PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT - BEWARE!!!…read more If you are considering renting an apartment from these people, buckle up. This is required reading ... I am warning you now - DO NOT rent from these money grubbers. They will charge you a fee to sh*t in your own toilet. They will say anything they need to in response to this to appear like they are a people-centric business and that they "are sorry for my experience". Just know ...... THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT ANYTHING BUT DOLLAR SIGNS. They are not sorry. They are morally corrupt liars. AVOID AVOID AVOID. God forbid an unforeseen circumstance arise that requires you to relocate, or even if you intend to buy a house .... you will be charged a non-negotiable "re-leasing fee" equal to 85% of one month's rent to cover the "administrative and operational costs" associated with getting the apartment re-rented. TELL ME HOW IT COSTS $1,530 TO GET A 1 BEDROOM APARTMENT IN THE HEART OF DOWNTOWN EXETER RE-RENTED ..... that's how much they charged me to break my lease when I got a new job that required me to relocate to Florida. And on top of that it took them OVER A MONTH TO RE-RENT THE APARTMENT, which meant I had to cough up $1,850 to cover rent for another month when I had already moved out entirely and am now living in another state! A property management company that can't fill a unit with 45 days notice? Crazy. Are you even working???? Even crazier watching some of the showings and hearing the lack of urgency to re-rent telling prospective tenants "if you're not sure on this one we will have a bunch of other properties coming available in the next month or two". I've worked with 6 other property management companies and I have NEVER experienced anything like this. Truly god awful. They tried to charge me a maintenance fee for unlocking my door after hours when "tenant wasn't home". This was a maintenance request that was cancelled and not my problem that their system didn't update properly. The best part is that I WAS HOME and they knew it but still lied. I was in bed at 9:30pm when I heard someone barging into my front door. I ran downstairs and maintenance quickly shut the door and drove away. Maintenance then texted apologizing and I apologized that they didn't get the cancellation. (I have screen shots of these texts and of the subsequent charge on my account with their blatant lies). Only after they learned that I have a camera inside which records and saves all motion activity did they remove this charge from my account. Yes, I can see them unlock the door and yes you can see me immediately re-open the door after they hurriedly left to see who it was. Oh by the way, they added this charge to my account in MARCH (once I started becoming frustrated with their lack of urgency to fill the unit) saying it was overdue since 1/20/2025!!!! Again, money-grubbers. I cannot emphasize that enough. In one of our final email exchanges Jeff Way claimed they had to have a cleaner come in because "it smelled like cat in there pretty bad". (Mind you this is DAYS after the apartment has been DEEP cleaned, aired out and SHOWN TO MULTIPLE PROSPECTIVE TENANTS). This was an additional $120 charge they added to my account (that they reduced to $60 after I explained I had photo and video evidence of the cleaning I had done). Important to note - I am an exceptionally tidy and organized individual. I cannot function in a dirty environment and dusted, swept, vacuumed and steam moped WEEKLY. I love fresh air and always had the windows open, oh and by the way my place was FULL of plants (over 50) that purify the air. I spent 2 WHOLE days cleaning (not joking) and it was sparkling in that place when I left. You should see their "move-out cleaning checklist", which I followed to a T. I had 3 friends come by to pick up some plants I left behind for them, and my mother also stopped by to video the entire apartment empty and cleaned. All of whom said great things about the state in which I left the apartment. IT WAS SPOTLESS. Do not believe their lies in response to this. This is just ANOTHER example of their money-grubbing ways. I could go on and on, but I digress. It cost me $3,600 a) to break my lease and b) to pay for their lack of talent in marketing their units and bringing in new renters. TRASH. The writing is on the wall people. I had heard awful things about the company and still took the risk because the apartment was cute and I was in a bit of a time crunch. Seriously, please learn from my mistake. Do yourself and your wallet a favor - avoid this company at all costs or it will cost you more than you can even imagine. They are not worth the headache. Disgraceful, disgusting company. I am relieved to wash their filth off my hands for good.

Maria was incredible through this crisis, and throughout the entire process from start to finish. Since I don't live locally (the unit was a rental) I felt worried about selling my condo from afar. I needed someone I could trust to fairly & honestly represent my interests, who would stay in close contact with me about the property and potential buyer's feedback. She organized the paperwork; the open houses; the coordinating of multiple owners at the property; and arranged to have my belongings packed, moved and stored at a local facility -- all without a single glitch. She was responsive to my every request despite the time difference, she stayed positive regardless of the inevitable challenges inherent in any real estate transaction; and was a pleasure to work with. Maria is a true professional and I highly recommend both her and Dan.

I was very pleased with Blue Water Mortgage. I was introduced to Chad by my realtor early in our…read morequest to downsize into a condo. At the time, I had chosen a nation wide lender, I was familiar with, and they had given me a preapproval letter. Since we were moving from out of state to new Hampshire and even though we were not asking for a mortgage from Blue Water, Chad went out of his way to describe what we could expect at closing on a property in NH. During the search process, I sought Chad's advice several time and he gave it freely. Subsequently, the larger national bank mortgage fell through for technical reasons. We were informed of this only 1 week before closing and we had to scrape up the mortgage money by borrowing against the equity in our brokerage account. After closing, we went back to Blue Water for a cash out mortgage to repay our brokerage loan. I found that Blue Water both were very professional and kept us informed throughout the process. Chad and Ann worked with us and we closed in a very short time, saving us interest payments on the equity loan. We were able to close at a lower rate than we expected. It was truly a pleasure working with both Chad and Ann and we were much more comfortable dealing a company that was more aware of the local real estate market in NH. Cudos to Blue Water Mortgage.

I am building a large shed/workshop and needed electricity in it. Ken returned my call within a…read morefew hours of making it and arranged to come out and give me a quote. He arrived when promised, is friendly and professional, and had a few suggestions on the job and the related jobs (trench digging, temporary power for the build process, etc). Within 48 hours he had provided an estimate for the entire project and had broken down the phases thereof. After I prepared the trench we scheduled the first working visit. Ken organized the permit with my town, scheduled the inspection (of the underground conduit), and the conduit (with temporary power running through it) is in place. Before he left he gave me some advice on how to proceed with my build in regards to the area where the conduit comes up through the "floor" (yet to be installed) and we agreed upon a timeframe for the followup to put in the panel and circuits. His prices are fair, he is flexible with his schedule, he provides reliable service, and his employees reflect all these values. I am excited to continue working with Dalpe Electric on the next phase of this project and many more to come!
