However, my experience with Regina Welch , from Dar Walden who listed our home was not a very good one. We had worked with another realtor (different agency) in the recent past who helped sell our business property. That experience was good, but we decided to try someone else as the previous realtor was not available to meet our needs. We interviewed several realtors and we decided on Regina. She seemed professional and seemed like she would be the right person to list our home. She suggested we list our house for $825,000. This is $25,000 below what I really wanted to list for and what other realtors had suggested. However, we reluctantly agreed. She suggested it may bring multiple buyers and that we wouldn't want to miss the great opportunity in the market. Right before we listed, she discussed that she had "someone" interested in touring the home prior to listing. However, my husband and I decided that we would just list the house and accept good offers instead of being boxed in by a buyer. There was immediate interest in the home with several tours. We received an offer from who we later learned may be known to Regina as one of them was a realtor as well. Immediately, we got the sense that my husband and I were on our own as Regina was not working for us. Everything was about the buyers this, the buyers that. Regina could sense my frustrations during one of our conversations as she tried to appease me by saying she was working for us. Yeah right! The buyers repeatedly gave short time frames to reply to counter offers which we always had to push back on. The buyers gave us a low ball offer and later came up with an EXAGGERATED and very EXTENSIVE repair list. We could not agree despite Regina reminding us that we didn't have another offer. It seemed as if she working so hard to keep the deal (for the buyers). At one point, Regina told us that it was the buyers first time buying a home as the reasons they were being so hard-nosed with repair requests, etc. That was not true. We looked up public records and saw that the female buyers owned a house nearby home. Needless to say the first deal fell through. Thank God! Since we didn't fully trust Regina, we decided to order a private appraisal on our own so we would know our bottom line price. Well, that appraiser, unbeknownst to us, contacted Regina, even though they assured us that it will be private. So it was also very suspicious when i received a text from Regina asking if we ordered an appraisal. We then put the house back on the market after we reduce the price slightly so we could sell faster and move out of the State. Guess who came back with an offer? The same couple! This time they were less demanding, but we still didn't trust them. It just seemed like everyone was working together. Fast forward to closing, it was one of the most long and frustrating process we have ever enduranced. We were told that the buyers were strong buyers when we kept asking why the underwriting process was taking so long which had reached almost two weeks past closing date. We believe that the buyers were having issues with their finances or credit history, but Regina reassuring us that was not the case. She acted as if she knew the buyers situation so well. When we were finally able to sign final papers, we noticed that only ONE of the buyers was now listed (the male).The woman buyer was no longer listed. We assumed she was probably the reason we went through such a long and agonizing closing process. But, Regina did not feel the need to tell us about change in the buyers. I would imagine a good realtor would be transparent and inform us of the change. We strongly believe that Regina worked very hard to make sure those particular buyers were the ones that were able to buy the house. I will also add that Regina did the bare minimum. We supplied about 4 of the photos as we knew earlier on that we needed to be proactive. We wish the buyers well in the house, but the process that they all used gatekeep was troublesome. We are just glad to be done. I felt we couldn't tell her much as we didn't want any retaliation. We were pressed for time as we were relocating to another state. It was one of the most stressful house selling process ever! I would not recommend Regina or this agency! I am sure this review may be removed by this agency or they'll come up with some excuses!

Recently moved into a Paragon property after scouring Anchorage for something clean, safe,…read moreaffordable and well maintained. Paragon's property in UMed was the only property that we found available during our time period that met our parameters. In other instances, many other property managers were very difficult to connect with to actually see the apartment. Our manager was extremely responsive and went out of her way to ensure that the process went smoothly. Our previous managers were a nightmare, and difficult to reach- Paragon worked with us until we sorted out all the required boxes had been ticked. They are definitely careful about who they accept as tennants and won't let anything slide. The result is our new residence is quiet, our neighbors are practically invisible... it's like heaven. The building, side walks and parking lot are maintained, even when there's 3 feet if snow. Their app for payment is a breeze, and it'd easy to reach them via email OR if you call them, they actually answer the phone. Trust me, this is not the norm in this town! After my recent move, I've learned that many landlords are using 3rd parties and things go right to voice mail. The apartments are small, but they have nice touches like marble sinks, granite counters and new flooring. Paragon does have high expectations for their tennants- no pets (not even fish), quiet time starts at 8, no smoking, there is no extra parking. Basically anything to damage the apartments or disturb other tennants is not tolerated. But when you're old and grumpy like us, this is just what we wanted. Peace. FINALLY. _____ I would also like to comment on the other reviewers concerns concerning the nit-picking affecting their deposit. My husband spent the last decade as an apartment manager and repairman- so this is an area I am all-too familiar with. Smart owners and managers place your deposit in an account specifically for capital repairs. It's my observation in the time I've been here, that's what Paragon appears to be doing- which is good business. It ensures the property doesn't deteriorate. They are under no obligation to return your deposit since in all likelihood damages WILL occur, no matter how careful you are. Tennants should not expect their return back- if you get something back, you're lucky. Landlords spend hours, often days, addressing repairs after a move-out- no matter how careful or clean you were. At the Paragon apartment I just moved into, I watched their repairman spend 3 weeks making an apartment ready for a new tennant. That's a lot of hours of labor and supplies. Do the math- that adds up to more than your deposit. Granted that's not always the case, but I can't tell you from my husband's experiences as a landlord, this is very common. As a tennant there are a lot of things that go on to capital repairs and maintenance that tennants don't think about. Its the freedom of being a tennantand not a homeowner. (Does your roof NOT leak? Do you NOT have mold, mice, roaches? Do the washers work? Do the dumpster get emptied? Do you have hot water and heat? Snow removal happening? - All of this stuff happens because your landlord is doing their job behind the scenes.) So take that what for what it's worth and think twice about complaining about not getting your deposit back.

It's been my experience that some residents will completely disregard HOA rules thinking that those rules should apply to everyone but them. I understand why the board makes its rules, and I assume the board is flexible enough to make exceptions when there is a logical and reasonable need to temporarily suspend a rule to gracefully accommodate a short term situation. But as a homeowner who is concerned about maintaining property values and likewise concerned about living in a safe and peaceful environment, I'm glad those rules are being enforced by a property management company like Cantrell Property Management with the backbone to do the right thing. Their business model has been shown to always be reasonable and fare in dealing with tenant issues. That's all that matters.
