Have lived at a property managed by Alpine for over 5 years. Admittedly, I was not a fan of Alpine…read morewhen I first arrived (not getting emails answered, leaving messages and not getting calls back). But since becoming more involved in the community and learning more about Alpine, I have come to realize the following: -In the beginning, I got my responses from Alpine but not as fast as I wanted them (but they did answer me and did provide what I asked for) -Since becoming more involved in the community, I have learned that some do not like the answers they get from Alpine, including myself at times -Residents, including myself, need to be more patient, especially when living in such a large community -Alpine is trying to make improvements and, when delivered in a healthy, mature, and constructive way (not yelling and/or calling them names), Alpine listens to feedback Alpine knows they need to make improvements. My understanding is they are under new management. Good. I would rather work with them, give them constructive feedback, push them to give better customer service, rather than complaining and gossiping with neighbors and not being proactive. Also, what responsibility do I/we have living in large community. If I/we do not like living in a community, then we should sell and invest in a single-family home. Looking forward to continuing a healthy working relationship with Alpine.

Refuses to inform complaintants what will be done about issues, which is required by our deed…read more Cannot get snow removed from our sidewalks. Refuses to tell me what she thinks I have done wrong. Time to complain to the board and BBB about her. Fails to enforce rules. Unhelpful and unprofessional email responses. Allows untold numbers of trespassers driving through our property but also can't get the asphalt redone as promised. Elizabeth (the supposed owner) never answers the phone. Blames owners for lack of attendance to her horribly run, inaccessible (not everyone has a computer) annual meetings. Forbids reaching out to other owners/ residents & board members though she's not getting her job done. Won't accept digital payments from my bank; they have to mail a paper check every month. Stay as far away from this company as you can.

Tim at CJL recently helped us with the sale of our family home. It was an unusual property and he…read moredid a great job of marketing it to the appropriate buyers. He worked very hard throughout the process, keeping us informed every step of the way. We were surprised at how fast things happened, but all for the best. Tim's professional and friendly manner made him a pleasure to work with. I would not hesitate to recommend Tim and CJL!

We are SO HAPPY with the work done by the MEF team and really couldn't possibly love our home any…read moremore. Brad, Charlie, Brian, and Paul are fantastic, kind, efficient, clean, and they deliver a superior product, and do it right on schedule! Our fully renovated home is exactly what we imagined--better actually--and we felt listened to and supported the entire way. (Maybe more important for me than for my husband, but truly, as a woman with little knowledge of construction, I never felt dumb or that I was asking for too much. This was incredibly important for a project of our scale.) All of the subs did excellent work too, and were consummate professionals. All in all, a really fantastic experience. We would give the MEF team 10 stars if we could! Hire them; you won't be sorry!

These people are a complete waste of time…read more Tons of automated replies-you barely feel human dealing with Christina and Period Realty Trust If you can wade through the continuous automated replies to actually get an email through to Christina, you will think you finally got somewhere. You might even be able to set up a tour. She confirms the tour the evening before for the next morning, and specifies what her car looks like--then first thing in the morning after you've driven to the property she doesn't even show up! No note to tell you she's running late or has to cancel. No text or call or message through Zillow. When you try to contact her there is no response at any of the above or acknowledgement that the property is unavailable. If you value your time at all-don't bother.
