My partner and I came to New Haven with a carload of belongings and no place to stay. We were…read morelooking to move into an apartment before starting graduate studies, and we walked into Farnam Realty on a whim. (Bo, the greeter pup, was too cute to resist.) Carol and her team took very good care of us. As first-time renters, we needed all the help we could get! Carol listened attentively to what we wanted, and she showed us exactly that. She was honest about our budget and about the properties we viewed. All of her help was professional and encouraging. While we waited to arrange our lease, Farnam Realty Group helped us find a place to stay for the evening. Carol worked quickly and efficiently to move us into the right home. She even helped us negotiate a monthly rent that allowed us to remain on budget. Our lease was finalized within 24 hours of our first steps into the office. My partner and I are so grateful for Farnam Realty!

Greed, incompetence, and apparent hatred for their tenants. My partner rented from Farnam for seven years, but I couldn't tolerate more than one. After fixing up our poorly maintained apartment and receiving confirmation for a lease renewal, we were suddenly forced to relocate at tremendous personal expense. Farnam didn't even communicate this information to us; my partner had to leave work and drive to their office, as always, to find out they had lied to us yet again. (There are more horror stories that I won't even get into here.) All this strife so that landlord Carol could continue raising rents for the next sorry tenant. The brokers are friendly while coaxing you into a lease; after that point, they genuinely don't care whether you live or die. They will lie to you for no other reason than their own laziness and convenience, and that's only if you manage to get anyone to talk to you in the first place. I'm disgusted with Joey Felton and Zak Kampton, but I'm still not sure whether they're malicious or just incompetent. Carol Lopez-Horsford is evil. I heard her shouting and degrading the maintenance staff multiple times while I was a tenant, and she appears to be hated by all who have ever known her (including brokers who escaped to other companies). The maintenance workers were the only positive part of my experience, but even they couldn't manage to keep mice out of our apartment. Yes, New Haven has a pest problem, but it doesn't help when the house is literally full of holes. Of the four apartments I've rented in this city, Farnam's was the worst maintained and worst managed by far. We are thankful every day to no longer be in business with Farnam. It's harder to find a decent private landlord, but so worth the effort! P.S. It's common knowledge that they buy fake positive reviews. You can literally tell which ones those are on this Yelp page. Lies as always.

They provided a lot of useful feedback from showings, how we could improve the marketability of our house, and helped us navigate the offer and negotiation stage confidently. There is no doubt that the selling price, timeline of the sale, and ease of the closing process were the result of their efforts - it truly felt like a partnership, and their time and attention were fully invested from the very beginning through the final walk-through.

I worked most closely with Andrew and Melissa and I felt that they were consistently patient and professional, even when I wasn't the easiest to work with. I'm extremely grateful for being able to work with them to manage my tenant over the course of the lease and they seamlessly helped navigate the selling process when I opted to sell. From the beginning of our professional relationship, to the end, they were transparent, reassuring, and knowledgeable. I always felt like my home was in good hands!

I found David Lemel with Team Powerhouse by chance when I left him a voicemail to schedule a…read moreshowing for a home that he had listed. My husband, Josh, and I were casually looking for houses at the time (mostly just attending open houses for the prior six months) and we had not found a buyer's agent that we felt compelled to work with. David returned my call a few minutes later and let me know that the home I had expressed interest in was newly under contract. He asked questions about our current home buying situation and we spoke for an hour - it was a very informative and comfortable conversation. I felt an instant connection with David and we made plans to speak again that evening with Josh after he got home for work. My husband is a naturally skeptical person, especially when it comes to real estate. We had been through two prior home purchase experiences, one in Rhode Island and in Massachusetts. Each time we had terrible buyer representation from agents who seemed to be working in their self interest. Josh was especially left with a distaste for realtors and had a guard up. Despite his apprehension, Josh grudgingly agreed to speak with David. It was not instant for Josh, but over the weeks that followed, David proved that he was sincerely working to get us a home that we'd love, for the best possible price, and Josh quickly gained trust in him. David was highly knowledgeable about each town we were considering which was critical. Having only rented in Milford for two years after relocating from out of state, Josh and I were not sure which town made the most sense to raise our family in. David was candid about which towns to consider based on our desires and did not sugarcoat anything. David's level of communication is impeccable and unmatched. He always took time to call us and updated us on every step of the process. David was quickly available when we reached out to him, no matter what time of day or night it was. From the first conversation with David we knew his unique method of home shopping - each prospective buyer picks fifteen or so homes to see in one day, and by the end of that day they will know which home they want to purchase. We were thrilled with that (extreme house hunters-like) plan and when David explained the details about why this method is effective, it made so much sense. David created us an online account with all of the property listings in the towns we were considering, within our price range. Josh and I reviewed the listings and labeled each home as a Yes, Maybe, or No option. When the date for our house-hunting excursion was approaching, we went through the list of Yes and Maybe home options with David and narrowed the list down to the top twelve homes to see. When the day arrived David drove us to each home and took us out to lunch - it was fun! It was also very enlightening to see each home in one day, consecutively, to make an objective comparison of each property. By the end of the day we had seen two homes we loved and David reached out to the listing agents to get more insight. David was able to negotiate an extremely competitive price for us which gave us confidence that we got our home at the best possible price. We were so blown away with his expert negotiating skills from the initial offer to the inspection negotiations. David had recommended a mortgage broker to work with us, Jason Szerszen with Trademark Financial Group, LLC. Josh spoke with Jason but wanted to do some research and compare his rates and services with other loan officers that were recommended to us. After a few conversations with other providers it became evident that Jason's rates were the most competitive and he was the most knowledgeable. Jason made the mortgage process easy and the loan was cleared for closing before we finished inspection negotiations. We highly recommend Jason and are grateful that David had such a great mortgage guy! We were able to close even sooner than expected - just a month after our initial showing of the home we purchased! The closing could not have been a more pleasant experience. It was stress free, quick, and heartwarming. All of David's vendor recommendations have been top-notch, including the moving company, and our plumber and garage door repair person. We will continue to reach out to David for dependable vendor recommendations that come up in our new home. We never imagined meeting such a patient and caring individual; David was there through the entire process and was truly a pleasure to work with. David's professionalism, guidance, knowledge, honesty, and hard work ethic are much respected and appreciated. It never felt like David was just trying to sell us a house, but that he was a real estate consultant who was working on our behalf to help us make the best decision for our family. We will not only be references for life, but also friends. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you David Lemel and Team Powerhouse! We highly recommend David!
