Just wanted to take a moment to say how great an experience we had with Joe Murtha. He helped us to…read moreget a house sold for the price we were looking for, even with everything going on in the market. Also when the snowstorm of the century came through and threatened our final walkthrough and closing Joe went out and shoveled a path to the front door himself and managed to get someone out to plow the driveway. Excellent experience!

She is tenacious. She is thorough. She is pleasant to work with. She is great even when the market is difficult. Also, the recommendations she makes for other professionals in the process are stellar. Lawyer? She recommended Paul Trimper and I have never had a more positive legal experience with any lawyer. Nancy goes "above and beyond" and we are very grateful. I heartily recommend Nancy and her staff for ALL your real estate needs.

I didn't believe it would ever happen, but today a minor miracle occurred. After four years and…read morethree failed deals, Micah Matteson finally sold our house in Watertown, NY! We could not have asked for a better, more honest, more forthright, harder working property manager and real estate agent than him. We followed him from another PM company to Berkshire Hathaway. He was definitely the best decision BH ever made. Anyone with property needs in upstate NY should run (not walk) to Micah Matteson at Berkshire Hathaway of CNY Thank you, Micah. So glad to finally call you just our friend

I have lived here for a little over 3 years and have been very happy here. It's a great, and…read morecomfortable place to live. Don't judge the apartments by the look of the building's exterior which is warehouse/factory like, the interior apartments are very nicely renovated and make my guests gasp as soon as they step foot into my apartment. Maintenance issues are resolved in a timely manner and the maintenance staff here is pretty darn good. Hats off to Sam who did an awesome job on fixing my apartment's heating system this past October. Thank you Sam, I would have frozen to death and died without you. The area is a bit noisy, but that's usually the case for any location that's walking distance to the best restaurants and nightlife the town has to offer. Directly across the street from the apartment building is a great Coffee and Bakery shop called Starch Cafe which has definitely brought a much needed hip vibe to Watertown without the Starbucks prices. Besides, the primary parking lot, we also have two other options for parking, which come in handy. Rob, the owner is always polite, courteous and attentive to our needs. Rent is affordable and the property, like Rob's dog Alex, well maintained and cared for.

He would stall and claim he could not reach his client, avoid answering questions, and set the final walkthrough for the morning of the closing. Then when significant new damage was discovered during the walkthrough, he blamed us, refused to negotiate for repair costs, had someone do a terrible coverup job, insulted us repeatedly, and threatened to sue if we did not go through with the initial offer. We had no say in who the seller picked as a realtor, but please do not give this slimeball any of your business! (I highly recommend Stephen Gleason and William Leepy from NNY Realty instead)

Short version: Jason Smith and his team are lazy and horrible at communication. I would never trust…read moreanyone in this office to help with the buying or selling a house. If I could give Jason Smith and his team no stars I would. Jason puts up a good front but will do nothing to help in selling your home. He walked into our home and informed us how beautiful it was and how it would sell really quickly. We ended up selling the house For Sale By Owner with our own sign out front and listing on Zillow as an FSBO. Jason will tell you exactly what you want to hear and makes lots of promises about what he is going to do to help sell your home but never follows through. There were many times that his colleague Lisa would come to the house to do an open house. When we would meet with her after the open house she wouldn't have much feed back for us and would just say it went well and she expected that we would see offers from the efforts. We would often times after showing ask for feedback about the house and Jason nor his team would have any kind of valuable constructive criticism. It would usually be something like "Yeah, they loved the house." "Ceilings were a little low upstairs but otherwise they loved it." There were also numerous times that we would attempt to make contact with Jason and it would take hours or days to get a response from him. Jason's communications skills are lacking. He is 100% a salesman of himself and his company but not of your house. After we discontinued our contract with Jason his office still had paperwork for our house that we needed in order to complete the sale of our house. We attempted to make contact with him for approximately 5 weeks. When we showed up at office to get the paperwork they initially stated that they did not take any paperwork from us. After further pushing stating that they did have the paperwork and it had been dropped at an attorney they called the office and surprise the paperwork was there.

He had our house under contract and closed in about 6 weeks! I would recommend Jason to anyone looking to sell their home! He goes above and beyond for his clients! I can't say enough good things about him and his team!

I had him has my property manager for years and he always was able to get me into a "great" deal only for it to be a dump. His strategy....use out of state investors to bring their money into Watertown, fix up a dump, let him put Section 8 tenants or TLS tenants in there only to have your home destroyed. Use the few bucks you made if tenants paid to fix up the property again...rinse....repeat while he collected his monthly management fee. I was investing in Watertown for about 4 years and I'm still trying to get out of there. I moved everything over with Darrin Ashcroft that I have left. Micah shouldn't be in real estate or property management as he does not care about the investor evidenced by the trash he put in my home. I don't think he ran background checks or looked at prior convictions. Somehow everything he touched turned into a time suck. I have no idea how he stays in business personally. His side kick Brian DeHart who does all his flips is actively being litigated by me and is a total POS. These two from my dealings with them are human trash. -JR Fischer-

We have owned many different properties in Watertown. We have worked with many property managers…read more Many of them should not be in this business. The last two property managers we had, they left us in a very dire situation. We felt hopeless and defeated. We decided to give one more shot and started looking for a new property manager. In the process of interviewing new prospects, we came across Micah Matteson. Hiring him as our property manager was the best decision we have made. He understood our situation. He went out of his way to accommodate us, and within the first 2 yrs we were able to turn things around. When our properties were profitable again, he helped us selling them. Last one was sold this week. We are very grateful to Micah and his team for all they did during the past 4 yrs to make this happen as we are moving our business to other directions. Thank You Micah and Good Luck with everything you do!
