I have used Owen to buy and sell real estate multiple times. He always looked out for my best interest in a most professional and dedicated manner. I have also used Owen and his company for my rental unit. He goes out of his way to protect my investment, especially against those who choose not to bide by their rental agreement. Renters will only have problems if they violate the terms of their lease. I could not be more satisfied with his professionalism and will continue to use him for all my real estate needs.

I just signed my second lease with Owen, and I had no reservations about doing so. I moved in with a roommate, and after they moved out, I decided to keep the house with my husband when we got married.

To everyone griping about losing their deposits due to preexisting problems in the home, I wonder if you were listening at all when you signed your lease. He told you to complete a checklist and report every problem up front. I went over that list with a fine tooth comb, which was my responsiblity as a tenant. He also said to call immediately if something broke or was damaged, not to wait until the damage had spread. This prevents you from being charged. You didn't know there was a late charge for late rent? Really? Did you listen during the lease presentation? Did you read what you signed? It's no one's fault but your own if you didn't.

I also don't understand why some of you are complaining about the office staff. The ladies in the office have never been anything but friendly and professional to me. They have accomodated me when I could not make it by during office hours because of work. They have always found a way to work with me. Here's the thing: You have to let them know what you need. It is your responsibility as a tenant to communiate. You can't expect them to read your mind, and them call them "disorganized" or "rude" when they can't.

When our roommate moved out, he talked to OGM RE about other houses they have for rent. I have recommended Owen to friends looking for a new place. I think it's a shame to see him trashed by renters who were unwilling to listen, read or make a phone call. Owen, Patty and Lorie are awesome.

Contrary to other expressed views, my experience with Owen G. Meislin has been uniformly positive. Owen and his staff have been professional, kind and courteous from the first meeting on. My home is clean, safe and I am surrounded by good neighbours. Whenever a need arises I am confident that it will be met in a timely manner and that is always the case.

Repulsive Liar -Unprofessional -Office Staff Turnaround to often
I rented from this liar for 5 years, paying 1 gran a month plus what ever late fees were incurred and legal fees if he decided to send a rit. This jack and his crazy office staff would take messages and act upon them. Once he sent his crackhead maintenance man to paint my place and he brought in someone that looked homeless to do the work for him and the guy ate from my refrigerator!!!!!! Owen lied to the homeowner about repairs the house was full of mold,(which we are persuing legal action) he hired an ingrate for his accountant who also tried to rip me off. Stay away from this money hungry fool. His employees dont last long so don't get attached.

I recently asked Owen for permission to add a pet on my lease. He said no originally since I am sure that as a landlord he could tell many horror stories involving pets. I wrote a letter explaining that I know what I am doing and he changed his mind and approved my request. This experience demonstrates a willingness to work with tenants in good standing and shows that Owen sees his tenants as people not just rent checks.
