When we first decided to build a new home, we weren't familiar with Maleno, but their reputation…read morepreceded them and we're happy we chose to work with them. Not knowing much about architecture and construction, my husband and I were relying on Maleno's expertise to create the perfect home from our vision--something that cannot be easy, but something that they accomplished beautifully. Initially we met with Natalie who helped us select our lot and was a primary point of contact throughout the process. She and Dominic were happy to meet us across town in a bitter snowstorm mid-construction so that we could do an impromptu walk-through. Not once did they seem putout. Natalie and Melissa worked with us to design a custom floorplan that we changed over and over until we finally hit that perfect layout for our family's needs. The number of times we rejected plan suggestions, I was sure they'd be getting frustrated, but their professionalism and patience never wavered. We had walkthroughs staggered over the building process and met with Natalie, Melissa, Dominic, and/or Richie. Each time our questions were answered, concerns were addressed, and requests for changes were noted. The building crew members were always accommodating during our visits, especially if we wanted to snap photos of the progress. We were lucky enough to get our keys just days before Erie was shut down for COVID-19 mitigation. For the sake of decreased exposure, only Natalie and Richie were present for that otherwise exciting day. They gave us a wealth of knowledge about our new home as we did our last walkthrough. After we'd gotten our keys, Ideal Sound & Vision set up our smart home devices and security. They were headed to Dominic's home to work on his house next. The fact that Maleno employs the same companies for their personal homes as they do for their customers' homes is indicative to me that they truly trust their contractors. It makes me more confident in the quality of our home's construction. Every large construction project is going to have issues. Any builder who tells you otherwise is lying. Naturally we had some concerns early on. We emailed Dominic regarding our concerns. Generally we received a response the same day (often within hours) about how the issue(s) would be handled. Every single concern we had was addressed. Not once did they tell us that something was not their problem or that they wouldn't follow up. Either a contractor was sent to us or Richie himself came to lend his skills. From a looming tree on an adjacent lot threatening to fall on our home, to a tiny screw hole that wasn't covered aesthetically--Maleno took care of it. Building our home was about as smooth a process as I could have expected. Designing it was not only fun, it was educational. And being able to see the house through its construction phases leaves little doubt as to the quality of a home we plan to spend many years. Maleno did an excellent job and continues to be accessible as we settle into our neighborhood. They are professional and always available to answer our questions. They left us feeling confident in our decision to build with them. Notably, Natalie was remarkably easy to work with and has such a welcoming personality. It was refreshing and enjoyable to work with her (especially after some less-than-stellar agents we've worked with in the past). After we were moved in, she checked in multiple times and when I reached out to her with some neighborhood questions, she responded immediately. Her customer service is unmatched. And Richie, Maleno's foreman extraordinaire, is easily one of the most accommodating and helpful people I've ever met. Despite obviously being in high-demand with all of the construction projects he's overseeing across Erie County, he's never abrupt, rushed or anything less than generous when working on any project (small or large). There are not enough hours in the day for how above and beyond he goes, but he manages.

aimee was incredible to work with. she helped us buy a home from 2000 miles away, over the span of…read morenearly 6 months. we'd find houses that peaked our interest, and aimee would follow up right away with more info, from mls listings to listing agent calls to virtual walk throughs. the home my husband fell in love and the one we ended up buying was a va reo home. apparently these purchases can be notoriously complicated. we had no experience with such a purchase, and i'm not sure if aimee did either, but aimee was patient and meticulous throughout the whole months long closing process. buying a foreclosure that we hope to make into our own was a bit frightening, but with aimee's attention to detail and clear communication skills, we knew we were making a good decision. we have made several real estate transactions with the help of several different realtors; aimee has definitely been one of the best we've had the pleasure to work with!

Okay, to be honest I've only ever encountered the rental property manager for Marsha Marsh, Nathan…read moreShontz, so be warned - my review may seem relatively limited to rentals. My family and I relocated to Erie last year, which is when I came into contact with Nathan during our search for a rental. Here's the first awesome thing - texting! No longer do you have to awkwardly talk on the phone to a complete stranger to get information or end up in their voicemail because they can't talk! With Nathan you get immediate responses to everything because he's embraced texting from a real-estate perspective! While he couldn't help us before we moved (we have five kids, so our needs were unique.) After spending a year in a home that was kind of falling apart around us, I contacted Nathan again - and he remembered me! He agreed to show me a property on my schedule and, when I didn't like it, immediately had other places in mind and showed them to me without any hesitation - finding us the perfect fit! Signing the lease and doing the walkthrough - super easy! Also, sending over cleaning and maintenance for anything that we need and always being available to us are just a couple of awesome management services. He'd probably babysit for me if I really needed it! Most importantly, I haven't, at any moment, felt like I was being taken for a ride or swindled. Sometimes you can just tell when someone is trying to sell you and doesn't really care about you, but it wasn't like that at all. I definitely recommend Nathan and Marsha Marsh to anyone in need of a real estate services.

The overwhelming…read moreincompetence, the incredible lack of giving a damn, the painful phone conversations, the idiotic payment system, the undeniable fact that a 2 year would finish their story first rather than these turds would call you back... Just a small list of the reasons that there is no way anyone should ever do business with this company. I rented an apartment off these dolts, that smelled awful, wasn't clean, and my move in inspection sheet was never submitted. Nothing says "Welcome" like finding a lot of glass in your carpet. Any amount of glass is too much, but a lot of glass is honestly just impressive. I genuinely hope this review is taken to heart. I really want other people to look at this company any go, "wow, they really just don't care." How did it take you 3 months to get me my security deposit back? Are you dense or just dumb? Like, you thought I wouldn't notice?? You will never get a call back from these people, don't expect them to hire people that actually give a shit (I love when I have to vacuum because your maintenance guy tracks mud through the living room), and definitely do not trust anything they say. Robin, you suck. You are an awful employee and I'm calling you out. After 5 months of you hoping you would do right by me, I have submitted. You win. You have successfully become more of a piece of garbage than me and I really have to respect that, in the same way you respect Chris Brown for beating up Rihanna. Do not rent from these people. They wear masks and do not care.
