Residential Realty hired their own plumber to come out and they tried to gain access to my condo at 1030pm at night and I was already asleep. 2 weeks go by and I get a bill for $2k.

Today I get notified that the issue still persists and I owe them $2k without them fixing a damn thing. I guess the small guy always gets stepped on.

In the past they would issue unfounded and unwarranted violations to my property. When I questioned their source and showed proof the violations had nothing to do with my property they continued issuing violations. I found out it was from the toxic neighbors who I believe were targeting my property since it was a rental and were notifying the HOA who didn't do ANY fact checking. This isn't the only issue with them and it's clear they are completely out of touch with the residential community. Fast forward to moving on from this nonsense... I recently ( 7/2024 ) sold the townhome property in the Riverchase condo community in Maryland under them as the HOA managers. Closing was 2 months ago and they were notified of the sale and knew I was no longer the owner and yet, and YET I am still getting notices for monthly payment of fees AND the kicker, they had the nerve to send it to collections. I received a first invoice for August just after closing and was told by the HOA that it would take 2 weeks to record new ownership. Apparently not true and I believe any conversations had with them cannot be trusted. Clearly there is a disconnect in this organization and they could care less since it's not affecting them. I've asked my title company to reach out to them AGAIN to get what ever documents resent to the HOA to show I am no longer responsible and PAID up to the closing. At the day of closing, all fees were paid to those owed. I had to send all my documentation showing I owe NOTHING to First Service since the collections agency is who I need to dispute this action with in order to not have my credit affected. I just wonder if they are sending ME notices, what are they sending to the new owner and is she paying like she's supposed to? But it's a "I just wonder" I really don't care. It's the next day after writing this review and I had to come back to make a comment about this. I got in touch with I'm assuming First Service internal collection agency, which has the same address as FS. I'm sure that there's a conflict of interest there somewhere. Anyway, I spoke to someone and explained I no longer own the property for which they are trying to collect fees from me. I told her Alicia Menefee, who is titled as the community association manager for FS at Riverchase, said to me in an email that it would take two weeks to change my name and remove it as owner of record. According to the person I spoke with, it takes 30 to 45 days. Here's the kicker if it takes that long to do a records update, have a process in place so that FS is not sending bogus information to collections to ruin the lives of people because of your own ineptness to properly update and monitor sales transactions. And why is Alicia Menefee giving out false information?

This HOA property management company operates extremely poorly! They have horrible customer…read moreservice with terrible customer service communication! We attempted to reach our "account portfolio manager", Marissa Freeman, through her direct phone number, and we left multiple VM messages on her direct number but to no avail -- no return call! We called her direct number and left 3-4 direct messages on her number over more than a week's time and we never received one return call. We called the 24/7 customer service number 3 times asking for a return call and got none. We called the 24/7 customer service number an additional 3 times complaining about NOT RECEIVING the courtesy of a return call after MULTIPLE attempts and messages left -- and asked for the call to be elevated and escalated to an urgent level strictly in the attempt to GET A RETURN CALL which the customer service rep said would happen. The elevated call we were told would go to our rep, Marissa Freeman, as well as additionally to her supervisor, Rebecca Clemson-Petrik (the Regional Director) -- and that we would get a return call in their standard practice 24-48 hours. Over 10 days (way beyond the 24-48 hours suggested) we made approximately 8 calls (3 elevated to that urgent return call request) and NONE of our calls and messages were responded to by Marissa or anyone from FSR -- very frustrating and very disappointing from our early interactions with his HOA administration company! Went to their local office last Thursday @3:45pm- (and based on a sign taped to their door -- on a day they operate and are open and during operating hours Tuesday-Thursday 8:30-4:30) - and the office was closed, lights off and empty. After no return calls over 10 days, returned to their local office this Thursday @10::30am, the office was occupied by 5 employees-- among which was our HOA portfolio manager, Marissa Freeman. Discussed their companies POOR customer service and lack of communication in not returning any of the 8 messages and VM left for her or anyone. Ms. Freeman had no answers except to say she never received any of the direct VM messages nor any of the messages or escalated messages left for her through the 24/7 number and she will have to look into the matters --1) "an apparent broken phone VM app" that she NEVER received any of the VM messages left for her on her direct number; 2) that the 3 phone requests to the 24/7 number she did not receive any notice of to generate a return call - saying that the calls were "closed as resolved through the 24/7 number" so she NEVER got the message; and 3) the additional 3 calls to the 24/7 number that were requested and we were told would be elevated and escalated to urgent to facilitate a return call from Marissa or anyone -- WERE NOT -- and were also "closed as resolved through the 24/7 number" -- so again she NEVER got the messages supposedly. No satisfaction and no real answers to the POOR service and lack of service regarding returning our calls-- only non-satisfactory non-answers to justify why she did not do her job and follow-up and follow through with returning a call to a customer. Just a lot of passing the buck and blaming others saying their must be some other explanations that she "needs to look into" to figure out why she never received any of our 8 message requests for a return call -- PLEASE -- I am not that gullible to believe she did not get any of our 8 messages asking for a return call! In addition to the general lack of and POOR customer service and explanations, both our HOA portfolio manager, Marissa Freeman, and her associate (another HOA portfolio manage - Alicia Menefee) were both rude and not very understanding regarding the frustration a customer is appropriately having because of not getting a return call from 8 messages left in 10 days. Lastly, the entire reason for all of the calls -- about not receiving our coupon book to make payments -- was glossed over with the statement "Looks like you should have received it, but I'll put in a request to send you out another coupon book".

