Dealt with cockroachs for months, I'm on cda housing so they intervened. Only my apartment, rest of building wasn't exterminated but they LIE and say it was. Tenants so otherwise.

Blamed me for security deposit taking over 3 months to return. Their excuses were laughable. Minnesota law is clear on security being returned. Yet they break that law with every tenant and General Attorney knows this. So why aren't they shut down.

This management group really needs to be stopped. I moved in to one of there properties that they…read moreowned and was instantly worried about the communication issues but needed a place because the last place was worse. Anyway, back to the problem I have. I have requested maintenance to work on the leaking and moldy ceiling. I submitted 4 maintenance requests and didn't see or ear anything about when they were coming. I even submitted pictures off the damage that the water has caused. And as I'm writing this right now a literal mushroom has poked through the paint. Come to find out that the property I reside at was sold to a new owner. Maybe that's why they ignored my maintenance requests. I had to write this because I have a toddler and this kind of negligence should have criminal repercussions. This is starting to become toxic for my family and I may be forced to move if nothing is done.

Cari Ann, Pamala and her team were fantastic with the sale of our house in the MacGrove…read moreneighborhood. They obviously knew the market very well and the staging was INCREDIBLE and instrumental in the quick sale of our house. Happy with the counsel/advice we received and the fantastic service. While Cari Ann Carter Group is at a slightly higher % for realtor fees, worth it just for the staging and high touch service. UPDATE (approximately 1.5 years later): We recently used Cari Ann Carter again for the purchase of a lot. This was a bit spontaneous and Cari Ann is a pit bull when it comes to advocating for you. We were able to put in an offer Sunday, get a counteroffer Monday and secure the property on Tuesday. She was INSTRUMENTAL in making this happen quickly and is the best negotiator ever! She set reasonable expectations for us, which we really appreciated, and was very open in feedback along the entire way. More importantly, she is a DO-er! She had 2 contractors out within 12 hours of walking the property to help us with the logistics of design, finding a contractor, etc. You want her and her amazing team on your side when you're buying or selling!

I rely very seriously on Yelp when traveling and so write extremely carefully with all reviews. Mike and Elke Weiland are the finest people to work with. They are 100 % calm, polished, down- to- earth, extremely honest but professionally tactful highly intelligent well educated gracious gracious people. They are also GENUINELY sensitive kind good people. We interviewed approx 8 companies in two years before putting our 5000 sq ft 1963 home on the mkt 2/27/15 . It took 3 years of very hardwork ( along w my husbands unexpected 5 surgeries in 2013) to get the house totally ready for sale. This is our 4 th home in 38 years of marriage in 4 states. This is a very impossible house to sell for Sid Hartman had built a huge recording TV/ radio studio on the top floor . The Minnesota mkt has not recovered for homes over $500M-- we are just at 7% of sales in this price range . If we could hv afforded to wait 2-3 years, the return on our huge ($400M) improvements investment would hv been better, but my husband's health issues were the factor for sales today. There seems to be a very real small tight community of seasoned senior prosperous upper bracket price point realtors. They know one another extremely well and hold one another in very high deserved professional regard. They also do not welcome newcomers to their community. They network easily via direct email text phone. They control all high end relocation clients as well. Only through careful methodical research of actual realtor sales/ price points will you be able to ID this community. We never knew this. We have only lived here 15 years. We do not understand this particular buying culture= extremely different fr the East Coast. This realtor is not recognized by this high end community, does not hv the established network of realtor contacts, is not aggressively proactive nor strategically inventive with extremely difficult properties such as ours and priced our property about $30M too high and nixed a drastic price drop after the first two unproductive prime sale weeks where all feedback said " too high priced". It did not help that my nervous husband did not favor price drops as well. Now 90 days on the mkt with only two months of favorable buying ( September = drastic drop), we are now a short sale. Our price $599M must plunge almost $100M to be sold this year. Hopefully not lower. Short sales can ONLY be done by exclusive short sale realtors: they negotiate w your banks. Strive to close where you do not hv to bring any cash to the table. Most regular realtors can not will not help you EFFECTIVELY w your banking lenders Very Impt info. Good luck

An experienced, highly…read moreethical agent who consistently ranks among the top producers in our office, Mike is also forthright, kind and generous--exactly the kind of Realtor I would seek out if I wasn't a Realtor myself--and I have relied on his expert advice on many occasions. Recently I asked Mike to co-list a 4-plex with me as it was my first foray into multi-family properties. This was a challenging listing with an out-of-state seller. Mike's knowledge and expertise were invaluable throughout, and despite being thrown more than one curveball, we got the property under contract within a few weeks. I wouldn't hesitate to work with Mike again or recommend him to anyone. A truly outstanding agent.

We bought our home with Billy virtually across the country. At first we were sure that we wanted to…read morestart looking at houses after we moved to Minnesota. Buying something as expensive and important as a house virtually seemed nuts. But as the new year began we started getting the urge to just take a look. Who knew that within just a few weeks we would have an accepted offer? There is no one else we would have felt comfortable buying remotely with. And the only reason we changed from just looking to seriously buying was because we came to trust and rely on Billy's opinions. He is not just a savvy and knowledgeable realtor, he is truly a sincere and nice guy. He would warn us that even if we lose out on a house, in the end it always works out (and SPOILER ALERT he's right). But he still commiserated with us when we were outbid and he really went above and beyond when we were searching for the right home. And he really does want to find you the right home. He will be honest with you about any negatives he sees and he will steer you away from any bad decisions. Sometimes we were so keen to just get a house that we were willing to settle or make hasty decisions. But Billy makes sure that whatever house you get is a great house and whatever you do is sound and smart. And I'm so glad that he was there with us helping make all our decisions. He would give us daily updates of his endeavors going door to door and networking with other agents. In the end it was a note of his he left on the door of a house that was off the market that did the trick. We were able to buy a house that was miles better than any of the other houses we put offers on with basically no other competition. In the crazy housing market right now you need someone like Billy who is willing to go the extra mile. He was always trying innovative techniques to help us stand out amongst other buyers and that's exactly what it takes these days. He's continued to be invaluable after closing. He was great to bounce ideas around with about updating the house after moving in and he and Heather have been great with recommendations. He is always super responsive and I'm so glad I can still rely on him even after we've closed.
