We went to closing and the agent did not show up. Which agent would sell and house and not show up for closing??? The problem is that he did not notify me, nor my attorney, nor the other agent. It was the strangest thing!! Neither he nor rand thanked me or congratulated me for my business. I could have easily used another agency and agent that were even willing to get me more money!!! I will never recommend Rand or Mr. Lawrenson, that is just plain disrespectful!!! Strangeeee.

I would like to begin by saying that I typically do not write reviews as they, in my opinion, are…read morepreempted by extreme elation for a particular venue, or, in my case, a situation in which I was left speechless. My wife and I currently relocated to the Hudson Valley on short notice and we needed to find temporary housing rather quickly. We had two requirements: a 6 month lease and a house that accepted our two dogs (a Australian Sheppard and a Husky). We skimmed the internet for various places and our first call was to RE/MAX Benchmark Realty agent Sheila Selvage. We explained to her our requirements and as we discussed the property that we had found, Sheila stated that she had a property that would better ft our needs. Sheila explained that this particular property was in a beautiful neighborhood that was safe and, above all, had a nice fenced in yard for our two dogs. I will say that my wife and I did not have the opportunity to actually view the property as we lived six hours away and could not find the time (so, we are partly to blame for the results). Move-in day: My wife and I were particularly excited to see our new property until we actually saw the property. I will describe it like this: It is not a place that you would want your daughter to live. We were supposed to meet Sheila at 2:30pm; she was 30 minutes late and the first thing that came out of her mouth when we met here was this: "Hi! How are you? You do have my check, right?" I should have known then. We have now been in this home for roughly six weeks and we have had nothing but issues. We have no fenced in yard for the dogs which has led to neighbor complaints. We do not have heat in the majority of the home. The majority of the home is covered in mold, dust, and grime. The windows do not close properly so we have a nice breeze throughout the home (remember, its been snowing for three days now). For the first month, we did not have a washer as the pump was broken by the previous tenant. Anyway, Sheila did not disclose any of this to us prior to us moving in. I am not a Realtor, but I do know that Realtors do have a fiduciary responsibility to those whom they represent. In my opinion, Sheila failed to meet her fiduciary responsibilities in our case. Heres the kicker: I called Sheila to voice my concerns and Sheila went straight into defensive mode, defending herself and her actions. As the discussion becomes more intense, and I ask Sheila where the fence was and she says "it used to be there, maybe someone took it", I questions here integrity. Then she proceeds to hang up on me right after stating that she has nothing more to say. Point of the story: I would not refer anyone to Sheila Selvage. I am positive that the overall Benchmark Realty group are wonderful, Sheila is not. Sheila took us for a nice ride and told us exactly what we needed to hear. It worked. We handed over $1550 to Sheila and she went her merry way regardless of whether she did right for someone who put their trust in her. In conclusion, I would like to be known that I hold myself partly responsible as I did not make the trip to see the home. Time did not allow for this. So, yes, I am partly to blame. But I put my trust in a local professional and trusted that she would do right by her newest client. I was terribly wrong.

We fell completely in love with a home they were selling. We've been dealing with issues on this home for over 1 month, uncovered damage to the property, hired a plumber at their request, got a plumber to submit quotes and they turn around and accept a higher offer from someone else a few days ago, then had the nerve to hire MY plumber to rectify the disaster in the house that I uncovered. They don't answer calls or emails, you can never reach the seller's agent, all of the secretaries/assistants give different information depending on who you get on the phone. Completely heartbroken about this and disgusted by their handling. Stay away from the or you will end up with a lemon, in tears, with a headache, homeless and with a dent in your wallet.

He is, without a doubt, the most patient, knowledgeable, and detail-oriented realtor I've ever worked with (and just a lovely person to boot). Roman took the time to truly understand what we were looking for and worked tirelessly to ensure that every option aligned with our needs. He made us feel comfortable and confident at every step - always listening, answering questions with care, and offering practical advice when viewing apartments. When we finally found *our* apartment, he was with us every step of the way, helping us assemble an outstanding team of professionals who made the process seamless. He expertly managed the complex coop application, ensuring that we felt completely organized and prepared at each stage. Having him in our corner when we encountered roadblocks or issues, made the overwhelming moments feel far more manageable. We are incredibly grateful for his guidance in helping us find our forever home and for the team he built around us. I wholeheartedly recommend Roman to anyone searching for an apartment or home (and have already done so multiple times). Do yourself a favor--work with Roman!
