We've had an absolutely great experience with them. We started working with them back in 2018…read more They helped us locate our first renters and get the unit ready for them cheaply despite the need for a super fast turnaround. (Our new home was being completely remodeled and fell behind schedule, so we had nowhere to go until the last minute.) They handled all the interactions with the renters, including when the washing machine died shortly before the wife went into labor. They sent us options for a comparable machine via email, I picked one, and they had it installed next day. It was so hands-off and easy that when my mother-in-law moved out here, we decided to keep using them. While she reaches out to us for easy-to-fix problems, if it's anything more complicated, they can turn it around faster and cheaper than we can. It's worth the money to know that she won't be without, say, heat because she won't call us in the middle of the night and/or we can't find someone to come by fast enough.

I wanted to update my review: Again...GREAT company if you…read moreown a rental. I'll let you fill in your own adjective for what they are if you are a renter in one of their properties. I'm reviewing twice (trying to update mine and not do two...oh well). After waiting 28 days after moving out, we finally received EXACTLY 50% of our deposit back. They hired a cleaner to reclean the house after finding any and every dust ball or smudge. They had to hire maintenance to weed (unrealistic level of weeding that no human can sustain). And charged us $375 for 6 holes in the wall that we puddied but couldn't paint due to their maintenance person not being available to get us matching paints. They didn't give us our utility bill so we incurred a late fee that they will not take ownership of or adjust. They also told us we wouldn't be charged for a light bulb that was out, charged us for it anyways, then half admitted to the issue and finally issued a refund of $110 for one burnt light!!! We work really hard and save our pennies. We can also barely afford to live in Kirkland. We've rented for over 13 years from multiple people and have NEVER had a penny withheld. Here's what a recommend to any future renters of Gregory Property Management: 1. Pay your rent but don't you dare live in the home. If you do, wear booties, and don't scuff the baseboards. 2. Don't use the lights...but still check them ALL before moving out or you'll be charged. 3. Just go ahead and let your small children be crushed by bookshelves as securing them to the wall will leave a hole, which you can't fix yourself and they have to charge you to paint the ENTIRE WALL again. 4. Just spray toxic pesticides everywhere you can...but keep the grass and bushes in perfect condition. 5. And they offer you so many options to hire "their people" to do yard care and cleaning for you. Get it in writing and amounts...but just take them up on their offer...They're going to charge you for them in the end anyways. These are facts and not an opinion (except for the last part...that's just my therapy so I don't cry). Companies should be held accountable, but I will definitely be checking if they manage a property I am looking to live in moving forward. I hope you do to.

I used Mike Runyan and Remax to sell my home in Bremerton last year. I was extremely impressed with…read morethe service I received. Mike made sure we were prepared, letting us know what was important to have done to assure the property would be ready for the sale. He advised us on the best pricing for the market in our area.

Had you asked if I rec Broadcast Apts just 6 months ago, the answer would have been a resounding…read moreand unequivocal NO; however, I am SO THANKFUL Madrona took over management in Jan 2024. Good on the building owner for making this switch. For context, Blanton Turner was in charge prior and I had the absolute WORST move-in/living experience you could imagine (August 2023). I am sure some Broadcast residents felt happy long ago under PREVIOUS BT agents (Keith also managed a previous apt of mine and he did a fantastic job...but he's no longer working in the field and seemed to be an amazing outlier with BT), so current residents who did NOT ACTUALLY MOVE-IN under the latest BT management in 2023 may not be aware of the dreadful state of affairs for new residents (that have since been rectified by Madrona). Things Madrona fixed during their 1st week: 1) Had a locksmith come out to fix a broken stairwell door. This door had to be propped open and the knob would not turn or open. Talk about a fire hazard. It's fixed now though, so don't worry! 2) Had the stairwell carpets professionally cleaned. I actually didn't know this was possible! There were numerous puddles of dog urine on every landing prior to this cleaning. It looks like a new carpet was installed! 3) MADE A SECURE PACKAGE ROOM!!! For anyone new to the Seattle area, package theft is VERY common. I have had 0 issues under Madrona, but I'm sure a few cases will invariably arise here and there. No matter where I live on The Hill, this is an issue. Under BT, WE HAD NO ACCESS to the overwhelming majority of our packages (save for a handful that can fit in the small Luxer locker) from Fri afternoon to Mon afternoon (management usually left directly after stuffing the packages in the office on Friday). One time, I was left waiting for my medication all weekend! If I had a delivery at 12 in the afternoon on a Friday, I'd miss it if I went looking for it by 12:30. BT also had this complete lack of access to one's packages as far back as a decade ago...sigh. They don't seem to change with the times. Literally no one else operates this way. Stay as far away from BT as you can. Other issues Madrona fixed: 4) Had the mildew professionally cleaned off EVERY balcony. I also fully expect them to keep up with this cleaning periodically. This was huge for me! I asked the BT agent during my tour if they would have this cleaned before I moved in. I got a (fake) enthusiastic "yes!!!" yet moved in to see the same massive chunk of mildew that had likely been sitting there for possibly 7 years. I have a condition called MCAS, where I have severe allergies (up to anaphylaxis) to many foods, fragrances, and mold/mildew. My doctor has advised me to stay away from mold/mildew. I realize mildew will grow back EVENTUALLY, but no one should expect me to risk cleaning that off myself, esp when I was up front about my condition. I legit need an EpiPen, so BT's lack of care was really frustrating and, honestly, concerning. 5) Had the exterior windows professionally cleaned. 6) Madrona is HIGHLY responsive to emails. BT literally never answered ANY emails/phone calls. I only knew I had secured my apt 3 days prior to move-in, after calling the office over and over again. Imagine if I'd had to cancel my movers!? You can imagine my panic! Also, Madrona's office is literally a 1 minute walk away from Broadcast. If you miss them during office hrs over at Broadcast, they will be super easy to reach at their official location. I have to say though, I have never needed to reach them in person BECAUSE they are highly responsive VIA email. 7) Fixed our water bills so they were no longer arriving in the mail at incredibly random times, after we had already paid the small online service fee for rent. P.s. the service fee was higher under BT (it's less than a dollar for Madrona). Now we can pay BOTH water/rent bills at the same time and not wonder when our next water bill will be arriving. 8) THE PEOPLE! Charlotte, Andrea, Chad, and STEVE are all AMAZING! Super personable, professional, reliable and timely. Which brings me tooooo.... 9) TIMELY maintenance requests fulfilled. BT literally had NO MAINTENANCE STAFF ON HAND FOR 4 months after I moved in. I was in utter shock, considering how many things were broken BEFORE I moved in. I was pleasantly surprised when Chad came out to fix my breaker the VERY 1ST WEEK Madrona took over. He also fixed the handful of other residents' breakers in need of repair work for months (hopefully not longer, honestly), so you won't be moving in with the same issues I faced. 10) Professional cleanings on a regular basis. I always see a friendly cleaning agency in here cleaning the common areas and the apts currently up for lease. I had to wash my clothes in an unleased apt (bc BT left me a toxic moldy washing machine) and the dustiness/uncleanliness of the unused rooms was visible. That's definitely not an issue now, far from it! Broadcast finally feels like home!

