I have a vintage condo in the, Tower Grove East neighborhood of St Louis, thanks to Garcia…read moreProperties. When I made the decision to move back to STL from suburban life in IL, I knew I wanted to use Garcia Properties as my agent. I support several of their restaurants along Kingshighway and like how they truly believe in the city. The day I stopped in to start the process, I met with a young lady (forget her name) and she asked a variety of questions. She then matched me up with, Stefan Kelly. When we met, I told Stefan I wasn't under any time frame. My goal was to really find the perfect match. We worked as a team, I searched Zillow and followed other listings as well. I started out wanting a bungalow or some type of small house. Then I started looking at condos, as a possibility. Once I did that, I knew I was on the right track. Once I found the one that meet all my needs, Stefan and the Garcia team made it a reality. So, if you're looking for your first, or a new dream home, I highly recommend Garcia Properties.

To update my review: my realtor toured this property on April 18 and reported a natural gas smell…read more The owner claimed the fire department had checked and found no leak, but the fire department later stated they had no record of any such visit. We moved across the country on June 4, six weeks after reporting the issue, and the gas leak was still ongoing. A contractor later told us the levels were severe enough that we were fortunate a major incident had not occurred. The owner's contractor also improperly replaced the gas line with an undersized one, according to Spire, and I was the person contacting Spire throughout the process. They let me know that the pipe the contractor replaced was 1/4th inch too small and could lead to carbon monoxide or gas buildup in the lines. During the nine months we lived there, two additional gas leaks occurred in other areas of the system. After spending over $10,000 to move and paying rent for May while the house sat vacant, Stephanie Olsen told me over the phone that "this isn't working out" and that we would need to find another place if we continued being "ungrateful." We ultimately moved out early after 10 months, and paid April 2026 rent while the property was vacant and we were in a new rental. The house itself had numerous issues: filthy vents filled with years of dust and mold, insect infestations (basement had roaches, beetles and grasshoppers) requiring extermination, and a failing sump pump system with drain flies that contributed to a very strong basement odor. The home was at times uninhabitable due to the gas smell, causing headaches and dizziness for both me and my Mom, and we paid out of pocket for hotel stays. This experience was emotionally and financially exhausting. After being threatened with eviction, do you really think I felt comfortable reporting every issue with the house? Of course not. So we financially covered multiple issues due to fear of retaliation.

( fire department had no record) We moved from across the country on June 4th . The gas leak was ongoing. The contractor hired by the owner was incompetent and replaced the gas line with too small of a line per spire. And I'm the one who contacted spire every time . We went on to have 2 more gas leaks in the 9 months we lived in this home . At other areas of the gas system. Stephanie Olsen definitely threatened to let me out of my lease in June when we spoke on the phone after I had just spent $8,000 dollars and payed rent for May( while the house was vacant). And no one would be happy with this situation. We left early and payed for April of this year while the house was vacant. This company and the homes owner were awful. Stephanie literally screamed at me and threatened to evict me on the phone until I was in tears. The house was literally inhabitable due to the extremely strong smell of gas, which was causing headaches and dizziness for me and my son. We paid to stay in a hotel. The vents were filthy with dust and mold that had not been cleaned for years. We had to pay for an exterminator due to a hornet and grasshopper infestation, a plumber for a failing sump pit motor infested with drain flies / worms, which also contributed to the basement odor. The list goes on but my point is - this was a nightmare both emotionally and financially for us. Do you really think I'm going to report every issue wrong with the home after I was threatened with eviction? Obviously not.

W.O.W. My wife and I…read morewere looking to build a home for our family. We searched for over year until we found a piece of property that was perfect for us. We soon learned that it was owned by Lombardo Homes and they were the builders that came with it. We didn't know what to expect, but we knew we wanted the land so we began the process with our eyes wide open. First we searched around for reviews online and saw a lot of comments from people in Michigan. They are newer to the St. Louis area and there was nothing out there about the local team. It concerned us but we figured we would move ahead and begin our own experience knowing if things felt off we could abandon with little harm done (a small up front deposit). We started the process with a Lombardo rep named Jennifer. It immediately felt like a warm welcome. Her communication skills were spot on. She was detailed, efficient, and fantastic to work with (I'm sorry to say I've since learned she has left Lombardo and is now in the real estate business. It makes sense as she knows everything there is to know about looking for a quality home to build or buy. If you're in the market find Jennifer Nolan!) We have always been told building a home is one of the most difficult things someone can do. The amount of detail and decision making that goes into it is intense. But with Lombardo/Jennifer the path was made so simple it became fun. Half of our home ended up being custom so there was a lot of back and forth negotiating and working with them to get it all right, but the end result made it all worth it as we get ready to see our vision come to life. Right before you are set to break ground on the house Lombardo has you go through a "pre-construction" meeting with your rep and the Construction Coordinator who will be responsible for watching over the build to make sure everything is completed correctly. We had Cecil as our Coordinator and if you're lucky enough to have him too, expect an unbelievable quality house. We found that Cecil puts his heart into building homes, Lombardo is lucky to have him and so were we. We lived not to far away from the new build, so I had an opportunity to go almost daily to monitor the progress and watch the level of detail. One of the things I would do is sometimes bring lunch to the guys who worked in the trades. These were all good guys hand picked by Lombardo and they work hard to build your dreams, I wanted to say thanks and show them my appreciation. What I didn't expect is during these trips as the guys were sharing a pizza was for no less than 3 different groups, unsolicited, tell me that Lombardo is one of the best builders in town. One went as far to say that he had been contracted by multiple builders in St. Louis throughout the years (McB., F&F, Payn., etc) and Lombardo "far and away" has the highest standards in the area. They keep their trades honest by performing post work check lists and having them go back to fix if they find problems. It was refreshing to hear this. And again there were MULTIPLE trades that used the phrase "highest standards" about Lombardo. You have no idea how satisfying it is to hear that when you're making the largest investment you may make in your life. Trying not to ramble... If you're looking to build a home with Lombardo in STL, in our experience you have found yourself in good hands. Cecil, Jennifer, and the team in the background absolutely blew us away with the level of detail and care and we're lucky to have had them watch over our build. Jennifer is gone, but Cecil is the guy on the ground that get's things done and makes sure their correct. Hopefully he stays with Lombardo and does not get picked off by another builder with a high offer. If you're thinking of building ask for him and enjoy the experience. Otherwise enjoy the peace of mind that comes with building with the builder in STL with the "highest standards around". Good luck!

