I have a vintage condo in the, Tower Grove East neighborhood of St Louis, thanks to Garcia…read moreProperties. When I made the decision to move back to STL from suburban life in IL, I knew I wanted to use Garcia Properties as my agent. I support several of their restaurants along Kingshighway and like how they truly believe in the city. The day I stopped in to start the process, I met with a young lady (forget her name) and she asked a variety of questions. She then matched me up with, Stefan Kelly. When we met, I told Stefan I wasn't under any time frame. My goal was to really find the perfect match. We worked as a team, I searched Zillow and followed other listings as well. I started out wanting a bungalow or some type of small house. Then I started looking at condos, as a possibility. Once I did that, I knew I was on the right track. Once I found the one that meet all my needs, Stefan and the Garcia team made it a reality. So, if you're looking for your first, or a new dream home, I highly recommend Garcia Properties.

My 90+ year old home had a few things come up on inspection that needed to be cared for quickly. Bridgette had contacts for everything. She coordinated getting some estimates and even met up with the companies when I couldn't be there. She was very communicative during the process and honest in her feedback. I highly recommend her!

Entering into a rent-to-own agreement here was a massive mistake, and we were completely…read moreovercharged. They marketed this as a brand-new, updated home, but it is actually a cheap flip job with outdated everything. They slapped an awful, disgusting paint job over structural issues, installed terrible flooring and cheap carpet, and left popcorn ceilings galore. Under the surface, the place is falling apart: there are active leaks in the basement, the bathroom fans don't even work, there is terrible foundation work, and the A/C unit FROM 1993! Despite paying a premium for a supposedly 'updated' house, you are forced to shoulder 100% of the expensive maintenance burdens of a homeowner without getting any of the actual benefits or equity of owning the property. You have to pay out of pocket for these costly repairs while the actual homeowner hides completely behind Three Doors and Complete Property Management to avoid any accountability. To make matters worse, their home warranty company is a complete joke. They use endless loopholes, pre-existing condition clauses, and deliberate delays to deny legitimate claims, leaving you entirely stranded when those ancient systems inevitably break down. Whenever a crisis hits, the owner stays invisible, the warranty company offers zero protection, and the management group just points to the fine print. It is a predatory setup where you take all the financial risk for a lemon of a house while they hide in the shadows and cash your checks.

This is a waste of time if they call offering to buy your home…read more We took our house off the market and they were one of 50 people to call, but they wanted to buy my house rather than just be my next real estate agent. I said please do not waste my time and offer me 'like $385k'. Pat said, 'oh no, we do not do that. So I proceeded. I chatted with their agent next and we set up a time to meet at the house and appraise. I again said please do not waste my time if this is just going to be a lowball offer, again even saying 385k as an example of an offer we would be offended by. After three days of communicating and arranging my schedule to to meet Shawn at the property, his offer was $325k. The zillow estimate on our house was $445k and the Zillow offer to buy it was $401k. This was such a colossal waste of time and could have been avoided with honestly and integrity.

The house we were viewing had the remnants of an animal who hasn't been potty trained and a hard to get out smell going for it but I thought, I can work with them on this. I applied, paid the fee for my spouse and I, got a denial within two days. No working with "me" whatsoever. I felt as if it was a bit predatory, egging me on as if the process was well on its way. That is my experience with Keyrenters St. Charles office.

I worked with five other real estate agents in the area before finding the Gellman Team. None of…read morethem were able to help in selling or even renting our condo. After two years of going from one agent to another failing to sell, I discovered the Gellman Team. I was introduced to Bill Keefer who helped me step by step identifying each reason why our place was not selling. The attention to detail, the experience, and his advice were all valuable. Interesting this is, I didn't even have to be in St. Louis for any of the efforts as I live 2000 or so miles away in the east coast! Within a few months, Bill helped in getting our place ready to sell and it closed. Bill is one of those rare people who cares about the buyer and the seller at the same time. I strongly recommend him to anyone who wants to either buy or sell a property.

