Which only would have taken 5 mins of his time. I guess since he's not getting paid to do so it's a waste of his time It's crazy how his profile says " I live helping others and teaching the industry I cherish" but can't take 5 mins of his time to fill out one piece of paper and sign Adam is lazy and rude especially if it not benefiting him in his favor - be careful working with him. I'd prefer to work with someone respectful and customer service oriented who doesn't hang up the phone on people requesting important documentation that can affect people's livelihood. Clearly started out the gate too fast.

I believe buying a home with Dennis Poulsen and Samson Properties was the worst and biggest regret…read moreof our lives and I do not recommend anyone ever work with them. My husband was not aware the inspection contingency was waived on the offer Dennis wrote, and no pre-offer inspection was even done. My husband only found this was waived after the offer was accepted when I read the contract. No CMA was done either. Dennis kept pushing my husband to offer higher than what my husband wanted to offer and he gave us significant pushback and attitude when we asked for repairs. I felt he minimized all our concerns and complaints. He felt like an enemy rather than an advocate during the whole transaction. I believe we ended up paying significantly more with fewer seller repairs because of his involvement. We felt manipulated the whole time as it felt like he was truly working for the seller instead of us. It was extremely difficult to file a complaint about him to his broker, Samson Properties. They promised intervention with another individual to get us through closing, then said she was too busy. They did nothing to help the situation. Dennis denied my allegations, even things I have screenshot evidence of. After the sale, he did not respond to email requests asking the seller basic questions about the flooring, roof, etc on our behalf. Samson was cc'd and did not care. I felt Dennis was primarily focused on closing the deal no matter what for his commission, without due regard for our financial interests, time, or satisfaction. I believe we significantly overpaid due to his involvement. It was the worst experience of my life and I truly regret ever working with him and Samson Properties.

To Whom It May Concern,…read more I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding the unprofessional conduct and deceptive marketing practices of your company. I have been subjected to an incessant volume of marketing texts and phone calls. Despite my explicit requests to be removed from your contact list and for the harassment to stop, your staff has responded by laughing and hanging up the phone. This behavior is entirely unacceptable and unprofessional. Please immediately cease all communication with me and remove my contact information from your database.

Over the past month…read moreand a half, I've been in the office several times asking questions about roofing projects, roof replacements, approved colors, compliance, and making sure the work we're doing in the community lines up with HOA guidelines. Mari, the Covenants Manager, has been extremely helpful and patient with all of my questions. I also had the chance to meet Tracy, the General Manager, and she was great to work with. Lisa, the Administrative Assistant, has been very resourceful as well. She even helped locate and scan survey documents from the files so we could use them for permitting. Zach, Stacy, Bill, and the rest of the team have all been helpful and approachable whenever I've had questions. As both a Dominion Valley resident and a local business owner, I really appreciate the time they've taken to help me, my customers, and other residents stay on the right track. I've even gone in with questions about exterior colors for my own home, and they took the time to help me make sure everything was compliant. Every time I've been in the office, it's clear they are managing a lot between resident questions, emails, documents, compliance items, and day-to-day community needs. Even with all of that going on, they have always made time to answer my questions and help however they can. Thank you to the Dominion Valley HOA team for all that you do for the community. I truly appreciate your responsiveness, professionalism, and willingness to help.

They insisted that it must be wired to a different bank which is 1.5 hrs away from me (because, you know, I MOVED), and required a voided check from that bank, where I DID NOT want the money sent. Instead, they mailed a check, which now faces a 10 day hold during which I could've been earning interest had they wired it to the *bank I selected.* Avoid this Title Company at all costs. Both the settlement attorney and my realtor agreed their actions were "asinine." If they can't adhere to real estate contract terms or distribute sale funds to the seller via modern methods, they should not be in operation. If you want everything to do with the sale or purchase of a home to go wrong, then use this company. They are IDIOTS.

