Just wanted to take a moment to say how great an experience we had with Joe Murtha. He helped us to…read moreget a house sold for the price we were looking for, even with everything going on in the market. Also when the snowstorm of the century came through and threatened our final walkthrough and closing Joe went out and shoveled a path to the front door himself and managed to get someone out to plow the driveway. Excellent experience!

She paid close attention to every detail and kept us on track to concluding a successful deal. We closed yesterday and are very happy with how this has all turned out. We would recommend Nancy D.

This is the second time I've had Nancy Storino involved in selling a property in Watertown. Does…read moreanyone know the "North County" real estate market better than Nancy? I doubt it! She is tenacious. She is thorough. She is pleasant to work with. She is great even when the market is difficult. Also, the recommendations she makes for other professionals in the process are stellar. Lawyer? She recommended Paul Trimper and I have never had a more positive legal experience with any lawyer. Nancy goes "above and beyond" and we are very grateful. I heartily recommend Nancy and her staff for ALL your real estate needs.

I didn't believe it would ever happen, but today a minor miracle occurred. After four years and…read morethree failed deals, Micah Matteson finally sold our house in Watertown, NY! We could not have asked for a better, more honest, more forthright, harder working property manager and real estate agent than him. We followed him from another PM company to Berkshire Hathaway. He was definitely the best decision BH ever made. Anyone with property needs in upstate NY should run (not walk) to Micah Matteson at Berkshire Hathaway of CNY Thank you, Micah. So glad to finally call you just our friend

Shame, shame, shame. This owner rented a unit to a very young couple with a baby while the husband…read morewas serving our country. Upon move in it was filthy, filthy, disgusting. Dead bugs everywhere, dog shit on the floor and smelled like cat piss. The blinds looked like someone spit syrup all over them. The bathroom leaked. I could go on. The poor mother had rented from another state so being young she felt she didn't have much choice but to take it. Upon move out they had the nerve to charge $513 to clean the carpet upstairs. Yeah, the carpet they left dog shit on that smelled like cat piss. The square footage shouldn't have cost more than $165 at most. Truthfully they should have put new carpet down but hey what do you expect from a slumlord. Do not rent from this terrible person.

I've been with Sandy since she was at Clear Choice and things have been shaky but I'm too far away…read moreto do much about it. Late last year she apparently left Clear Choice and I didn't find out until I received an email that basically said "Sign this really fast so it releases your property from Clear Choice" Since then, she's been horrible to get ahold of, my property has been vacant for 6 months, AND when searching for it, found out she doesn't even have it listed for sale on the MLS!! I don't know how she is with her tenants but property owners BEWARE!! :( **UPDATE 9/4/2018*** I was contacted by Yelp HQ to validate my review as Bennett is trying to get my review removed!! Seriously?!? Your company was incredibly shady in 2015 and you're still shady in 2018?!? Wow... But never fear, I verified with Yelp HQ and I will verify here too. See my screenshot. Property management companies should be companies you can trust to be honest and fair not liars. Still in shock that your company is still this bad!

Don't judge the apartments by the look of the building's exterior which is warehouse/factory like, the interior apartments are very nicely renovated and make my guests gasp as soon as they step foot into my apartment. Maintenance issues are resolved in a timely manner and the maintenance staff here is pretty darn good. Hats off to Sam who did an awesome job on fixing my apartment's heating system this past October. Thank you Sam, I would have frozen to death and died without you. The area is a bit noisy, but that's usually the case for any location that's walking distance to the best restaurants and nightlife the town has to offer. Directly across the street from the apartment building is a great Coffee and Bakery shop called Starch Cafe which has definitely brought a much needed hip vibe to Watertown without the Starbucks prices. Besides, the primary parking lot, we also have two other options for parking, which come in handy. Rob, the owner is always polite, courteous and attentive to our needs. Rent is affordable and the property, like Rob's dog Alex, well maintained and cared for.

Said $125 was for painting when the apartment had not been painted for 2 tenants. It was normal wear and tear, not damage. This is not something that should be charged for; it's customary to have to paint between tenants. Had to threaten with legal action to get rest of security deposit back.

He would stall and claim he could not reach his client, avoid answering questions, and set the final walkthrough for the morning of the closing. Then when significant new damage was discovered during the walkthrough, he blamed us, refused to negotiate for repair costs, had someone do a terrible coverup job, insulted us repeatedly, and threatened to sue if we did not go through with the initial offer. We had no say in who the seller picked as a realtor, but please do not give this slimeball any of your business! (I highly recommend Stephen Gleason and William Leepy from NNY Realty instead)
