I was a resident of Classic Property Management for 3 years. I…read morehad alot of problems with my unit within the the 3 yrs there. The garage door broke several times and was forced to leave it open overnight numerous times all night until the repair man got there. I was told by maintenance and several others I had one of the nicest units there. I also do property Management being a real estate broker. Then everyone who would stay was getting sick. I decided to have the air ducts cleaned with my own money, which is where the BLACK MOLD issue was found. I had been sick, taking shots every month etc and nothing was helping. Dog gone mold came out and provided a mold record that there was mold in the return air vents which were covered up and hadnt been checked in who knows how long. They proceeded to send there maintenance man out who clearly had no clue nor was trained to deal with mold. He scrubbed the blk mold off under the carpet and cut the pad that was completely blk with mold out and covered it back up with the moldy carpet which fixed absolutely nothing then didn't even show up to finish the job. I had no choice but to move. Fast forward to getting my deposit back. I lived there 3 years and just got my invoice and they took 660.00 to change a few light bulbs, and 231.00 to clean the carpet for the next tenant. The rest was for touch up paint which is crap since I lived there 3 years. So just know, you won't have a prayer of getting your deposit back because they will find ways to keep it. After 3 yars its expected to do some touch up paint but why am I paying to have the carpets cleaned for their next tenant. When I moved in it was filthy so I was forced to have a cleaning crew come in before I could move in and I left it spotless. I was charged to take down a satellite dish that was there when I moved in. Just total bogus charges. Total racket and BEWARE OF BLACK MOLD. Happy to provide pics if anyone needs them.

Ive been really patience and nice despite how I've been treated…read more Ive been living in their properties for around 4 months now. The first property I moved in didnt work because of the owner rules; one day i woke up to a man tiptoeing out of my kitchen. Me and my daughter was asleep on the couch. I immediately jumped and reached for my gun. In order to walk to the kitchen, he had to walk past me and my sleeping baby which didnt sit right with me. When I called Ellie's regarding this issue, some seemed apologetic & understood how badly that could have gotten while others stated it was out of their control because he was hired by the owner, which didn't sit right with me so management allowed me to transfer units. My current unit, Ive been in for around 3 months. Still managed my Ellie's. Since day 1 of move in there has been clear signs of mice & ant infestation. Ive made them aware of this day 1, sending them pictures/ videos. There are so many entryways due to amount of holes. The main one is the kitchen cabinet which also contains a ton of mold that has yet been addressed(also made them aware day 1) the cabinet has a HUGE chunk missing and it connects to the outside which is how they're getting in. Mind you, they moved me in knowing this. While inspecting the massive hole underneath the cabinet, I noticed blue bait which is more confirmation that they were aware of the infestation prior to me moving in. I found my 8 pound dog in the bathroom, eating that same blue bait. I looked under the bathroom cabinet and seen they laid some out there too. Again, confirmation that they KNEW. my final 2 strikes was seeing a mice run from my baby closet(on the SECOND FLOOR) that same day her face and eyes were so swole due to her being allergic. Then, at 7am while bathing my daughter, I seen a baby mice running from underneath my bed. Confirming the problem has now grew due to them not taking this issue seriously or making tenants aware of infestation BEFORE move in. I still have yet received a response from the property manager. The office answer every now & then but they are helpless because they have to go through management to get things done. The first week of me living here, they sent a pest guy that said he couldn't treat for the mice because it isnt his job to patch holes; he stated they will only keep coming back until they're patched by maintenance and only left 3 ant traps on the counter for me to sit out on my own. After weeks and weeks of calling about the mice again, they are wanting to send the same pest guy out who did nothing the first time. I spent the last few weeks preparing because now I am able to withhold rent: I have documented all communication on my end, all of the mice poof, ants, mold, doctor appointments, therapy documents, communication with previous tenants, etc. It's a violation to move someone into infestation especially while being aware! my 2 year old is allergic and still no empathy has been shown. No discount. No proper treatments. Rent is 1900 I decided to go up in rent to avoid things like this. it's only me & my daughter on the lease. Not me, my daughter, and a family of mice & ants . Something needs to be done! Every neighbor I have talked to, has them too which could be why Ive been ignored and treated like a nuisance. I'm not understanding why not take this serious considering there is so many airbnbs over here, my next step will be letting the guest know the area they're paying to be in is infested.

Absolutely terrible property management company!!! If you are looking to buy a condo or rent, if…read morethe property is managed by Maxus - do yourself a favor and look somewhere else. I bought a condo in STL and they have a monopoly on the COA owning more than 50% of the units - my monthly assessment has increased $100 in 3 years, and there has been $2500 in special assessments due to their worthless management. On top of that, there has been nothing done to improve the building. The pool has been out of commission for a year - going to cost $25000 to repair. The rooftop is just a pile of s**t that is not maintained. Garage doors and elevators are always broken down. Just embarrassed honestly that I made such a stupid mistake and bought a property that is becoming more of a liability than an asset due to this joke of a company. I'm sure they are making money for their investors though...never again. Interesting too that this latest special assessment of close to $2000 is coming right before they sell their units to another property management company.

However they are just puppets of this greedy organization. Oh and Stacey Burlington/Jones is the most absolute rudest person ever. I tried several times to be nice to her to resolve an issue and she insisted on being rude no matter what.

