If you are in need of a decent place, especially given the crazy rent prices... just be forewarned…read morewhen getting into business with this "management company." They "manage" a few rental buildings and properties in Biddeford. The maintenance team is awesome so from a tenant prospective the maintenance folks are awesome and really try and get your problem resolved and fixed as quickly as they can... Ethan is the best! As for dealing with the "property managers," you may have to take some deep breathes and just realize that their only concern is to collect your rent payment in the most shady of ways. You have to pay in cash, money order or check and physically drop it off at their office or send it through their PO Box. They never tell you where their physical office is and you can't find a valid and operating telephone number. Their "business" email addresses is @gmail.com. seriously, not even a valid company domain?! And you may end up getting your rent payment stolen if you drop it off or it does not "credited" to your account and then you end up having to scramble to find extra payments or they are real quick to start the eviction process; no questions asked. When you ask if you can pay electronically, they say they can't allow it. It's freaking 2022 and it's "too complicated" for them to just set up zelle or PayPal to get their tenants to pay?! The laundry room and machines are always out of service for one reason or another. The steps and sidewalks are often cracked and rundown. Sometimes the neighbors look like they are dealing with illegal stuff selling, promoting, etc. Again in a pinch, what you get for $1k - $1,300 for the unit isn't bad... but if you try and leave and do everything the right way including getting a professional cleaning service to come in to make sure you get your security deposit back; you won't. They reduce what they want and do not explain anything or have proof that they needed to do cleaning or fixes. Basically they just try to take your money in any way they can. They also never return phone calls or emails, and if they do you get a response back after 3 days at times and you always have to be after them. If you choose to renew your lease agreement, they never provide you with an updated agreement. They are not at all professional, no matter how small of a company you claim to be.... Being professional and giving the tenants the right paperwork and information they need for example when they need file their tax returns, like who should be listed as the landlord, etc has no limits. Every company no matter how big or small would normally provide this basic information early on and clearly upon entering into a lease agreement.

The property managers are rude, unhelpful and clearly lack experience. They refuse to take care of any issues with tenants that put others in danger. The tenant rules listed within the lease are not followed and NOT enforced. That being said, if you want an apartment where people smoke inside the building, have loud parties, liter the grounds, have the cops called and god only knows what else- this is the rental company to go to. Any decent review see on here is from a friend or partner of the owner.

I had Dan Viehmann install a CAST landscaping light transformer and bullet lights in my backyard…read more The initial result was quite positive. Then the lights began to fail. The first light that was inoperable, was within a year of installation and Dan was able to fix it. This second year, four of the lights became inoperable. Dan's business said they would come out to the house to assess. They failed to appear. I contacted them again and they apologized and indicated they would come out ....to no avail. Seems unprofessional to say you will do something and just no show. Certainly would consider this if you are considering utilizing their services.

Their many apartments - in different parts of the city - are carefully furnished and extremely well taken care of. We found the other renters all to be considerate, private and quite folks and we felt quickly "at home". All staff has always been efficient and most helpful. The kind owner of the rental company even welcomed us in person to both apartments. We heartily recommend Portland Maine Rentals to people seeking a monthly or seasonal rental in the wonderful city of Portland ME. (Two European-Americans)

And never have I made a more detrimental financial mistake that is as bad as choosing ascend to manage my property. While I can't discuss some things in their entirety -- it has been a nightmare, an absolutely gross oversight of their duties that's costing me and there's no end in sight. The staff will not call you, or answer about 60% of emails, the owner thinks it's beneath him to reach out personally to try and be helpful. Money has been lost and mismanaged 2-3 times now and no single month feels consistent. I never know what's happening with my home, the condition of it, and now I'm getting hit with legal fees and have a lien on my property from the delinquency of Ascend not have utilities properly switched. If you're an ascend client- check your ledgers carefully. If you're not--- run don't walk. Now I'm being threatened by them with retaliatory billing practices because I am not keeping quiet anymore , try any other company besides them.
