Giving five stars and a glowing review is simply not enough to express how happy we were to work…read morewith The GreenHouse team. As first time home buyers, we had no idea where to start. We were also out of state which made everything that much more difficult. I'm a big Yelp user and relied on the hundreds of other 5-star reviews to look for a real estate company. I was so impressed with Craig and Jesse from the start. The initial call was SO organized, thorough, and personal. Not only did they give us a incredibly detailed step-by-step guide of the buyer's process, but also spent the time to learn more about us as people and what we were looking for in a home. I was surprised my how much time and energy was invested before even signing any contracts with them. After meeting with a few different teams, we chose the GreenHouse Group and 100% stand by our decision! Communication was consistently strong and we were always in contact with someone/the entire team along the way. We worked with Lori & Alexa who also helped us navigate documents and important deadlines. The GreenHouse Group has a well-designed platform to track the home buying process--making it easy to see deadlines and to-dos. We worked with Craig for our Kick-Off Tour. The GHG evaluation system for homes captured everything important to consider when purchasing a home and we learned so much about what to look for when checking out a home. Craig was straight-up, incredibly knowledgable, and clearly looking out for our best interest. He took us to see quite a number of homes that day and even had snacks and waters to keep us going! Unexpectedly, and uncommonly, we found a home from that weekend's trip we wanted to put an offer on. Craig jumped right in and guided us through the 'make-an-offer' process. He worked incredibly hard to negotiate on our behalf and was able to coordinate inspections and video walk-throughs for us when we couldn't be physically present. We were always promptly and transparently well-informed and advised. We never felt pressured or persuaded to make any decisions. Craig and the GHG team presented the facts and gave recommendations based on 20+ years of company experience--always looking out for our best interest. They were 'real' and weren't out to "sell us" on anything. Even during the rent-back process, the team coordinated with the other realtor to work with the sellers on transitions and key dates. It was super fun when Jesse and Lori were already at the house when we arrived to pick up our keys--what a thoughtful surprise! To top it off, they came with a whole container of new home goodies and essentials for us to use while we settled in (and even had some for our dog!) The care box was super useful, especially when we didn't have any of our kitchen items yet! Even after the sale and getting our keys, the GHG team is still there to answer your questions and help you out--including a list of recommended contractors and other services you might need when moving into a new home. I'm sure I am forgetting something here, but needless to say, we 10/10 recommend the GreenHouse Group to anyone looking to buy (or sell!) a home. We have no regrets and could not have asked for a better team. Thank you GHG!

Selling a home is stressful (especially for someone like me!) but Lori and Jesse made the whole…read moreprocess feel surprisingly easy. They were always available to answer questions, kept me informed every step of the way and made sure I knew what to expect throughout the process. Their advice on pricing and negotiations was spot on, and everything moved smoothly from getting my house ready to list all the way through closing. I also want to give a shoutout to their TC, Alexa. She kept everything organized behind the scenes, was always responsive and helpful, and made sure nothing slipped through the cracks. I have no doubt that her attention to detail played a big part in helping us close on time. Thank you to Lori, Alexa and Jesse in making this process feel smooth and manageable! If you're looking for a knowledgeable, responsive team to help sell your home, this is your team!

Kimberly and Barb, her assistant, were absolutely the most dedicated real estate professionals I've ever known, AND we've moved 7 times, so I know! My husband and I were moving across country this time, so there was a lot involved in attention, timing, negotiating, and yes, hand-holding. She was knowledgeable, wise, and always had our backs. We immediately had multiple offers and a final price of thousands above listing price. The results spoke for themselves: our beloved home was sold in just 6 days to the best buyer. We will alwyas be gratefulto Kimberly for all she did!

I have brought multiple maintaince issues up with management and they ignore it. I am also blocked in my paid parking space at least once a week, and the manager refuses to even try to find a solution. The manager results to disrespect and child like 'come back' phrases whenever you adress an issue. It's like dealing with children running the place you live at. Half of the rooms are infested with German cockroaches and have been since the day I moved in. The previous manager, Kenneth, was fantanstic and did what he could to keep everyone happy. The new manager, Regina, has no clue how to run a business or handle human conflicts/interactions. There's a lot more inconveniences, but figure this should be enough of a fair warning. If I were you, I'd steer clear of this place and search elsewhere.

I had the full appraisal report in less than 48 hours. He was easy to reach by text and email and even took the time to thoroughly go over the report with me by phone. The analysis was comprehensive, with clear data-backed insights that gave me full confidence in the valuation. Overall a great experience from start to finish and I would gladly use him again as an appraiser. He is also a realtor and I would not hesitate to use him to represent me as well!

