Called to inquire about a listing for a rental property. The listing itself was not well written and did not include price for the rental unit. The agent on the phone was extremely rude and demanding, honestly one of the most unpleasant phone-calls I've ever had. Very unprofessional behaviour.

Ive rented in a lot of places and this one was the best so far. Went above and beyond especially during the quarantine. The lady that works in the office Lila is the best! Thanks for everything!

My 90 years old step father was 5 days late with payment first time in 2 years. Once he was reminded he paid immediately but was fined by raymar with $25 late payment fee. All attempts to apologise and wave this punishment for 90 years old man were not heard.
