Everything from the application process, to their emergency maintenance line booting us to a useless AI respondent, to their lack of attention to common areas and machinery is just abysmal.

During the two years we lived at Claremont Apartments, the owner and staff at Greenbridge…read moreProperties were always kind, professional, and responsive. Whenever we needed anything addressed, they always led with integrity and trustworthiness. The Claremont is located in a bustling area of SE Portland with lots of eateries and shops within walking distance from home, which we appreciated. The unit we rented had a lot of natural light and storage and was very clean. The landscaping and common areas were also well maintained and we found that the extra storage assigned to our unit suited our needs. We appreciated the online portal Greenbridge utilized to simplify the process for making rent payments and scheduling maintenance. When the time came for us to leave after we bought a home in the area, Greenbridge was stellar in their professionalism and worked with us to schedule the walk-through and return our deposit. Finalizing the transition was very easy. Everyone who works at Greenbridge Properties is excellent at what they do. It was always a pleasure working with them, from receiving the keys to returning them. We also recommend Claremont Apartments for people interested in living in the heart of SE Portland's energizing culture.

If I could only rent from this team every time I'm in Oregon, I would be happy as can be! 10 out of 10, A+ ... no team can beat this one!

I have never been more let down by a business than I was let down by Best Life. Run away from this…read morebusiness. Everything seemed really great BEFORE I had tenants, there was lots of open communication, she explained everything. I felt like we were partners. But then as soon as I had people interested in the house, I had NO INFORMATION given to me about any of the financials. I was not privy to their lease agreement, the amount of the deposit, anything. I was also not given any information about when payments would be disbursed until I reached out and asked. This didn't feel like transparency. I was finally given my first payment 12 days after tenants moved into my house. I received a very small fraction of what they paid on move in. This was expected! Expensive, but expected. What was not expected was the re-key fee that Best Life charged me. I left complete sets of keys, there was no need to charge me the rekey. This shouldn't have been a big deal, but I received nothing but defensive communication in response. No apology. She offered to remove the fee but didn't apologize, when I explained why I was frustrated she FIRED ME. That was it. I would have loved for this to be a great experience with no hidden fees--this business advertises pricing transparency--but instead, on my very first disbursement there was a hidden fee. Disappointing to say the least. ALL I NEEDED WAS AN APOLOGY, INSTEAD SHE FIRED ME. I have no idea what will happen to my poor tenants.

He explained he just happened to stop by his office to pick up some keys and when heard my voicemail he thought to give me a call. David was very professional, offered some wonderful advice, and even shared a few of his personal contacts with me who he felt could help my mother.

David Weislogel was our property manager for about 9 years, at 2 different buildings. That's right,…read morewhen it was time to move, we called up David to find our new place. Fair and thoughtful in dealing with problems, high integrity, compassionate yet has good boundaries. Responsive in emergencies, yet a respectful hands-off approach is the day-to-day standard - which is nice, because it gives the residents space to take ownership. My neighbor and I created a vegetable garden out of an unused part of the property. It was lovely to have the freedom to do that. David also has an excellent sense of humor, which is so helpful when bizarre problems with your neighbors arise. It's been a pleasure to get to know him over the years. PS. Property owners appreciate this quality of service too, because David attracts loyal tenants who stick around and take good care of the property. PPS. There is no "Barker" or "Calkins" anymore, for well over a decade.... it's just Weislogel. Yeah, it's quirky.

Thank you Alissa!

My wife and I were new to Portland…read moreand Alissa and her team were great in advising us on a wholistic real estate investment strategy. As real estate newbies they helped us navigate the complicated PDX market by clearly explaining the process, helping us figure out the right neighborhoods to look in, and more importantly thinking about the long term vs. short term. Essentially, they gave us the tools we needed to understand the market and make educated decisions about buying a home. The team is extremely professional, communicative, and thorough. Interacting with a few other agents during the process, whether at an open house or through the seller's side, it's clear that Alissa and team are extremely experienced, and know all the ins and outs of the industry and market. I was particularly impressed by the financial analysis she provided when considering a rental property. Alissa and her team provided us with a clear breakdown of the numbers for each of the properties we were considering ( including taxes, comps, closing costs, expenses, management etc.). This really helped us in our decision making. We were only in town for a few days and amazingly the entire process from first kick off meeting to making an offer on a house took 10 days. From there Alissa and her teams assistance was key - we managed the entire negotiation remotely!! She connected us with a local mortgage broker to help close a loan with a unique financial situation. She walked us through the contracts and comps, and when we bought the home she referring us to contractors and service providers for everything imaginable. We will definitely be going back for our next home purchase!

Not only is Chloe extremely disrespectful,…read morerude, and just genuinely should NOT be working in any position where she talks to people, but they will literally ignore every single maintenance request, any kind of privacy concerns (like having the owner of the actual property showing up in my backyard looking through my windows at any given time that he wants to) yeah you read that right. They did nothing to keep that from happening either. They just let people show up un announced at any given time so if you have kids deffinitly don't rent from them because youll wake up at 5am to a crane setting roofing on your roof waking up both your kids because they decided that was okay. Again. With zero notice. .They just do what ever they want when ever they want to with ZERO regard for you. They have no respect and then they will also try and keep every single penny that you gave them for a deposit. As it states on their website If you pay a cleaning fee in the beginning you will not be charged again for the cleaning fee at the end of move out (APPARENTLY THATS A LIE) which tbh i fully expected them to try and pull some shady crap so I went ahead and paid a professional company $650 for a move out clean. Everything in that house was spotless and they're still trying to charge me $750 for "excessive dirt" which is funny because that place was literally spotless I have the receipts, pictures, and even video proof. They cannot and will not provide me with pictures of this supposed "excessive dirt" theyalso stated that after a 3 year lease mind you that there was apparently excessive "paint dammage" which i know for a fact is not true because again, pictures, videos that I took before leaving the keys on the counter as I walked out for the last time. They also can't provide picture evidence of this apparent "excessive paint dammage" they then tried to call me and tell methey were willing to give me $700 of my $3200 dollar deposit back instead of the $200 and something they originally stated was the case. Our attorney is putting the case together now and they will be dealing with him shortly. But to save yourself from the extreme headache and stress that they will cause you. Just run the other way. Rent from anyone else. They're hands down theworst managment company I've ever rented from. Im glad to have finally bought a home so I no longer have to deal with places like this. They're just here to rob you. So RUN. Tmg is great though! I had nothing but great experiences with tmg.

I continue to be awed by their level of service and skill. Their team workflow model means we never have to wait long for answers to our questions, and every team member knows what's going on with our home search/sale at a given moment-- critical for this fast-moving, stressful real estate market. Home buying and selling is inherently stressful, and they make it so much less so... even fun! Kenny helped us write a strong offer throwing in terms I wouldn't have even thought of, and it was accepted even over higher priced offers. He also helped steer us away from homes we thought were a good idea but he has an eagle eye for structural issues and major red flags. This is the kind of expertise you want when making a huge decision. I fall all over myself to recommend Home Team to everyone I know.
