I recently met with Katie Mandell, a property manager with Maple Leaf, to view a townhome in…read moreSeattle. She was responsive and accommodating while scheduling the viewing. When we toured the unit, she was very knowledgeable about the property and its history, and answered all my questions regarding the rental terms and application process. Katie was extremely kind, personable, and professional, and gave me the strong sense that she and the company she represents are trustworthy and sincere. The townhome was great, but unfortunately, another applicant applied for the unit the night before we met, so the timing didn't work out. After we toured the property, Katie was kind enough to show me another home nearby, and went above and beyond, by searching for other properties in the area managed by Maple Leaf. I decided to not move at this time, but am grateful for all of Katie's help and hope to work with her and Maple Leaf Property Management in the future.

When I moved in I told them there was a hole in the outside wall, near the kitchen window. For the next 1.5 years I told them and they had their own inspectors take pictures of it. Despite this, they only made a move to fix it once I reported them to the city. The whole time I lived there I was told that all of my things molding was my fault (including 2 beds!). I was told to leave my cupboard doors and drawers open to prevent mildew in the kitchen. The dehumidifier I requested would fill up at the end of each day. When they finally opened the wall to fix the hole, there was black/wet insulation and they had to replace half of the kitchen's 2x4's, and the workers found another hole with earth worms living in the kitchen under the dishwasher. Despite having 5 different workers out to deal with the hole and earth worms, this was never fixed by the time I moved out. And then, 2 weeks before I moved out there was water dripping out of the bathroom ceiling fan. They opened it up to find a leak that had to be going on for at least a year because the insulation was again black and the wood was moldy. They did not fix this before I moved out. I just had to live with a hole in the ceiling above the shower... Then they illegally withheld $750 from my deposit. They didn't follow the law by detailing the reasons for withholding this amount. They simply printed out a screenshot of text messages with their handyman giving an estimate on two projects. Thankfully I was able to recover the deposit since they do not know the law or how to do their jobs. There is so much more, but this should suffice as a warning. Lastly, their own employees bad mouth each other. Highly unprofessional and shows the do not even follow basic respect standards. Disgusting, gaslighting, lying, and incompetent company. Steer clear!

When maintenance issues arise, he addresses them promptly and professionally, never leaving anything unresolved.

To be transparent, we are property owners, so this review is from the owner's point of view. Having said that, he's been proactive in making sure the rental house is in a good shape, including regular annual maintenance. This is to ensure tenants get what they pay for. One thing David really stands out is his responsiveness and timely communications. Tips: believe it or not, best way to contact him is via email. He'll call me as soon as he's available whenever I ask him to call me via email. His email responses are mostly cryptic and straight to the point, and some folks may take that differently. But for us, we like his cut-to-the-chase, no-nonsense style. Believe us, we have had a different property manager before, and he may seem courteous, but his responsiveness and professionalism are not even close to David's.

