The apartment itself was really nice--historic building, exposed brick, skylights--and was an amazing bargain at $750/mo with heat and hot water included. Not only was the apartment top rate, so was Kingwood Management. Maintenance issues were handled promptly. Office staff and the live in care takers were friendly and helpful. How refreshing to find a professional, customer oriented property management company! If you are looking for a nice, reasonably priced apartment in an historic building, give Kingwood a call about 275 West 7th.

He had excellent timing when it came to our requests for repairs, his open communication was very helpful when we needed his assistance for anything or had questions, and he upheld a high integrity when it came to the lease. He is a very humble businessman and runs his properties with strong responsibility. His maintainence vendors were very respectful of our home and willing to work out time slots for repairs in a timely manner. Our property was kept up to date with maintenance repairs (yearly) and state codes. His empathy was clearly shown during our time of financial stress, when he sent a list of community resources and county assistance programs, plus tips on how to file, to help us out. When our German Shepherd passed away, he sent out a sympathy email and gave the ok to get another dog when we were ready with no additional deposit. We truly cannot thank Nick enough for all of his help and his generosity. This rental property was not a regular rental property; it was our home. We look forward to buying a house for him in the near future.

BEWARE. Applegate employees write positive reviews about themselves online. I know this for a…read morefact. Applegate is frankly just out to take money, and do not care at all about the tenant. They have screwed me in terms of rent increases without warning, unforeseen or previously reconciled charges, and simply not acting as a professional business. They have no problem billing you for random things, or not refunding. My pet deposit of $400 was non-refundable when I moved in, and I didn't have a choice. I work throughout the week, and once they called me 3 times in 3 hours, leaving messages for me to call them and see if they can schedule an appointment. Seriously, if I don't pick up the first time, I will CALL YOU BACK. There is NO organization, system of management, or professionalism with Applegate. Not to mention they are consistently late for scheduling showing times, and it is not uncommon to have them tell you "Well, we couldn't get there because the visitor is not here." Well have the decency to call me and tell me that. Please, I write this because I care for tenant's rights. Save yourself a headache, if not a migraine, and find any other property management to go through. Even if it's an extra 5-10 minute drive, you will not regret it. Johnny

This review is for their New Richmond, WI office: Their…read morecustomer service deserves a negative rating. While attempting to (politely) help resolve a dispute over a deposit they withheld, they threatened to have the police called on me. I never did get to talk to a live person at their office about the issue. Their doors are always locked and now I see why. My friend had to file a small claims action against them and deal with their attorney. Document and photograph EVERY speck of dirt and damage when you move in to one of their properties. Ironically, we settled for return of half of the deposit which is all we wanted in the first place. It does pay to take them to small claims court if you believe you are in the right and you have the documentation! You don't need an attorney and it cost about $100 to file. If they improperly withhold your deposit and you win in court, you can get double your deposit back plus your court fees.

They stated that "carpet matting," and "not moving our furniture" was damaging enough that they needed to replace the carpet. Two years of simply living in an apartment will mat the carpet regardless. They also stated that there was "dust" in every room, and therefore charged us in excess for that "damage." They went on to charge us for strands of hair found in the apartment, and a bug in one of the light fixtures that we were NOT supposed to remove. I sent a letter detailing which claims I was refuting, and they wrote back stating that the following where damages, and we continue to be charged for them.

In addition, he communicated with the condo association and provided all required documents for set up the HOA payments on time. Moreover, he suggested to do the Mobile closing ( the notary came to my home for signing the closing paper in the closing date) which saved my time and $$$ money because I did not need to fly to Minnesota just for the closing. Mr.Mark Gettinger has provided an outstanding customer service. He commutated with my Closing company and Lender directly when I needed the information's clarification ( especially, the specific legal terminology). Furthermore, all the paper work and earning money sending were done electronically-it was so easy and accurate as well as saving a lot of my time and energy in this busy life. In Sum, the closing was done on time, and my Lender told me that they were impressed how Mr. Mark Gettinger was able to manage very professionally the condo purchase ( which is required more knowledge and documentation than purchasing a single home) and also for a Buyer who is living in the different state. I am recommending Mr. Mark Gettinger as a trustful, knowledgeable, thoughtful, and professional Real Estate Agent.
