As a knowledgeable, highly professional agent of both real estate and property management, Dave…read moreMarvin proved to be a superb choice for marketing my property. I first decided to sell my home. However, after talking with several friends and associates, who had rented homes before selling, I became fairly certain I would rent the property for two years and then sell. My thought was that income from renting would help pay for renovations of the home before sale and for the expense of moving to my new location. If the property sold within three years after I first moved out, I would be protected from considerable capital gains taxes. With this in mind, I decided to work with an agent who could seamlessly switch from property management to seller's agent. During the several months, when I was updating and renovating the property, the real estate market fell into greater turmoil than it had already been in. Once again, I changed my mind and decided to just sell. After dickering somewhat extensively with one set of potential buyers, I finally told Dave that, if those potential buyers wanted a further concession of so much as one penny (I made it clear I MEANT exactly this), he should not tell me. All I wanted to hear from him in that case was, "The house is going back on the market. What we need to discuss is whether to put it back for sale or rent. Given these circumstances, it was likely clear to the buyer's agent that he (Dave) would lose nothing, if the house were rented and then later sold. The buyer's agent, however, would also know they would only get a commission if the house were sold. Dave Marvin's professional, knowledgeable, and cool head as well as his expertise as both a property manager and a selling agent made the experience of selling the house seamless. I highly recommend Dave Marvin of Marvin Gardens, Longmont, CO, as an agent for the selling, buying, or the renting of a property.

Among my concerns: * My stated screening requirements were not followed. * I was told that pre-screening before showings could not be accommodated. * After I terminated the relationship, Marvin Gardens continued to act as though it remained in effect, including continuing to schedule showings. * I dispute fees that Marvin Gardens claims are owed. * I have filed a complaint with the Colorado Division of Real Estate and have retained the underlying emails and supporting documents. Based on my experience, I would not hire Marvin Gardens again.

I rate Alert Realty as consistently horrible with brief interludes of moderately miserable. The…read moreowner, Bryan, was a festering boil on the buttocks of the realty business and everything about Alert Realty was malignant, poisonous, and toxic. You could scrape the bottom of the barrel and that would be a vast improvement over anything his company had to offer. Thank goodness they have closed their doors and are no longer in business. There is a little less darkness in the world and Colorado's vibration just went up a notch. Being a property manager is a considerable responsibility and a position of integrity and authority and after being their customer for 14+ years, I would not trust Potter to manage an outhouse or a cesspool and if he used my outhouse, I'd check to see if the toilet paper was gone, he is so full of it. Alert Realty was a rancid abomination and blemish on the real-estate industry and Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! They have finally closed their doors! I don't know if it was negligence, incompetence, or just plain selfish greed that makes people like this think it's okay to put other people's health and even their lives at risk and to do so casually without a second thought, as standard operating procedure... business as usual. That contemptuous attitude earned Alert Realty the #1 spot on the Worst of Longmont list and made them a Top #10 contender on the Worst of Colorado list. They worked hard for it and they deserve it and I agree that they are the absolute worst Longmont had to offer. Alert Realty reminded that there are people in this world so despicable, there is little to compare them to. If there was a 'Golden Review' like a Golden Ticket or Golden Buzzer that would automagically put a company out of business, I would have used my Golden Review to put Alert Realty in the unemployment line where they belonged., Fortunately, for the world, the owner retired and will no longer be spewing his reckless business acumen upon the world. Ding Dong! The witch is dead! May Bryan Potter never come out of retirement! I was lucky in life in that this was my first experience with a slumlord and it was bewildering having to accept that I was renting from such deceitful, insincere people. I rented from them for almost 15 years and there were many reasons not to trust this company. I never trusted them to be unsupervised in my home and, at one point, considered getting a restraining order against them. They were disorganized, like a chicken without a head, and the leadership of that company had questionable integrity, so everyone who worked there fell into that category. The front face of the company, the 'leasing associate' Amanda was a poster child for 'unprofessional' with such awful communications skills, she should never be in customer-facing jobs. She was also an incredulous liar. Nearly every interaction with Amanda was unpleasant & made me upchuck and left a rotten taste in my mouth that was hard to get rid of. If I think of her still, I have to spit. Mr. Potters last act as my property mangler was to steal. He stole $150 or so from my deposit; he could legally steal my money because my lease said I should clean my carpet at move out. The carpet absolutely had to be replaced but still, Mr. Potter charged me to clean his 20-year-old carpet that was torn and disintegrating and could not possibly be washed. That is Bryan Potter's character or lack thereof. This is the caliber of integrity from Bryan. Zilch. Caput. Nada. The world should remember Bryan Potter is a common thief, abusing his position of authority and trust one last time. I write a bit and to process the experiences I had in dealing with this wretched company, I wrote numerous reviews but I also wrote a song, a poem and even a screenplay, all disparaging and vulgar. One couldn't honestly describe Potter and his rancid company without swearing a lot. The 1-2 star reviews tell the true story of this company and are the reviews to pay attention to. I doubt the validity of any 5-star reviews - when I see conflicting ratings and someone or something either gets a 1 or a 5, but nothing in between, one of them is probably bs. I graciously rated Alert 1 star because you can't rate less than that. Reviews are helpful but, these were rotten people and so, I felt that I should hold them accountable and file complaints against this company with the BBB (https://www.bbb.org) and with the National Rental Protection Agency (https://www.rentalprotectionagency.com/complaint_center.php) as well as Colorado Association of Realtors (www.coloradorealtors.com). If you encounter slumlords, you should report them there. I also reported them to the property owner who had trusted them in good faith even though their property was grossly neglected into disrepair. I hope she recovers from their considerable damages. This was a dangerous company to deal with for many. Great, they are gone!

