I hereby award Jennifer Kanwit the Realtor of the Year Award! Unfortunately, I am under no…read moreauthority to grant this award other than the fantastic experience we had buying our Maine home with Jennifer. We moved here from Indiana and had really high expectations for what we wanted in our Maine home. Jennifer doesn't just listen, she infers, asks probing questions, and works hard to get to know her clients in order to supply them with the best service. Ultimately, we ended up buying our house sight unseen, so she and her colleagues worked exponentially harder to make sure we were going to be ok - bringing in every inspector and specialist so that our home would be ready for us when we arrived. The day we were driving into Maine, Jen called to tell us there was a leak that was threatening to ruin our hardwood floors. She was there right away (we had already closed mind you) and called on experts to come in and ameliorate the problem. Thanks to her quick actions, no significant damage was done. I could go on and on about how Jennifer regularly goes above and beyond. It's just her nature! Shout out to Sarah Singer, Phyllis, and Ellen who each played an important supporting role in getting this house for us. We are beyond delighted and recommend Jennifer and Portside to anyone!!

A friend once asked if I ever stopped into Think Tank during my First Friday Art Walk travels about…read moretown. I never had, because I guess I never realized that Maine's largest co-working space was open to the public... an hour later, I found myself enjoying complimentary red wine, PBR, Trader José, and hummus with crostini while enjoying not only the extremely interesting and unique art in a relaxed non-pretentious, non-judgmental, non-over-eager-to-please settings, but great conversation with others there - including the visionary behind Think Tank, Patrick Roche. Many moons later I had the chance to take a tour of Think Tank and fell in love with the entire concept. As a person who works from home I'd say the number one thing I'm missing from my day to day life is social interaction, specifically the hard-to-define energy that fosters, nurtures, and compels the individual and collective creative process when imaginative, forward-thinking, open-minded, thought-leading people are in the same room. That's one of things I instantly appreciated about Think Tank - it's dozens upon dozens of people working on their own projects in their own nook of the building... yet there's a buzz in the air that makes you feel like you belong - or want to belong - and could at any given moment ask someone for advice or their thoughts on something... and get an amazing response you never would have thought of back. The space itself is gorgeous: warm, comfortable, inviting. From the front, open area with the couches and tall windows (great for sun puddles and people watching), to the quieter more intimate spaces/rooms/telephone booths in back, and the desks that overlook the entire lay-out of the room on the second floor... I don't think there's a single bad seat int he house! Think Tank has super reasonable prices if you're looking for a locale to work outside of a coffee shop or in your PJ's from bed. And, they do have LOADS of opportunity to visit them for non-work reasons: from First Friday Art Walk exhibits to, as their website states, book launches, campaign fundraisers, film festival screenings, match-making events, business pitch events, etc. Want to see Portland in an entirely new light? Do yourself a favor and find a reason to explore this incredible spot in town.

I called them just two days before needing a space for a few hours and they accommodated me without a problem. The whole reservation process was very casual; I just gave them my name and number and I paid in person once I made it onsite. Due to Covid, they were only taking vaccinated guests at the time. The space itself was nice, nothing fancy or extravagant but it definitely got the work done! The kitchen was clean and fully equipped with coffee and appliances. The private office I used had everything I needed, but it felt a little dark/closed up at times. My partner used one of their offices with a view of the street and the light situation was much more enjoyable there.

As someone who is actively contemplating a work from home job, learning about the opening of SoPoCo…read moreworks was very exciting. I dropped in to visit the new shared co-working space during their open house. This newly renovated space is great with a variety of workspace options - from dedicated office spaces to community desks and stand up workstations. In addition, there is a community kitchen with fridge, microwave, and toaster oven. Also, a beautiful conference room available for meetings. This space looks like it might just be the perfect fit for my alternative work lifestyle. And, at $20 a day for drop-in's, definitely reasonable enough for me to give it a try and I can't wait!

Rented a house in Falmouth for August '23 through Labor Day from this agency. It was billed by the…read moreagent, Adam Shapiro, as "the Greenwich of Portland". As it turns out, the house sits right next to a busy parking lot for a beach with dirty water that smells like sewerage at low tide. Cars sit idling in the lot until 3 or 4 in the morning every night; it feels unsafe having them there. The front door lock is very difficult to close and the lock is not solid, offering very little security. The lower floor of the house reeks so badly of dampness and mildew that everyone had to move upstairs; the mildew smell in the bedrooms downstairs is overpowering. When I told Apex about this, they refused to come to the house to get an idea of how badly the moisture has affected that level of the house. The upper level of the house also has a terrible problem with moisture and a mildew smell. Upstairs shower stall smells moldy and damp, towels turn mildewy after 1 use because of the humidity problem in the house. The dishwasher failed to turn on and run the cycle. Apex sent the cleaning person over and she was unable to do anything. They were no help at all, it was just "no, no, no" from them. The oven light stays on no matter what, you have to push it closed forcefully, but then the light just goes back on after a few seconds. The electric window blinds stopped working 1 week into our stay; they had to send a tech over to recharge the motors, which took an hour of my time and attention. I checked out of the house August 23, almost 2 weeks early because I didn't; feel safe there and because the house smelled so bad. The agent, Adam Shapiro, did not reply to any of my texts or calls informing him of this; he just took the money and ran

We extended the contract on the understanding there would be flexibility, so were surprised by a…read morerequest for $ 3350 to terminate at the end of the original 6 month lease. We were surprised as there was no provision for this in the lease nor in Maine law. Another tenant was lined up, Apex tried to block the tenant until we paid $ 3350. This fee included $ 1950 of agents fees (a double dip - Apex would charge this again with respect to the new tenant), a $ 250 credit check on the new tenant and $ 1250 rent shortage. The dispute was inflamed by lengthy late night emails from Chris at Apex. On legal advice we declined to pay the spurious charges as they had no basis in contract nor Maine law. Fortunately, Apex pulled this stunt prior to our last months rent going out hence we remained in control of our money. We paid the rent difference, we paid for cleaning, we left the property in excellent condition. I would recommend to avoid Apex as a landlord or as a renter. If you have to rent from them, don't set up automated rent payments. Don't expect resolution of issues in the property. If you're a landlord, you should think carefully about the losses you could incur if your tenants depart on acrimonious terms due to provocation by your agent. And they charge you 20% for this!
