A few years back, we got sent a confusing letter stating we needed to either pay the rent or leave…read morein two weeks. We were confused because we were 2 days behind on our payment with full intentions to pay it but when my wife called to figure out more information, a guy answered the phone and gleefully said he is going to ruin her life. He went on and on about how he is going to hurt her financially until I took the phone to talk to him myself. He got immediately more hostile. Long story short, I've been absolutely livid about this for years now. I should have known something was wrong when they took my security deposit for a nicer and cheaper apartment then still rented it to someone else and put us in a more expensive and slightly less nice apartment.

In terms of selling, Billy took every step to elevate and position my home above the rest in a competitive yet uncertain market, from staging to photos to pricing to negotiations. Special shout-out to Heather, the Team Manager, who helped me navigate the intricacies and nuances of buying/selling by organizing and coordinating the necessary paperwork, communications, and to-dos on my behalf.

As a resident of a condominium that is managed by Cities Management I wish to take this opportunity…read moreto recognize our Community Association Manager , Peggy Z. Peggy is responsive, knowledgeable, and exhibits a passionate understanding of residents' concerns as she applies the rules and regulations of the HOA. Within the past year there was a new resident who was receiving accusatory comments from residents, and then after receiving a formal advisory message from Peggy, the resident asked me what was going on, why was she being singled out. She had only recently moved in and she was so upset that she wanted to just pack up and move out. I talked to Peggy and asked her to have a conversation with the resident. Peggy did so in a compassionate yet rule-oriented manner. In fact within a few months' that resident ran for and was elected to the Board. On a second occasion within the past two months I personally was aided by Peggy after I filed a petition for waiver to the Board. I felt certain members of the Board were allowing the petition to fail, not on its merits, but because the deadline for a decision was looming and that would mean the petition would be allowed to die without being heard. I contacted Peggy for a ruling. She listened to my reasoning and realized immediately that the Board was indeed required to formally meet to hear the petition, or else risk facing liability. She was able to drill right down through the emotional rhetoric to the heart of the matter, requiring the Board to follow the rules of procedure. I'm not certain how many other properties for which Peggy has responsibility but it is reassuring and fortunate for us that Peggy is our Community Association Manager.

Horrible Experience with this HOA, since we moved in 5 years ago our fees have more than doubled…read moreyet I think they maybe plowed twice this winter?! We literally just gave up and started shoveling our own driveway!! On top of that we had an extra assessment done that I don't even remember voting on or getting paperwork on... no idea what was done because nothing ever was...then asked to pay an additional amount we couldn't afford on top of the increased HOA fee. So we paid what we could and the rest was sent to collections where they are now making us pay way more and pay other attorneys fees. All they care about is money, yet they do nothing...I still have no clue what the extra payment was for! Our association doesn't even have a pool or park..so why do our fees keep increasing. They couldn't even come remove bees that were in our siding and told us that's our responsibility!! Unreal.

Mr. Mark Gettinger helped me in finding a great deal in Minnesota (I am living in the West Coast)…read more He also explained me in detail about the required process and paper work and prepared an offer that helped in competing with other multiple buyers and getting a right price for my new condo purchase. 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.

Worst experience of our lives! I would give it ZERO stars if possible…read more In sum: sleazy, money-hungry, slumlord. Take your money and time elsewhere...they rent disasters, not homes. The attached photo is of the trash from the garage left by the previous tenant. It was only removed after Gerenza was cited by the City of Minneapolis.

I received an abatement order from the city, as well as it being investigated for a potential abandonment situation. Emails and phone calls were not returned. Work that I requested being done after the tenants left was not arranged. I then had to remit payment myself, as Gerenza Properties failed to do so. After being promised that I would received the security deposit to cover the payments, I had to file an insurance claim against Gerenza Properties when I hadn't received it (or any communication) a month later. Be aware that there is currently only 1 part time staff member at Gerenza Properties, and the owner/president no longer lives in Minnesota. So if you are hoping for a hands on approach, look elsewhere. (March 6, 2017)
