Gretchen, at the Longmont branch was amazing to work with, especially as a first time home buyer…read more She took the time to listen to what I wanted in a house (which evolved as I saw more properties) and patiently answered all of my questions, often with links so I could learn more. You know from the beginning that she is "on your side" and willing to go the extra mile so you get what you want. When the time came to put an offer on "the one" she made sure my offer was strong, while still comfortably within my budget - without any pressure. She is motivated, and very detail oriented. Gretchen made the closing process as smooth as could be especially given all of the moving parts. I never felt overwhelmed or as though I did not understand something at any point during the month-long closing. She is dependable and very professional. If you're looking to buy or sell, I would (and have) recommend her to anyone.

I really can't say enough good things about Dave Marvin. My fiancee and I were first time home…read morebuyers and in this crazy market, I really don't think we would've been able to do it without Dave in our corner, I think we would've given up. If you are trying to buy or sell a house, Dave is your guy, full stop. Let me list all the reasons why: - Dave is a regular guy who works for YOU. I know every realtor says that, but with Dave, we really felt like we had found someone who had our best interests at heart. He is a good listener and takes the time to understand what you want and don't want, what excites you, and what causes you stress. You will never feel like you are being steered in a direction you do not want to go but you will always get his advice on what he thinks is the best course of action. He is dedicated, responsive, and available to get things done when you need them done. - Dave has DEEP roots in this community. He knows this market inside and out. He knows the neighborhoods, the market trends, many of the other brokers, and pretty much everything else about the area. He knows everyone who is anyone in the real estate, financing, home improvement, and rental industries in Boulder county and the surrounding areas. Dave has taken the stress out of finding professionals in every area and everyone he has recommended has been as exceptional as he is. He has built up a network of the best of the best in this part of the world and his customers reap the benefits. - He is supremely knowledgeable, ethical, and savvy. He has been in this industry for a long time and understands how to get things done in a strategic but always above board way. He is a also a great teacher. As new buyers, there were a lot of things we did not understand about the real estate system, and Dave was always able to explain the complicated inner workings to us in a relatable way. Dave was able to coach us through the craziness that is the housing market today and we were able to buy a home that we love at a price we wanted to pay. If you want the best outcomes in real estate with the lowest possible amount of stress, work with Dave. You won't regret it.

Great for struggling homeless tenants! But a nightmare for landlords / homeowners! I highly recommend that people read Yelp's "not recommended review" that can only be seen by scrolling down and clicking on the link for it. I totally agree with it! - especially about the difficulty communicating with this agency and their frequent practice of lying (when backed against the wall when they don't honor their agreements). I tried to work with this agency for 3 years, but have learned from my mistake and will never be back! I had a WAY worse "nightmarish tenant" than the one described in Greg B.'s 3/24/2022 review, but instead of thanking BCR for helping me through it, I blame them for causing it - with their very lax tenant screening process! The extreme financial property losses I have suffered from my BCR nightmare far outweigh the small rental income I ever received. Homeowners and landlords BEWARE!!!

What was even better is the remarkable customer experience I had with Claire. Unlike most of the other showings where the conversation was hurried, cold and transactional, this one was warm, welcoming and actually enjoyable. Claire was gracious, very knowledgeable and thoughtful - even helping me consider what it would be like living in the house on a daily basis to make sure it would be a good fit for me. It was like meeting a new best friend - easy and friendly. Being an executive coach, I was intrigued and asked about her business. She talked about her owner partner, Kristin, how much they love their work helping good people find good homes. A day later, I went to their office and met Kristin. These two are special - smart, warm, engaging - and they know serving their customers exceptionally well is essential. They get it. Michael L.

