I needed to get a key fob, which I purchased years ago, programmed to work for my car. I did my due…read morediligence in researching methods to program the fob myself, and I found out that I couldn't program it because of the year of my car and that I would have to have it done professionally. I also read that it could cost upward of $140+ if I went to a dealership, and I wasn't comfortable spending that amount of money simply to get my fob to work, because, ya know, I got BILLS. LOL Thus, the suggestion was that I find a local locksmith to do the job. I initially called Fast Eddy's on Grand Avenue, mostly because of good reviews but also because it's located about a block down from where I live, but his technician wasn't available this week, so he recommended Rapid Recovery. I called Rapid Recovery, made an appointment for yesterday at noon, brought in my fob, and it was handled very quickly. The technician suggested I get a new shell for the fob because the casing was broken and would fall apart. The cost to program the fob was $60, and to replace the shell was an extra $10. Hmmm...$70 versus $140, plus replaced broken fob case.....looks like I won! I'm very happy and would recommend their shop to anyone who needs this service. Thank you, Rapid Recovery!

I found a mirror on line a week ago. I called Gabberts and got Sam as a sales person. She helped me…read morewith my order which needed to be shipped. She confirmed stock on it. She took all the info and my credit card, which I authorized to be charged. She told me she was going to apply 50% until her manager could help her with the shipping information. I received paperwork showing the transaction we spoke of. Days of baloney, avoidance, etc. Distressing. Sam then told me I'd have to get my own UPS label and send it. I did this. I paid $509 to UPS for shipping. I then began to email them at their email address with the shipping label and info. I have copies of all my paperwork. ALL of my emails to them were kicked back. the mirror was to be picked up today at noon. Multiple phone calls with both urgency brought distressing stonewalling finally brought me back to Sam although I insisted on speaking to a manager. "They won't sell it to you" was what she said. They won't let the mirror go." No calls, no explanations. And whatever the reason (another customer wants it, etc.) does not negate the fact that I purchased it by providing authorization to charge my card. Extremely poor treatment of a polite and patient customer. It is now 11:53 in Bloomington. I have not yet received a call back from anyone at Gabbert's. Gabbert's, this customer wants answers and her selected mirror. What's your response?

I had a pleasure dealing with Homestead Road. Great experience and highly professional team!read more

I have had nothing but bad experiences with Homestead Road on both sides of working with them…read more On the seller side they give lowball cash offers, and try to leverage a sellers minimal understanding of the housing market to get houses cheap so they can resell. I know numerous people they have taken advantage of in this way. On the buyer side, the agents are slow to communicate and follow sketchy listing practices. (One house I saw listed by them was put on $100k above market value then re-listed every few days with $10k mark downs) the houses are often listed improperly (ex. 3B, 3BA homes with only 1 legally compliant bedroom that isn't disclosed in the listing) I've even seen agents who don't want to present their clients counter offers (which they are legally obliged to do) because it's a "waste of time". If you looking to buy or sell, I would stay away from here.

Giving a two star review due to potential miscommunication from both parties during this estate…read moresale. Communication was lacking throughout the process, which made an already stressful situation more difficult. My mother returned to the property with important items missing in order to properly prepare and sell the home. A full vanity mirror attached to the bathroom wall was sold while decorative towels and shower curtains intentionally left behind were not. Additionally, furniture was moved in a way that left noticeable gouges in the walls. We were told that many of the larger items did not sell the first day and that there would be price reduction listings on various platforms to try and sell these additional items. Through my limited personal search I only saw one item listed and much of the furniture went for free the following day. I did not expect to make money in this estate sale. I understand specific promises cannot be made in this line of business since there are so many outside factors involved. However, we came home to a few hundred dollar home depot trip to buy a new mirror and paint along with an additional invoice for services. When contacted, we did receive a minor credit. Melanie expressed that she did not know about the vanity mirror and seemed to be off-site during the actual sale. Overall, the disconnect with communication, lack of oversight, missing item, and damages done to the property made this a frustrating experience.

He had me waiting to see if I was approved for a mortgage loan for almost a month ... and he still wouldn't return my phone calls or emails, or let me know if I was approved for the loan or not. Do yourself a favor and go with a national mortgage company like Better Mortgage. They had an answer for me the same day I applied and they were unbelievably professional and helpful.

We had a great 30-year rate already, but we wanted to take advantage of the low rates. I called and checked online with 7 different mortgage companies and I'm so thankful we chose First Class Mortgage. Not only did they offer the best rate and lowest closing costs of the other companies, but they offered assurance that if the loan process took longer than expected (which is common with the low interest rates right now), they would take care of it and we wouldn't have to pay extra to continue locking in the rate. This was something none of the other companies were willing to do. Thankfully, their team processed our loan as quickly as possible. They made the process so very simple; we were able to do everything except the closing (which was also perfect) in person. They were clear about everything from the beginning and answered every question we had. They communicated with us every step of the way so that there were no surprises. To top it all off, despite telling us our rate would be locked in and couldn't be reduced, their team was able to get our rate down from 2.375% to 2.25%! WOW! Thanks to them, we are paying almost the same monthly amount...but will pay it off 7 years earlier! We are incredibly grateful for everything they have done. Thank you to Brady, Lisa, Nate, and Austin for a FIRST CLASS experience in every possible way. We are very excited about the money we'll save over the next 15 years. :)

Algo Realty and its CEO Grigoriy Gorshteyn are rare finds! We interviewed many PM companies and…read morechecked many references, before deciding to switch to Grigoriy and his team early this year. And we are extremely glad we did - Grigoriy makes owning rental property easy. They have solid in-house accounting and maintenance, and where needed have strong relationships with external vendors. They also have in-depth knowledge of the area (with special knowledge of Minneapolis and St. Paul), and in-depth experience with tenant issues. We recently had our Mpls market-rate property up for a turn, and were very happy with the result. Algo was able to screen for and sign up quality, new tenants well before the prior lease terminated, and at rate that we are very happy with. We love how organized, effective, responsive, honest, and knowledgeable they are, with a special shout out to Grigoriy for the personal touch he offers to both the tenants and the owners. Highly recommend!
