I'm absolutely smitten with how smooth the renting process has been with KRS Holdings. Ashley was super helpful to adjust her schedule in order to show me the house and also very genuine when describing the layout of the home - which I greatly appreciate!Conveniently they also provide the ability to read over and sign your entire lease online which makes it easy for someone like myself to save each document to my cloud for later reference. I texted Ashley after noticing a slight issue with one of our agreements and she called nearly right after to correct the issue over the phone with me. Seriously, the process of renting with KRS has been super convenient and stress free!

I had an awesome experience with Ashley Claridy. From the initial phone call she exceeded my expectations and met everyone of my families needs in searching for a new home. She assisted me with making sure we found the perfect place, stayed in contact and followed through with everything she said she would do. I honestly feel like I may have called/text her way to much but she never seemed like it was an issue and was always so pleasant. I'm really glad I got the chance to work with Ashley, she's the absolute best at what she does! Thanks Ashley and KRS Holdings.

Rebekah Arroyo is awesome. I have lived in my apartment for about three years and she has been here for two. She has a welcoming personality. So much that I can talk to her about more than just my apartment needs. She exemplifies what a good property manager is. For this reason, I want to thank KRS Holdings. Please keep up the good work.

When we decided to move into a new house and wanted to rent our old home we didn’t know were to start. Jamie Bright with KRS came over and explained the whole process and made it extremely easy for us. He handled it from start to finish. Couldnt have asked for better results.

KRS Holding INC did a great job. I worked directly with Paul Lizotte, the only suggestion I have is to maybe paint the inside of your apartments. Other than that everything was fantastic. Very friendly, great area.

I have come in contact with numerous tenants who have expressed gratitude with the way they were treated by Sonia Walters at Colorado Manor/KRS Holdings. i.e. "She is so helpful, and really seems to care about people." " Ms. Sonia is very professional and takes care of business."
