Tom Rotella was my property manager for over two years. He is friendly and personable and quite…read moreknowledgeable about the VT rental market. During the two years that Tom worked for me, I was mostly satisfied with his work. Our phone communication was always good; his email responsiveness, however, was not always the best. However, after my recent experience with him, which resulted in the termination of our working relationship, I must say I have come to question his judgement, integrity as well as accountability. Problems arose when I decided to raise the rent in one of my units this past summer and asked Tom to notify the tenants in spring. For months he assured me that everything was fine, the tenants had been notified and, when renewal time came, a new lease had been signed. However, after we failed to collect the new rent amount for several months in a row, I contacted my tenants, at which point it became clear that Tom had never pursued the lease renewal. Tom Rotella has let me down in a big way by failing to have my tenants sign an agreed upon lease renewal with a rent increase, which resulted in their tenancy becoming month-to-month as well as hundreds of dollars in lost revenue. Once I confronted him with the evidence and asked to see the lease, he stopped responding altogether. I wrote Tom one last email, giving him a chance to clarify and possibly rectify the situation. He has not responded to my email to this day. I therefore cannot recommend Tom Rotella to anyone looking for a reliable and dependable property manager.

They send emails at ridiculous hours late at night, but somehow still manage to be completely useless when you actually need them to do their job. The whole process feels backwards. They want you to pay application fees and background check fees before they will even properly show you the property, which is absolutely insane. Why would anyone want to hand over money before even being able to see what they are applying for? They are also completely unwilling to work with people on even the most basic, simple requests. I asked for a small amendment that every other landlord I have ever had would have made in about five minutes, and they just flat-out rejected it. No flexibility, no compromise, no common sense, just a hard no for something that should not have been a big deal at all. If you have any kind of actual life, school, work, military obligations, travel, or need to leave town for more than a week or two, I would stay far away from this company. They act like any small request is some massive inconvenience and make the entire process way more difficult than it needs to be. I would never rent from them, never recommend them, and never consider any of their properties again. Zero stars if I could. Complete waste of time.

We were robbed and requested some security features, they claimed they needed to discuss this with the owner and we never heard back. These were simple things like permission to install an exterior motion light. Problems caused by their "tenant-monitored" parking lot are blamed on tenants. There are signs that claim they have cameras, none have been installed in the year we resided there. Definitley do not recommend them to college students or anyone with a family. They simply do not care about the wellbeing, safety, or comfort of their tenants. There is better property management out there!

These people missed out on a family who desperately needed the home, had the money, and qualifications as well as willingness to negotiate on how to make us work out. We received a letter stating we were denied (after we were under the impression we were approved) and I asked for an explanation and got no response. Upset is an understatement. The biggest complaint I have is the lack of communication, and not having the courtesy to answer our questions. If you're looking for good people to work with DO NOT give these people your money.

After decades of owning cars-mostly Prius to more easily drive around Northern VA, I decided to get an AWD when my last Prius needed to be replaced. I was convinced there was only one brand to look at-a non-Nissan brand. I am still kicking myself over my narrow view and stubbornness. I drove that non-Nissan for almost 2 years and then decided I did not want to continue making large payments for 4 more years so I started considering leasing. This change was scary for me. I am now driving a Nissan Kicks and I look forward to driving. It's fun! Plus, the car (Kicks SR) has all kinds of bells and whistles I would not have been able to afford in the other brand-the brand I stubbornly told my younger self I had to have. I never really looked forward to driving that other car-it didn't feel fun to me, but I was okay with that. Driving my Kicks reminds me of how much I really like to drive. I am so glad I finally found an open mind. Leasing a Kicks is pretty great! Thank you Samantha for being very patient in capturing my "must haves" and showing me several cars. And thank you Shain for making a typically confusing, impersonal, lengthy paperwork process more enjoyable. Together they helped me get a car and leasing deal that are a perfect fit for me!