I started working with AvenueOne for the last two years, initially with one house, and now I have a…read moresecond one managed by them. Before choosing AvenueOne, I had conversations with 3-4 other companies and asked similar questions to calibrate my expectations and have a comparative view of options. AvenueOne emerged as the winner for me, and specifically, Julie was influential in my decision. She is a great person to work with, reasonable, timely in her communications, and quite experienced in this field. Secondly, Monique was responsible for handling tenant screening and lease management, etc. Brianna is the person actually handling day-to-day operations as my property manager. She is a gem, if you can believe it. She is really understanding and hardworking. Anytime I had something on my mind, dropping a message or email, she was there for me. Lastly, I also had online conversations (via email) with Kathy for portal-related and payment-related questions. Overall, I am highly satisfied with the AvenueOne experience over the last two years. Here are some points I want to highlight about AvenueOne: Responsiveness: The company's response times to maintenance requests and inquiries are generally quite satisfactory. They make an effort to address concerns within a reasonable timeframe, which is appreciated on my end. And this is not only for me as a landlord but also from the tenant's point of view; I can see the same level of responsiveness. Communication Quality: The folks at AvenueOne maintain decent communication with both tenants and landlords through regular updates and reminders. For instance, I receive updates about quarterly audits at the house, along with a detailed report with pictures showing potential issues. Overall, I was mostly happy with the quality of communication. Maintenance and Repairs: For cases where a tenant raises a ticket, AvenueOne has been on top of those tickets and confirms with the tenant. I was also notified about raised issues, and for urgent matters, they immediately jumped on the solution. For others, generally, I was pulled in and asked for approval. I've had mostly positive experiences with the company's maintenance and repair team. I also had a case where the tenant was a bit unreasonable, but to be fair, Brianna, my property manager, did a great job reflecting my opinion and setting reasonable expectations with the tenant, effectively balancing the needs of the tenants with the long-term financial health of the landlord. Property Upkeep: My understanding is that the properties managed by this company are usually well-maintained. They send periodic audit reports about the health of the property, with varying levels of urgency, e.g., things to keep in mind for future maintenance vs. more urgent fixes needed. Each item in the audit report is generally accompanied by pictures. Rent Collection: The rent collection process is generally convenient, mostly automated for the landlord. Each month, you also get a report on the breakdown of costs, if any. Tenant Screening: The company's tenant screening process appears to be decent, which helps maintain a sense of security and community among residents. Their attention to this aspect is appreciated. Lease Management: So far, I have only had the experience of lease renewal and not termination or move-outs yet. But overall, it was thoroughly documented, and it was an easy process, all done via DocuSign. Online Portal or App: The company's online portal and mobile app are convenient tools that simplify various processes. I appreciate the portal a lot. Value for Money: Considering the services provided, the management fees charged by the company are reasonable. Overall Satisfaction: Overall, I've had a great experience with AvenueOne. The company is run by great people, all doing their best to reflect the landlord's best interest while being sensitive to tenant needs as well.

I rented from Avenue One (AO for length) for two years and I cannot recommend them to renters who…read moreare looking for consistency or dependability in their landlord. The first clue was in month four after we reached out to our property manager about cutting the 6x6(ish) front yard. We requested AO to amend the first draft of their proposed lease agreement to exclude the yard as a tenant responsibility - they agreed and the lease we signed included no tenant responsibility for the front yard. When they finally hired someone, the third-party company blew a rock that shattered our glass door. Given the glass covered the entire door, it was an extreme safety and security hazard. We shared with AO that someone could easily kick it in and that it could also easily break w/ daily use. They came out quickly to assess and scheduled a third party shortly after. We then made time out of our professional schedules 5 times to get evaluations which AO insisted upon even after given guidance to replace by 2 separate contractors. It took us emailing the owners of AO directly to have them schedule one final evaluation, which ultimately suggested replacement anyway. It took TWO MONTHS to replace our front door, and only after requesting and negotiating were we offered compensation. The front lawn was not mowed again for the last 18+ months of our lease. This was a pattern. AO hired third parties that weren't consistent in communication or performance. Other maintenance requests were put off and ignored. In the case of a separate upstairs bathroom issue, the hired team broke an item in a bedroom and left $20 to help replace it. We received a new property manager after the door incident, and while certainly better than the first, the communication felt clumsy, incorrect, and in need of prompting rather than being proactive. I expect more from a company that chooses to rent to people, as it should be predictable and dependable in exchange for the monthly rent - and we were tenants that paid rent on time, every time. We gave 50+ days of notice before vacating. A new employee from AO who showed properties sent an email at 1pm on Friday to begin the process to list our apartment but mentioned no timeline. Less than 4 hours later, we received a curt email alerting us that an ad "was live" and that they had "3 people waiting to see when they can tour" on Monday afternoon (less than 24 business hrs). After calling and sharing our circumstances, they emailed it was within their rights to show our home w/o consent with 24 hrs notice. My roommate negotiated a few days to return from travel and to secure our valuables. Our caution only came as a result of several encounters where the AO team and their third-party contractors broke things in our house. The request we received to show our home and the striking urgency that AO created is a pattern that shows they do not respect tenants. Pressuring us to respond to them showing the apartment over a month before our lease ends with 4 hours in between emails is not reasonable. It is particularly unreasonable given we had provided our notice to vacate over 2 full weeks before that email exchange (nearly 2 full months before our two-year lease ended). This urgency to move rapidly had never once been AO's approach to maintenance for any concern we had. When the agent ultimately showed our home, they sprayed heavily scented perfumes (they admitted to this later) in our purposefully unscented home, resulting in significant allergies that caused a night of headaches. When it came to the walkthrough, we had to basically beg to be there. The timing of the walkthrough was shifted on the night before the appointment. In an email before the walkthrough, they mentioned extra charges if our unit wasn't in the same condition it was upon move-in. However, we confronted them with language from the Seattle Renters Handbook that if cleaning fees are charged as a fee before move-in, you cannot be charged for cleaning after moving out. They requested we sweep the rooftop deck that was rotting and decaying - yet another ignored maintenance request that they received months before they knew we planned to move out. We did get the full deposit back, but I have to chalk that up to our clean nature and our unrelenting focus on over-communicating and keeping written records. This level of vigilance felt exhausting, but something we had to keep up with AO because they never seemed to have our best interests in mind. Ultimately, I could not in good conscience recommend this company to any renter. AO showed time and time again what they thought of us by providing absolutely minimal service and little respect to us as renters. If you do rent from them, start keeping written records and don't hesitate to contact the Seattle Tenants Union for guidance. The only striking positive was the initial real estate agent, Barb Bender, who was incredible. She showed care, created clarity, and sold us on AO.

