CONNIE ! CONNIE! CONNIE! :) Let me start this by saying that…read moreI am not your typical client. Connie knew she would have a challenge on her hands with what we were looking to do. My husband and I had a house to sell and then to purchase a new place. We had several bumps in the road with the sale of our house as the market was changing during the time that we listed. Connie and her team pulled resources from all directions to make sure that we had showings and open houses every week and weekend! I can't say enough about both Connie and Simone being accessible to us whenever we needed them! After the house was sold then we moved onto searching for a new place to call Home. This too was no easy task as my husband and I had two very different ideas of the types of property that we were interested in. He wanted move-in-ready and I wanted as much acreage as possible regardless of the homes condition. Poor Connie and Simone spent months driving us to property after property and to no avail. Throughout all the ups and downs they stuck with it and continued to search out listings (even off-market properties). In the end we purchased an amazing home/property and we both couldn't be happier. Our new home is perfect for our family and we are so excited to watch our children grow here. Much appreciation to Brush Real Estate and their stellar agents Connie Malkiewicz and Simone Keaveney! Thank you so much for all the hard work!! XOXO

Incompetent Management and Zero Accountability…read more Never return your email/call Repeated charges due to accounting team's error Hides HOA meeting notes to cover up their errors Disrespectful/rude staffs If you enjoy endless frustration and constant headaches, Strategic HOA is the management company for you. Despite the owner, Ian, repeatedly claiming that communication and staff training are "improving," the reality is a total lack of professionalism. Service requests routinely go ignored for months! One of their "top" employees, Amanda, actually fabricates HOA policies to cover her own mistakes. When I simply requested a heads-up about upcoming work near my unit as I have a small infant at home, she flatly refused, claiming it wasn't her responsibility. Consequently, they ran an industrial fan right next door 24/7 for six straight days with zero explanation. When I asked her to cite the specific policy that allowed this lack of notice, she went silent. The sad part is this is just one of many crap stuff that they've done. They're wasteful with our budget and makes me wonder what they're doing at their office everyday, when you're not responding to their customers. This company prioritizes laziness over service. It's no surprise they were fired by our association after only a few years. Before hiring them, I strongly suggest asking Ian how many ongoing legal cases he and Strategic HOA currently have with former clients.

A maintenance worker damaged my property and lied to me and to his supervisor about it. This…read morecompany barely acknowledged it. When I moved into one of their apartments, I was verbally informed that there was pre-existing damage to the bathtub paint/enamel, as well as the garbage disposal, and that maintenance was queued up to fix it. I documented it anyway to protect myself against any damage accusations to protect my security deposit. Three months later, no maintenance was ever done, so I opened a ticket. I did not complain or ask for expedited service or any sort of special treatment. I simply pointed out what was needed. The next day, maintenance came while I was at work (which I agreed to, stupidly, but I live alone and had to work). When I arrived home, there was a single couch cushion randomly flipped over along with a bunched up throw blanket and a dark spot on the top couch cushion. When I flipped the cushion over, the couch cushion was soaked through and visibly wet with urine. It is obvious that the maintenance worker brought a pet with him while he was working (despite a building-wide no pet policy being enforced on the lease). I really hope it was a pet... It's a little gross, but I honestly barely care about that. The maintenance worker lied to me about it, lied to his supervisor about it when I asked if anything was reported, and the supervisor lied to me to protect him, and I'm incredibly insulted they simply flipped my couch cushion over hoping I wouldn't notice, instead of acknowledging it or even attempting to clean it. After a back and forth between myself and his supervisor, they finally agreed to pay to clean the couch... That's it. No apology for the days of lies and back and forth, no apology for them situationally applying their own rules and terms of lease, no apology for them essentially allowing and supporting someone to come into my home and destroy my property. My own rent payments were being used to pay the salary of someone who damaged my property and lied about it. Disgusting. To seal the deal, he did not even do a good job repairing my bathtub. It is already chipping where he repaired it... again.

