She didn't…read moresimply guide us through the process (which, I'll add, she did so wonderfully), but she really cared about finding the exact right fit for us. She never pushed us to make a decision too quickly, tried to convince us that we needed something more expensive than our range, or tried to brush away our concerns in favor of trying to close a deal. In fact, Melanie's knowledge and attention to detail caught red flags in properties that we never would have known to look for, saving us wasted time or even major headaches had we moved forward with those properties! Melanie is extremely detail-oriented and frequently was reaching out with properties she thought were a good fit (and they genuinely were properties that met our specific requirements -- not some general email blast). She is also extremely responsive and very fast at setting up showings, which is so crucial in such a fast-paced market. When we finally found "the one", Melanie worked tirelessly to make sure we closed quickly and on time. She even helped us negotiate with the seller after the inspection to put some money back in our pockets. She really didn't have to do that, as she knew the deal was going to go through regardless. But she genuinely went above and beyond what she had to do, and for that we are so grateful. In fact, we raved about Melanie so much that the owner of the condo we were renting hired her to sell the condo after we moved out (it closed in less than two months!!)

Selling a home is extremely stressful. In my case, I was living in a different state and cleaning out the home on weekends and vacations.

I highly recommend Jack Hill to anyone looking to buy or sell.

I was visiting New Haven the next week, and they said they had a few properties in my price range and told me to stop by. The minute I walked into CA White, I was greeted with sincerity and professionalism. Linda is an absolute pleasure to deal with. She's fair, kind, and has always been responsive. I looked at one of their luxury 2 bedrooms earlier, which was beautiful, but I was looking for something a little more modest. I ended up signing onto an apartment at 84 Howe St (Campus View), and while it's an old building, it's well maintained, really fairly priced, and located in a safe area and convenient distance from Yale. I really recommend renting through CA White!

The apartment had sat like that for over a month. Luckily, I did not have to move in on that day and we waited 2 days for a cleaning crew to do an okay job.

One of my blinds broke one morning, and I had a new one delivered to the door of my unit within 1-2 business days (I installed it myself due to COVID). Our unit has also been really well maintained -- the walls are relatively thick from room to room, and between floors. I also really appreciate that the exterminator comes once a month, which has offered a lot of peace of mind. The only thing that would be nice is if we could sell furniture to the next tenants and leave furniture for them in the apartment -- ECP does require you to move everything out between leases so that they can deep clean the apartment and the floors, which is wonderful, but it's the only thing I would want to change about my experience, and not a big deal in the larger scheme of things. Not having to worry about a landlord trying to nickel and dime me, or not responding to maintenance requests has been great.Overall, it's been a delight renting with ECP!

But why would you ever want to live in a place where I went by just to check it out and it was like walking through a retirement home. There are basically 1,000 rules. HOA fees vary based on the bedrooms. Parking is an additional cost despite your HOA fees alone for a 1 bedroom 750 square foot apartment (these aren't condos) is about $1,100 a month. That is equivalent to a mortgage payment alone of purchasing a $230,000 3 bedroom+ house. Then if you're looking for even a 2 bedroom place. Just take a look at the numbers. The nicest one on the market is a 3 bedroom/2 bath for $130K with HOAs at $1,800 a month. That is equivalent to a $2,600 TOTAL payment mortgage+HOA+insurance+taxes & $2 per month per square foot. You could get a $350K house and pay about the same per month. Not to mention, New Haven isn't a Boston or New York or LA or San Francisco where living in the heart of Downtown with a balcony is that amazing of an idea. Not to mention if you're on one of the higher floors it will take you 3-5 minutes just to get to the lobby.
