I am a tenant at a property managed by Maymont Homes, now that DIVVY managed previously. After years of being under Divvy's management - perpetuated by unresolved moisture and maintenance issues, a professional inspection declared my home uninhabitable due to confirmed mold contamination. I have been displaced for over 110 days with no resolution. Extreme utility bills and lack of insulation were repeatedly reported throughout my tenancy. When a sump pump was installed, it was done without a dehumidifier, vapor barrier, or encapsulation — the components required to properly protect a home from mold contamination per CDC standards. A roof leak was also reported and never fully repaired. The conditions worsened over time. Both my health and my pet's health declined during this period. I was diagnosed with Myofascial Pain Syndrome — commonly known as Fibromyalgia — while living in these conditions. My cat developed asthma and allergic bronchitis. My functional health team and a veterinarian identified mold exposure as a likely contributing factor. Mold remediation does not end when you leave a contaminated property. It continues inside your body — in your inflammation, your immune response, your nervous system. We are still healing, including our asthmatic 14-year-old son. If you are experiencing unresolved water intrusion, incomplete repairs, or unexplained health symptoms in a Divvy-managed property — document everything. Dates, photos, written requests, and medical records matter. Do not assume repairs are complete because a work order was closed.

Went from closing to being evicted in the middle of December right before Christmas. The worst company I’ve ever worked with. After the appraisal came in lower, our down payment that was supposed to be used was no longer valid. They took that along with the extra we paid monthly that was supposed to go towards the principal as well. From my understanding we closed on our end just for them to back out last minute. They also didn’t extend the lease for us and kicked us out right before Christmas. I thought this would’ve been illegal, but somehow they got away with it and took all my money worst communication worst company. I highly recommend this company to those who want to lose everything.

Things go great until you move in, then they get the absolute worst contractors to come out to fix things, IF the contractor ever shows up. Or they will tell you an issue that existed before you moved in is your responsibility. I went through with the entire 3 year lease and even renewed. However, the purchase price increased to well above what the house is worth and then I had an unexpected event which caused me to have to relocate. Now it's beyond their initial 45 day period to return funds. I still haven't gotten a breakdown of even what I should expect back from them and they changed the terms stating it is 45-60 days to get a refund. That is definitely NOT what it was supposed to be and after reading other responses, I'm sure I'm in for a battle as well. I have spoke directly to others who have had a terrible experience in getting any money back from Divvy from the savings. They essentially inflate the rent costs and pocket all the money you save through the course of your lease. I recommend people steer clear.

I moved to Georgia from Wisconsin. My son already living in Georgia told me about Divvy because myself and my younger son was planning on moving to Georgia after he graduated high school. I didn't know Georgia at all except for me visiting him. My son gave me a flyer from Divvy and I called. I was a little unsure because I was still living in Wisconsin and flying back and forth trying to look at homes while also working was a bit taxing. My son and his then girlfriend were looking at the homes for me that I selected on Divvy's Website. I wasn't getting anywhere because everyone kept outbidding me. I must have put offers in on at least 5 homes and it just didn't seem like it was working out. I started with Divvy in April of 2022 looking for homes. I wanted to stay within my budget. So now we're in September of 2022. My son started looking at homes for sale off of the website. He found another home I really liked. I got in touch with Divvy's Agent and she and my son face-timed me and I really liked the house and then I went down to see it. Surprisingly I was able to secure it. The first year I was credit ready to buy it but during the second year October of 2024 I got my credit score up and was ready. What happens, Divvy changes their payment reporting company and that company also had reported I missed a payment when I didn't. This happened in December 2024. This dropped my credit score 96 points and guess what? My lenders shut me down. I was livid. I called Divvy cursing them out and they told me to tell my lenders what happened and to ask them for a rescoring. The lenders were looking at me like I was crazy. I was emailing Divvy cursing them out because not only had this affected me. I was worried about my sister because I also had told her about this program and she had gotten a Divvy home also. Well, this meant my rent increased another $70 for the next year as said in the contract so I said ok, I will keep going although it wasn't fair. The beginning of the next year during March 2025, I was ready again and then they wanted me to buy the house way over appraisal amount and at the amount they had set for that year per the contract which was $15k over appraisal amount. And then they wanted $42k, down and I kept fighting with them and then it went to $32k. I went through Rocket Mortgage as my lender and they helped me secure an FHA loan and were explaining everything to me along the way. They encouraged me to write letters to Maymont and explaining to Maymont what had happened with Divvy when they caused my score to drop. Unfortunately, the old Divvy employees were still in the office and they kept giving me robotic answers as in they can't do anything. So I found out the new Owner's information an emailed them and sent the emails I had sent Divvy when they had caused this infraction. I also included Rocket Mortage and my family attorney in on the emails to Maymont. I kept every email I sent them regarding anything and everything that happened between myself and Divvy. It seemed like a long process, and I thought it wasn't going to happen. My Rep at Rocket Mortgage texted me maybe a couple of weeks later and asked me did I see the email from Maymont. He said they agreed to give me the house at the appraisal price. Now that was just great because that also brought my downpayment down and they ended up giving me credit for the downpayment I gave to get into the home when I contracted it and I closed on May 23. 2025. I didn't really have very many repairs while with Divvy. The previous owner had taken care of the home very well. I think I may have called a plumber twice in 2 years and the problem ended up being a septic tank problem and they got them to come out and took care of the problem. And then as a result of the first winter storm one of the trees feel in the backyard and they got a tree service to come out and remove it and they also cut down 2 other trees that were dead. Divvy, however would not pay for Koi Pond maintenance because it was manmade by the previous owner but that was ok with me. I was able to find a Koi Pond company to come service the pond, and I also had a friend who owned a contracting company. It was a little pricey but well worth it. So yes, it was kind of rough, but it was worth it in the end. I prayed a whole lot and more than usual from beginning to end of this process. I also was working with some really great and fair and understanding people, My son and his then girlfriend. My Divvy Agent Selissa. My Rocket Mortgage Rep Jeff K and the President of Maymont homes. Oh, and the closing title company. This was very stressful and at times brought a lot of tears but in the end it was worth it. There is definitely power in prayer. Me and my family love our home and we are happy. 05/23/2025 I am a homeowner! I own the home I love. This the only way I can give this a 5 star rating. Oh and they prorated my rent and sent me a check back after closing

