This property management gave him and his wife keys to my rental where he physically assaulted me and my 7 year old daughter. Worst property management around rent at your own risk. First off the owner Cindy is a B**** and is extremely rude. They gave the home owner the keys to the rental before even giving me the keys. The homeowner had access to the rental while I lived there. He physically assaulted myself and my child then Cindy and her god awful team turned around and tried to blame me for it. I already had PTSD and these people made it 100x worse. I hope these people rot in their own hell for what they put me and my kids through. Good luck renting from them. I wish I could have given them no stars. I added the pictures of the closet the owner threw me through, the keys to my car he threw against the wall to break so I couldn't leave and some of the bruises from him throwing me around my own bedroom. Then they tried to make me out to seem like I was insane, so rent at your own risk and I pray you don't have the same experience as me. You can ask all the neighbors they will tell you the same thing. They also like to kick people out to place friends and family in there so don't plan to stay long.

This agency is an absolute joke. I would 100% recommend not renting from them. I rented from them…read morein February in a last-resort situation and was completely taken advantage of. The front door is broken and has never really been able to lock--it's almost falling out. The door frame was clearly kicked in before I ever moved in, and the lock has fallen out multiple times (which I had to replace myself). At this point, the door has fallen off its hinges entirely, and I cannot lock it. The garage door doesn't insulate, the front door doesn't insulate, and there's black mold in the house. When I first moved in, one of the heaters wasn't working, and it still hasn't been replaced. Requests to Cindy, the so-called property manager, have been ignored. She even told me to my face, "Well, you couldn't find anywhere else to live, so that's what you get." Instead of addressing any of these issues, she comes around every couple of months to snoop and "inspect" but never fixes a single thing. Because of the poor insulation, frogs have gotten inside the house. The stove looks like it's from 1960 and barely works. And when I put in maintenance requests, I was contacted not by a real contractor, but by the homeowner's personal handyman. When I asked if he was certified, he admitted he wasn't--he's just "a guy." So essentially, they're sending random people to do repairs instead of licensed professionals. Honestly, I might as well just call my neighbor over to fix this stuff myself. This agency will not take care of anything, but they are quick to take your rent money and show up to be nosy. If you're thinking about renting from them--don't.

We cook our meals in the big, well-equipped kitchen, dine in front of a picture window that perfectly frames Mt Rainer and gather in the great room where the massive rock fireplace warms us. There are enough beds to comfortably sleep 16-18 adults and enough available floor space for a number of air mattresses if needed! The grounds are so beautiful with green horse pastures, blossoming trees and flowers and the perfect white wooden fence to compliment the barn-red house. The owner was quick to respond to questions and needs while we were there and has appointed the house with beautiful bedding, art and decorations. For a gathering of good friends sharing experience strength and hope, a family reunion or a special wedding or anniversary party this property will not disappoint. We'll be back next year!

Rainier. There are plenty of bedrooms and sleeping spaces, which was terrific for our group. I will say that the cost per night is significantly higher this year than it was in 2015, and that was a struggle for our organization. I cannot say it is worth the new high cost per night. If you're planning a wedding, or need a retreat location, consider the Manor at South Bay, as long as you're willing to spend the money.

She…read morecarefully guided us through the purchase of a house that was 'for sale by owner', something many agents would not touch, going beyond her normal duties. She coached us through the negotiations to arrive at an agreement that pleased us.

She offered many useful suggestions, and I'm sure she would respond to questions even now. We would give her 10 stars if it were possible.

Bellwether apartments were seemingly great at first glance, however once we moved into our…read moreapartment we became aware of several issues. The first issue was saftey, there were multiple occasions when I was outside during nighttime to take my dog to go potty, and I ran into some people flashing lights into cars to see what was in there. Additionally, I had my car broken into and everything was stolen. This has happend to multiple residents, and the Bellwether has failed to put any protections in place (security, cameras, gates etc.). The Bellwether does not care for their tenants. On top of the safety concern, there we're other issues surrounding the actual apartment. We we're located on the first floor, and the whole year that we lived there my room was damp, and clothes were growing mold on them. Increasingly throughout the year I kept getting sick, which I don't usually get sick very often, and after doing research it was most likely because of black mold. I inspected the whole apartment at move out and found a leak and black mold in the laundry room. The final big issue we had at move out was final billing statements. They will bill you for everything across the Sun! I recently got a statement from the Bellwether that I had to put $1,250 for replace all of the carpets in the apartment, due to "heavy urine." I will say my dog did have a couple of accidents, but not enough to where they would have to replace the whole carpets. These accident spots (which I already cleaned and didn't smell or stain) could have easily been cleaned by a carpet cleaner. I found the name of the carpet cleaning company that gave the Bellwether the statement, and they declined to talk to me unless the Bellwether gave them permission... a little interesting. Anyhow, there were many other issues we ran into, and want to warn you about everything we went through. The Bellwether apartments are money motivated, and do not care for their tenants. Do not live here.
