I did text him on Christmas Eve, but only to remind him I was still waiting for info on a house I had asked about Tuesday that he said he'd send by the end of that day Tuesday and never did. I saw that the house went pending on Saturday, but he FINALLY reached out today to get an offer started, without even sending me the house info. No mention of it being pending. I told him I saw it was already pending, an hour later he responded that he just saw. A realtor should know this stuff before their client! I never asked him to put in an offer, just reminded him he still hadn't sent me info and to please send it whenever he had time. He had a history of forgetting to send me things or saying he'd do something and then not doing it. It also felt like he kept pushing one house on me (the Lucerne house he mentions that I did not want to make an offer on) instead of providing info on other ones. I dodged a bullet with him and Jim Maloof because after I told him we weren't a good match, he responded in a VERY unprofessional, rude, and insulting manner. Stay away from these guys unless you want an unprofessional agent who throws tantrums!

If we called her or emailed her she was right back with us giving us the answer to our question.

As my wife and I married in May directly following graduation from college, my wife and I had to…read moremake a very quick move to the Peoria area for my career the following month. We had less then a week to find and sign with an apartment, and Cape Cod Village caught my eye. We made the several hour drive out to the area to look at a few other apartments, but once we stopped at Cape Cod, we knew this was were we wanted and signed within 2 hours. From the beginning, the staff has been absolutely incredible which greatly contrast the landlords of a college town. While with the latter I felt I was being deprived of any amounts of cash for this and that with little support, I feel that Cape Cod has genuine concern for all the residents and are extremely proactive in maintenance and care. Rather than just repairing issues, Cape Cod continually contacts us in advance and ask if there are any concerns we have or if they are going to update anything around our home. They just repaved the entire parking lot, and still continue to make improvements around our home including updating our AC to a smart controller. The club house amenities have been deeply appreciated this year with COVID as they opened the pool to residents over the summer and had it staffed full time to check temperatures and be cleaned between guest. The gym which is surprisingly nice has also remained open to us and cleaning supplies have been provided to sanitize equipment. While there are not bars or benches with free weights, the gym is very well equipped with machines and dumbbells with space for stretching and warm-ups. While it may not be enough for hard-core gymrats (there are full gyms in the area to be a member of if so), it has been perfect for my wife and I to frequent several times a week and is just one more perk that pushes Cape Cod over the top of perfection. If you are more into running, the complex sits right on the Morton bike path which gives plenty of options to get out and go. The area feels very safe, quite a bit more then East Peoria, and our friends in the area regret not living here when they have come to visit. They would move if they didn't already have contracts elsewhere. One thing thing that you must keep in mind is that the apartments are pet friendly which can mean dogs can occasionally be heard barking across the lake and there is always someone out walking their dog at any time of the day. While I have a low tolerance of pets and I have allergies, I've had no complaints as others seem to keep great care of their dogs and we've gotten on well. There are two types of apartment buildings here, old and new. We live in a new one and are so happy with the living space. The walls and ceilings are thick, we cannot hear the neighbors or music and the electric bill has stayed very low as there is great insulation. We pay about $30-70 a month for electricity which is very reasonable and actually less then we expected keeping the heat and AC at 68-72. Be sure to program the thermostat though to fluctuate if you're not home in the days and this will help keep the bill lower. Moving in to the third story took some physical effort with couches and furniture as the floors are very tall, but the stairs were deep, wide and the walkways are as well. There was no difficulty in getting things moved around as the outside is very spacious and well lit. I know that we will miss this place when we have to move due to work, and we both think that we will not be able to find a place this nice for this great of rent. Cape Cod has spoiled us. Every day when I come home it feels like coming to a lake front condo. I cannot recommend this apartment enough! Love the space, love the staff, and really hope you can as well!

Here's how I spell fabulous real estate agent - RADER…read more We've moved 6 times as a family and normally it is a true pain getting your house listed and sold. Your listing agent typically disappears about 10 seconds after the papers to list the house are signed. NOT Steve - nope, he was with us EVERY step of the way. He knows the market, he knows houses, he knows how to figure out what a house is worth, he worked tirelessly promoting our house BEFORE IT WAS EVEN listed. He counseled us throughout of the inspections, appraisals, etc. He brought us boxes, he helped us clean up. He even came back after we had left to do some additional clean up and to ensure our property was ok. When you know what you are doing, you make it look easy. Steve makes it look easy - the guy is a compassionate, professional, friendly, MORE than helpful guide and counselor during the process. Because of his counsel, I believe our home sold much faster and for a higher price than we would have otherwise gotten. I am happy to talk to anyone about Steve Rader. What a pro. What a nice guy. Steve is a guy you can trust. I feel very, very lucky to have had him on my side as I was selling my home.
