As stated in previous reviews, Jon does not know how to talk to people or answer a question without getting angry and swearing. Worst realtor that I have ever spoken to in over 24 years in the real estate business. There are much better options for realtors in the area. They have definitely earned their "F" rating from the BBB.

We contacted Rosie a year before we were ready to sell our home in Brookfield, and she walked us…read morethrough what we should do to make it ready to put on the market. When we were ready, we met with her again and she gave us amazing staging advice. In addition, she was realistic about how much we would be able to sell for and her list price was much higher than other agents we had spoken to beforehand. When it came time to list, Rosie was available to answer all our questions and walked us through the process. It was seamless. In the end, we got a full ask offer in 8 days, even before our open house. We ended up closing for above ask...our house was the highest priced 2 bedroom that sold in the area. It's true what Rosie says...nobody sells the neighborhood like a neighbor. I would recommend her without hesitation. She knows her stuff!

Pros: Location is great. Central to everything. Great school district…read more Pool and billards. Free printing available. Trash service. Bike storage area with no issues finding space. Clean mail room. Nice lounge areas. Vending machine. Apartments are ok in sound prevention. When we found a roach they did have someone out to spray in 2 days. Only seen 2 roaches. Never any mice or any other pests. Maintenance is great. Especially the young man with the glasses. He was also so helpful and seemed to love his job. Most of appliances are newer. They have a sprinkler system in each apartment but smoke alarms in apartment are very sensitive so becareful cooking. In unit laundry. Allow pets and large dogs. A park right behind the building. Cons: Reserving rooms isn't guaranteed. Reserved conferences room over 24 hour a head of time for noon one day and management was using it at that time for an interview. Clearly they don't check that kind of thing. Pot smoke is often pretty strong in areas. Pool can be too busy to enjoy especially on weekend. The dog "spa" is lacking basic thing like a decent sprayer. You have to go through very gross smelly garbage area to take your bike out for a ride. Also, same place you move in and out of. Garbage doesn't get picked up on Friday and Sat. Garbage shoot can sometimes back up. Only 2 elevators. ADA doors to get to elevators but not garages. Cost of parking is $100+ depending on covered or not. Cost in general. Not a fan of rent pricing based on time of signing. My apartment was 400 less than my neighbor with the exact apartment Floorplan when they moved in. Also, found a similar apartment complex with more amenities for $500 less than what my rent was and $200 less to get a 2 bd room. But again you're paying for location. You can't get a temporary key for your front door if you have guests for a few day. Like when my daughter came to visit for the weekend. I could give her one for the building door with an app but not my apartment door. Also, you get a fob for the apartment door so if the batteries die you can't get in. Need then to contact office. I didn't like not having no safety lock once inside. Construction is not the greatest. My drawers were never put in securely so they kept coming off track. Have to call Maintenance often for. My light above island wasn't put in straight and flooring in bathroom wasn't put in well. But these didn't affect my living there. Just noticed they charge high rent but build on a budget feel. When moving out they offer clean service for $200 and carpet cleaning for $200 but when I moved in there was a ton of dog hair still left and some cleaning I still had to do when I moved in. Like removing mold from the water spout in the fridge. I refused to use the dog area. Not clean all the time. I will update about my move out experience once it's complete.