At the time when I lived there, there was grocery store on the next block and a tiny connivence store around the corner. At times the neighborhood would get rowdy, but it definitely wasn't all night or every day. Never had management take my money or my belongings. I didn't have any bugs, because I kept my apartment spotless. My only complaint was that people kept pulling the fire alarm which was a bother, but that had more to do with people who threw parties where everyone was drunk. Now that it's been remodeled, I'd love to see what it looks like now.

They WILL take all your money, sanity, and belongings and make you feel crazy for wanting a clean and safe apartment. It would be your worst decision to move here. PLEASE TAKE MY WORD FOR IT!!! I am only giving 1 star because I have to and because the location and old charm are nice. However I was staying here for barely a month when I got BED BUGS!!! I have been going back and forth with them for months on that issue and other hot water and cleaning issues but gotten nowhere and now have to move out. I'll have to hope that the items I bring to my next spot are not infested and will lose items as well. I was hoping this place was going to work out as it seemed to have so much promise but allowing people to live in uninhabitable units and still asking them for rent is ridiculous. I can't wait to leave! UPDATE 1/11/22: I have left and lost many things but am so happy to be free. They treated me with such disrespect just for wanting a livable home. I have also now heard that there are issues with heat in the building and tenants are being encouraged to buy their own heaters and blankets. There also is still the issue of no hot water. Residents were told the issue would take longer than 24 hours to fix and it's not the first time people have had no access to hot water. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE Update March 2022: I moved out in December 2021 and in the spring I was checking my credit and found out that this place was trying to charge me $4500!!! I was never notified of this in any form (letter, call, email, text, in person) and there is no reason I should pay it. UPDATE 5/3/25: I have been disputing this charge with my credit companies for 2 years. But an article by the WSJ called 'Landlords Have a New Hardball Tactic: Tanking Your Credit Score' lets you know EXACTLY what Lowell is doing. They are trying to tank my score with a fake charge that I do not owe! I was literally told by the property manager that he was going to get an eviction notice for me if I did not leave (because I didn't want to live with BED BUGS, NO HEAT, NO HOT WATER, NO FRIDGE, and SLUDGE IN MY SINK!) So of course I packed up everything that I could and left!! Now have to live with that charge on my credit and hope it doesn't affect me. Also have to live without the many items I had to leave behind in that apartment because I could not clean all the bed bugs off of them. Lost family heirlooms and treasured antique furniture I had resorted myself. Please if I can only give one pice of advice for the rest of my life it would be to NEVER MOVE HERE!!!!
