Bruce Tanhoff is knowledgeable, kind, available and, above all, honest. I've worked with many…read morerealtors before, and I often felt like I was being "sold" on properties I didn't want so the realtor could make a quick commission. If I pointed out flaws or needed repairs, I'd hear, "Oh, that's just cosmetic," or, "Live with it for a while and switch it out when you can afford it." But the thing is, when those items start to add up, it can cost tens of thousands of dollars, and that's what made shopping for a home with Bruce such a comfort. He pointed out repairs and issues before I even saw them. He listed the positives AND negatives to ensure I knew exactly what I'd be getting into. If he thought a placed needed updates and repairs but thought the neighborhood was worth the investment, he'd say that. And when he thought the opposite was true and a home wasn't worth the asking price, he never made me feel like I'd wasted an hour of his time touring it. To the contrary, he finds value in showing clients an array of houses to help narrow down exactly what kind of home will make them happy. And that's exactly what happened. I found the perfect home, and it only took a few weeks. A real bonus is Bruce's extensive knowledge of the "nuts and bolts" that the average person might not know - the life span of a furnace, the average cost of flooring, why that weird electric box is hanging in the crawl space. Also, his agency is offering the Home for Heroes program, which gives cash back to home buyers at closing who are firefighters, law enforcement, EMS, Military and veterans, healthcare and teachers. The funds come out of his commission, and he's happy to offer it. If I buy or sell again, he's the only person I'll call.

I lived at Meadowview Townhomes in Sleepy Eye for 3+ years. SMR took over management about halfway…read morethrough my stay, and things continually went downhill from there. Maintenance requests were ignored, nothing was done when I called the police about domestic assault/noise complaints and reported it to management, and our rent was increased by $100 per month for "property improvements". When I finally decided I had enough of this nightmare, I did my part to clean up the apartment in order to receive my deposit back. I had the carpet professionally cleaned, scrubbed both the toilets for over an hour, and made sure I left everything in better condition than when I moved in. I even bought four new blinds for the windows (totaling $260) because I wanted the new residents to have a better experience than I did. I received my deposit in the mail 2 weeks after moving out, but they had deducted over $300 in charges/fines. Some of the items listed were completely out of my control, such as hard-water stains in the toilet (they were there when we moved in, we were also never provided a water softener, and then told that we would have to buy our own water softener if we wanted one). Additionally, there was a master lock half-installed into the bedroom door, but I figured it would be fixed eventually so I didn't mind. I was just excited to move into the apartment. This was deducted from my deposit and required 2 hours of maintenance (???) to fix. $40 stolen out of my pocket ($20 per hour). I mentioned before that I had the carpet professionally cleaned, but I was charged $125 because I didn't leave management a receipt, which was never mentioned on any paperwork. Furthermore, they added on ridiculous fines: $16 for "glass globes". I asked management what these were and where these were replaced, and I was told I would need to speak to her boss about it (?). Definitely not the right answer. I could list about 100 other things wrong with Meadowview Townhomes, but I think you get the picture. SMR has the audacity to steal from their residents' pockets in order to fix their rundown apartment complex. The extra $100 per month they added to everyone's rent went towards a new sidewalk... which only ran from the street to the managers office. What a disaster. Drugs, violence, and constant law enforcement at the apartments. I was trying to raise my newborn daughter here. TERRIBLE IDEA. I didn't get very far after complaining to management, and I figured I wasn't going to receive any further reimbursement. 0/10. Worst experience I've ever had renting. If anyone ever asks me about Meadowview Townhomes, I will steer them as far away as possible. Please pass this on if you ever hear anybody interested in living at Meadowview Apartments in Sleepy Eye.

They allow you to have pets. My dog loves having some friends and they are also putting in a dog park in our backyard. There is a bus system that runs through the apartment complex that is free to ride for students. It comes at convenient times and get me to my classes on time. Overall, this is a fun place to live. It has a volleyball court, basketball court, fields to play football and soccer in, a pool, and a frolf course. I never have issues with parking and the maintenance crew is on point and efficient for the most part. Rent is pretty good if you compare it with other common student housing around campus. Overall great place to live and I would recommend it as a MNSU student.

The other two in the office do not listen to tenant's concerns and will disregard anything that is said because they do not think people are serious.

It was like they rushed to get the apartment to be "move in" ready when it wasn't. There was gum stuck on the balcony, the trim was damaged, paint was chipped, etc. If I were you I wouldn't live here no matter how convenient it is.
