What actually was written in the response I received 5 months ago was:…read more Hi Heike, I realize that your review is from quite some time ago, however we don't do much interaction on yelp so unfortunately it went unnoticed by us. I have directly asked all of our existing agents (36 in total) if they dealt with you or your significant other during your apartment search back in 2012 and nobody has any recollection of working with you or receiving a message from you, etc. I am thinking you may have dealt with an agent that no longer works with us for whatever reason or maybe left a message with someone we had temporarily filling in during summer hours. By chance, do you remember who you may have spoken with? I know this is from a long time ago, but I would like to get to the bottom of this. We take great pride in helping people sell, buy and rent and we truly hate that you had such a bad experience with us. Thanks, Janine I didn't respond at the time, not being sure of the name of the person with whom I interacted and deciding that it's actually not my job to investigate. The above is pretty different from telling me that you do not believe I ever interacted with your company. I insist that it was, in fact your company, and reject your claim that I am mistaken in my identification of the issue. If the person with whom my now-husband and I interacted was the owner at that time, then so be it. My husband and I were treated in the aforementioned manner by a male representative of this company, and I wanted to let renters looking for apartments to know that this company was less than interested in helping us. It appears that you have since that time garnered some very positive reviews, and I am glad for that. However, my experience and my opinion still stand.

This was a long time coming!…read more It's hard to put to words how incredibly thankful I am for Fred's exceptional support throughout this journey. From the very beginning, Fred not only provided expert guidance, and education, but also brough a level of humor and resilience that kept me grounded through an unknown process. His dedication to helping me find my home, paired with his unwavering patience and sound judgement, means everything to me. I truly don't believe I could have navigated this experience without him. Every person I encountered, from the home inspection team to the title company, to the law office, was outstanding. Their professionalism and partnership made this entire experience smoother than I ever imagined, even with the bumps in the road that come with all major processes like finding a home. You can tell the caliber of a person by the people they surround themselves with, and Fred's team, as well as his external partners are a direct reflection of his passion, dedication, and genuine care for his clients. It also speaks volumes about Fred's character, as well as the trust and respect he has built and garnered with those he works with. Fred went above and beyond in every single area of this process and was a steady source of calm, care, and encouragement at every turn. He made sure I was well informed and supported- turning a daunting journey into one filled with hope and possibility. I am SO deeply appreciative of his flexibility, and his commitment to his craft and purpose. Fred, Thank you. Words aren't enough to express how grateful I am for everything you did to support me in reaching this incredible milestone and making the dream I've carried in my heart for three decades, a reality.

I am really, really good at spotting fake Yelp reviews, so when I was looking for a broker, I…read morebasically threw out any company where the majority of the positive reviews were obviously fake. This left me with VERY few options at the time, one of which was Realty Collective. I didn't want to use them at first, just because it seemed like their area of interest was an area we can't afford. At first, we searched on our own, but after getting screwed by landlords a few times, I said "screw this" and contacted some brokers. Some were terrible (protip: if I ask to view a specific place and you refuse to give me the address, you're clearly a baiting-and-switching douche), some were mediocre, and then there's Realty Collective. The only thing I hate is their website: the search feature is kinda borked and doesn't show the right results, and the contact form is weird--you don't really know if you're just contacting in general or about a specific place. So I sent in an email about one place, didn't hear back for a day or two, figured it was off the market. But first thing Monday morning, I got an email from the lovely Maris James, who offered us an even cooler place at a great price. I explained that we were on a tight budget because, while I have two roommates, they're both grad students and I don't want to rely on them for a huge chunk of the rent in case anything happened. I work full-time, and so I wanted to only look at apartments that (a) would fit three people and a yappy little dog, and (b) would be affordable on my salary. Sounds bloody impossible, right? A lot of people complain about feeling rushed by brokers, and that's their right, but honestly, I love it. I *hate* moving, so I want to just sort of rip off the band-aid as fast as possible. I show up with all my paperwork in hand and seriously would sign a lease in 15 minutes if I could get away with it. I also have very low standards--if it's not actively on fire, I'm like "I'll take it!" I know this can be really frustrating to brokers just because I have no real idea of what I want and I don't care, but I feel like Maris did an amazing job figuring out what we liked about the place we had originally asked about and basically matching it and, in our case, even making it better. She was also totally understanding of my desire to Get Shit Done, and so we viewed the place and signed the lease (with $100 off the rent!) on the same day. As a bonus, she mentioned that she had lived in two different buildings run by this same management company, so we knew almost exactly what we were getting into in terms of expectations. (And they've been awesome--living here has been an absolute pleasure so far.) They moved fast, but we never felt pressured, which is awesome. Maris also did an awesome job keeping in touch with us throughout the process, and was very helpful every step of the way. The fees ain't cheap, but I will definitely get in touch with them in the future if we ever move again (god I hope not).

It has been an absolute joy working with Sonia as first time homebuyers. From the beginning of this…read moreprocess, Sonia took the time to get to know our family to ensure she was helping us find the home that fit not only our needs, but also our wants. She held our hand as we began our search, taking the time to explain every step so we could set appropriate expectations, and anticipate what was around the corner. During the offer process, she gave us open and honest feedback to help us create the strongest bid our family felt comfortable with, and truly was our champion. It is all thanks to Sonia that our family closed on our dream home last week! Sonia is kind, warm, genuine and compassionate. She is dedicated to her clients, and truly finds joy helping them find their space. You can tell through every interaction she has. We were incredibly lucky to have Sonia by our sides, and would highly recommend her to anyone about to embark on this journey. Thank you for everything Sonia, you are amazing!

I recently moved into 34 Eden Lane in Whippany. I came…read morefrom a townhome in Madison. I was a bit concerned about the transition from a multi level, private home to an apartment complex, but I am here to say that I love it! From the initial tour through move-in, the experience has been excellent. The onsite manager is a pleasure to work with- she has been responsive, kind and professional. The building is relatively new and has well maintained, luxury amenities such as a beautiful seasonal pool, gym, club house, outdoor gathering space and pet spa. The aesthetic is modern and sleek. It is immaculately clean. There is an onsite maintenance team. I have not yet had to request services, but I can already see that they are professional, prompt and competent. Having a spacious, single floor unit is a nice change- so easy to clean. All units have a modern vibe with glossy white and wood tone kitchens, huge windows and very nice, modern window blinds. I would say that window treatments are not necessary unless you want bedroom black out blinds. The units have high end amenities including Whirlpool washers and dryers, tankless water heaters, Pella windows and Moen bath hardware. I read reviews before making a decision. Some tenants complained about noise between apartments. I can only speak for my experience, but it has been quiet. I am on the third floor-there is someone above me and I can sometimes hear footsteps, but this is apartment living and I am not at all bothered by that. No noise at all from the unit below me. The hallway vibe is peaceful and quiet. The building is serviced by 3 elevators- one close to the covered parking garage, one from the lobby and another leading down to the move-in, recycling and trash areas. Getting rid of garbage has never been so easy- drop smaller bags down from the floor's garbage room or take larger items directly down to the large bins. Movers and furniture delivery services have access to this elevator as well- I have had no problems fitting larger pieces into the elevator. Lastly, the building size is ideal. I looked at other rentals that had hundreds of units to only 1 pool or gym. With 81 units, we don't have that issue here thankfully. The online photos don't really do the units justice. This really is very nice.