DONT BUY FROM THIS DEALERSHIP: My car buying experience…read moreshould have been straight forward and easy for any of the sales staff. I was pre-approved by my lender; I had researched the make and model of the car I wanted and was ready to purchase. Freedom Nissan in South Burlington, VT had a Mazda that I was interested in buying. This is my experience with this business. Treating me horribly was completely unnecessary. All they do is lie! 1. We sat down with Seth Quittner, who immediately wanted to know about our trade in. I told him that we were interested in test driving the Mazda. He went with us. We noticed the "Blind Spot Prominently Sensor" warning light was on. Seth stated that "it was common with heavy rain or snow" - he got calls about it all the time, no big deal". It was raining quite hard, so we didn't think much of it. That was a LIE! 2. Once I decided to buy the car, there was no negotiating the price. Seth makes it sound like he will take your offer and go back to the owner and ask if they can do it. It's a con game. I watched him do it with other customers. Instead, Kyle Nichols, the manager came out and I got shown a sheet of paper, which has a list of all the Mazda's in the area and they didn't even let me hold it to read it. I was told they have the best pricing. I had already vetted the car with my lender and the price was decent, but this tactic is what they do with everyone. 3. In order to complete the paperwork process, you get taken upstairs. Shain Quartz was being trained on the process by Kyle Nichols. Shain called me a day after I had signed my documents to tell me that he made an error and that I needed to drive back to their office and resign them. I asked him to email me the documents to show what changes he had made. Not only did he not email me, he sent my documents that he made changes to, without me knowing what they were on to my lender. That is illegal. When I spoke with Kyle Nichols about it, his response to me was "Shain is a nice person, he is being trained, how can you hurt his feelings? THAT IS WHAT THEY ALL DO; THEY DEFLECT FROM THE REAL ISSUE AND NEVER GIVE YOU A STRAIGHT ANSWER. 4. On the day I purchased the car, as I was leaving, I noticed the fob was broken. When I asked Seth if they could fix it, he told me they are "NOT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP", THEY ARE A SMALL BUSINESS and that fixing the fob would cost $75.00. I just purchased a car that was over $20,000.00 and they turned fixing the fob into a MAJOR ordeal. I went to Kyle Nichols, who is the manager. He agreed to replace the fob but I had to drive to the Mazda dealership in Montpelier to get it fixed. He paid them directly and I picked up the fob thinking that was the last interaction I would have with this business. I WAS WRONG!!!!!!!!!!! And I found out why I needed to go to the Montpelier location - Freedom Nissan is shady. 5. I made an appointment with the Burlington Mazda dealership to have the sensor looked at. Apparently, Freedom Nissan KNEW THE SENSOR WAS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED before they put it on the lot for sale. THEY KNOWINGLY SOLD ME A CAR WITH A SAFTEY ISSUE. They got an estimate, chose to put the part in themselves and never had it calibrated. The cause of the sensor not working was due to an accident, which was not disclosed on the car fax sheet. Seth told me it was due to rain! Mazda sold Kyle the part but could not confirm if they had installed it. This situation required me to text Kyle and ask him. Another tactic they use, is only wanting to talk to you on the phone, so nothing is in writing. The lies in our text conversation are mind blowing. Kyle: Freedom Nissan did not do the work on the car; we paid Mazda to repair it. LIE - We don't repair electronics on non-Nissans. We always do the right thing and pay the manufacturer. Another LIE! - I'm working on getting a copy from Mazda I'll report back. If we could chat on the phone real quick - I got a lot of info Me: It was looked at, not fixed at the Mazda dealership. Email it to me please, I was told by Mazda, Freedom Nissan did not complete having it fixed there. They need to know if you put in a new module somewhere else. And if you say you did, why wasn't it calibrated? Kyle: What does Mazda say needs to happen? I misread the internal notes looks like Mazda gave us the module to fix. Me: Are you saying Mazda gave you the part? Kyle: It appears we brought it to Mazda, they sold us a module, then our technician repaired it. Are they requesting for a calibration of this module? This review platform doesnt give me enough space to tell you the rest of the story... they refused to pay for the repair unless I signed a non disclosure / settlement document - I was yelled at - I was told by Mort Shipario that I needed to "Step Back about calling them liars". - which was a threat. I have never been subjected to such unprofessional, unethical, cons like this before - totally discusting.