Moved in 2 weeks ago and here are my thoughts so far…read more.. Negatives: -Dealing with the leasing office is very difficult here. I have been leasing for the last 7 years and never had the amount of difficulty getting to the part of signing the lease than I did with this place. Every time you send a document of verification they then said they need something else and that will go on for a week. Then you start getting quotes for the lease terms... if you don't answer same day, the next day you will get a new set of quotes for the same unit and lease terms as they are AI generated DAILY. Absolutely ridiculous. Took about 2.5 weeks to finally sign a lease. - Move in day came. The first day and a half was fine until we started unpacking and opening cabinets. The unit was not cleaned at all. Every cabinet had spices and simple syrup all over them. There was even a package of overnight oats still in the cabinet. The water and ice dispenser had mold on it and the dishwasher was clogged with chunks of food. When you wash your clothes brown flakes of what I assume is dirt is on them and then it doesn't dry bc there is so much lint in the dryer from the prior tenant. -Currently under change of management which we only know from reading a note on other people's door (we never got one) which means you do not have access to get a code for the package room and the app doesn't work - Common areas especially doors leading to the elevators and the elevators are dirty. If anything gets dirty over the weekend like the dog wash station it is not cleaned until during the week - Even though you pay for trash removal you have to pay an additional $25 mandatory fee to have your trash picked up at your door. There are trash shoots on every floor which we use because we are not just leaving our trash piled up at our door? Positives: - Nice pool, gym and lounge areas. Have not had the opportunity to use them yet to tell if anyone cleans these areas -Covered parking available for an extra fee - Great location with a nice park behind it - Maintenance is pretty good. Told them about the mold in the ice dispenser and the food in the dishwasher and they came and cleaned it next day. Also told them that the hot water only lasted 10 min and it seems like it's fixed now Overall, pretty frustrated at how difficult the process was and how dirty the apartment was left. Hoping the new management is better. To be fair, I could have forgotten the headache of the leasing office if the apartment was cleaned prior to move in as I understand their verification process is not a process set up by them, rather their management. However, to hand over the keys knowing no one cleaned the unit is really unacceptable.

Inquired online and requested info. Sales lady emailed me back saying she was booked for the day…read more Since I didn't see the email and was out looking at other apartments, I decided to stop in around noon. She got up from her desk and gave me a folder and wrote some info down as well. Registered my visit and sounded like everything she said was memorized (rote), while writing additional info down. There was no nice greeting or interest in me and what I was looking for. She lacked any kind of enthusiasm. Even said they, at times they have a wait list (I guess to create urgency). I asked if I could see the model or go through an apartment, her reply was that there wasn't any to walk. Very old school operation - even original owners 'old portraits' are up on the wall along with old pictures of the complex. I grew up here and am familiar with Homestead Apartments but they do need to do a few updates - mainly their HVAC systems. Only one A/C unit with each apt (some may have 2) because they have to be on the back of the buildings. I can understand that window units on the fronts would look bad. I asked if they had considered 'splits' for the living room areas. She kind of laughed and said 'no' they won't be doing that. A split is like the hotel a/c and can be added to older buildings (Homestead didn't have A/C when built in the 50's). Super easy fix (I work in New Home sales myself). Well, my reply to her was that they will some day!!! She's been there for years and you can tell she isn't so enthused and is more of a property manager. She's even a Licensed Realtor and you have to sign something saying you agree to use her on this deal (yes you can get paid by your boss!). I asked, 'oh so I can bring my own realtor in?' And her reply was 'no'. So she's actually an independent contractor and not an employee??? Hmmm interesting. Again, old school and says a lot. Anyway, they won't offer any short term arrangement so I'm out, but sounds like they won't miss me either (lol).

The building we're in has had constant heating issues since Fall of 2024. It's currently Spring of 2025. After constant calls and work orders, it's still not fixed. When a resident asked when this problem would be fixed, they got the answer: "I don't know I'm not an engineer," from one of the property managers. Will we be compensated for having to use our AC and fans in the Winter???? I sincerely doubt it. There has been a history of maintenance entering our apartments and leaving a complete mess, and not putting things back afterwards. Residents have come home to complete messes due to maintence. Most of the time, they dont even really fix anything. They do cheap fixes that don't even last a day. A resident has complained of mold in the walls. The resident was blamed by property management, despite the resident having a humidifier on nonstop. We are paying YOU for a home. Do your jobs, or find another one. Many residents are fed up with the poor management that's been in place for years. When will enough be enough? I will amend my review when these issues are fixed. These problems are too much and too frequent to be left alone. As it stands, this is unacceptable.

Everyone who works at the firm is either related or has worked there forever and they take extreme pride in their work. It shows when you visit one of their homes- they feel solid and you can tell the home is exceptional quality. Building a custom home is difficult and challenging but the team made it as seamless as possible. They were communicative, thoughtful and kind throughout the process. It's not cheap but you get what you pay for- which we appreciate greatly having come from a home where the builder cut corners. The team, software and tradespeople were best in class. The vendors they use are excellent and they are open to clients using their own. Our site superintendent was absolutely fantastic and ran the site like a tight ship- helping us deliver on our timeline even in the middle of a pandemic.
