Currently service has been out going on 5 days, no information from KPE... Atrocious communication; some random answering service says 'they are working diligently to solve the problem' Cannot get someone who actually works @ office or tech support to answer the phone or contact. No Responses to emails for several days. No posting on their SocMed updating to the outage; No text or call to customers; No message on their website....Horridly unprofessional and disturbingly pathetic way to operate a business.

Mikael installed a home security system in our home. It looks so good and hasn't had any issues…read more I'm able to arm my home and lock my door even after I've left, or quickly turn it off if someone needs to go in. I was able to set my doors to beep when people go in and out which is perfect with kids. The video camera has privacy mode that you can set to turn off when you set your alarm and it will start to record when it hears sounds or sees motion so it's easy to see activity without scanning through a bunch of footage. Once we let the alarm go off for too long when opening a door and the kids couldn't put the code in and the monitoring company called to make sure we were ok. Thanks to Empire Security for letting me sleep comfortably knowing my family is safe, and having reliable equipment.

He…read morefollowed up the next day by installing the hard drive and the security recorder was now operational. He did not try to sell me a new security system to replace the 'major brand' 10 year old security system. Since he took an interest in fixing my problem and was not pushy in replacing my alram security system, I asked him questions about his alarm security system, hardware, and monitoring services. As a result, he was out the following week replacing my 10 year old (major brand) Security Monitoring System. Very impressed with the hardware, his installation, and was proficient in answering all my questions. Jon installed our system and we've been pleased with the result. He provides excellent support to assure you understand your new security and is available to answer questions. Thanks Jon for your excellent service and interest in our security.

TLDR Richard has been the perfect realtor, highly recommended! Great advocate, knowledgeable, never…read morepushy, extremely dedicated to his clients. My wife and I have worked with Richard Chambers from M&D twice. He found an amazing house for us and we recently closed. Richard went above and beyond at every step. When searching for a home, he stuck to our parameters, had a detailed knowledge of each candidate, and focused on those with the best value per sq foot. We spent months casually looking at listings online and texting about them. He saw many houses with us, available at a moment's notice and not even remotely pushy--he was more cautious about finding the perfect house than we were! When it was time to make an offer, he was an incredible advocate for us. Richard was extremely diligent about finding any potential defects with the house. He is a fair but firm negotiator, always interacting with the seller in good faith. Richard was an absolute life saver throughout escrow. He had an encyclopedic knowledge of our P&S agreement--this saved us a lot of time and money in the end. He was also a resource every time we ran into trouble with any other aspect of the sale, any time, day or night. We could not have done this without him. Richard went far beyond what could be expected of a realtor. He is a wonderful person and will be my only realtor as long as I live in Texas.
