Working with Maple Leaf has been a pleasure, particularly thanks to our property manager Katie!…read more From the start, Katie's eye for quality and completeness was very helpful in getting the home in great shape. She unfailingly followed up and kept track of every detail and project, coordinating across multiple contractors and the wrap-up and move out we were doing. Her communicativeness and responsiveness has been enormously helpful, including when it came time for leasing and move-in. Katie kept everything on track, and went above and beyond with a day packed with tours. Maple Leaf and Katie's professionalism and care really shine through - would recommend working with them!

Katie Mandell is the most outstanding property manager I have ever had the pleasure of working…read morewith. She took over our property at a time when we were dealing with a downed tree after windstorms, and truly changed our lives for the better. She helped us to get the tree delt with, and another dangerous tree taken down so we wouldn't have this problem again. Our prior manager had been complacent, slow, and unhelpful. Katie is the exact opposite. She is prompt to respond, follows up on issues until they are resolved, and has a genuine care for the lives of her renters. She is always warm, friendly, and gets the job done! Maintaining our gutters and landscaping, ensuring seamless lease renewal, and replacing our fridge the same week that it broke are just a few examples of ways she has helped take care of us. She is absolutely an asset to the Maple Leaf Management team, and we feel so lucky to have her.

Laura was an amazing landlady while she owned the building. The building has been through a lot…read moresince then and the new building/property management is atrocious! There are some things they do very well- such as responding promptly to maintenance requests. However, they are terrible at proactive maintenance, listening to tenants, and providing written notice when work is going to be done around the building or living spaces. Laura would provide a whole month of notice before she did anything and regularly kept up the building in excellent condition with a keen mind for the well-being of her tenants. It is regrettable that the Sagamore is now run by a corporate entity with very little regard for the people who live in the building. Since new management has taken over, I have FREQUENTLY felt that my belongings and living conditions are NOT safe and that I have to be vigilant about what is happening in and around my building. I like the area I live in but I would relocate somewhere that treats its tenants more like people and less like cash cows if I had the money right now.

Laura, the landlord, was very attentive and responds quickly to the very few maintenance requests that came up during our lease. The unit was well maintained and was very clean when we moved in. Other building residents were very nice and we never had any issues with noise. The location is amazing with Green Lake, great restaurants and all the grocery store options nearby (Trader Joe's, PCC, Whole foods, Safeway..!) Several bus stop options and the rooftop space is wonderful as well. I would've loved to stay longer if I didn't have to relocate for work.

I connected with Michael for a consult on vaulting a ceiling in a potential house we were…read moreconsidering to buy. The contractors we spoke with needed input from a structural engineer, and Michael was able to do a quick summary of structural ramifications and structural redlines of the rough floor plan. I was extremely impressed by his responsiveness, professionalism, and quality of work even for this small ask. He charges by the hour and I was more than happy to pay for his time, but he provided the detailed summary with just the floor plan and didn't even ask for payment in the end as we were just looking for an estimate for cost of construction. I would recommend Michael to anyone seeking a structural engineer, and would be happy to hire him in the future if I need his services again.

His whole house assessment showed me all the things I should focus on and all the things I shouldn't - like spending $5000 insulating a crawl space that didn't need insulating. If you are looking at saving money and you're thinking about doing things like replacing your furnace, insulating, or making other energy related upgrades - do yourself a favor and call Simplicity Home Energy.

We were very happy to find Simplicity Home Energy as truly independent auditors who care about their work and aren't trying to sell anything, but rather truly inform the homeowner. Bob was quick to respond and coordinate and Zak came out to do a very thorough assessment. We got confirmation that our house is actually very tightly sealed, which explained some things we'd been experiencing. It was great to have such a thorough understanding of the state of our house, and also helped us prioritize future home improvements. Some things we'd been wondering about weren't actually problems, and others we hadn't know about were more important for future fixes. It's great to have this knowledge as a basis for any future home projects. I think the report that Simplicity Home Energy provides would be helpful to inform any homeowner and is very, very worth it! Highly recommended.

Firstly, there were MANY BUGS if you love bugs, ants, and coach roaches then sure live here. On top of that there was mold as well and the carpet had stains when we moved in. My roommates and I asked for them to fix it, we sent in work orders! Never fixed it. Considering the fact tenants have to pay for a "cleaning fee" at the beginning of rental, there should NOT be mold, bug infestations, or stains in the apartment complex! The only great thing was the door security code.