We lived in a Mercer rented property for a little over a year. Overall I would say that the…read moreexperience was positive. Communication could sometimes be a little slow when they were busy but we never had any issues otherwise. Why I love them: We were renters for about 10 years and would meticulously clean our place each time we moved. No matter what we were always hit with a super high cleaning fee. Most property management companies put it in the fine print that this cleaning fee will be taken out of your security deposit regardless of the condition of your place. This was the first time we vacated a property and were charged a lite cleaning fee of $150 - this is how it should be done!! We didn't feel taken advantage of at all. Additionally, we broke our lease early and they were able to find someone else to take it over within 2 months... during Covid lockdowns. Pretty impressive considering the environment.

I would stay away from this company.

There are a lot of issues with this place…read more The dryers will either charge you without going once, barely dry the clothes, or destroy patterns, zippers, and leave large orange marks on your favorite clothes. Not to mention that the small, cramped, and warm laundry room is rarely cleaned and has no ventilation. the ventilation system in the bathrooms connects to each of your neighbors. So if someone is lighting up, your bathroom will wreak. The sink water pressure is uncomfortably low as well. There are major insect problems. flies on the south end of the building, termites on the north end. I typically do not enter through the front side of the building because the dumpster and trashcans aligning the south end are typically swarming with flies. These guys keep putting up self advertisement banners along the sides of the building that are not fastened well enough, causing them to disconnect and slam against windows, absolutely terrifying. The new flags along the parking lot entrance create the loudest flapping sounds. This place used to be cheap, but with the new rent increases it is cheaper to rent a house with friends and have a single room than to split the "master" room, which is only 10 square feet bigger than the other rooms

There are cockroaches, flies, and silverfish everywhere. The students living there throw trash in the hallways and refuse to use the dumpster. They are loud almost every night. They throw glass and thrash into the courtyard during parties. I've seen the inside of some other apartments with black floors from dirt and skateboards and the walls have been tagged up with spray paint. This place is expensive. Close to $900 for a single room plus electricity. They provide water, cable, and internet. Maintenance does what they can to keep up with the neglectful fraternity guys. The elevators are constantly breaking down and if you're unfortunate like me to have moved in during a weekend the elevators were down, you use the stairs OUTSIDE the complex. Also, this building is NOT handicap accessible if the elevators are down. Hallways always smell of weed, booze, trash, body odor or the typical cocktail of all 4. Tandem parking; always a negative. If you happen to have two cars, you pay an additional $60 each month for an extra parking space that isn't adjacent to your first spot. Another note about the garage parking: I'm a car guy, I take very good care of my car. Some of the overhead sewage pipes in the garage burst one weekend and my car was directly under the spill. Although management gave me $50 to get a basic detail, the waste had sat there for 4 days before it was cleaned and it wasn't cleaned thoroughly. There is still residue on the floor. After hours maintenance is extremely rude. One night, a few months ago, someone pulled the fire alarm and the entire building was subject to flooding from the sprinklers. I called the after hours service to notify them and the person I spoke with was the same miserable, old woman who hates her life. No compassion. The floors and walls were completely destroyed by the sprinklers and took almost a month to be repaired. I could go on and on about the bad experiences I've had here only to make the point: DO NOT LIVE HERE.

The maintenance man, Aaron, has been very friendly and helpful when something needs to be fixed. The reason I'm actually writing this Yelp is mainly because I want to bring to the attention of the managers of Piedra Del Sol an issue with the regulations. I live in an apartment with 3 other girls and we all have cars. If you were to take a look at the parking structure on any given day, you'd notice all the available spots. Part of the reason could be the high cost of having underground parking, which is also very convenient. My issue is that I was not permitted to purchase a parking spot in the garage because my two other roommates already purchased a tandem spot. Let me remind you that there are at least 15 spots available, but management doesn't want to offer them to more than 2 people per apartment, which is an unintelligent business approach. This is a first-come-first-served garage, and I got in line to purchase a spot one of the first days these spots were open. As of right now, you are losing a resident for next year (I can't break my contract any sooner) and most importantly, I will be warning future students not to choose Piedra del Sol when they're looking for apartments.

Our glass sliding door has had a giant hole in it the entire time living here because the building shifted and maintenance doesn't ever come to fix anything. I have called and left messages for about 6 months, and they have come once to look at it, take measurements, and probably threw out those notes once they left. If you plan on receiving anything in the mail, don't expect to receive it when it arrives because the lazy people that work here rarely get the mail slips to you in a timely fashion. My package slips usually get in my mailbox about a week after the package has arrived. Once you get the slip in the mailbox to get your package from the lounge during the hours they are open, you are going to have to wait several days to get it because of course they only come for maybe ten minutes a day. Honestly, I hope these people don't get paid for working here, they are worthless. I have never written a bad review, or any review for that matter, but I really hope this helps someone in their decision to live elsewhere. If I had the money to pay about $200 more a month, I would do so in a heartbeat. If you do choose to live in Piedra......goodluck, you will need it.
