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.

However, we had long delays (sometimes months) getting maintenance done and she has allowed serious soil erosion to continue on her lakeside property. One recessed light in the main living area she refused to have fixed because she said she would have to hire an electrician and that would cost her several hundred dollars. We were paying $3000/mo in rent! When we moved out per our lease agreement, she claimed we had done "damage" to the tune of $1,400.00 and withheld that amount from our deposits. We took her to Conciliation Court (Small Claims) and won. She appealed so we went to District Court and we prevailed there as well. The whole legal process took over a year. We really liked the house we rented from her, but the property management was awful - especially for high-end properties.

Idk if she felt intimidated by my husband and I having arm forces background, or because we said we were conservative. She pushed us to give her documents to approve us and once she received everything she pulled the rug out from under us. We all have a past and we were very upfront and honest with her before we tour about debt that was payed off years ago. Yet it felt like this was used against us, which is unfair and unprofessional. I would not recommend for families. We were excited and went above and beyond to make this work & she dragged us through the mud not caring about how chaotic she was coming across. We even sent her a screenshot proving that we would be able to move in with the time she wanted residents to occupied the house in Waconia and I guess it wasn't enough.. truly blindsided.

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.

We rented a property from Verde Real Estate in south Minneapolis from the summer of 2021 to the…read moresummer of 2023. Things were rocky from the start when we were doing our pre-move in checklist and found that the bathroom window was broken. It would not slide up and down and the top of the inner window pane would fall forwards into the apartment if it was not locked to the upper pane. We were told it would not be fixed and we were just stuck without a working bathroom window for the two years we were there. The first winter we spent there had a 2-3 month span with no snow removal, but by the time they finally hired someone to do the snow removal there was nothing to be done about the inches thick sheet of ice that covered the small, four car parking lot, driveway, and small amount of sidewalk/walkway to the front door. The second winter was much of the same. Though they technically had snow removal people hired, they did a poor job and we wound up with a sheet of ice for a parking lot and driveway again. It was impossible to take the garbage out to the cans without risking slipping and falling and forget even bringing the cans to the curb for pickup because they were literally frozen to the ground because the snow removal crew would just stack the snow and ice up around the cans. On two separate occasions in the two years, they scheduled maintenance to come to our apartment to fix things that we had not asked for and we were not informed of. They were items required by inspectors to be fixed, but they never communicated a time or day to stop by and take care of it. Luckily I worked from home and was there to have them explain the situation to me because I would have been livid if they had gone into our apartment without permission or advanced notice. The oven was lifted up on wood blocks so the surface was even with the countertops and the fridge was in a cubby with a wooden lip in the floor directly in front of it. This made it impossible to ever clean around or behind the appliances and frankly I don't think those areas have ever been cleaned judging by the fact that the one time we were having issues with the fridge the maintenance worker showed up and couldn't remove it, so told us we were just going to have to deal with the issues. During our move out inspection, the employee present was impressed with how thoroughly we had cleaned the place and even complimented how clean the floors were. This made us more than a little surprised when we were missing $450 from our security deposit for "cat urine smells." Our cat is still fairly young and has never had issues peeing outside of the litter box. More importantly, the two places where this smell was reported were the dining room closet and the smaller bedroom, both areas which the cat was specifically locked out of. We bought and installed a temporary gate to keep the cat out of the bedroom and the dining room closet was so full of stuff that she couldn't have gotten in there to pee even if she tried. Despite reaching out and pointing out the fact that the employee doing the move out inspection said there were no issues (and being the middle of the summer with no A/C in that building, if there was a smell it would have been noticeable) we were not able to get a refund on this wrongful charge. There were a myriad of other issues, some that we brought up and some we did not deem worth the effort of trying to get them to fix. I would absolutely avoid this company in the future.

After interviewing several property management companies and doing our research, we chose Sharper…read moreManagement as our partner to manage our HOA. Not only did they meet our requirements, but they had the systems and people in place to deliver first-rate service. A big factor in our decision to go with Sharper Management was Steven Smith. Steven had been our property manager when he was with a previous company that we had used. Our experience with him was so positive that teaming with Steven again at Sharper was icing on the cake. We know what that property management can be a difficult and sometimes thankless job, but Steven is easily accessible, responsive, knowledgeable, and professional. We rely on him for advice and guidance to help us manage our Association, develop realistic budgets and reserves, and communicate with owners as needed. We know that you can't please everyone, but Steven has done right by us. If you are looking for a new property management company, you should talk to Steven Smith and Sharper Management.

My experience with Sharper Management has left me deeply concerned about transparency,…read moreaccountability, and how our association's money has been managed. During my time serving on our 32-home association's Board, I began asking questions about a roughly $300,000 loan taken out during a previous Board's tenure. I was not on the Board when the loan was approved, so I cannot claim to know everything that happened at the time. What I do know is that I have repeatedly asked for documentation showing where that money went--including information concerning the projects, contractors, expenditures, approvals, and work that was performed. Despite asking multiple times, I have not been provided with the documentation I have requested. That is extremely concerning to me. When homeowners collectively take on approximately $300,000 in debt, there should be a clear paper trail showing how those funds were spent and what the association received in return. Homeowners should not have to repeatedly ask for basic financial and project information concerning hundreds of thousands of dollars. The situation is even more troubling because there have been significant concerns about the quality of work performed during that period. Without the underlying records, homeowners have no meaningful way to evaluate whether the money was spent appropriately or whether the work and costs were properly overseen. My more recent experiences with Sharper Management have only increased my concerns. I have dealt with former manager Miguel, current manager Janelle, and Client Care representative Josh, and I have repeatedly found myself having to push for answers regarding contractors, maintenance, budgets, insurance, tree work, the shared driveway, and other significant expenses. I believe an HOA management company should provide strong oversight and help protect homeowners' investments. It should encourage Board members to ask questions, scrutinize contractor recommendations, demand documentation, and make sure homeowners' money is being spent responsibly. Instead, my experience has been that legitimate questions can be met with resistance, incomplete answers, or simply no satisfactory answer at all. I cannot say what happened to every dollar of the $300,000 because Sharper has not provided me with the documentation I have repeatedly requested. I also cannot speculate about the motivations of previous Board members or make accusations about anyone being paid to remain silent without evidence. But I can say this: After repeatedly asking for documentation concerning a $300,000 association loan and not receiving it, I have serious concerns about the level of transparency and accountability provided to our community. Homeowners deserve to know where their money went. I would strongly encourage any HOA considering Sharper Management to ask very specific questions about financial records, project documentation, contractor selection, competitive bidding, project oversight, and how the company responds when Board members demand answers. This review represents my personal experience and opinions and is not intended to represent the official position of our association or its Board.

Also his organization skills and attention to detail were exceptional and something we look for in our real estate professional. He also provided a game plan (professional photos, stager, pre-inspection, etc.) for selling our home and getting the best price. We were lucky enough to sell our house before it went on the market, even without the photos or stager but this is also where Paul excels in his field. He has contacts with his silent seller program and brought us a perspective buyer who bought our home on the spot. He also helped us in our home search and was always "thinking outside the box" in order to find every option available. In the end we decided to build since that provided everything we were looking for in our next home, but Paul added a service there too. With his knowledge of future developments, we had known about this upcoming development a year before it began and were able to watch it and get in to our dream home right away in the building process, which also in turn saved us money.