As an active-duty military service member stationed over 2,000 miles away, I trusted Chesapeake…read moreProperty Management and their real estate team to care for my home. That trust has been completely destroyed. After months of poor showing feedback, I repeatedly asked about the condition of my home and the reported odors. I was assured everything was fine and that it only needed a little paint and new carpet. Unable to get straight answers, I flew over 2,000 miles to inspect the property myself. What I found was unacceptable. The home was listed for sale in a filthy condition with an overwhelming dog urine odor. The laundry room and garage, where the dog had been confined, smelled terrible, and the damage to the laundry room door was obvious. These were not minor issues, and there is no way they went unnoticed. The most disappointing part is the lack of honesty and communication. Had anyone simply told me the truth, I would have immediately approved deep cleaning and repairs instead of allowing my home to sit on the market in a condition that likely drove buyers away. After paying Chesapeake Property Management for more than two years, I expected my investment to be protected--not neglected. I have lost all confidence in Linda, Mary, and everyone involved in managing and marketing my home. As a military family, we depend on property managers because we can't simply stop by to check on our homes. I should never have had to travel across the country just to learn the true condition of my own property. After seeing the condition of the home I fully understood why it did not sell, I myself would have never purchased this house in this condition.

So far in the last several months this has been my personal experience as a property owner. Please…read moretake what you will from it. Linda will tell you to "calm down" with whenever you provide feedback on basic customer service skills of her associates that were unsatisfactory. It felt that no one takes their clients here seriously with basic respect and professionalism that they deserve as paying consumers. The property managers are defensive or ignore any sort of negative feedback without taking any accountability whatsoever. There also seems to be a of forwarding any issues to Linda (the matriarch) rather than being able to resolve conflict or problems on their own. They are not responsive with respect to correspondence and take days to respond, when a typical expectation is to respond within at least one business day. I have also overheard them insulting clients over the phone in one particular instance, which was unprofessional. Property emergencies were handled frantically and they did some decision-making on their own without my authorization which caused additional issues. I also experienced problems receiving clear communications about what to do with the insurance process when damages to my property occurred. It could have simply been a template email on what the next steps with a reasonable timeline and what to expect in order to avoid this problem. Administratively, documents were not updated into the portal in a timely manner which was frustrating. I had to make sure to save all docs on my own (suspecting that this would happen) so that I did not have to chase people around. This is also family owned so perhaps nepotism is at play here. The overall aspect of servicing clients feels as if they are complacent and not willing to grow as they are not very service oriented and have outdated management styles that do not fit the demands of what clients need today. Now that my tenant has vacated, it has been almost a month since the property managers have not even bothered to contact me on what the next steps would be for that. On the plus side, they did recommend a good insurance agent for landlord's health insurance.
