However, some residents are slobs, and expect too much of the overworked maintenance staff, and overload trash chutes. But my main concern is the overzeal parking permit/vehicle towing policy. Even if your car is parked legally in its' assigned spot, if a parking permit is not showing, your car will be towed to the tune of over $500 to get back (if retrieved immediately. This has happened to me twice, due to no fault of my own, [the permit WAS in the car] and I am a disabled veteran with PTSD issues and on a fixed income, so created severe issues for me. I'd move if that was an option. what is ironic, is that if your car is parked in someone ELSE's spot--nothing is done, as long as some random permit is showing: the number on the permit does not have to correspond to the parking spot number one is parked in. If this is your spot, you have no recourse: tenants have no authority to request a tow--it is just a random thing done by Morris & Son Towing, when they decide to enter the premises and make some money--which I highly suspect a portion of is kicked back to the facility management. Why else would they have such an aggressive program that causes problems when there is none, and ignores parking problems when they exist? It makes no sense otherwise. Other than that, the office staff (Delcia) is wonderful, and probably not privy to this kickback scheme. She tries really hard to keep the place clean, and deal with other problems the best she can. And the residents get along well, and I know of no issues of theft nor burglaries at this complex. Other than having your car suddenly & unexpectedly towed. I'd just park on the street instead, but it is too far for my disabled legs to walk.

I first met Kraig in 2010 when I was trying to buy a house in Rocklin (near Sacramento). Back in…read morethe housing crisis, there were a lot of short sales, and realtors needed a lot of skills and patience to close deals. Kraig helped me find a great house and was able to navigate the 4+ month short sale process. In 2016, I saw a house I wanted to buy and though I knew he was now primarily in the South Bay Area, and not in Sacramento, but I wanted to offer him the opportunity to help me with these transactions, or at worse, refer me to someone who could help. Kraig was more than helpful. He came up to Rocklin and we did a walk through of this house. He suggested an offering price and was able to negotiate an acceptable price. He had a network of people who could help with the home inspections and small repairs, so my stress level was quite minimal. He was available via phone, text and email which helped me be assured that everything was running smooth, even if we were miles apart. After buying this house, I needed to get my other house on the market and sold. Kraig was there for that whole process as well. With the open house and the repair people again helping to get whatever small repairs and inspections were necessary to get the house sold in record time. I know he can take his skills and dedication into the South Bay Area market, and know that Kraig is excellent and trustworthy of your time and dreams. No doubt he can help make your real estate dreams come true. Give him a call.

The professionals at Guide Real Estate made the experience palpable to me at least. We interviewed several realtors and when the interview with Guide was completed we already knew which direction we were going to go in despite still having to interview one more realtor. Prior to listing the home we had an estate sale. After the estate sale we literally stepped back and watch Guide Realtors take over. The Lehr's were fantastic. Alex and Drew priced the home for a quick sale. Denise Lehr coordinated the donation and/or disposal of all personal belongings that were left over after the sale. After the house was empty, Denise along with Katie coordinated with contractors to prepare the home for sale. They coordinated exterior and interior painting, upgrades to interior lighting, removal of all carpeting and refinishing the original 80 year old hardwood floors. Eric helped to keep us on track by insuring that all documentation was completed and signed on time. Once Guide Realty stepped in we were able to step back and let them take control. I can't recall the exact timing but the home had multiple offers after only one open house. With Alex's guidance we countered the offer and ultimately sold the home at $115,000 over listed price. Thank you so much Alex, Drew, Denise, Katie, and Eric.

The trash situation is disgusting, the dumpsters are always overflowing, with piles of mattresses, appliances, and couches just left around the property. The trash rooms on every floor are broken, and there's always trash and cardboard laying all over the floor. It's always the same people dumping their garbage without using the chutes, and no one is ever held responsible. There are even trash bags that have been sitting in the back walkways for months. The garage is filthy, lights are out(in the hallways as well, which very unsafe), and people leave their garbage on the ground without any accountability. The gates are constantly broken and left wide open, which only makes the situation worse. The hallways and exterior are dirty, and it's obvious that no one is keeping up with the property. Management is never on site, and the one maintenance guy is rarely seen. On top of the filth, there are always homeless people hanging around, tagging the building, smoking, drinking, and even urinating in the corners. It feels unsafe and unkept. To make matters worse, rent just went up by nearly $200, for what? Certainly not for upkeep, because nothing is improving here. Honestly, it feels like they're charging luxury prices for low income level living conditions. Really terrible management and living environment.

Having worked with multiple agents over the years, I can say without hesitation that Andy and Lori are in a different league. They are exceptionally responsive, knowledgeable, and effective. Throughout every transaction, they were always available to answer questions, provide guidance, and help navigate challenges. At the same time, they were never pushy and consistently focused on helping us make the decisions that were right for our family. Their deep experience in the Bay Area market, extensive local network, and outstanding reputation proved invaluable. Whether it was identifying opportunities, understanding market dynamics, coordinating inspections and contractors, or negotiating effectively, they consistently delivered results. Their relationships and credibility within the local real estate community clearly opened doors and helped transactions move smoothly. Most importantly, we always felt that Andy and Lori were genuine advocates for our interests. Buying and selling real estate can be stressful, but they brought professionalism, integrity, and a steady hand to every step of the process. We give Andy and Lori our highest recommendation and would not hesitate to work with them again in the future.

That's why, based on a recommendation from a friend, we reached out to Andy and Lori. From our very first phone call, we knew we wanted to work with them. We had countless questions, and our process took quite a long time, but throughout the entire journey they treated us with patience, understanding, and genuine care. They were always ready to help and answer every single one of our questions -- even the silly ones. We are incredibly grateful to Andy and Lori for helping us find our dream home. We truly appreciate all of their hard work, dedication, and support. Our home brings us joy every single day, and we couldn't have done it without them. Thank you so much, Andy and Lori!

Based on our incredible buying experience, we knew without a doubt that they were the team we wanted in our corner. Working with them is never just transactional--they genuinely care. They took the time to understand us, what we loved about our home, and the nuances of our neighborhood and neighbors. Because of this, they didn't just list a house; they beautifully marketed a lifestyle and a narrative. The entire team is incredibly collaborative, highly informed, and armed with fantastic advice. Moving across the country is inherently stressful, but they completely took the weight off our shoulders. Their communication was flawless, always keeping us ahead of the game with clear instructions and seamless vendor coordination. They staged the home beautifully, hosted a prompt and successful open house, and ultimately secured us a dream offer with a quick close. Kat, Bob, and Teagan are an absolute powerhouse team.

Despite my cooperation with their frequent open house schedules to accommodate pushy developers/buyers, they managed to make sure the property owners (both new and old) got everything they wanted, because why bother treating lowly renters with any sort of courtesy? I'm sure they got a nice commission out of the place, so this review really is pretty pointless, but if I'm ever in the market to buy a home, I want a realtor who treats buyers, sellers, and tenants with respect--regardless of who has financial interest. I'm an easygoing and clean tenant, had no pets living in the unit, no mess, etc. so not really sure what they were so concerned about. I was promised by seller and realtor that both would give me a great reference (since I ended up getting 60 days' notice literally the day the sale closed), yet when prospective landlords called the Colangelo group, they couldn't be bothered to respond. I get that they don't have to offer me a reference, but then why bring it up? Two stars because they did always tell me when they would be coming by (I realize this is the law, but we're setting the bar low here), and I can't speak to how they actually operate from a buyer's or seller's perspective. Hey, we all know that money talks.
