When we found a very rural one we were interested in she drove well over an hour to show us the house that we ultimately ended up buying. There were lots of bumps along the way as we were trying to sell our house and buy the new one at the same time and Kelly was always the voice of reason during it all. She provided expert guidance and support during the especially anxious times. This is the third house I have purchased, and Kelly is hands down the BEST realtor I have encountered.

We toured a couple of apartments in Old Town managed by MREM, looking for a 2-bedroom. One of the…read moreplaces was listed as a 2-bedroom, at 2-bed price, but when we see the place, one of the rooms was only accessible through another "bedroom." It was a living room with a door, not legally considered a bedroom in most places, not to mentioned it was way more cramped than the AI-generated photos implied, and it had a stale cigarette smell after presumably being empty for two years (as far as I could tell from the listing dates and price changes on Zillow). Every one of their apartments looks the same: dingy, outdated bedrooms with the bare minimum (toilet, stove, etc) going for the prices of legitimate apartments, using AI photos to "imagine" what the spaces could look like. Get corporations out of housing in Maine if they're going to just buy up all the properties to bleed us of our rent.

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.
