Ellie (part of Equity Real Estate - Premier Elite Branch) is machiavellian, arrogant, tactless. Our…read morepaths crossed earlier this summer when she became the property manager of an Alliance-managed property where I am a resident. On the day Ellie arrived, she did a walk around the pool at the new complex and those of us actually in the pool saw much more than we wanted to. Residents & kids alike were all appalled at her wildly unprofessional attire, which we have since learned is her norm. Her 4" cheetah print platform heels and white super miniskirts have turned off several prospects, even those referred by residents. Women are clearly uncomfortable with Ellie's revealing outfits, however this is particularly distasteful as the face of a property that claims to be kid-friendly and welcoming to families. My building is the most upscale property Alliance has been contracted to manage - and luxury living attracts professional renters...people who value relationship building. This is not a concept Ellie understands and as a result she has made many, many enemies. Instead of being inspired and motivated by satisfying her clients, the opposite is true - she works hard to make sure she wins every single "transaction," sacrificing what is right and legal in favor of what makes her more money or confirms her place of power. On multiple occasions she has ignored fair-housing laws and bullied tenants into doing what she wanted. When she arrived, she told residents she would not be honoring the deals that had been made by previous managers, and has since charged increased fees and premiums to existing residents while making deals with new residents for significantly less. Her corrupt actions are so blatant, the original tenants of the building (those from before Ellie's employment) believe they are facing discrimination and feel intimidated into doing whatever they can to stay off her radar. Almost every single one of the residents whose leases have come up for renewal since Ellie joined in June have elected NOT to resign due to the hostile and unsafe environment she has created. Her own employees call her "vindictive" and "emotionally unstable." When it works to her benefit, she gives 30 days notification to vacate; when it does not favor her, she demands 60 days notice from the tenant even when confronted with proof that 30 days must be legally accomodated. This is discrimination and ILLEGAL under multiple fair-housing laws. She routinely resorts to threats of extortion, lawsuits & bribery to have her bad reviews removed. If anyone dares stand up to her domineering actions, she immediately "marks" them and goes out of her way to push them out of the building. One tenant was being charged 40X what her water bill should have been. Another tenant was tricked into paying a multi-month deposit to transfer to an apartment that Ellie quickly leased to another couple before anyone would find out & the original tenant was never given a transfer OR refunded their money. On 9 different occasions tenants who posted honest reviews were told unless they took down the review & signed an NDA, they would face eviction, slander lawsuits, & their credits not refunded! It's difficult to meet with her about these problems, as she was managing 3 other properties, lives over an hour away, and is even a Realtor for a company in the area. Residents have complained of being in the office and hearing the staff making fun of other tenants, giving them derogatory & discriminating nicknames like the "Psycho Girl on the 4th floor," the "Dumb Brazilian with a hot butt," the "Wannabe Attorney" & the "Weightlifting model who looks like a man" "The Asian Princess", "the sugar daddy/baby" and shocked in Utah with all the gay couples that have moved in. The rest of us are known by our apt # & not our names...something Ellie says is "just part of working in the industry."

The other office girls I never met in person were always very kind via emails. Jessica-the local girl who helped tenants or fixed minor problems is very nice, helpful and kind.

Thank you all. Judy

Genuinely the worst experience you could ever imagine from a rental company! Their office was in…read morethe same building as my apartment and it was astonishing how things are run when you see it up close. You want to call them during their OPEN hours? Not a chance. You're lucky if someone's in the office either! If there is, it comes with children running around SCREAMING and drawing on walls. The office is a complete mess, and no one ever knows what's going on. They are beyond distracted, a conversation in that office is extremely overstimulating. We tried to move into a different place with them on 3 different occasions, all of which we heard nothing back, or the place was leaking water and absolutely disgusting. When moving out, you are required to schedule a time for the inspection. I showed up, no one knew anything, and we basically did a fake walk though that meant nothing for my deposit. A week later, I came back to drop off my keys and ask about my deposit, once again, no one knew a thing. They even said that! Wrote my number down, and never got back to me until I called threatening with an attorney 2 weeks later. Before we moved in, we came up all the way from Boise to tour this specific place. We showed up 30 minutes early and no one ever showed up! We drove all the way home with nothing accomplished. That was the beginning of our struggles with Equity Real Estate. Once we FINALLY got ahold of them and set things straight, we were able to sign the lease and get our move-in date. When we arrived, we had never seen the inside because no one showed up for our tour, so we had no idea how dirty the apartment was. There was sugar and a porno shot glass in the cabinet, the microwave and stove were completely filthy, the fridge smelled, I had to do an entire cleaning prior to moving in. Not to mention, how dirty the actual building and hallway are leading up to the apartments. When it comes to the place itself, things are cheap. The cabinets are loose, the bathtub moves and leaks, the floor creaks horribly, the door handles BARELY work, etc. Overall, I saw more children in Equity's office than agent, non of which know what's going on. I highly recommend NOT renting through this company. They are the most distracted, rude, uncaring people in Pocatello. ALSO- the price of these apartments is RIDICULOUS for how tiny and cheap they are. We are now paying the same amount for 3x the size, and a company that actually cares about us.

We had no idea what we were doing - she took control and explained everything every step of the way. We had a lot of questions and she was very responsive and kind.

We appreciated that so much and it helped us solidify that we made the right choice choosing her! Thanks again Anne!

As newcomers…read moreto the SLC area and newbies in the real estate market, we found that David went above and beyond to make the entire home-buying process educational, smooth and easy. David's deep knowledge of the SLC market, consistent availability to answer our questions (even the simplest ones), and genuine attention to our needs makes him exceptional. His expertise, eye for detail, and dedication to his profession shone through at every step of the journey. David set up listing alerts for our broad search area and took us to see over 30 homes. He educated us on all the things we should expect from a house in our price range. This included the quality of cabinetry, appliances, flooring/ carpet, tile arrangement, the type of grout used and so on. He didn't shy away from pointing out deficiencies in a house that were not apparent to me or my wife. He has a teacher's mindset and really prepared us to identify the house that would be perfect for us such that we could quickly put in an offer when such a house was listed. He gave us contacts for different lenders and contractors, and this proved extremely helpful. Ultimately, we put in an offer on our dream house the same day it was listed and had our offer accepted within 24 hours. Furthermore, he worked with our lender and the sellers agent to arrange closing within 2 weeks of the offer date. The whole process couldn't have gone any better and David had a huge part to play in it. I'll be referring all future SLC home buyers to David--we cannot recommend him highly enough!