Like many other people in the current economic depression, we had to short sell our house recently…read more Bear in mind this is not something that I would have ever chosen to do - my husband and I literally got laid off from our jobs within two weeks of each other, and we had to make the radical decision to move to Las Vegas where my husband had a good job lined up for him at the time. I loved this house dearly and hated to see it go, but that's the economic reality. And no, we weren't deadbeats who couldn't afford the house. This was literally the weirdest sale ever. The buyer, and moreover the buyer's lender, had such severe problems that this deal was in jeopardy multiple times during the sale. We went through attorneys to delay the short sale, had document mixups, and experienced any other problem you can possibly think of, and Andy and his team still managed to wade through all the confusion and close this sale. This sale included issues with the buyer's lender fudging the paperwork to be $700 short which caused a week's delay, the buyer randomly showing up with huge amounts of cash which required paperwork to be redrawn, and complete disarray in paperwork that no one but Andy and his team could possibly sort out. Despite all these things, Andy, Kamran, and the other people at VREG managed to navigate this nightmare and get this deal figured out. We had multiple dealings with attorneys which helped us extend this process, but the real noteworthy thing is that there was a point where our attorney told us that our sale could be delayed no longer. Despite this "official" legal advice, Andy and his staff pressed our mortgage holder, and managed to get a further extension which finally enabled this deal to go through. Andy and his team at Venture Real Estate Group are nothing short of miracle workers in the Seattle real-estate market. They managed to close what is, I am assuming, one of the most ridiculously complicated sales they have ever seen. I cannot recommend Andy Langsord and Venture Real Estate Group highly enough. They managed to turn what would have been an absolutely hopeless experience into one that worked.

After being…read morestuck with an ineffective real estate agent for 3 months, I got a recommendation from a coworker to contact PRESS. We met with Brett for 2 hours - he explained how the program worked, the services provided, and then gave us 3 agents to choose from based on what we needed and what kind of people we liked to work with. The agent we picked (name kept anonymous to not sway future clients) was stellar - hard working, intelligent, completely on top of everything related to both our sale and purchase. In addition, PRESS provided recommendations for several other services: mortgage broker, inspector, plumber, escrow, you name it. It was incredibly comforting to have implicit trust in everyone we worked with throughout a very complicated process. We ended up selling our house, finding a great new one, and closed both on time (and on the same day!). Everyone was 100% on top of things the whole way through. I don't ever want to do real estate without PRESS by my side again. For a service that didn't cost us any extra and made the whole process less stressful, I'm not sure why there aren't even more of these services.

I've used TEC for both buying and selling and have been beyond satisfied every time. What really stood out is that my agent took time to explain and detail every step of the process. It took out a lot of the guesswork I had in dealing with real estate and made it feel "easy." Before talking with them I was totally overwhelmed with the prospect of buying a house. I'd talked to a few other agencies and they seemed quick to make a sale - but the TEC team actually made sure I understood what it all entailed. Specifically, on the buying side, my agent had some really helpful tips on how to scope potential properties beyond what we probably all do on Zillow. I thought I'd found a few places that were wonderful and they were able to find a couple things that were dealbreakers. On the selling side they likewise had some really great tips I never would have considered to make the process easier. Overall would totally recommend to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Seattle area.

I have delt with many of real estate agents and good ones are few and far between. Dennis also had the resources to help finish some of the key projects that he identified would add value to our home. Dennis was helpful in pointing out little details buyers get focused​ on. He did a great job putting together comparable houses for sale in our area to determine​ pricing, he was also able to re-adjust as the market changed. We needed the house sold, Dennis could have suggested we hold out (so he made more money at the higher price) Instead Dennis made recommendations around a price drop and our options as to what it would take to move the house fast, which demonstrated a vested interest in us and our situation instead of just trying to make a few extra bucks. The house sold fast we still made money and the closing went smoothly. I am currently using Dennis to help me buy a house and his connections and relationships with quality proven mortgage brokers has already been a big asset to me. Dennis seems to have a pretty good bead on the very aggressive market here and we are preparing to. Move fast with a tight attractive offer when the perfect fit comes along. I will continue to use his services going and would highly recommend him
