No clear statement of this entity. Not clear if I only want this service for 30 days, how do I sign up for this. Really hope to get more information.
Affordable housings a great company to get your property rented. Affordable housing has great customer service.
Affordablehousing.com should prioritize making their platform more accessible instead of focusing on filling it with ads for financial gain. While it's a clever strategy given the site's high traffic, they've lost sight of the real people who genuinely need their services. It would be beneficial if ALL landlords and realtors were verified or, at the very least, provided their realtor's license numbers or even have a verified badge for clients to verify, ensuring our safety. Unfortunately, it seems that affordablehousing.com is more concerned with profit than with the well-being of its users.
With scams at an all-time high, why not make the platform more private and secure?
PS: Affordablehousing.com should consider turning their platform into an 'all-in-one portal.' We shouldn't have to communicate with landlords or realtors off-site until it's time to view a listing. If potential clients like us need to be verified as well, I'd gladly go through the process for the sake of safety on the platform.
I want to assure you that we manually verify every landlord on AffordableHousing.com and have extensive security measures in place. While no system is perfect, we work tirelessly to ensure safety and trust on our platform. For added confidence, we offer a Trusted Owner Badge for landlords who provide proof of identity and have a proven track record.
We never charge renters, and owners enjoy unlimited free listings. Ads are necessary to keep the platform running and accessible to millions who rely on it. Additionally, our integrated messaging system allows secure communication between renters and owners without sharing phone numbers.
We appreciate your suggestions and are always looking for ways to improve. Your input helps us continue our mission to serve renters and landlords effectively and safely. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
I called in to get some assistance with portal lockout.
Elena, my agent on the other end, quickly found the root of the problem, asked me what my goals were; signed me up for premium (which led to a successful match in less than 10 days); and made sure that I knew best how to navigate the portal! I really appreciate all the support!
Elena went above and beyond the call of duty to help me with my rental listing after I found a tenant. She recommended how best to communicate this in the system, helped me calculate fair rental value of my unit using the web site and other things which made my experience easy.
It's a complete scam. They want to start you off at a dollar. Then 2 dollars. Then 1 more dollar to get your credit report. Then you say you're not falling for it when hanging up on them. Then they use caller ID spoofing your own name and number making it look.like you are calling yourself.
Thank you for sharing your experience, and we sincerely apologize for any confusion. However, it seems there might be a misunderstanding. We'd like to clarify that we are AffordableHousing.com, not Affordable Homes. At AffordableHousing.com, we do not offer credit checks on our website, nor do we charge renters any fees. If you encountered issues with a property owner who charges for credit checks, this is a common practice but is not associated with our company. We appreciate your feedback and are committed to ensuring a positive experience for users of AffordableHousing.com. If you have any further questions or need assistance, please feel free to reach out to our customer support team.
Today I called Affordable Housing to discuss an administrative matter and Elena, the person who helped me knew exactly what to do, it was amazing. Elena is incredibly professional and efficient. Thanks again! Vbr, eric
Loved when this website was GoSection8.com but of course something wasn't broken and someone tried to fix it. It is hosted on a server that has to be from like 1949 with 28k dial up speeds. Ive spent almost 5 solid minutes waiting for one tab to open. We waste more time trying to navigate this convoluted mess than finding people and half the time they are not even on the program anymore.
If I could give 0 or negative stars, I would. For almost a YEAR - with multiple attempts to resolve this, they have been ignoring MAJOR issues like the inability to update a listing. They either say "everything looks good on their end" OR acknowledge many technical issues but do nothing about it! Keep charging. They are a scam because section 8 voucher holders are stuck using just this website, no other choice is available. This website charges landlords a lot of money and does NOT serve the public. The customer service denies the problems - ridiculous. The worst website I ever used, and the sad thing is that we are FORCED to use it. Give us gosection8.com back!
Hello Anastasia, I am sorry to hear that that you had a negative experience. AffordableHousing.com does not force anyone to use our website nor to do we require property owners to pay to use our services, we provide our property listing services to property owners and renters completely free of cost. We do provide a Premium membership to property owners who choose to purchase it and utilize the many additional features that are included. Also, AffordableHousing.com do not force section 8 voucher holders to use our services, using our property listing website is not a requirement to be a part of the section 8 program.
I would like to speak with you about the specifics of the issues you were having. Could you please send a message to me directly so we can better understand your experience and resolve any issues?
HI,
I was very stresses out when I called at first luckily I got Ms. Elena Amado, she truly helped me! Elena was extremely patient with me and step by step showed me what do. I am not a computer savvy person and she had to guide me every step of the way. She did that with smile and great attitude! It was my first time doing Section8 and she explained all the benefits to me. Elena had great suggestions and we set up the account and she even helped me write a nice description email of my condo and send out to bunch of candidates right then. The next morning I woke up to many many messages! I did not even know which one to answer first! Sure enough I found a suitable tenant... I called Elena to thank her and she screamed of happiness when I told her I have found someone! It is rare to find people like her to be genuinely happy for you. I have never met her, I am not sure if I ever will but she is a breath of a fresh air! We need more of Elena in this world.
I am in an emergency situation for voucher housing, and they're search engine doesn't even work. I can't set a min or max price, or any other information. What is the point of this trash site? It's not to help disabled people like me.
It seems as though you are getting several interested renters however most of the contact info you are sent by the site are dead ends. Out of 200 or so potential renters I may have made contact with 3. It seems to be a collection of empty email addresses and phone numbers. On top of that they run the recurring charge scam. They will just keep charging you into perpetuity whether or not you log in or engage with them. I wasted my time and money with them hopefully those that read this review do not do the same.
I don't understand how this helps low income families when they want the credit score to be 600 and 700 nobody's perfect I have a good rental history. And nobody still want to rent... so nothing should be advertising on this section 8 list if it's not gonna help needing families
I payed my Tina price debts with affordable housing for housing authority of Annapolis it shouldn't be a issue with giving me a place to live low income with all my disabilities that I have Marcy hospital I can get it an fax it from FedEx to show all my Tina price disabilities I has. Have to use elevator all the time I'm at pinderhughs shelter for women an the elevator is broken.hear at pinderhughs shelter for women.
This website fraudulently charged my account $79 although i didn't purchase/subscribe anything from them. I called a few times but couldn't reach anyone at their office. So i left voice mail messages.
They are giving scammers your information. They have a pre screen feature to apply. I just found the place I wanted with a different address same pictures on a distressed property rehabbed by the state. Beware!
Elena Amado helped me understand and navigate the website, and shared with me some valuable information. I would not figured this out without her assistance. Thank you, Elena! You're the best!
It was great. Elena was awesome, she was very helpful, she went through the steps and made sure every possible situation was looked at and fixed the problem.
Helena Amado was Very profesional, knowledgeable, attentive to detail, bilingual, patience with my questions, service customer oriented. Excellent experience.
I needed to update my information to reapply and she got me set up really appreciate her because I didn't know how I could on my own.
