 years. Please call us if you would like to become part of our extended family. We look forward to serving you. Rudy Rudulph Rudy Rudulph more

I wish I had read these reviews before attempting to employ them for my rental so I am hopeful that I can save someone else the time and frustration. I have never in my life met anyone as rude and unprofessional as I have in Miss Rudolph. She does not have the integrity it takes to run a business as high demand business as rentals in my opinion. We all have situations and instances in our life where we are at the mercy of others and I am sorry to say I attempted to use them in finding my familys home. I suggest NOT calling this agency and being thankful for unanswered prayers. more

I rented from Rudulph for 2 years ending last month and they were terrible from the start. The house was not clean at all (cat hair everywhere) and things promised in the lease (such as a washer and dryer to be provided) were not done. When you ask for help they don't follow through, despite multiple calls for the same problem. The house was in awful condition when we moved in, doors falling off the hinges, window screens torn, glass broken. We didn't even get our full refund back because they withheld $85 for an a.c. repair from 2 years ago that was not supposed to be the renters responsiblity to pay! I can't even believe they are allowed to do business and I will be contacting the Better Business Bureau. more

Running a business with integrity and not cutting corners to fill pockets, they are very upfront and personal when renting a property through them. Thank you for the property I rent. more

This is my first experience renting a house and I would rent again from Rudulph. We haven't had any problems with them. more