I asked him to please not tell jokes like that, and he defended the action by saying "but they laughed", AFTER I told him that they were so deeply offended that they would rather abandon a property they loved than pay his office a dime. His tone-deafness is a liability in 2020. I asked to please work with another agent from the office, and he connected me with Matt Mulcahy. He and I worked wonderfully together until he took a new position at Keller Williams (I highly recommend him). I was told I would transition to Jesse. Instead, Arnold took it upon himself, after I had made that boundary very clear. When I voiced my opposition to this, Arnold contacted my Ex Husband (they are aquatinted) to discuss and circumvent me. My former spouse has had ZERO to do with my property for over 6 months. The misogyny and disrespect for women in particular is not something I will tolerate and was the reason for the termination of our real estate contract. I should have known exactly what the situation was when I heard him refer to the women who do ALL of the hard work at his office as "my girls". These are professional grown women who keep his business operational. Not *anyones* "girls". Or to his farm employees as "my hired-men". It took me a while to figure out why this didn't sit well with me. It's because "hired-man" is a descriptor connoting that this person is indeed being paid, as opposed to the tradition of unpaid farm labor, aka, slavery. Over the last 140 years or so, "employee" has become part of the common vernacular to create equality for every person who receives a paycheck. This is only the tip of the "Iceberg of Disrespect" that is Arnold Turner. If you are looking for a great realtor, I recommend Matt Mulcahy of Keller Williams.

Upon initial interactions with my short term (1 month rental) the process seemed friendly enough, LOTs of emails, background check, docusigns and additional ADMIN fees not part of the original listing; just to stay in an apartment for 1 month(while I was looking for a long term place). Looking back I should have just used Airbnb to make it more seamless... Upon extension of my short term lease, I was stuck in a tough situation where I needed to make an unforeseen change to my short term lease, less than 24 hours after signing. I promptly contacted Fox Management to clearly explain and asked to make an addendum to the lease. I was met with absolutely zero flexibility, a complete lack of empathy, ignored emails, ignored phone calls, unreturned voice messages, absolute disregard for people transitioning into new living situations from Tiffany and Ross. Management cited "we're a business we have to do what is best for our business" and "we are too busy, we'll look at that later". Fox Property management touts.... "smooth, thoughtful, guest centered operations" "bringing a sense of ease, comfort, and care into every stay".... I was met with the complete opposite from the short term management team. I can wholeheartedly say that this company has zero interest in helping you have a smooth experience, and is solely operating to gouge you with extra fees and maximize their return and benefit on the already overpriced properties they manage in Boulder.
