They advertise various below & almost average apartments on CL. If you find a listing you like, you apply and write a good faith deposit check along with application fee, present it to their office and surprisingly the agent disappears. Fred, the property manager is as arrogant and impolite person I ever met. His unprofessionalism and failure to return client phone calls are just a few of his declining traits. Their office is littered by empty cigarette boxes, lack of seating, and mold-like smell makes it difficult to discuss anything important. My experience was terrible and I would not advise anyone to not make the same mistakes I made by trusting them. They are seldom available and when they are, they are dishonest & lack basic respect for their clients. Stay away, far away as possible. Fred Keller is not worth your stress or the enormous disappointments which inevitable lie ahead.

I recommend that you stay far away. They are unprofessional, disorganized and their office looks like a time capsule from 1972. Fred is rude, uncooperative and unreasonable.

Thank you, Franky and Team!…read more If you are looking for a house in the DMV area, Franky is the perfect agent! HE IS THE PERSON WHO HELP US TO FIND THE HOUSE JUST WITHIN THE 2nd OFFER in NICE AREA! My husband and I met Franky at one of the open houses in Washington DC. At that time, we didn't have any idea about the home-purchasing process. Even Though we searched online, we still got lost since we didn't know what the first step was and what our priority was. Franky helped us to understand the overall process, and encouraged us to think about our future life to set the goal of home-purchasing. Even Though we were not his clients at the moment, he gave us a 1-hour presentation of the whole process with the pamphlet. When we decided to go with Franky, he tried his best for us to find our FIRST HOME with some of our considerations. Since both of us work full-time, he made house-tour appointments or meetings (regarding making offers) after work hours. After our offer was accepted, Franky and his team gave sufficient advice regarding everything, such as locking the mortgage, depositing, final walk through, and the settlement! It took only 6 weeks to move into the new home since we started to look at the house to buy. As you can see my name, I am a foreigner and the whole process seemed overwhelming for me. However, Franky helped my husband and I to relieve the stress by communicating with the selling agent and title company. (Oh, I heard that he speaks English as well as Spanish). If my friend who came from foreign country asks me to recommend any agent, I will recommend FRANKY and his team! I am writing this review in my new, cozy room, where I dreamed about since I immigrated here. I can convince that if you work with Franky, you will never regret.

From day one, he truly listened to our needs and gave thoughtful recommendations about what would be a good long-term investment versus what might end up being a money pit. He wasn't the type to push for a quick sale--in fact, he pointed out property damage and issues we might've missed on our own, which really built our trust. He stood out among all the other real estate agents we attempted working with. Thanks to his guidance and expertise, we ended up getting our top-choice home in just eight days! The process was seamless from start to finish. Even recently, when we needed to relocate, Peter offered to help us find renters and has continued to be supportive. We'll absolutely be working with him again when it's time to sell. As first time home buyers, we felt we got amazing value for the services provided. Highly recommend Peter and the Red Cedar Real Estate team for anyone looking for a knowledgeable, genuine, and reliable agent.

The best way to describe Peter and Red Cedar is high touch, white glove - concierge service. Peter knew the market and had a powerful team of equally adept realty professionals. Nothing happened without Peter's knowledge and he always focused on what was best for us: Initially meeting through closing. Here's where the professionalism goes to another level - Peter builds relationships with his clients, throws mixers, and checked up on us a couple of times per year. And, he DIDN'T ASK US FOR THE NEXT DEAL each time he subtly checked in on us over 5 years! He and his team cares about you - long term not just to get a sale. After 5 years of relationship building, we called Peter and the Red Cedar team for support. He came over. We completed representation paperwork, his AMAZING 360 degree Ariel and interior video/photography genius turned up and transformed our house into a buyer's beacon that sold our home within 24-48 hours of posting - FULL PRICE OFFER!!!! This is Red Cedar - all day long. After getting an offer, Peter and his team coordinate every document, appointment, and follow-up like a well oiled machine. The signing appointment was completely painless without any hiccups in the paperwork or payout - again, Peter and Red Cedar are professionals and the service providers (Ex. Title Company) were exceptional too. Thanks Peter and Red Cedar for your exemplary support, education, and caring over 5 years!

So close to "downtown" Wheaton and the mall/metro but tucked away in a quieter area. The area is very walkable with plenty of residential streets for walking, biking, dog-walking, etc. - Size: Apartments are very large compared to others in the area. I lived alone in a deluxe 1-br and never felt cramped in the slightest. Bathroom, kitchen, living area and bedroom were all big and could easily accommodate another tenant. I do miss the large balcony (I don't have one at my new apartment). - Leasing Office: The staff were generally friendly and helpful. I always had great service with a smile from Calvin, as well as others on the team. Most of the negative issues I experienced here are no direct fault of the leasing office. If you can get a top floor unit and are lucky to be in a building that's not shared with habitual door-slammers (Noise was the biggest issue for me), it's not a bad place to live. Parking is free, they hold regular community events and the location is great.
