In response, they threatened me with a rent increase for not paying separately for my garage space which was included when I signed my lease.

My family recently had a disappointing, to say the least, experience with this company after a…read morefamily member passed away unexpectedly. Within 15 days of their passing, we returned the keys to the office (after my parents were told 2 days after the incident that if we won't clear out everything out of the apartment by the end of the month they'll charge them next months rent). But when asked when can we hear from them about the security deposit or itemized list of what it was used for, my parents were told that 30-day notice was not given (stating it's a state law). In their grief, they did not have the energy to argue with the landlord. However, when I've searched for said law, I found that under our state law, the landlord is required to return the full deposit or provide an itemized list of any lawful deductions within 21 days after a tenant's death, with no exceptions for lack of notice. While it's not too late to recover the unlawfully withheld funds, my parents opted not to pursue further action. The additional stress was too much to manage on top of their loss. However, I do not want this unethical behavior to go unnoticed. The landlord disregarded the statute and took advantage of our grieving circumstances. I caution others renting here to know your rights, as landlords may not follow proper procedures, especially during difficult situations. Do not let unlawful deposit withholdings go unchallenged. I hope by sharing this, other renters can better protect themselves when finalizing a lease after the loss of a loved one. Landlords should treat tenants ethically and lawfully during these times, not make them harder.

I can not say enough good things about Best Real Estate Management and the owner Toni…read more Being out of State having her to manage my property gives me great peace of mind. Not only does she assist in finding the perfect tenant she makes sure that things remain as they should be: 1- Rent payments/leases 2- Annual inspections. 3- Communicates with tenants related to issues. 4- Communicates with owners related to issues. 5- Has reliable, competent staff of cleaning, repair crew. 6- Takes care of all matters related to Rental. Having investment property is never easy. Best Real Estate Management is by far superior to any other company in the area. It is extremely difficult to find competent and professional property mangers, that do more then collect the money. There are many others but when your tenant is locked out of the house at 11PM see how many of them will assist. If you can get Toni to manage your property you will be thankful. To finalize my review, all I can say is having this management company allows me to sleep at night for the last 7 years. JK- AHTS, IL