I rate Alert Realty as consistently horrible with brief interludes of moderately miserable. The…read moreowner, Bryan, was a festering boil on the buttocks of the realty business and everything about Alert Realty was malignant, poisonous, and toxic. You could scrape the bottom of the barrel and that would be a vast improvement over anything his company had to offer. Thank goodness they have closed their doors and are no longer in business. There is a little less darkness in the world and Colorado's vibration just went up a notch. Being a property manager is a considerable responsibility and a position of integrity and authority and after being their customer for 14+ years, I would not trust Potter to manage an outhouse or a cesspool and if he used my outhouse, I'd check to see if the toilet paper was gone, he is so full of it. Alert Realty was a rancid abomination and blemish on the real-estate industry and Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! They have finally closed their doors! I don't know if it was negligence, incompetence, or just plain selfish greed that makes people like this think it's okay to put other people's health and even their lives at risk and to do so casually without a second thought, as standard operating procedure... business as usual. That contemptuous attitude earned Alert Realty the #1 spot on the Worst of Longmont list and made them a Top #10 contender on the Worst of Colorado list. They worked hard for it and they deserve it and I agree that they are the absolute worst Longmont had to offer. Alert Realty reminded that there are people in this world so despicable, there is little to compare them to. If there was a 'Golden Review' like a Golden Ticket or Golden Buzzer that would automagically put a company out of business, I would have used my Golden Review to put Alert Realty in the unemployment line where they belonged., Fortunately, for the world, the owner retired and will no longer be spewing his reckless business acumen upon the world. Ding Dong! The witch is dead! May Bryan Potter never come out of retirement! I was lucky in life in that this was my first experience with a slumlord and it was bewildering having to accept that I was renting from such deceitful, insincere people. I rented from them for almost 15 years and there were many reasons not to trust this company. I never trusted them to be unsupervised in my home and, at one point, considered getting a restraining order against them. They were disorganized, like a chicken without a head, and the leadership of that company had questionable integrity, so everyone who worked there fell into that category. The front face of the company, the 'leasing associate' Amanda was a poster child for 'unprofessional' with such awful communications skills, she should never be in customer-facing jobs. She was also an incredulous liar. Nearly every interaction with Amanda was unpleasant & made me upchuck and left a rotten taste in my mouth that was hard to get rid of. If I think of her still, I have to spit. Mr. Potters last act as my property mangler was to steal. He stole $150 or so from my deposit; he could legally steal my money because my lease said I should clean my carpet at move out. The carpet absolutely had to be replaced but still, Mr. Potter charged me to clean his 20-year-old carpet that was torn and disintegrating and could not possibly be washed. That is Bryan Potter's character or lack thereof. This is the caliber of integrity from Bryan. Zilch. Caput. Nada. The world should remember Bryan Potter is a common thief, abusing his position of authority and trust one last time. I write a bit and to process the experiences I had in dealing with this wretched company, I wrote numerous reviews but I also wrote a song, a poem and even a screenplay, all disparaging and vulgar. One couldn't honestly describe Potter and his rancid company without swearing a lot. The 1-2 star reviews tell the true story of this company and are the reviews to pay attention to. I doubt the validity of any 5-star reviews - when I see conflicting ratings and someone or something either gets a 1 or a 5, but nothing in between, one of them is probably bs. I graciously rated Alert 1 star because you can't rate less than that. Reviews are helpful but, these were rotten people and so, I felt that I should hold them accountable and file complaints against this company with the BBB (https://www.bbb.org) and with the National Rental Protection Agency (https://www.rentalprotectionagency.com/complaint_center.php) as well as Colorado Association of Realtors (www.coloradorealtors.com). If you encounter slumlords, you should report them there. I also reported them to the property owner who had trusted them in good faith even though their property was grossly neglected into disrepair. I hope she recovers from their considerable damages. This was a dangerous company to deal with for many. Great, they are gone!

This is the most frustrated I have ever been. It was a little complicated since we knew the owner…read moreand were working with both them and Alert and it was easy for miscommunications to arise. HOWEVER, their customer service (and just basic communication) was the worst I've ever seen. Me and Roommate #1 had already been approved for the house before we decided to include Roommate #2, which the owner said should be just fine. But R#1 had to move out of his place on the 1st and Alert hadn't let him sign the lease yet. When I explained his move-out deadline was coming up within the week, the front desk manager at Alert didn't seem to care at ALL. Stonewalling. Now I understand that they had to process R#2's application before he could move in, but they had absolutely no sympathy for R#1's situation. They never told us that all roommates had to apply before we could be approved and sign the lease. LUCKILY since we knew the owner, R#1 was able to move in before we signed the lease. But I could not believe how insensitive Alert was with regards to this situation. Now, the day after R#1 moved in, they finished processing our application and told us we were approved. When they read out the rent numbers, I explained "This is not the number the owner told us." I expected them to say "OK we can double-check with the owner." But of course they didn't care. She only said "This is the listed price." And again WOULD NOT BUDGE even though we had spoken with the owner directly. It felt extremely disrespectful. The owner emailed Alert the final numbers so they could be on the same page. But Alert wanted to schedule a lease signing ASAP. I texted them back "Can you please confirm the final numbers first? I don't want to gather all 4 roommates to find that the lease is incorrect." They texted back nothing but "Ok." Then 3 days later I call them up at 3pm while I am at work to ask for the price confirmation they promised. "Oh, we confirmed the numbers with R#1 on Friday and you have to come in at 4:30 today." I said "You never got back to me! I never scheduled this appointment." Stonewalling again: "You have to come in at 4:30, you're scheduled for 4:30." I say "How are we supposed to get all 4 of us together and get our money orders ready in an hour and a half?" She says, "It's 3pm now..." then "I'm really busy, thank you, goodbye" and hangs up. I am not the type of person to get angry, but in this situation I am LIVID. She would not even confirm the final rent and deposit numbers with me and I am supposed to get a check ready and gather my roommates together within basically an hour?? Just extreme rudeness and miscommunication. So SOMEHOW we all manage to get our checks in order from the bank after Alert texts me the final numbers, and all 4 of us are able to meet at the office at 4:30 either because we don't have work, or because work is OK with letting us out early (LAST MINUTE might I add.. Again, I don't know how Alert would have responded if we weren't able to have all 4 of us available because we were out of town, or couldn't get out of work. If I hadn't called in, we wouldn't have even known about the scheduled meeting!). Bryan (which I assume is the business owner) was more pleasant to work with than the front desk manager, but the meeting felt very weird and as if they were unprepared. The lease had an incorrect date and he kept forgetting to print out a few documents. If they were so busy and unprepared for us, why could they not have waited until the next day to sign the lease?? The whole process took over an hour and some of our time was wasted. We were able to sign the lease and pay in full but Bryan did not address my concern at the end of our meeting when I brought up the fact that they had not gotten back to me, and they gave us only an hour to prepare for our lease signing. I am so glad I don't have to deal with this company anymore, they have been rude and extremely miscommunicative. We are lucky they won't be managing the property. I never want to deal with them again.
