Lived at Fayne Apartments (studio) for 2 years. Very unluxury living but doable for people looking…read morefor little more than a roof over their heads. Could find a much better place for the price. (650 not including utilities) Pros: - Excellent location to Case Campus and uptown. - Quiet area. - Adequate heating via steam radiator throughout winter. Good water heat/pressure. - Relatively safer part of university circle area, though I would still exercise caution late at night. - Water and heat included. Responsive management to simple maintenance requests - No fuss with moving out and getting deposit back Cons: - When I moved in, my unit was infested with roaches which took about 6 months to resolve. They just kept sending the same guy to spray more and more pesticides to the point where I started feeling sick and developing a cough. They finally sealed off some holes in the walls after I hounded management, and I never saw a roach again after that. - My bathroom ceiling fell in because of an upstairs leak - Street parking is available but difficult to grab a spot - Old school lock and key security - Mail just gets dropped communally on the front steps and I've had a package stolen once out of ~20 deliveries - Window was very poorly sealed so people smoking or talking on the street made it seem like they were basically inside your apartment - The flooring was ancient hardwood which gave me splinters sometimes. It was bowing so badly that my desk chair kept rolling away and I had to put 5inches of hardwood beneath the legs on one side of my bed otherwise it felt like I was sleeping on the side of a hill.

I politely asked to be released from the lease because rodents was not part of the deal. Their reply was for me to sublet the apartment for the final 2 months. Why would I sublet an apartment that has mice? My other issue is they changed laundry companies without notification and left me holding the bag with a $14 credit from the previous company. I was told I should work out getting my money back from the laundry company as they are a 3rd party vendor with Montlack Realty and there is no obligation from Montlack Realty to resolve this issue. WOW!!

Crestview Apartments: Pros:…read more- staff are highly responsive by phone or email, friendly. Maintenance staff, Delroy and Tim, also very helpful. - I'd like to emphasize this: you call or email Montlack and they reply with an answer or solution very quickly- anything from when I broke my garage opener to when I found one of the clothes dryer machines to be broken. There is no concern about being left with any serious issues here and to be able to trust a landlord is a huge huge plus! - $50/mo gets you a spot in the top or bottom floor of a garage which is secure with a quickly moving door - window a/c units can be rented for $10 each per month - well-maintained lawn and front landscaping areas make the buildings not unsightly - walking distance to Little Italy, less than 1 mile to UH medical buildings, a grocery store or two just a few miles away - water and heat are paid for - bike room available in basement of each building - all windows easily open/close and have screens, back door has a locking screen door as well - secure entryway with locked doors to get in through front or side of the building and then your locked front and side doors - huge amount of space for my 1-bedroom (over 900 sq ft for $960/mo) and no carpet - two ceiling fans w/lights in your main rooms. - each floor has its own front balcony area or your unit will have its on personal balcony - all of my neighbors seem to be really upstanding individuals who are not messy or obnoxious party animals but instead seem to be PhD and health professions students, professionals, and even some with children - cats allowed without extra rent Cons: - maximum of 2 outlets per room, and ~50% are ungrounded meaning they pose electrical fire hazards (no longer legal to install in new buildings) AND they only have two prongs. This means you are really limited as to where you plug in many modern devices which have 3-pronged cords e.g. Macbook chargers. Bring powerstrips. - built in 1920 so the wood floors are creaky. Then again you'll never have an unknown guest, right? Might be a plus. - front and back doors are convenient however the stairs are many to the 3rd and 4th floors. The marble floors are slippery from the front entrance and the back entrance/the entrance leading to the driveway are metal with gaps in between them- statistically it is only a matter of time and/or weather until I fall and injure myself. - if you have anything other than a compact car, each trip to your parking space in the garage requires a trip down a narrow driveway. You will likely scratch up your car doing this- it is only a matter of time and trips! The entrance to the upper garage driveway is flanked by two boulders which are also rough to hit (you just gotta see this to get an idea of how uniquely narrow it is to navigate) and no lighting of any sort, so it is difficult to get oriented to the driveway in the dark - no microwave provided - no air conditioning provided. You can rent a/c window units for $10/ea/mo. - no laundry in-unit; each washer/dryer load is $1.25 and requires quarters - no package room. Amazon delivers to outside the building which can be risky if you receive expensive items. - radiators in every room for heat; will be turned on my office and temp managed by them once temp drops to below 60 degrees for 3 days in a row - must contact the city to park overnight on the street (guests) - no outgoing mailbox on site

Grace was responsive and sold our house within 1 week of listing above asking price. She was fantastic from the start and met with us and gave great advice on what would work and what we could reasonably list for. She also has a knack for social media and did a great job presenting the house on IG and the media outlets. When we had an issue with the inspection, she helped me find a local contractor and let them in and was responsive to all my texts and calls. She was absolutely amazing and easy to work with. I was blown away with her service. If you are looking for an agent who actually pays attention and has a clear plan, she is your person.

Andy and Heather Manchen are hands down the best real estate agents we've ever seen, and are also…read morethe friendliest and most professional people you'll ever meet. They made our cross-country move to Ohio feel like smooth sailing amongst even the roughest of waters, and more than delivered on their promise to find us our dream home! We were matched with them by chance over a year ago, and now we feel like the luckiest people in the world. After covid caused us to postpone our move for an entire year back in 2020, Andy and Heather remained by our side to constantly check in with us - and to scope out the best areas to meet our dream home requirements. After a year, we flew out to Ohio several times to narrow down our top picks, and each trip Andy and Heather arranged our appointments to work out seamlessly (they even adjusted their schedules to be open and available for us all day.) Each step of the way, the Manchen team made sure that we remained informed, comfortable, and well taken care of. Whether it was a Zoom call, FaceTime meeting, text message, or last-minute phone conversation, the Manchen's were fully invested in securing our dream home. No matter day or night, they answered every call within seconds, and I never once had a call go to their voicemail. In short, they were quick and attentive to the many things we needed help with throughout the difficult cross-country moving process - which made our stressful move such a joy! Looking back, we never would have been able to get the home of our dreams if it weren't for Andy and Heather's passionate assistance and strong negotiation skills. Even during the last few days of closing, they stepped in to save the day when things beyond our control started to spiral - which helped us tremendously as we were driving across the country. They did everything in their power to make things go smoothly and promptly, and saved us so much headache by going above and beyond to do a lot of work for us behind the scenes. Don't waste your time looking anywhere else - because the Manchen team will not disappoint. They have unequivocally earned our lifelong business and referral - just as I know they'll do for you. Thank you, Andy and Heather!!

As first time home buyer, no idea of anything about home buying , I gave my full trust to Heather I know I am protected and she always see to it, its for my best interest.
