avoid at all costs…read more I've had an incredibly frustrating experience with Gateway Property Management. Their handling of my account and additional charges has been nothing short of appalling. Despite raising multiple maintenance issues and requesting clarifications on overspend, they were slow to respond (if at all), and the issues went unresolved for months. Even after asking for a breakdown of the costs and a deferment of payment while awaiting answers, they continued to impose late fees and even threatened court action. Their lack of transparency, poor communication, and unwillingness to address valid concerns are unacceptable. If you're looking for a management company that values customer service, avoid Gateway Property Management at all costs.

When my father passed away I went to Richard Beckman Realty for help in selling his home…read more It was my amazing good fortune to get Mariah Pede. I live in another state, so it was a challenging task for me to try take care of my dad's estate. Mariah was absolutely amazing, truly. She went above and beyond to help me, and to make the experience as smooth as it could be. Mariah's knowledge, patience, understanding, and amazing kindness at an extremely difficult time in my life was something that rarely happens these days. I would recommend Mariah Pede with Richard Beckman Realty Group hands down for any of your housing needs. Simply the best!

Larry is a gifted problem-solver who strongly advocated for his client while earning my trust by ensuring that any and all issues were addressed promptly.

Should I ever buy or sell another property, I can say unequivocally that  my first call would be to Larry.

Two thumbs up for Team Pamies in Washington state! I met Frank and Sarah at an open house they were…read morehosting and my wife happened to inquire if they knew anything about the listing down the road. Frank was immediately on his space phone and secured a time for us to visit the property in short order. We headed over there and Frank was fully gracious and accommodating in showing us the property as we hemmed and hawed for at least an hour. I was already impressed enough to decide on enlisting Frank to be our realtor. We ended up putting an offer on the home though ultimately chose not to advance into escrow. Thereafter Frank kept us at the front edge of prospective listings and hosted a series of home tours accordingly. As it happens, we've chosen to delay house hunting for the time being, and various conversations with Frank proved to me that he was seeking our best interests over his bottom line. In the future we plan to look to Frank and Sarah to help us out. As far as I can tell when buying or selling a home everything is about knowing the market coupled with strong negotiation skills and efficiency and prompt communication. You snooze you lose. Frank is like a friendly lightning bolt responding to every question via phone, text, or email before I can hardly hit send, and with responses which readily advance the game. If you are buying or selling in Thurston, Pierce, or Mason counties then Frank and Sarah should be on your team.

He expertly handled all the details (and I mean ALL the Details!!) and did an outstanding job of negotiating the terms of the sale.

His expertise combined with a very easy going personality makes this a no-brainer. Frank for president!

Vince Himlie at Windermere Shelton turned out to be a very shrewd and clever operator…read more My real estate agent was convinced we had solved a problem with my loan near the end of a long and difficult escrow on one of Vince's listings and that the sale would now go through. Vince had been somewhat vague and not very forthcoming the last few critical days leading up to the close, but we still felt quite confident on the last day of escrow when he agreed to accept a filing asking for a bit more time. We had disclosed in detail with him the glitch we had just resolved and had every reason to believe he would grant the request. The next day I got a surprise call from my agent stating our deal had fallen apart and that the home had been sold to someone else. It seems that Vince had lined up his own buyer and had intended to sell the home to this buyer for several days. By not disclosing his true intentions and distracting us with a bogus filing on that last day, he precluded any possibility of my settling and saving the home with my own cash. His last minute timing was clearly intentional and had a devastating effect. He was able to inform my agent the very next morning that it was too late for us to do anything in that he already had a signed contract. He also possibly cashed in with a much larger sales commission. I believe Vince Himlie's actions were calculated, misleading, even cold hearted, especially with my agent having had many candid face to face meetings with him. He was also quite aware that my agent had months of hard work and a large commission at stake. He apparently had no qualms about snatching all this away. I should mention the home we lost was a one in a million gem that had taken nearly a year to find. I was heart broken and also furious at having been blindsided and deceived in such a manner. There was also a strong sense of betrayal. Vince, with his vast experience in real estate, had generally conveyed a tone of understanding and good will, that is, before he put the knife in at the end.

Toxic mold pit and rude condescending management. Held my deposit from a housing department when…read morethey said it was clean when I left because of course I scrubbed it as much as I could so the next person wouldn't get as sick. There was mold coming out of the dishwasher, mold, coming out of the bathtub mold on the ceiling mold on the window ledges. The apartment was dirty when I moved in and contained toxic mold. The facility around it you have to deal with Planned Parenthood, which I didn't know about being in the same facility and protesters. Homeless people, jumping the fence in the back in the middle of the corridor so they can do their drugs on the bench out there and Sleep. A dead rat sat in the parking lot squished the whole time. I was there for six weeks. When they said they'd let me out of the lease due to the mold, took forever to get that money back. People need to be aware of how rude these people are that work there. Management was extremely rude. Did not want to work with the housing agency on returning the owed money. I'm not keeping this quiet anymore. I'm really tired of people taking advantage of the state assistance housing programs, as well. You guys have moldy Apts you do nothing about it. You throw a fit when someone says hey there's hypodermic needles back here. Obviously people jumped the fence doing drugs left the evidence. Big dog poop all over the place at the time I lived there. I've never been so stressed in my entire life. I would never ever rent from this very unprofessional, rude management company. They will take your money and they will do nothing when you need repair repairs done good luck! Make sure you run a mold kit before you rent any apartment near the water. It's been painted over doctored up. My esa cat has asthma from this whole situation. I would never recommend living here. I would give zero stars for the way they treated me like I was a piece of crap like I didn't matter. Like I did wrong when I rented a place asking for it to be cleaned not a toxic mold pit. As far as they know, someone moved in right away so they must have thought my cleaning was good enough for a toxic mold pit. Never again.