My husband and I was introduced to divvy homes in 2022. Someone from our old church told us about this rent to own program that was supposed to be so great. After the guy lied to us about hidden fees and how hard it would be to actually own the home it was already too late for us. They lie about how they accept your rental payment. I had to screen shoot my contract and show them that their own paperwork says you can pay them through wire transfer. Had I had known this from the beginning it would’ve saved us an extra fees per month in their paperwork. There’s an option to pay only the rental fee which they will not allow you to do. The whole business is a scam we paid close to $10,000 down and when we realized each month we were paying way more than what we signed for, we asked if they could just use our deposit Towards our rent so we could get out of the lease. They didn’t want to do that. We had an eviction and I reported them to the Better Business Bureau. They never answer the phones. They are scam artist they take your money and do not help you. Also, the only reason I agree to do this was because they say you can upgrade or change homes if you don’t like the one you’re in. That is a lie. These people are greedy, scam artist, they pry on those who really need the help. Please do not waste your time. If you have the down payment, you are better off to go to a bank and purchase a home that way. Or at least take these negative comments into consideration. My only mistake was signing the lease/contract and leaving the home I had.

If I could give this zero stars, I would. We never paid late, always stayed in communication and yet, when we had a maintenance request, we were told it wasn’t “covered” or would send out a company that would do a terrible job. When we decided to not go forth with purchasing, we were told it would take 45 days to receive our equity refund. It’s been 60 days and nothing! This whole business is a scam and no one should work with them.

They have not returned home savings payment.

This is the WORST thing I have ever done in my life. From beginning to end, everything was AWFUL. There was NO upkeep while we were still technically renting the house, so all the cons of owning with all the cons of renting. Hurricane took out our fence and they would t replace it, even though we had already told them we weren’t going to end up buying this dump. Almost immediately after moving in, our rent went up, even though we were “guaranteed” it wouldn’t during the rental period. When we moved in, they didn’t have it cleaned AT ALL and there was still a bunch of crap in the garage and we weren’t able to use a 2 car garage for cars at all the entire time. Now we have moved out, they are robbing us of so much of our saved money for cleaning even though it was a dump when we moved in and I had it professionally cleaned before we left, they are charging for the lawn, which we mowed upon move out and I have messages from my old neighbors about how they didn’t upkeep it for almost 2 months after our scheduled leave date, and “trash removal” when the only stuff left was everything in the garage that was already there when we moved in and was already supposed to have been removed. And good luck trying to get them to fix ANYTHING if you can even manage to get ahold of anyone. They are conning us out of about $10k on top of a stupid amount of rent we paid for a dump for almost 3 years. DO NOT do business with them… they didn’t do anything to help with our credit and with what they want for the houses you wouldn’t be able to get a loan for it anyways because your house value will probably be about half what they will be asking for it after you have already suffered through all this trash. RUN.