Voepel Property Management became the fourth property manager my husband and I fired - and for good…read morereason. We made the mistake of trusting them at our expense. We purchased an investment home through Bridge Turn Key (BTK) and Voepel, believing we were in good hands. The house passed inspection with no issues - a red flag we ignored. For the first six months, everything seemed fine, but we soon discovered BTK had installed the wrong HVAC system for the house's size. Voepel was initially responsive, helping coordinate repairs. But then, things took a turn. There was a plumbing issue that cost $3K. After owning the house for four years, the second-to-last group of tenants (a group of unrelated individuals in a 5-bedroom home) moved out, and Voepel returned their deposit immediately without inspection. Voepel then charged us a several thousand dollars for the tenant's damages and mess, including blinds chewed up by a tenant's pet parrot (despite a "no animals" lease clause), reinstalled light fixtures the tenants deinstalled, non-standard broken tile in the bathroom, etc. Next, Voepel placed one of their OWN employees as a tenant. She then submitted countless unnecessary repair requests, always just below the $300 homeowner approval limit. We were forced to scrutinize every monthly statement and decipher the improvements that had been requested. This whole relationship was a mess at our sole expense. Worst investment ever. Having managed many properties myself, I highly recommend you manage your own properties. We don't live in KC, hence why we trusted Voepel. There's a learning curve, but you'll do a better job than these so-called professionals.

Voepel provided property management services for me from 2020 to 2022. Everything seemed…read morefine--until it wasn't. I was told that because I didn't own at least five properties, I was being dropped from their services. However, upon further discussion, it became clear that the real issue stemmed from a fractured relationship between Voepel and the turnkey company, Bridge Turnkey, which had soured--leaving me caught in the middle. Brent Voepel, the CEO, was largely unhelpful during the transition. His emails primarily pressured me to accept a final service date without offering meaningful assistance in securing a new property manager. He recommended one company, Scudo, which didn't even operate in the area of my rental. He also suggested Home River, but they failed to follow through on a scheduled meet-and-greet call and stopped responding to emails for weeks at a time. Meanwhile, Brent and his team provided no support in communicating with other property managers and made no effort to ensure a smooth handoff. Brent offered to help me sell the property, and since finding a new property manager was proving difficult, I considered selling to avoid further hassle. His team arranged for photography for the listing, but on the same day he had been pushing as the final service date, he abruptly dropped the property from management--despite the fact that a tenant was still under lease. In other words, he agreed to sell the property but refused to continue managing it in the meantime. Fortunately, I was able to secure property management with Farhad at PMI Station, who managed my rental from 2022 to 2024. It wasn't until Farhad facilitated a smooth handoff to another property manager that I realized just how poorly Voepel had handled my transition. I understand this is just one experience, but I wanted to share my story now that I've gone through a second property management transition. If that second transition had been anything like my experience with Voepel, I probably would have sold the property.

I lived there almost 3 years, never a late payment ever. Always let them know when something…read morewasn't working and they responded quickly. An ongoing problem was my front door wasn't opening. I would have to use my back door. One day I noticed that every room in my duplex was buckling and caving in. The floor between my living room and dining room buckled so badly I tripped over it. I immediately took pictures and informed them. It took 4 months of people coming in and out to fix that. 2 weeks later, my front door didn't open again. I let that go. One night my sister was visiting me and the temperature was-10 degrees and my old, old, old furnace stopped working! It was around 10 pm when I finally called the emergency number provided to me. No response. Called again and left a message. Got a call from Teresa Penner telling me to never call again with a tone in my voice. I asked what tone? I don't have heat! I asked why do you have an emergency number when there is noone coming out, it goes straight to you? 4 days later the furnace was replaced because it wasn't working! From that moment on I was treated poorly. I wanted to move out and informed them. I was told to break the lease I had to pay $500 for "release fees "and pay the next month rent, which I did. I paid February's rent, which had been raised through the years to $1115 , and turned in the keys February 14. I paid the $500 "release fee". I asked to be kept up to date. I wasn't. Finally got a response that there were major repairs that had to be done. Again asked, what repairs...no response. What major repairs? Lifting the house, putting braces under the house, digging 30 feet deep to do that are major repairs that I went through for 4 months. What major repairs are left? Again, nothing. I left that house so clean. They informed me they would be there February 17 at 8:30am to do the final walk through. I couldn't make it due to job and very short notice. Heard nothing about what happened, although I kept asking. They finally rented it March 17th, 1 month and 4 days later. I now owed for March rent. I asked why it took so long to rent. Again, no response. Waited to get some kind of return on my deposit. They waited just long enough to charge me for 17 days, which they took from my deposit. Received a letter from them with pictures trying to explain why I would not get a single dollar back from my deposit, but claiming I now owe them $45! I paid a full month rent, only there 14 days, paid $1050 deposit, received nothing from that, paid them $500 for "release fee", left the house clean and I get absolutely nothing back from my deposit and I owe them $45!!!. Please stay clear of this company because they only care about the owners. Renters are not important at all. So sad because owners are nothing without renters and that company is nothing without happy renters. Please stay clear of any property that is managed by Penner Property.