I know, I know...."WTF dude, you're NOT giving them a one star rating???" Yes, but hear me out…read more I'm not sure that I've heard of any HOA company that anyone has been absolutely 100% thrilled with, so the playing field is already pretty low in that respect. However it's all about the people you interact with, AND how you treat these people. A lot of homeowners go into any exchange with an HOA company with a chip on their shoulder, and it's easy to forget that the folks on the receiving end of this are also human. So. As you read this, you actually might start to wonder why I gave only four stars and not five, and the reason for that is because Sequoia has been a little slow to catch up to the digital age: it took a loooong time for them to stop sending those ridiculous paper vouchers for us to make our dues payments and to also not charge extra fees for taking online payments, so I had to administer a ding for that. Also, they are a bit stringent on their "inspections" - sending nastygrams to people for putting their trash out early because they're going out of town the next day? C'mon, that is NOT going to reduce property value. But I digress... The good part of all this? Our neighborhood's rep, Shannon Cook. Shannon is definitely no dummy, so while I wince to say it I am sure she knows she's probably reviled by some members of our neighborhood just for the very nature of the job she has to do. But what those folks don't know or appreciate is just how well she does it. Several years ago I unwittingly (read: dumbly) volunteered to serve a 3-year stint on the board of directors for our HOA, and in doing so I got a front-row seat to seeing all the things that Shannon does for our community on behalf of Sequoia. She is extremely methodical, very organized, and - as I alluded to earlier - sharp as a tack. Having served that term on the board I came to understand and appreciate just how ignorant, entitled, and downright rude some of my fellow neighbors are. And while the board I served with were on the receiving end of some of that ire, Shannon took the brunt of it....with the patience of a f*#@ing saint. Since then, when listening to some of my neighbors complain about their interactions with Shannon, I realize that in the vast majority of the cases they are entering into those exchanges already in the wrong. So when she responds to them with the facts and the established rules/bylaws, she's immediately the enemy. It's a no-win. What a lot of my neighbors don't see is how tirelessly she works at this job. It is NOT a 9-to-5 job, and she is at every single evening HOA meeting, coming to the neighborhood on weekends to meet with contractors, and responding to communications from community members and her colleagues well outside of normal business hours. Witnessing all this for quite some time and seeing how much time she puts into our neighborhood, I was absolutely floored to find out that our neighborhood IS NOT THE ONLY ONE SHE MANAGES. She is keeping up this same level of service for other neighborhoods as well, so I have no clue when this woman sleeps. So five stars for Shannon acting on behalf of Sequoia, but the caveats from the Sequoia company I called out above make it four.

I asked her to please send the other ones. Then she was sending rentals. Then listings in the wrong state. I pointed out to her. I've been beyond patient and got nothing but denial and her gaslighting me telling me she didn't send the wrong areas when I clearly am looking with my own eyes and they are there. The nicer I was the more shed I guess thought I was a pushover and could just keep cancelling past minute. On top Of this she wasn't scheduling any showings for me and cancelled meeting TWICE !!!! I texted her and she still was gaslighting me telling me the listings dod not include erroneous info. The listings that were there were unclear if they were preach built or new construction. I asked. She said she would let me know . She didn't. Then she cancels the appointment again so she can go help someone else I guess a juicier deal just arrived at her and she shoved me aside like dirt to take her other appointment after cancelling prior and me re arranging to meet her time. I have never ever dealt with this level of cold uncaring service from anyone. She literally has no regard for me as a human being and zero respect for my time.

With the monthly fee over $771/month that is their job and I should not have to waste an hour of my time to fill out forms and upload last years inspections but I did and now they have posted a letter they are going to break in next week if someone is not home. I received no confirmation from my submissions and no response to my emails. I have called and they say they do not see the information in their portal. I sent them the old emails and a screenshot of the submissions in the portal. This is harassment!

She assisted my brother and me with the sale of our parents' home in April 2022. I have worked with many real estate professionals on several transactions over the years and can say with confidence that Philippa is one of the best I have ever used. Philippa has the qualities that make her an extremely successful and effective agent. We found her extremely knowledgeable and well-attuned to the super fast-changing market of early 2022. She was always attentive to our concerns and very responsive to questions, often responding immediately no matter the time. She showed great attention to detail enabling the sale to be made in less than a week. Our mother had recently passed away and we were raw with grief. Furthermore, we live in California, so it was even more important that we could rely on someone like Philippa to take the reins from beginning to end and that is exactly what she did. She was able to interpret and solve all the questions pertaining to our mother's Trust without the need for outside lawyers, and this was a great convenience to us. We also feel that we got the highest price possible for the house based on her pricing strategy and advice. Philippa exceeded our expectations in every way. The sale went very smoothly and we closed on time. I would not hesitate to recommend Philippa to anyone in need of a listing agent or for the purchase of a home. We interviewed three other agents before deciding on Philippa and she did not disappoint. Every detail was perfect, from the fantastic professional photos, the listing description, to the impeccable transactional aspects leading to the close of escrow. In a nutshell, she is a top tier professional, intelligent, tenacious, fun and talkative, bright and conscientious. If you need an agent/broker then hire Philippa Main. You won't be disappointed.

While the home-buying process itself was smooth, our move-out experience was the complete opposite. As a family with young children, we were repeatedly questioned and made to feel uncomfortable over normal wear and tear......things like minor drywall nicks that are expected in any home with kids. These were already being addressed on our end with a contractor, as we had communicated. Despite agreeing to cover repairs and forfeit a $3,000 deposit, we were met with unnecessary comments and a level of aggression that felt unprofessional and unwarranted. It was especially disappointing given that we chose to work with her over many other options, expecting a level of trust and respect in return. We believe in accountability and were fully willing to take care of any legitimate damages....but respect and professionalism should go both ways. Based on this experience, we would not recommend doing business with Jin.
