Frequent pest problems (mice, birds, squirrels, roaches), leaking roof, faulty/ nonfunctioning electrical, and mold. Rude and gave us the runaround and lied on more than one occasion until we finally got the Board of Health involved. The heat hardly worked and stopped working for my 80 yr. old neighbor in the dead of winter; took them 5 days to repair it. I wouldn't recommend renting or buying a property from them unless you're desperate.

The place needed repairs that delayed the sale of my unit for over a year. I requested closing documents from them for the eventual sale, when I had to sell at a huge loss, and they never sent the documents and kept the charges any way. They never responded to any of my correspondence. Stay away from any property they manage. They are incompetent and will do almost nothing for the huge fee they charge.

We recently purchased a fantastic loft condo in downtown Lowell with the help of Christine Metros…read moreNatale (Homes by Christine) as our realtor. We were incredibly lucky to find someone like Christine who knows the area well and understands the market. We knew little about the Lowell area and could have easily bought in an unsafe area or overpaid if it wasn't for her honest and sound advice. She has decades of experience in the area and has won awards and we can see why! When we started looking there were not many loft condos on the market in downtown Lowell. But whenever a new property came on the market she made herself available to show it right away. Christine helped us find a great property which met all of our requirements and addressed our safety concerns. She had the knowledge and experience to handle all aspects of the negotiation. She was always accessible and kept us updated on what was happening. She spent a great deal of time helping us find the right condo for our needs and then facilitated the deal. She even found us a great month to month apartment rental to bridge the gap while waiting for the closing. The property was perfect for our needs but was a short sale and it turned out to be an especially difficult one. It was only because of Christine's expertise and perseverance that the deal finally went through. The sellers realtor was pretty clueless about how to do a short sale but Christine is truly an expert at this and continually followed through with the banks until they finally gave the approval. Christine knew how perfect this condo was for our situation and I believe that she genuinely cared that we got it; she didn't give up on the deal even though the short sale approval took months longer than expected and continued to take up her time on an almost daily basis, as she handled all the negotiations herself. I feel strongly that this difficult short sale would not have been successful if a less experienced, less tenacious realtor was handling it. I highly recommend Christine from Homes by Christine if you're looking for an expert realtor with integrity!

This is a review for the princeton property apartments in Lowell (imperial gardens)…read morePros: 1.Move in rent is low. 2.Heat, hot water and gas for cooking is included. 3.They have an online portal to request maintenance. You can also call, and they enter it for you right away. The maintenance crew usually very prompt. For almost all my maintenance requests, the turn around was with 48 hours. 4.There is a nice swimming pool that's open in summer. Cons: 1. Severe roach and mice problem. Roaches are there all the time, no matter how clean you keep your apartment. On top of roaches, in winter you have mice coming in thru heating ducts and holes in the wall behind the stove in the kitchen. I have had mice problems in both this winter and last winter. If you call maintenance about mice, they seem to get a little hostile over the phone. Last time when I complained about mice, they told me that their pest control guy comes only once a week and I have to wait for him. He came once, didn't find anything and he left without doing anything. Again while cooking, I see a little mouse that comes out from behind the control panel of the oven and then run back in. I call back again and they tell me to wait for another one more week before he comes again. And they also told me that all he can do is set traps. If he doesn't catch it, there is nothing they can do. Long story short: Be prepared to share your apartment with mice and roaches. 2. When I moved in my rent was around $950/month. In 2 years they raised it to about $1250/month. I was signing leases shorter than a year and they increase rent with every lease. So right now I am paying about $1250 for a one bedroom mice/roach infested apartment in Lowell! 3. Its happened at least 2 times (probably more) in my last 2 years of stay where they suddenly switched off hot water in the morning. When I call them they tell me that the guys who fix hot water come without notice and there is nothing they can do. Also one time they shut water off altogether (again in winter). I had to get out for work, so I go to local CVS and get a few gallons of water so that I could take a quick shower before leaving for work.

The property manager for one. This is the property up in New Hampshire Boulder Park. They take your…read moremoney before you get a chance to see your apartment. They'll show you an apartment, but trust me it's not the one you're going to get. The one you're going to get is basically pretty shabby looking. If you want one that's been refurbished you're going to be paying probably about 200 bucks more a month. This frequent breakdowns. They're very slow in fixing them until you threaten to call the city and have them come out then they fix them. The other thing they do is that there's a condominium complex above them. They encourage the apartment residents to walk up into the condo association with their dogs. They don't clean up after their dogs and it's disgusting. And the simple thing they could do is they've not done is they could put a notice on all of the buildings they have that's saying do not go up into the condominiums that's private property. They don't do that. They actually subtly encourage you to go up there which is just ridiculous. And the fact is there's an awful lot of section 8 housing in there so you can imagine the type of quality people that are walking up into the condos.