To: Whom It May Concern…read more It is my wife and my immense pleasure to write a review on Destry Johnson, who we initially believed to be the best real estate agent to represent us, and sell our $550,000.00 Temecula, California home. We based our decision to use Destry exclusively on our communications over the telephone, e-mails, and text messaging. Over the short period of a "2" weeks we found Destry to be a consummate professional, who delivered ALL that he committed to. From "Going Live (Listing on Zillow)" it took Destry a "TOTAL" of 10 days to have an Open House, Followed by an Initial Offer, Followed by a Counter Offer, Culminating in Going into Escrow, and Leading shortly thereafter to a Successful Closing. It is both rare and refreshing, in this day and age, to find professionals like Destry, who enjoys his profession and his work, while committing to diligently working, what seemed to be 24/7, and at the same time delivering superior service to his clients. Not to mention gladly tolerating, as well as welcoming countless questions expediently. We could not be more pleased with the entire sales process from the initial listing to escrow to final closing. This review/recommendation comes from my wife and my many experiences, with a number of real estate agents, whom we have purchased, and sold a number of homes in NY, DC, and California, throughout our 45+ years of marriage. Destry exemplifies everything one expects, but seldom gets from people in sales. To us, Destry represents the Best-of-the-Best, when it comes to real estate agents. We recommend Destry without reservation, and we would not think twice about doing so. We are also more than willing to communicate verbally, or in writing with anyone looking to buy a home, or sell their home through Destry. Lastly, Destry has what I refer to as the " 3 P's " to success in life and business. *** Patience / Perseverance / Persistence *** Most Sincerely, Dr. Reid Jilek

In reading the reviews of AMG Management, I found it very common to have different kinds of…read moreexperiences with HOA management companies the same way people have different experiences with construction and other companies...it just happens. Over the years, I have worked with several HOA management companies and all of them had issues at one time or another; for example, some had high employee turnover rates and two other management companies went out of business without telling the Board! As for AMG, I have worked with AMG management company for at least ten years and have found them, overall, to be a great company for the two communities where I served as a Board member. First, the owner, Earl Feuer has been in the HOA management company for many years and has a wealth of knowledge about HOA management in all sizes of communities. He employs a staff that keeps current with all laws and HOA changes that may impact a community. Second, the services he offers, for example, bookkeeping of all HOA finances including past due accounts, HOA web site creation and maintenance, legal resources, monthly meetings, reports, Reserve Study reports, etc., are all provided on a professional and timely basis. In addition, he maintains a lengthy list of vetted local vendors that can be of service on short notice. Furthermore, AMG has the expertise to help a community update aging CCRs. The bottom line is HOA management can be a very messy business with many Board members NOT doing their due diligence with their community issues, acting like children and playing the blame game, specifically, towards management, when something goes wrong. Are there going to be times when things go wrong...definitely, but that happens in all business relationships and playing the blame game only makes difficult issues worse. Only if everyone, including the Board, community members, and management acknowledge their individual responsibilities, and work together to address issues when they arise in a timely, logical, rational, and professional manner, is it a win-win for everyone involved. This was my experience working with AMG in both communities where I was a Board member, and I highly recommend them to any community looking looking to put in the time and effort it takes to create and excellent Board/Management relationship.

Their answer is that your application can be used for other properties they manage. This is illegal and I have reported them to DRE.

I didn't apply when they explained their business practices. Outrageous, avoid if you can.

We had nothing but a totally positive experience with Barrie and AnneMarie. For two first time home…read moresellers, we felt so reassured due to their thorough communication regarding every aspect of the sale. They were so patient about answering all of our questions, and they were always available whenever we called. Being the trustee for selling my parent's house, they were able to assist with our many specific concerns of selling a home that is in a trust. The listing they created was beautifully done with amazing photos and expertly done staging. It showed the immense character of the home and the Mt. Helix area where it was located. They were confident they would be able to get the best price possible for us, and the house was only on the market for 6 days. The final offer we went with was over the asking price we initially wanted! Not only were they fantastic realtors, but fantastic people. We will never forget their compassion and honesty throughout the difficult emotional process of selling a cherished family home for 48 years. We formed a friendship that will last forever, and they will always be like family to us. Thanks for your hard work! -Laura and Korwin Kirk
