Had you asked if I rec Broadcast Apts just 6 months ago, the answer would have been a resounding…read moreand unequivocal NO; however, I am SO THANKFUL Madrona took over management in Jan 2024. Good on the building owner for making this switch. For context, Blanton Turner was in charge prior and I had the absolute WORST move-in/living experience you could imagine (August 2023). I am sure some Broadcast residents felt happy long ago under PREVIOUS BT agents (Keith also managed a previous apt of mine and he did a fantastic job...but he's no longer working in the field and seemed to be an amazing outlier with BT), so current residents who did NOT ACTUALLY MOVE-IN under the latest BT management in 2023 may not be aware of the dreadful state of affairs for new residents (that have since been rectified by Madrona). Things Madrona fixed during their 1st week: 1) Had a locksmith come out to fix a broken stairwell door. This door had to be propped open and the knob would not turn or open. Talk about a fire hazard. It's fixed now though, so don't worry! 2) Had the stairwell carpets professionally cleaned. I actually didn't know this was possible! There were numerous puddles of dog urine on every landing prior to this cleaning. It looks like a new carpet was installed! 3) MADE A SECURE PACKAGE ROOM!!! For anyone new to the Seattle area, package theft is VERY common. I have had 0 issues under Madrona, but I'm sure a few cases will invariably arise here and there. No matter where I live on The Hill, this is an issue. Under BT, WE HAD NO ACCESS to the overwhelming majority of our packages (save for a handful that can fit in the small Luxer locker) from Fri afternoon to Mon afternoon (management usually left directly after stuffing the packages in the office on Friday). One time, I was left waiting for my medication all weekend! If I had a delivery at 12 in the afternoon on a Friday, I'd miss it if I went looking for it by 12:30. BT also had this complete lack of access to one's packages as far back as a decade ago...sigh. They don't seem to change with the times. Literally no one else operates this way. Stay as far away from BT as you can. Other issues Madrona fixed: 4) Had the mildew professionally cleaned off EVERY balcony. I also fully expect them to keep up with this cleaning periodically. This was huge for me! I asked the BT agent during my tour if they would have this cleaned before I moved in. I got a (fake) enthusiastic "yes!!!" yet moved in to see the same massive chunk of mildew that had likely been sitting there for possibly 7 years. I have a condition called MCAS, where I have severe allergies (up to anaphylaxis) to many foods, fragrances, and mold/mildew. My doctor has advised me to stay away from mold/mildew. I realize mildew will grow back EVENTUALLY, but no one should expect me to risk cleaning that off myself, esp when I was up front about my condition. I legit need an EpiPen, so BT's lack of care was really frustrating and, honestly, concerning. 5) Had the exterior windows professionally cleaned. 6) Madrona is HIGHLY responsive to emails. BT literally never answered ANY emails/phone calls. I only knew I had secured my apt 3 days prior to move-in, after calling the office over and over again. Imagine if I'd had to cancel my movers!? You can imagine my panic! Also, Madrona's office is literally a 1 minute walk away from Broadcast. If you miss them during office hrs over at Broadcast, they will be super easy to reach at their official location. I have to say though, I have never needed to reach them in person BECAUSE they are highly responsive VIA email. 7) Fixed our water bills so they were no longer arriving in the mail at incredibly random times, after we had already paid the small online service fee for rent. P.s. the service fee was higher under BT (it's less than a dollar for Madrona). Now we can pay BOTH water/rent bills at the same time and not wonder when our next water bill will be arriving. 8) THE PEOPLE! Charlotte, Andrea, Chad, and STEVE are all AMAZING! Super personable, professional, reliable and timely. Which brings me tooooo.... 9) TIMELY maintenance requests fulfilled. BT literally had NO MAINTENANCE STAFF ON HAND FOR 4 months after I moved in. I was in utter shock, considering how many things were broken BEFORE I moved in. I was pleasantly surprised when Chad came out to fix my breaker the VERY 1ST WEEK Madrona took over. He also fixed the handful of other residents' breakers in need of repair work for months (hopefully not longer, honestly), so you won't be moving in with the same issues I faced. 10) Professional cleanings on a regular basis. I always see a friendly cleaning agency in here cleaning the common areas and the apts currently up for lease. I had to wash my clothes in an unleased apt (bc BT left me a toxic moldy washing machine) and the dustiness/uncleanliness of the unused rooms was visible. That's definitely not an issue now, far from it! Broadcast finally feels like home!

Andrea Augustine showed me the building in the first place and then worked with me conscientiously on all my special requests, questions, and needs. Later, Charlotte joined the team and helped me too. They've been a dream to work with -- always accommodating and flexible. Answering my questions. Responding to suggestions. Fixing things that broke. Even meeting me on a weekend one time when I locked myself out. I hear people complain all the time about their property managers. Obviously, they don't have the good fortune to have Madrona on the case.

