Nightmare Property Management Experience…read more I regret to say that my experience with this property management company has been nothing short of a disaster. Their complete lack of communication is astounding; it's like sending emails into a black hole. Not only do they charge exorbitant fees, but the services provided are so subpar that it feels like they're actively trying to let the property fall apart. Save yourself the headache and look elsewhere for a property management company that values its clients and their properties. Multiple emails went unanswered, make sure that you do not use this company as they will take your money but ignore your concerns. I came back to a property that did not have a washer or dryer inside when it had them before. Do not use this company.

I called a few places but after Jayne came over to the house to check it out and talk to me, I knew I wanted her company to handle the renting. The price was fair, communication very good and response to issues with the house, also very good. One of the best things about Spectrum is Jayne has good relations with plumbers, electricians, contractors, and furnace techs which is very helpful when something needs being taken care of. Whether you want to rent your place, or find a place to rent and live, I recommend Spectrum.

I'm unsure who reads these, but if you're one to do so... consider this an important read…read more My family moved from an apartment complex into one of the houses owned by HPM. Though the onboarding experience was rough and didn't feel the most welcoming, we persisted and found a beautiful home to rent. When we moved from onboarding to the move-in team, things improved quickly, and they were quick to accommodate an accelerated move-in date since the house was available. The rental experience after was seamless with an easy portal for payment, quick response for questions... but this is IMPORTANT part to read. On a Saturday afternoon we were running the washing machine when the septic system became overloaded and backed up. We were quick to shut off the water and ensure that the property would be safe, but Andrew at HPM took the brunt of very scared tenants, and treated us with humanity and dignity. Andrew was quick to respond and came the next day to take a look at the system. After a day of in-depth searching to find where the septic tank was and another day of waiting for the Septic company to arrive... Monday arrived and the tank was emptied. You could say that Andrew was prioritizing the property management aspect, but that's the furthest from the truth. He was patient and understanding while we called and were crude/frustrated. He took the time to gather information about what was going on, calming down us in the process, and explaining his process/method to the madness. He treated us better than we deserved in the moment, and was able to work quickly on resolving a very critical issue. Besides the onboarding experience, we have had nothing but a 110% effort put into our experience and wellbeing as tenants. We personally are grateful to Honest Property Management, and hope to stay at minimum within their property system... well hopefully indefinitely! But truly, I'd recommend anyone who's concerned about renting from HPM take those concerns, and talk to a member of the HPM team like Andrew. You won't regret it!

My roommates and I decided to rent from Mike and Pine State in the summer of 2018 when we looked at…read morea brand-new unit in Carmel. The unit itself was nice, but it was still filthy from the new construct - no big deal, seeing as Mike promised to have his cleaners go through and clean the place before we moved in. However, when we moved in, the cleaners had only swept the floors, and poorly at that. Sawdust was found in all of the drawers and cupboards, a rusty blade was left on the sink, drywall dust was caked on nearly every surface, a door and some paint buckets were left in our garage, and the floors still had drywall dust/grime all over it. According to our lease, we were to be given a "check-in list" to make sure that the unit was in order, but Mike failed to provide us with one. After that, we were told we could install an A/C unit at a cost of $30 a month, even though tenants are responsible for electricity and must have liability insurance. When asked about this, Pine State argued that it was because of the excess wear-and-tear that they cause - is that not what my security deposit is for? Mike also failed to notify tenants of potential arsenic contamination of our water supply and was very unprofessional when confronted on this issue. Mike is impossible to get into contact with, even during normal business hours. My roommate was locked out of our unit for nearly 4 hours before anyone from Pine State even CONTACTED him about the situation. He had called over a dozen times, but no one could be reached, and Pine State still charged him a $150 "lock out fee". The real issues started when we decided we wanted to move because we were tired of dealing with Mike and his "company". We figured our easiest option was to find someone ourselves to take over our lease. We were approved to sublet our unit, however, Pine State told us that we'd have to pay a $250 administration fee PER PERSON moving out of the unit (for us, that'd be a cool $750). When I looked over our lease, no where does it say that this fee was "per person", therefore we should not have to pay for 3 administration fees. When confronted on this issue, Mike was very unprofessional and threatened to revoke our subletting approval (which can be seen in the pictures attached). After we had decided to bite the bullet and legally deal with Mike after we had vacated our unit, we began our search for new tenants. We had found a very interested couple, who had sent all their needed information to Pine State to start the application process. Pine State took nearly 2 weeks to process these tenants and were unreachable during normal business hours (we called, texted, and even went into their office - only to find it closed on a Monday afternoon). Because Pine State did not contact anyone in a timely fashion, our potential tenants lost interest in our unit. We gave Mike a 30-day notice to vacate our unit and moved. Meanwhile, Mike and Pine State failed to make a reasonable effort to re-rent our vacant unit, which goes against Maine State Law (Landlord's duty to mitigate). We were given the option to pay a lease termination fee equal to 2 months rent (a nice $2700) at the end of January, but we felt that we shouldn't have to pay anything more because of Mike's lack of effort to re-rent our unit. The Maine State Attorney General's Office told us to pay the fee "under protest" and take legal action afterwards. Thankfully, our actual landlord (who we tried to contact before this all happened, but Pine State refused to give us their contact info) decided to terminate their agreement with Mike after we had only paid one half of our termination fee. Our landlord had no idea that we had moved out a month prior and had not received any termination fee from Mike, which brings us to the present day, where the landlord is fighting for our termination fee so it can be returned. The moral of the story is that Mike Conners of Pine State Property is extremely unprofessional and will do anything to get money out of his tenants and property owners.
