Looking at purchasing/selling property in the same fashion, real estate agents are essentially House Lawyers. When it comes to your best interest in the long term you definitely want to hire someone competent and let me tell you all real estate agents are not the same. That being said Kimberly Barton is the best House Lawyer around! Kimberly came highly recommended and after working with her it's easy to see why. My goal was to sell my house and move to Florida with all my pets. She was able to sell my home within my projected time frame and made the process a breeze! Before I knew it I was headed south in a U-hual with my dog and all my other critters. When I reached out to Ms. Barton with my (then) current situation and goal time line to sell, she warmly accepted me as her client and was very confident that we'd be able to close by the date I had in mind. I was so thankful for her understanding of the emotional impact on selling my home, and the feeling that she really cared about me (and all my pets lol) as her client. She's incredibly thoughtful! Going above and beyond to make you feel stress free and comfortable the entire process. She still keeps up with me after my big move, even asking about my pets, which I appreciate so much! Buying or selling your biggest assest can be nerve wrecking and it's essential to trust the agent representing you. Kimberly Barton is amazing! I'm not sure how she does it, maintaining all her clients and such, but she is definitely in the right field of work! And looking fabulous while she does it! I have no doubt in her abilities to tackle anything real estate related and I'm so proud to add my prior adress to the "Kimberly Sold It" list!

She also helped us with renting out our old home and finding the right tenant for us. Her knowledge of the real estate market along with her understanding of property management has been invaluable. We walked into several homes where Mary pointed out issues or upcoming costs with that home so we can factor that in, if we were to consider an offer. She truly represented us in the process, un like many agents who are just concerned about getting their commission. We highly recommend Mary to anyone who is in a need for a real estate agent.

If you are considering building with Timberlake Homes, my strongest advice is to get absolutely…read moreeverything in writing and do not rely on verbal representations or showroom samples. Throughout our experience, there were repeated instances where statements made during the sales and pre-construction process were later rolled back or denied. This included communications about expected closing timing and site details such as sidewalk placement. When these changes occurred, we were told those representations had never been made, despite prior communications. Flooring was selected based on a physical showroom sample provided by Timberlake. After installation, the flooring installed throughout the home presented a materially different overall appearance than the sample relied upon, with significantly heavier variation and darker markings that were not reasonably conveyed by the sample. When this was raised prior to closing and supported with photos and written communications, the issue was reframed as a matter of preference and we were told we should have raised concerns before installation. That position is unreasonable, as buyers cannot know how a flooring product will appear across an entire home until it is installed. We were also told that a roughly $6,000 concession to address the issue was too large for a nearly $1,000,000 home purchase. Additional concerns included grading and drainage. While the site was described as prepped for sod, no assurance was provided that the grading in place was sufficient despite visible water pooling observed near closing. These concerns were deferred to warranty language without addressing the conditions observed. Communication throughout the process was consistently poor. Important guidance contained errors, including misspelling the name of their own community, and key details were often unclear or incomplete. When concerns were raised in good faith, responses relied on deflection and contract boilerplate rather than accountability. We approached this as a young family intentionally choosing to work with what was represented as a local, family-owned builder. Unfortunately, the overall communication, interaction, and handling of issues did not reflect the level of care or professionalism expected for a purchase of this magnitude. Based on our experience, we would not recommend Timberlake Homes to anyone looking to build a home for their family.

They didn't even give us the courtesy of a call. The sales person knew this was the lot we wanted and we had been working on finding the right place for nearly a year. Their response to us was "We cannot hold a lot". This showed their true colors, they are only in this for the sale, not the customer service.

