This relates to one of the companies, Nulf Management Services. There have been multiple serious…read moreissues in this building that management has not handled properly. At times there has been no heat, which is unacceptable, especially during cold weather. Heat is a basic necessity and tenants should never have to worry about whether their apartment will be warm enough to live in. There are also ongoing safety and management problems around the property. The dog has been allowed to run around without a leash, which makes the environment uncomfortable and unsafe for other residents. It shows a lack of basic oversight and enforcement of simple rules that protect everyone living here. The most concerning issue, however, has been the bedbug situation. Furniture seen to be infested with bedbugs was dragged out of the building. Bedbugs were dropped everywhere in the entrance and in front of the building. All is visible around the furniture outside. Instead of being handled quickly and professionally. Despite these ongoing problems -- lack of heat, safety concerns, and the bedbug issue -- we have asked to be released from the lease and have not been allowed to leave. At this point, it feels like tenants are being forced to remain in a situation that does not meet basic living standards. Everyone deserves a clean, safe, and properly managed place to live. Unfortunately, that has not been our experience here.

Don't rent from them, and ABSOLUTELY do not rent 9226 Valley St. The homeowner refuses to pay for…read morerepairs, so Nulf just doesn't complete maintenance. They put in one-time use led light fixtures. They all started going out. I spent two years trying to get them to replace them. I finally opened a ticket stating fire was emanating, don't worry, they came two weeks later. They feign incompetence, use turnover as an excuse to cover their mistakes, and refuse to correct them. I have in writing that they were going to issue me a $15 credit. They never did. They have continued to try to charge me $15, and tacked on a $50 late fee. I spent 2 months trying to contact them through email and phone. When I finally did reach someone they failed to do their job, resulting in ongoing billing issues. There are holes in the floor, they do not have proper gfc outlets in the house. The only thing consistent about the electric is $$$$$$$$$$$ and tripping the breaker. You can literally see the floorboards sagging through the ceiling from the front room. We lived there for many months before the city knocked on our door to inform us that the owner failed to file an occupancy permit, and we did have the right to reside there. The bathtub was cracked and it again, took many months and multiple flooding events of our kitchen for them to fix it. The house is run on electricity instead of gas, so in the winter our electricity bill can run as high as $2000. During the winter we have to keep multiple space heaters going, even with the heat on, to keep the house warm, and the pipes from freezing. The entire top floor doesn't get heated at all without the space heaters. J The backyard is really messed up. It looks as though they dug the whole thing out, and then just dumped dirt and gravel, and called it good. The backyard floods whenever there is rain because of the issues with the backyard. The doors don't work, we had to put hooks on our bedroom door so we can keep it shut, and the door to the basement and garage has to have something blocking it to keep it closed. The carpet was disgusting and torn all over, and should have been replaced before we moved in. The bathroom has 0 ventilation and causes constant issues with black mold. Their response? Leave your bathroom window open at all times, and it's not their problem. They did something to the garage door, and ever since it has had a hard time working, it shakes and rattles, and it's quite concerning every time I have to open the garage. They painted the house before we moved in, and did the worst job I have ever seen. They put in cheap laminate flooring that warps as soon as it's wet on the landing of the doorway, the bathroom, and the kitchen, all three areas that are impossible to keep dry (see notes above about bathtub flooding the kitchen). They have continued to increase our rent, in spite of an endless loop of problems that don't get addressed.

Recommended by a friend of a trusted friend, Jay put us at ease as my husband and I muddled through this process for the first time. I cannot overstate the value of his candor, attention to detail, expertise, patience, professionalism, and kindness.

I want all my friends and family to sell their homes so that they can hire Jay to help them in the quest for a new home. While I work on talking them into this, I highly recommend him for your consideration. Also, shout out to his assistant Jesi who helped us immensely with the many post-offer details!

Bobby West was our realtor to sell our home and help us find our new home. We chose him based on…read morehaving several 5 star reviews. After our experience, we questioned if they were all real. Our home was listed, and wanting to sell we decided to put the price at the lower end of his recommendation range, trying to ensure it would not sit. Within 4 days he wanted us to lower the price by $10,000 because of only 2 showings. We did not feel great about this and felt this was too soon, but he pushed, so we agreed to lower by $7,000. Within a week we had 1 awful offer and one for asking. We accepted the one for the asking price. Now it was time to find our new home. We picked a day we could both get off work. He said he couldn't show us houses that entire day because he was taking his 2 dogs to a grooming appointment. We found our home through a different realtor in his office. Bobby made the offer and it was accepted. Here's where things take a turn. He said he took care of our earnest money going where it needed to go. He didn't. He told us he got permission from our seller so we could move in up to a couple days early. He didn't. We told him when our movers were coming and he was pushing to have the sellers do our walk through at the same time our movers would be moving our belongings out of the home. Everything was in writing via text messages. When the messages were copied back to him, he spun out of control. Messages became rude and unprofessional on his end. We didn't know how to respond to him. We decided to have another realtor from his company intervene. John Perry stepped in and was very professional and completed the rest of the communication and tasks. We would not recommend using Bobby West as a realtor.

We worked with Scott Boni out of the Bobby West team and it was a fantastic experience. We will…read moredefinitely be recommending Scott and Bobby to anyone else looking to buy a home. Scott guided us through he whole process was very patient with us and explained everything without over explaining. He helped us at every step of the way was always quick to reply and easy to contact and kept us informed. Scott also had great contacts through him he helped us pick a quality mortgage broker, home inspector and everything else we needed for the process. Scott was also extremely knowledgeable about the houses we toured and was able to point out things I never would have noticed or known to ask about. He was able to adapt as we figured out what kind of houses we were actually interested in and guide us to more like what we wanted. We toured a lot of houses and made two offers in our Journey and Scott was reassuring communicative and effective the entire way. Every weekend he would set us up to tour homes with an itinerary and a plan also including and getting us information on homes we found ourselves that we liked. Scott was a great Value as a realtor but more importantly to me he was just a very good person. I felt like i could trust him to actually have mine and my Wife's interests at heart. I never felt pressured by him and the man knew how to make us feel comfortable in the strange situation. He was easy to talk to without it ever feeling awkward or like an obligation even on our 10th or 12th house toured. He was fun to talk to while keeping us on track through all the tours and making good use of our time. He helped us weigh the pros and cons of the places we visited and helped us understand everything through his knowledge and experience. I'd highly recommend this group and Scott in particular if you are in the process of buying a house.

We closed on our new home within 30 days of making our initial offer, and our previous home was under contract within 72 hours of hitting the market. Buying and selling a home at the same time can be stressful, but Derek made the process smooth and straightforward. I would highly recommend him to anyone, whether you're a first-time homebuyer or looking to upgrade to your next home.
