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.

We can't say enough about Billy Pauling and Mike Taylor of Pauling Homes. They were able to sell…read moreour home in the dead of winter in two weeks. They also found our new home so that we could co-ordinate our closings. We were leaving our home of 45 years with all its memories so the transition was a little painful.

We highly recommend this amazing team

Billy took the time to listen to our needs, ask us about our future plans, and answer every one of our questions. They were in constant communication and made sure that we felt informed and confident in making the best decisions for our family. The combination of integrity, grace, and real estate intelligence in this team is unparalleled. This paired with Billy's deep knowledge and network in the Minnesota real estate community made for the dream team! We felt cared for (and about) at every turn. The entire experience was a joy!

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.

HAVING A PROPERTY MANAGER SHOULD MAKE THINGS EASIER. NOT DIFFICULT!…read more Just to give you a feel for what it's like when you have issues that need to urgently be resolved. - No one answers call directly. Always goes to a voicemail system. Sometimes they return calls. They have never called me back on the same day. - They prefer you put urgent work items on to a "work order dashboard" which was never addressed to me in the same day either. - I put in a work order a week ago for an elevator communications alarm a week ago. It's still alarming. Supposedly a guy was to come a day ago, then got moved to tomorrow. Cities management has it marked as completed even thought it's not! And the workman has already moved the days once. By saying the work prder is complete, we can't follow up to let them know if there are other issues. OUR ELEVATOR COMMS ALARM WILL HAVE GONE OFF CONSTANTLY FOR 8 DAYS (If we are lucky enough cities management to get a guy to come this time) !!! - Their response to a Yelp comment will likely be faster. Which shows you their priorities. Resolving issues or damage control. And even their responses are to an info@ email address. - AND ITS A REVOLVING DOOR OF EMPLOYEES. We've had countless contacts leave. One being one of the most inept people I've ever encountered. - I can't emphasize how awful this experience has been.

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. If that hadn't happened, I'm convinced it would still be there today. Sadly, this was only the beginning of our terrible experience with this company.

While they successfully rented my property for 5 years, when my renters moved out without notice,…read moreit took them over 2 weeks to realize this. Two weeks that my property was unattended. 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)