We worked with Ryan Patrick to buy our home in Arlington last spring and he was outstanding…read more Before choosing a real estate agent, I conducted a lot of research to see who would be the best choice based on the investment they make into helping their clients (time and effort, not necessarily financially). Team Patrick stood out as the best the Puget Sound area has to offer: their organic rankings are excellent (meaning people find listings on his site easily), their social media presence was strong, and I could tell they put a lot of work into their clients. He spent hours answering our questions, providing objective data regarding how many homes are being sold in the area, how long listings typically stay on the market, and providing tons of info on comps in the area. Ryan's hard work and knowledge of what it takes to buy/sell a home really paid off. Ryan walked us through every step of the closing process. It couldn't have been a more pleasant experience. I've recommended the Team Patrick to everyone I know. He's a true professional and a genuinely nice guy. I think you'd be hard pressed to find a better Realtor.

He is a strong negotiator, good at constant communication, and always available. If I had to pinpoint the one main reason I trust Ryan, it's because I know he always has my best interests in mind. He knows real estate and has talked me out of buying homes that were potential money pits. In other words, he always places customer happiness over making a commission, which is not always seen in this business. I trust Ryan Patrick in Real Estate and gladly refer him to my clients!

First time homebuyers, govt employees, and we had a firm neighborhood search image here in West Seattle. Aaron was a steady hand throughout the wild real estate summer of 2020, readily responding to bookings, moving quickly to book tours (no open houses), hopping on the ferry to check out really interesting options and quickly relaying us to his associates for more "curiosity" inspired listings. Throughout the process Aaron never tried to pressure or upsell us, while keeping us clear-eyed about the very competitive market in our chosen area and available price range. We developed our mutual understanding over a couple weeks and by the time our house came on the market, we all knew it was the right one. Aaron deployed his negotiation skills to close out a somewhat complicated sale amid an overheated market, and Aaron and Mike both helped steer us through the fairly complicated buying process and crazy loan market of fall 2020, and kept the rubber on the road throughout. Now I get to write this review in our lovely snug home, while the world gets very crazy out there. Mission accomplished, and we owe Aaron many thanks for his help!

Alexis was able to navigate gracefully through one of the hardest transactions in history. She was committed from the very beginning to helping us find the perfect place to call home. We couldn't be happier with the way she worked with our very difficult seller to keep him in contract and keep the home under our control. There were so many roller-coasters throughout the entire transaction that everyone was constantly on their toes. There were many points where the seller was causing so much issue that it appeared to be the end of the road; however, Alexis never gave up on us. She fought incredibly hard for us against the incredibly difficult seller, and she came out victorious! We love, love, love our new home, and it's absolutely perfect. We truly appreciate Alexis, her time, and her willingness to persevere through a tough sale. We are so grateful!

Brett has been doing property management for decades, and was fully aware that the summer months of June and July are the prime months for leasing rental property, so that I could have already had a new tenant already in place for August if he had notified me in May when my tenant gave his notice to move out. This is a breach of his contractual fiduciary duties and negligence, resulting in months of financial losses in rental income. Stay as far away as you can from Brett and his unscrupulous company.

He replies to messages within minutes, making communication effortless. When it came time to list our property, we simply sent an email, and within a few days the lease was signed with a qualified tenant. It was truly a hands-free experience.

When maintenance issues arise, he addresses them promptly and professionally, never leaving anything unresolved.

To be transparent, we are property owners, so this review is from the owner's point of view. Having said that, he's been proactive in making sure the rental house is in a good shape, including regular annual maintenance. This is to ensure tenants get what they pay for. One thing David really stands out is his responsiveness and timely communications. Tips: believe it or not, best way to contact him is via email. He'll call me as soon as he's available whenever I ask him to call me via email. His email responses are mostly cryptic and straight to the point, and some folks may take that differently. But for us, we like his cut-to-the-chase, no-nonsense style. Believe us, we have had a different property manager before, and he may seem courteous, but his responsiveness and professionalism are not even close to David's.

I had friends contact them who were interested in leasing the property. Seattle Property never once contacted them. In the meantime, the yard is over growing, my old neighbors are calling me wondering if the place was abandoned. Their excuse: Oppsy-It just fails between the cracks. I have tried to call Matt on several occasions in the 1.5 years of working with them. He never once returned my voice mails. When I emailed Emily with questions about work orders, I would get short curt messages that didn't address my question at all. Just look at how dismissive they are of negative reviews here. I tried to play it cool. Then I started looking into some of the work orders. Apparently the microwave went out and they replaced it. No biggie right? However, the price of the microwave seemed a tad high. So I found the same exact model on Amazon and Home Depot for about half the price. Kind of makes me wonder if they're pocketing the extra money. Then other work orders come in, apparently normal maintenance such as changing out the HVAC filter isn't being done. The tenants aren't cleaning out the lint filters. So when that stuff breaks, who do they charge? What other kind of routine maintenance are they skipping? Are the rain gutters being cleaned out?

It's common business etiquette to at least acknowledge receiving the e-mail within 24-48hrs and ask for time to process, however we consistently are ignored for weeks on end by the accounting department and Molly. Simple mistake, but the communication could really use an improvement. Edit: so after posting this review, we immediately had our case taken care of. We got the refunds from the double charge... still think communication could be improved. If the system allowed, I think I would give them 3.5 stars. -Kevin & Elle
