Stay away!!! This is probably one of the worst Property Management firms around. Instead of…read morehaving a traditional office with Property Managers working out of it they have a shell office in Franklin and all the 'Managers' are remote - such as in the Philippines or India. When you contact them they of course have no idea of what is going on with the property you live in. NOrmally a real company would have the Property Manger go out and look at whatever issue there is but when they are in the Philippines that is obviously impossible. You then have to blame the Trustees for staying with them instead of going to a normal company where the Property Manager assigned can be on site in a short amount of time to look over whatever issue there is. So if you are a condo complex with an HOA then i warn you against PMI or any Property Management Co. that has their managers working 'remote' as in out of the country.

It destroyed my condominium and the manager felt no remorse or concern.

I I think any condominium could do much better than this organization as they have failed to serve us in so very many ways.​

Not as wide spread as Centre Realty Group, but the Realtor we worked with, Michelle was much more…read moreprofessional (no political tirades). So why the mediocre rating? Well it was a series of events that got my hopes up only to lead to disappointment soured my experience. Also they don't really have much inventory. I will say that this company has the lowest "fee" for the place we were looking out of any of the other agencies. It was just a straight forward credit report from Experian that you could keep and use for future applications $15/person. (However, we all know all the other agencies won't trust you. They want you to fritter your money to pay a fee for their arbitrary credit report.) Then the usual stuff like pay stubs, W2 and references from previous landlord. I found a listing (too late) on Zillow for an ideal location with reasonable price, and she still agreed to show it to us which was nice since the property owners were still vetting candidates. She also tried to push this other undesirable (and overpriced) apartment that had been on the market for months in lieu of the current one. I can't help but feel like she just wanted to show more qualified candidates for consideration to boost her and the agency's reputation - when all along they were going to pick the first applicant anyway (to avoid potential accusations of discrimination). She even set up a meeting with the Property Managers for a small interview at their office location after hours. Regrettably she informed us that they chose the other applicant since they were equally qualified. I thought that the "dream place" slipped through our fingers. We asked her to keep us in mind for other rental units with similar stats, but we never heard from her again. Thankfully we got in touch with another realty group and found something else around the same price point. The absolute best part was that not even a month after we moved in we received an e-mail from Michelle and she said the same property was now available again for rental at the start of the following month! We let her know we found something else, but we were curious what happened. Of course I understand that she doesn't want to reveal what happened, but it's truly funny how things work out sometimes. Think RES is a professional company overall and I didn't get the scummy vibe from them (like CRG) so they could very well work for you. I recommend continuing to look as well on your own if you're a renter as I mentioned earlier there's not a huge inventory of places.

She helped us find an amazing rental in Canton, and a couple years later our dream home in Sharon. Elizabeth listened to and understood our unique needs and preferences, sharing specific properties she thought we would like (and she was always right!). She was extremely patient and responsive as we took our time to find the right home for us, seeing so many places with us and never pushy or rushing us. She always acted in our best interest and is someone who not only knows the real value of a home, but can suss out the ins and outs of any property to an incredibly impressive level. She has incredible advice and also has amazing recommendations and connections to people who have made the whole home buying and moving process easier - from movers to contractors. Elizabeth made what can typically be an overwhelming and stressful process, very comfortable. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor who will be in your corner.

Not only do we own our first house, but we got our dream home. Even after closing, she is extremely helpful and a great resource. We couldn't be happier with our experience working with her.
