Nick Cochrane is on probation. I do not know how dirty you have to be for the Texas Real Estate Commission to suspend your license, but I imagine it has to be pretty bad.

Check other review sites like yelp and make the right choice.

I also found lawsuits involving him and a property at 1210 Windsor Road. Not sure how he can still be in business.

Undoubtedly the worse real estate sales and management company in the city of Austin. They will falsify repair reports on your property to make money. Ask any owner who has used them. Better than that ask any tenant who has lived in one of their properties they manage



Is there a rating lower than a one star?

Hahahaha, SERIOUSLY CAMPUS AND CENTRAL PROPERTIES?!?! Everyone who is reading this, if there is a 4 or 5 star rating it is a FAKE REVIEW! I feel like after this review, C&CP will change their tactics, but can you be any more obvious that you are writing fake reviews? No one goes out of their way to rate something 5 stars and then put down 1 or 2 sentences, and also the reviews are written within a few days of each other. I know something better you can do with yours (Nick Cochrane) and your employees time...TAKE CARE OF YOUR TENANTS!!! I have worked with many realty offices and this is the worst one. The places was dirty and broken when I got it and then it took over 3 MONTHS to get SOME of the issues fixed, many of which (6 months later) I just gave up on. Nick, who owns the business, is dishonest and the company reflects that. He has cheated me out of money and is SOOO unorganized, cutting corners whenever it is possible. Honestly, I would have maybe rated C&CP with 2 stars, but after reading these obviously fake reviews, it pissed me off so much that I would give 0 stars if I could!!!

I know a ton of people below have said this, but I'd like to make sure it's at the top of the page... I'd be willing to guess that all of the 5-Star reviews on this page are completely fake and fabricated by Campus and Central.



If you want some more realistic reviews, check out Yelp, or hop to some of the previous pages.



Campus and Central isn't the worst place ever. But there are some pretty crummy people working there that can make it a bad experience.

In coming on to write my review, I was SHOCKED to see what some of the feedback from other clients had been... I guess that is what happens when dealing with mostly college students, there might be some slinging of mud... Anyways, I was completely pleased with my services and was able to find my last 2 leases through them. I thought everything was on the up and up and actually was asked to write a review if I was pleased with my service... I assume they ask everyone to do this, and like everything, people that are pissed, seem to be the ones to find the time for most reviews... I enjoyed working with them and will be purchasing after this lease is up. I will use them no doubt.

Search for reviews of C&CP on multiple websites and it becomes clear that the only positive reviews are posted by the company themselves, within a few days apart, under the following user names: wpt, bbtexas2010, george F, LACYREYN, Shellytop, Jill42678, Johnathan4u, StephanieAnne, and shelly555. ALL THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS ARE TRUE! DO NOT LEASE WITH THESE PEOPLE!

Maintenance:

- Although the lease states submitting a maintenance request via email, they only legally have to respond to the request if you do it by certified mail. Twice. So every maintenance request is at least $8, and requires at least one trip to the post office. And takes weeks to be completed.

* After C&CP agrees to do the maintenance, it is your job to follow up with the vendor and make sure the job is completed, and notify C&CP that it has been completed. If you don't, you have to pay for the maintenance.

- Crystal Jaskinia (no longer with company), maintenance manager, was very rude/unprofessional and incompetent. And that was if she ever emailed or called you back (which she didn't most of the time).

* One example: Emailed me telling me that she personally wouldn't wait a month to report not having hot water, that I never reported a hot water issue, but attached my three requests about the hot water to her email.

- Had a gas leak, and C&CP sent out a maintenance man with no sense of smell to check on it

- W&D

* Any charges over that are charged to tenant