Where do I start? We lived in our house for 2 years. In those two years, we have obeyed every rule…read more We have fixed everything we could fix. We have dealt with some VERY nasty living conditions due to the lack of money the owner and agency had available (so they claimed at least). There was a constant rodent, bug, and very bad mold problem all 2 years of us living there. They never once tried to fix the problems. We had to pay for EVERYTHING. They never even provided pest control. Not even willing to offer for a fee like most basic apartments even do. The carpet was DISGUSTING. We mentioned it from the moment we stepped into the house and for two years they refused to change it. There was a dog living there prior to us, too. Here's a LAUNDRY list of everything that was going wrong with the house that they jerry rigged to meet their cheap needs: The roof was in SHAMBLES. So bad so that a little while before we moved out, it starting leaking when it rained. There was a window pane that kept falling down that was more than half the size in length of the roof. It covered a huge opening that was supposed to be boarded up but the board fell inside the roof and they never bothered to fix it. They just stuck a piece of glass over it, with no insulation. so that the house was freezing during the worst winters Missouri had seen in a long while. Kept falling down and we had to keep propping it up with boards and whatever else we could find. Snow was literally coming into our house. The gutter around the window pane that was mentioned above was literally ripped from the house and in a crumpled mess because of the messed up window pane. The rodent problem? The house would smell of dead mice because there were tons of them living in the walls, living everywhere, dying in the vents. It was DISGUSTING. We've killed more mice than I have even SEEN in my entire life. Roaches. Oh my gosh. They would crawl on our bodies. I can't even go there it's so disgusting. In our pantries. In our dishes. In our fridge. On our clothes. Back to the carpeting, you couldn't vacuum without the carpet falling apart. The one thing they did fix (though it took the better part of a whole year) was a MAJOR leaking issue in the bathroom that caused mold to grow and flooding to ruin the main carpet area. Did they replace the carpet for us? No. Heaven forbid. At the price of $1230/month, who could afford that?!?!?! The tiling upstairs wasn't even attached to the floor anymore. I was half tempted to super glue it back to the floor. The blue carpet in the dining room was STAINED of dirt being tracked into the house. They had a rotting, rusty, sharp and dangerous metal bin out in the yard that you couldn't remove. The wooden stairs leading up to the house were a hazard. They were so bad you had to be very careful where you stepped or you'd break your ankle. The deck was falling apart. They left the garage door a mess. The upstairs in the garage was disgusting, the door opener was and still is broken, the garage lights outside never did work. The walkway to the house was falling apart. We made the front yard look amazing. Looks like professional work was done to it. The fireplace hearth had a massive piece missing off the corner. No bother to even replace it. There were burn marks on the carpet. The walls were a mess. 2-3 different shades of color on it, dirty and disgusting. We washed dark brown dirt off the walls upstairs that the rental agency didn't bother to make sure was cleaned up. Here's the kicker. They made us pay $200 to get the carpets cleaned. Same carpets they REFUSED to replaced no matter how many times we asked them to. No matter how many times we told them it smelled awful, they said they didn't have the money to do it. We had a $1700 deposit with them, in total. $500 was refundable pet deposit. They CHECKED THE HOUSE before we left, said everything was fine. Said we would get our whole deposit back. New tenant comes in and claims there's an odor. Well DUH. So what do they do? The agency comes back and SUDDENLY they smell it! Even though they just didn't smell it when we were there. Ready for this? They took OUR MONEY and replaced the carpets. YEP! A huge chunk of our deposit. Our money. Remember how they wouldn't replace the carpet when WE asked them to for two years? Because they had no money, remember? Well now that had it. Our money. They. Are. Thieves. and liars. I haven't even told you about everything but I'm done wasting my time. DO. NOT. DO. BUSINESS. WITH. THEM!!! At least not with Roger Schneider himself. We thought he was a good business man and we gave him the benefit of the doubt for two years. We trusted him with our money. Looks like he took us in the end. His brother is nice, though. Too bad he isn't in the real estate business...

Luckily, I found a CR Holland-owned property that had just been remodeled. The home had been remodeled quite nicely, but what I am most impressed with is the customer service, responsiveness and friendliness of the employees. I had a water leak and the within 24hrs, the leak was fixed and the flooring (including sub-flooring) was replaced. I had a minor electrical issue and they took a team approach to solving it. Highly impressive! If you are looking to purchase or rent in the Belleville, Scott AFB, O'fallon, Fairview area, I would definitely recommend contacting their office first before looking at other companies in the area.

When I decided to sell my condo and become a renter as I am now a senior citizen, I immediately thought of this complex. This has been a positive experience from my first encounter with management. The leasing manager, Joseph, is absolutely knowledgeable, helpful, kind, patient, and responsive to all questions. The maintenance staff are responsible and reliable hard workers. If you need some thing done, you put in a work order. When they have completed the work you get an email documenting the completion. They are extremely well organized and well managed, and I am thrilled and lucky to be a part of this community.

There have been repeated late-night parties, loud music, and heavy bass that carries into neighboring homes. I reported the issue to the property management company multiple times, but no effective action was taken.

In a residential area, this level of disruption is unacceptable, and management's failure to enforce basic quiet standards has been extremely disappointing. I would not recommend this company.

I do not think that this company can be trusted. Avenue's site states: "Low Fee Guarantee - We…read morematch any competing proposal fee for comparable service. We won't be beat on fees." Avenue does not keep its word. I was in talks with Avenue, as I was considering using them as property manager for my rental. Per the request of the Avenue employee I was speaking with, I sent him a leasing agreement I had with a competing property management company. I did this to see if Avenue would actually stand by their word and make good on their "low fee guarantee." After talking with me on the phone about it, the Avenue employee actually agreed with me that my lease with this other company was an "apples to apples" comparison with their own. However, he said that they would charge me more than the other company. In other words, they would not honor their own guarantee. They do not keep their word. Also, there are multiple fake positive reviews of this company. I'm 99% sure that some of these fake reviews were posted by their employees. I would advise staying away from this company.
