When we started house-hunting in September, our realtor suggested interviewing mortgage lenders…read more Enter Reggie Maddox of Atlantic Bay Mortgage Group--and let me just say, he set the bar high! From the start, Reggie's transparency about his flat fee and his commitment to building lasting client relationships won us over. Plus, we instantly clicked with him. After interviewing another lender (spoiler: no contest), we went with Reggie--and thank goodness we did! Throughout the process, Reggie and his team (shoutout to Nate!) were responsive, patient, and beyond helpful. I'm a stickler for reading every detail, questioning every fee, and ensuring we're getting the best deal--and Reggie delivered. He even managed to lower our rate by a quarter percent when it briefly dipped before closing. Thanks to Reggie and his rockstar team, we're officially homeowners! If you're looking for a lender who's as sharp as they are personable, Reggie's your guy.

They built our condo. Not bad. But they didn't connect some underground pipes to the water or sewer…read moresystem. They left exposed pipes under our home, so our bathtub downstairs flooded the crawl space. They seem to have denied responsibility and have continued to ignore requests to repair these pipes and the related damage. Their contractors almost always flake or are late when they even bother to agree to show up. Then, when they arrive, they demur and pretend not to realize the plain issues they see. They're also quite rude. They left a Washington Gas account open at our new address for more than a year and repeatedly refused to call Washington Gas to cancel it. So, my wife had to do it for them instead. All the while, the people in the M Squared offices dismissively claimed they had nothing to do with it. In closing, condo builders like M Squared are a dime a dozen. And other ones might not do shoddy work and treat you poorly. So take a chance with one of them instead.

I know the rental market may be competitive but be seriously warned renting through M squared…read more Usually I give at least a 2 star review but with them trying to screw us over at every turn, it had to be a 1 star. Starting off the list: 1) They allowed our AC/Heat to stay broken in the dead of summer for 5 months. The only reason they fixed it was because we said we were moving out. They said it was our fault, that we didn't change the filters, but we had proof that they were changed. And the technician told them explicitly to replace the blower the first time he came to fix the AC. Luckily we left before it got too cold. 2) The paint they used on the walls was very cheap and cracked very easily. Leading to them taking a large chunk out of our security deposit because they had to double paint. Apparently $3300 is how much it costs to paint 1 floor of a house with cheap paint. 3) They raised our rent $300 at the start of the pandemic before it became illegal. $200 extra for month to month and $100 for an annual rent raise. 4) They offered us the parking space in the back but then took it out from under us to sell the downstairs unit. 5) The house had mice when we first moved in. 3 of them within a month span before we finally found and patched up the hole. But I will say this is common with DC houses so not their fault. Unfortunately they let landlords walk all over their renters and refuse to fix problems. Especially in old houses that are bound to have issues. They use the fact that renters don't want the expenditure of taking action in court so they make every excuse to squeeze you. Absolutely the worst experience we've had renting in the 10 years we've been renting apartments/houses.

Dominic was wonderful to work with throughout our entire first-time homebuyer experience! We closed…read moreon our home a few weeks ago and we're so grateful that a friend recommended Dominic to us. He is extremely knowledgeable and answered all our questions patiently. My husband and I felt like we were taken good care of in the months leading up to settlement.

Mr. Eichenblatt made the overwhelming, frustrating home buying experience manageable and understandable.

Mr. Eichenblatt was honest, diligent, compassionate and provided transparent support throughout the process.

I wish I found Jenny and the team sooner! Jenny and Linh were a large part in making my purchase…read moresuccessful. I had to make a competitive offer on a condo in DC and was able to tell the seller that I could close by the end of the month. From the time of a ratified contract to settlement, it only took the team 7 business days. This is unheard of by any lender in the business, especially for a condo which requires condo docs. Not only that, I got a very competitive rate from George Mason and I can say that after 2 previous purchases and 1 refi, this is the best lending experience one could ask for. Thank you!!!

Terrible service. Disrespectful to homeowners. They hang up on phone calls and don't answer emails…read more They arrange payments with plumbing companies without confirming with the homeowner what actually happened. When I asked for an explanation for what I'm paying for on the invoice, they didn't give me one. The company didn't either, because they say they were hired by Gordon James, but guess who pays the bill?

11 October 2024 - I hope the company responds so I can revise this review in the future…read more My relationship with Gordon James *was* great for 12 years! As soon as I planned to sell my investment property and was no longer a revenue source for them, the support and willingness to engage with me disappeared. This has created numerous headaches as I plan to sell my rental property. 1) The company accepted a tenant-cleaned property, but still told me they would be charging the tenant for a move-out cleaning. When the tenant complained about the withheld deposit - the company refuses to acknowledge that they told me *in writing* that the $690 cleaning would be charged to the deposit. Now I owe the tenant another $690. 2) The company mailed the keys and garage door openers to my realtor. The package is lost and was not insured by the company. Now they simply suggest filing a "missing package" request and are not willing to accept responsibility for replacing the items that I entrusted to them. 3) Besides from one phone call, all communication is over email, which is creating delays in resolving these issues, leading the former tenant to threaten legal action against me. The company is not taking ownership of any of the issues that were caused by their miscommunication or negligence. Be careful!