Ron Hollander (the owner), his wife Rita (Rochelle Hollander, aka Rita White) and his children have a monopoly on both the residential and commercial rental market in downtown Annapolis, and it's a shame. I've rented several places in my 38 years, and these people are THE worst. They are slumlords. They do the bare minimum on their properties, to include not cleaning before you take possession. When asked if it would be cleaned before we moved in, we were told it was clean. See photos...DISGUSTING. In order to make them aware of pre-existing issues that were a result of the previous tenants, we provided them a list (as suggested in the lease) when we took occupancy. Their response was to ask us to vacate the property because they were under the impression we expected them to fix everything. This is obviously illegal for them to do as we pay rent on time and do nothing illegal....so we're staying (unfortunately moving is too much of a burden to do in less than a month in this place). Please note, the previous tenants lived there for 12.5 years. When we moved in it was clear no one went through the place with a fine tooth comb, let alone a wide tooth one! Heating units weren't working, the dishwasher wasn't working, there were plumbing issues (one of the bathrooms was completely clogged up and the other had no hot water from the shower), the walls weren't painted (evidenced by hair stuck to them in bedrooms/bathrooms, and food stains in the kitchen), the wood floors are splintered. To boot, they didn't provide the lead certification they are legally required to provide PRIOR TO OCCUPANCY until we mentioned it almost a full month into our lease. They only accept rent through a mail slot of a locked office door, and it's next to impossible to get a hold of the property owner. He WILL NOT interact with the tenants, but leaves it to his crazy wife (not kidding, she's nuts and she dresses like a homeless hippy) and sub par staff. If anyone is interested in starting a tenant association for King Properties tenants, please let me know. SOMETHING needs to be done to make these people conduct business in a professional manor.

My husband and I stayed at the Annapolis Waterfront Hotel for two nights, September 18-20, for a…read morefamily wedding. We booked the room months in advance and were looking forward to the stay. Unfortunately, this was one of our more disappointing Marriott experiences. We arrived Friday afternoon and immediately noticed several problems with the room. Part of the ceiling drywall paper was hanging down, the material around the light fixture was coming off, and there was hair and residue in several places on the bathroom wall looked as if the person cleaning used the rag from cleaning the shower then the floor. It wasn't the condition we expected from a hotel at this price point. Saturday morning, the toilet wouldn't flush. We reported it to the front desk, someone came up with a plunger, and we were told it was working. Unfortunately, the same problem happened 3 more times during our stay. Then Sunday morning, while we were getting ready to leave, the bathroom sink started filling with water instead of draining properly the floor in the room sounded hollow when you walked on it. We also had an issue with the breakfast benefit. We are Marriott Titanium Elite members, and at check-in we were told we could choose the breakfast benefit or points. I specifically asked whether we needed a voucher and was told no, that the breakfast would be taken off when we checked out. At other Marriott properties, the breakfast benefit has always been clearly explained, whether it's a specific dollar amount or a voucher. When we received our final bill, we found that it was a set amount each morning had been credited, leaving additional breakfast charges. Had we been told there was a limit, we would have understood and ordering differently. I also have concerns about the room rate. When I booked through the Marriott app, the total displayed for the two nights w/tax and fees was just over $1,400. The final room charges were considerably higher, and I am currently trying to understand why. Unfortunately, once the stay was completed, I could no longer go back into the app to see the original rate I had booked. I had also attached two room-upgrade awards to the reservation, but was notified before arrival that the upgrades could not be honored. I understand upgrades are subject to availability, so that by itself wasn't a issue we loose them often. However, combined with everything else that happened, it added to the disappointment. At checkout, I explained everything to the front desk. The employee helping me was very nice and actually said she couldn't believe how many problems we had experienced with the room. She spoke with her manager and initially offered 25,000 Marriott points. I explained that wouldn't even provide a free night at this hotel, so she increased it to 35,000 points. I accepted, assuming that she knew what a night at this property required. Once I got home and checked the Marriott app, I found that a weekend night at this hotel was costing more than 75,000 points. I want to be clear that the hotel is very nice other employees have been great beds were comfortable and the front-desk employee who helped us at checkout was very pleasant and I thought she was doing what she could to give us a free night and find out its not even close. My frustration is with the overall stay and the way the problems and charges were handled. We have stayed at many Marriott properties and generally have very good experiences. Unfortunately, this stay was quite different. Between the condition of the room, repeated plumbing problems, the confusion over breakfast, and the unexpected difference in the final room charges, this was simply not the experience we expected from the Annapolis Waterfront Hotel. I hope management takes these issues seriously and uses them as an opportunity to improve the experience for future guests.
