I found a house through Ogburn Properties which I was interested in renting. As I was completing my application, I realized I had an issue with my credit report which I wanted to discuss with a property manager before actually submitting the application. When I arrived at the office, there was a new employee at the front desk (who was very kind to me). He told me there was not a property manager available. He directed me to Sam Ogburn. I gave him my application and was attempting to explain my circumstances to him. There were a couple of negative items on my credit report which were a result of something my ex-spouse had done without my knowledge or consent. Otherwise, my work, rental and remainder of my credit were PERFECT. He IMMEDIATELY insisted that I would have to pay a DOUBLE security deposit, without even looking at the entire picture. He also said he's have to "investigate" my "story" because I "could be a liar" ! He belittled me, spoke to me very disrespectfully and was judgemental of a situation he knew NOTHING about. I walked out SOBBING ! The next day, I informed a business associate of my experience. She said she had a similar experience with Sam Ogburn years ago. She was also treated poorly. There is NO excuse for this kind of behavior. NO ONE should EVER be judged, regardless of the circumstances. I was never given a fair opportunity to apply for the property. Unless you want to be crucified , insulted and judged within minutes of meeting this man, STAY AWAY!!!!
