They value the time and money of potential residents much higher than that of current residents no matter how long you've lived there. I was walked in on while asleep and half clothed by maintenance men not once but TWICE without them knocking. This is about as close as you can get to being in an HOA without ever having signed up to be in one. They are strict and often passive aggressive including but not limited to threatening to drain the pools if residents can not "cooperate" with their rules. Children are not allowed in pool areas even with adults. I also frequently had to keep my thermostat around 75 degrees to keep my apartment above a hoodie temp. due to poor insulation. Beware.

I didn't leave the place in perfect shape but as someone with family in construction and renovation I guarantee you it was NOT worth that much. What the hell is the point of a deposit at that point? Sure it has a lot of nice reviews but interesting that they're all from 8 years ago, around the time the place was nearly done being built. Likely a promotion ran where they gave some perk to people leaving nice reviews. They're nice at first but the moment you're in there it literally feels like you cannot LIVE there. You have passive aggressive management sending rude letters and emails- to the point now where any notice from a landlord sends my anxiety up the roof, even to this day when I live in a HOUSE now. Management, don't even bother responding to this because I'm not reading your responses. I don't trust you enough to give you my real name, because knowing you, you'd be awful. At this point, I don't trust you to actually be genuine in anything you say. Everything is a nice platitude to get the next lease in your roster so you can rip someone else off.

Working with Accord Realty has been one of the most stressful and frustrating experiences of my…read morelife. I was looking for a starter home in the Madison area and had the displeasure of working with their agent, Greta Drammeh. What I was looking for was an advocate that could help me through the complex and confusing process of buying a home for the first time. Greta advised me to make higher and higher bids on a home I was looking at. After an inspection it turned out the home was a real dud, there were a massive number of undisclosed defects that adversely impacted the value of the home, not to mention the time and stress required to deal with them. Over the course of the next week Greta failed to negotiate any real solution to the defects, coming back with only a token $1000 credit from the sellers as a "win" despite the defects costing far more to fix. I was never able to learn the actual extent of the defects as Greta never got the inspectors we requested in the house to look at the issues and get in person quotes despite our insistence. This whole process has left me distraught and in my opinion Accord Realty did not prioritize me as a client over getting their commission as soon as possible with minimal resistance. I needed a fighter for this difficult transaction and that is NOT what I got with Greta and Accord Realty. If you are looking for a home around Madison my advice would be to find a representative and advocate elsewhere.

Our current and ongoing experience with Accord Realty has been an absolute disaster. I feel that my…read morerealtor (Greta Drammeh) has let me and my partner down in what should have been an exciting first time home buying experience. The house in question had over 10 undisclosed defects (which are defined by Wisconsin law as a "condition that would have a significant adverse effect on the value of the property") that only arose during the inspection process (including two active water leaks, mold, a broken rafter, and a dead animal in the chimney). While we expected some issues to come up in the inspection given the age of the house; however, we were flabbergasted at all of the defects, but we were more stunned when we realized that Greta did very little to advocate for us in negotiations with the selling party. We requested multiple times from Greta that she get certified contractions to get into the house to provide us with quotes to repair the defects, which we feel she failed to do. Additionally, once we made it clear we were no longer interested in the house, she did very little to help us get out of the deal with any of our earnest money. We believe that she wanted to settle the matter as quickly as she could instead of advocating for us like a realtor should have done. We also saw a noticeable shift in her behavior once we made it clear multiple times that we did not want the house as there were too many unknowns and did not feel comfortable going forward with the purchase (she stopped responding as quickly to our emails, and delayed sending us communications from the selling party). The whole situation has left a bad taste in our mouth, and a significant amount of disappointment with Greta and Accord Realty. We will be looking for a different realtor in the future to meet our needs.

Is there a rating lower than zero? Avoid these people like the plague. The owner (Matt B.) is…read moreliterally "in over his head" in attempting to run this business. He is unprofessional, lacks any communication skills, and is indifferent to the needs of the association he "serves". He doesn't understand that he works for the owners of each property he manages. Our condo association recently fired CMA as a result of years of negligence of their duties. Without elaborating fully, there is an owner in our condo unit that has been financially irresponsible as well as slovenly in the upkeep on their unit for over 6 years without any meaningful action being taken. Corrective actions were started but NEVER followed through upon, resulting in a owner who is endangering not only the structure of our building but also the collective health of all other owners who reside there. There are many other competent management companies that you can use in the Madison area. CMA should not even be a last resort! If CMA manages the property about which you are inquiring, do yourself a favor and buy a house!

Our apartment was extremely clean and well-maintained. It was quite cheap for being such a large apartment. I really liked the layout which always felt homey. It was always very quiet (we rarely heard our neighbors). It also had great perks, such as abundant free parking, a pool, locked intercom entry and in-unit laundry. The only downside is that they don't allow pets. But management was extremely nice, helpful and speedy. As a student at UW, this location is amazing for people who want to be a short bus ride away, but removed from the hustle and bustle of downtown. It's right on several bus lines that get you to campus and downtown within 15 minutes. It's also within walking distance to many great parks, restaurants and shops (Hilldale Mall).