She also messed with the toilets in each bathroom while completing her little inspection. The owners had been to the property repeatedly over the years always saying how beautiful it looked.

His attention to details was welcoming. Gary was professional, patient, and considerate of my needs. I felt extremely confident that Gary could handle the sale of my home. So, I entered into a contract. From the onset Gary provided a copy of the "St. Louis, MO Realtors Code of Conduct & Ethics". In reviewing this document it was made clear to me, that Tom Azar, the realtor that sold me the home in 2019, was a scam artist. I will write that review following this one. Additionally, Gary ran interference when dealing with Denise Outlaw-Adams, the realtor for the home buyer. She was like a piraña looking for its last meal.

Where do I start? We lived in our house for 2 years. In those two years, we have obeyed every rule…read more We have fixed everything we could fix. We have dealt with some VERY nasty living conditions due to the lack of money the owner and agency had available (so they claimed at least). There was a constant rodent, bug, and very bad mold problem all 2 years of us living there. They never once tried to fix the problems. We had to pay for EVERYTHING. They never even provided pest control. Not even willing to offer for a fee like most basic apartments even do. The carpet was DISGUSTING. We mentioned it from the moment we stepped into the house and for two years they refused to change it. There was a dog living there prior to us, too. Here's a LAUNDRY list of everything that was going wrong with the house that they jerry rigged to meet their cheap needs: The roof was in SHAMBLES. So bad so that a little while before we moved out, it starting leaking when it rained. There was a window pane that kept falling down that was more than half the size in length of the roof. It covered a huge opening that was supposed to be boarded up but the board fell inside the roof and they never bothered to fix it. They just stuck a piece of glass over it, with no insulation. so that the house was freezing during the worst winters Missouri had seen in a long while. Kept falling down and we had to keep propping it up with boards and whatever else we could find. Snow was literally coming into our house. The gutter around the window pane that was mentioned above was literally ripped from the house and in a crumpled mess because of the messed up window pane. The rodent problem? The house would smell of dead mice because there were tons of them living in the walls, living everywhere, dying in the vents. It was DISGUSTING. We've killed more mice than I have even SEEN in my entire life. Roaches. Oh my gosh. They would crawl on our bodies. I can't even go there it's so disgusting. In our pantries. In our dishes. In our fridge. On our clothes. Back to the carpeting, you couldn't vacuum without the carpet falling apart. The one thing they did fix (though it took the better part of a whole year) was a MAJOR leaking issue in the bathroom that caused mold to grow and flooding to ruin the main carpet area. Did they replace the carpet for us? No. Heaven forbid. At the price of $1230/month, who could afford that?!?!?! The tiling upstairs wasn't even attached to the floor anymore. I was half tempted to super glue it back to the floor. The blue carpet in the dining room was STAINED of dirt being tracked into the house. They had a rotting, rusty, sharp and dangerous metal bin out in the yard that you couldn't remove. The wooden stairs leading up to the house were a hazard. They were so bad you had to be very careful where you stepped or you'd break your ankle. The deck was falling apart. They left the garage door a mess. The upstairs in the garage was disgusting, the door opener was and still is broken, the garage lights outside never did work. The walkway to the house was falling apart. We made the front yard look amazing. Looks like professional work was done to it. The fireplace hearth had a massive piece missing off the corner. No bother to even replace it. There were burn marks on the carpet. The walls were a mess. 2-3 different shades of color on it, dirty and disgusting. We washed dark brown dirt off the walls upstairs that the rental agency didn't bother to make sure was cleaned up. Here's the kicker. They made us pay $200 to get the carpets cleaned. Same carpets they REFUSED to replaced no matter how many times we asked them to. No matter how many times we told them it smelled awful, they said they didn't have the money to do it. We had a $1700 deposit with them, in total. $500 was refundable pet deposit. They CHECKED THE HOUSE before we left, said everything was fine. Said we would get our whole deposit back. New tenant comes in and claims there's an odor. Well DUH. So what do they do? The agency comes back and SUDDENLY they smell it! Even though they just didn't smell it when we were there. Ready for this? They took OUR MONEY and replaced the carpets. YEP! A huge chunk of our deposit. Our money. Remember how they wouldn't replace the carpet when WE asked them to for two years? Because they had no money, remember? Well now that had it. Our money. They. Are. Thieves. and liars. I haven't even told you about everything but I'm done wasting my time. DO. NOT. DO. BUSINESS. WITH. THEM!!! At least not with Roger Schneider himself. We thought he was a good business man and we gave him the benefit of the doubt for two years. We trusted him with our money. Looks like he took us in the end. His brother is nice, though. Too bad he isn't in the real estate business...