A Great Partner in Creating a Dream-Come-True…read more We knew we needed a different house, so we'd been tossing around the idea of either building or buying and had a pretty hard time finalizing a decision. Everything (in every price range) pre-built would still require renovations to suit our taste. Finally, in Spring of 2016, we went to a Parade of Homes and decided a custom build would be the best decision for us. We met Greg Drusch at Cypress and we discussed our ideas. We found the perfect lot in a new subdivision and Greg helped us navigate through the sale process, then we were off and running! I'm a "planner", which (from my perspective) was advantageous to this process. I polled everyone I knew who had built a house and asked them 1) What's the smartest thing you did? and 2) What's your biggest "wish I would've"? Planning helped things run VERY smoothly, since we didn't need to take much time to think about details. I started an 'inspiration' album and planned out the look of the overall home, as well as each room. I took the Karalyn plan (as a base) and flipped it for Feng Shui purposes. This way, the master was at the back right of the house and the office was at the front. I made extensive customizations to the plan using Microsoft Paint, of all things! Greg took my modifications in stride and updated the official plans while I handed over my Inspiration Book. The rough-draft plan required minimal decision making, since Cypress had already incorporated my ideas into the Bid plan. Cypress handled all our customizations with ease, including the many vintage or reclaimed pieces we incorporated into the build. Examples of some of our customizations that Cypress included into initial Bid: * Wool insulation * Pre-defined choices based on Samples I'd collected o Paint colors and Low VOC o Bamboo & Cork Flooring o Quartz Island countertop * Specific sinks and shower doors in Master * Specific door styles to be used throughout the house, and front entry * Cabinet and trim style and color * SMART enabled appliances (such as furnace, humidifier, etc) * Buried sump lines We spent a lot of time coming up with a Wish List before we ever met with Cypress. Our Planning and build process ran VERY smoothly. More often than not, I felt we were all on the same page even before working with the Designer to make on-the-fly decisions. Not everything went as planned - and I wouldn't expect it to! Building a house is a huge project and there are bound to be some misses. We decided to roll with some of the mishaps because they weren't game-changers. A small shelf on the design was missed? It's fine, we'll build one out of reclaimed wood and it'll look great! The pantry goes all the way to the ceiling instead of leaving a 'plant shelf' at the top? That's fine, now we have a place to put our kitchen clock! You can have your dream home even if everything doesn't happen 'perfectly' along the way. Luckily our schedules were flexible enough to allow one or both of us to be on-site nearly every day of the construction process. Things move VERY fast and it was helpful to be around for questions and have knowledge of what's happening. One day I noticed a vent housing was placed in a closet wall. Would've been fine except our barn door wouldn't have been able to slide over it. Because we noticed it early, it was easily moved the next day - BEFORE the HVAC was installed. Timing is everything! Also, I loved walking around the site every day to capture snaps of the progression. I've always dreamt of being able to help design our Craftsman style dream home (as eco-friendly as possible) and involving my father in the project. Cypress made it very easy to bring my dad into various parts of the project and kept in touch with us to help coordinate timing needs. We enjoyed so many of the contractors we met along the way, too. We did have 2 lingering issues that extended into and beyond our warranty period. We had a furnace that clunked, and we had a bay window that had been water damaged and was challenging to resolve. We kept in touch with Cypress on the progress and, most importantly, they stuck with us to make it right. Cypress helped us build our dream home and we found ~90% of the process to be INCREDIBLY fun! We had so much fun working with Greg! He really took the time to get to know us - to understand our needs, our wants and our budget. Greg was an Exceptional partner on #teammelrosemeadows and we wouldn't trade this experience for the world. He provided many great ideas, from cost savings to building in creative storage. At Cypress, they know they're bringing someone's dream to life and will go to great lengths to help achieve that goal. We have such amazing memories of this process. We have the home of our dreams - which includes our own personalized customizations, and the handiwork of my dad. Cypress made it possible. Thank You.

We've been in our new home for one year. While we love the house, we would not choose to work with…read moreCypress Homes again, given their lack of responsiveness over the past year. We were initially drawn to Cypress by the high quality of their work. We worked with Josh, who was truly exceptional. We appreciated how responsive he was to our questions and concerns. He worked really hard to get us the home we wanted for our unique lot. The frustrations began when we transitioned from sales to project management. The project manager rarely responded to questions, and when he did, it was often with inaccurate or misleading information. The months of poor communication continued right up to the final walk through. It was visible that the excavator did not do a proper job of grading on three sides of our house. The Contract Specifications state, "The grader will slope the terrain to provide drainage away from the foundation...The finished grade of the soil shall slope away from the dwelling at a rate of at least 1/2" per foot for a minimum distance of 10'..." In multiple spots, the grade actually slopes toward the house and the foundation by about five inches, leading to standing water against the foundation. It's been an entire year of calling and emailing, and Cypress has still not met the contract language. Initially, I emailed, called, and texted the project manager about this problem. He never responded. I spent thousands of dollars fixing the drainage problem myself on two sides of the house shortly after we moved in. Because the house is under a one-year warranty, I expected to work with the office staff this spring to resolve the remaining issue on one side of our home. I was right to be concerned. Thawing snow and early spring rain quickly revealed the sloping grade toward the house. Water pooled against the foundation, leading our sump pump to cycle every two minutes for more than a week. For more than three months, I have emailed and called to explain the issue and seek resolution. The lack of response has been stunning. One year after we moved in, the issue is unresolved. Final recommendation: If you want a quality new home, Cypress Homes will likely deliver. But if you want a quality new home and seek a positive building experience (contract upheld, professional and timely communication, etc.), take your business elsewhere.
