I have been a client of Aquarius for 9 months, and have been very impressed with their handling of my property. The entire team at Aquarius has been extremely professional, and gone out of their way to handle my questions and concerns. Since Aquarius has taken over management of my property, they have conducted two video "walk-throughs" which make me feel as if I was on location. I highly suggest Aquarius Property management.

They are not worth your business and they will only disrespect your time, without even apologizing for any inconvenience their total lack of communication may have caused you! If I could give them 0 or negative stars, I'd gladly do that for Aquarius Property Management!! Outstandingly poor business practices!! I ended up finding a much better house elsewhere anyway, where I dealt with people who understand the value of communication and proper customer service. This company does not deserve your business, and-as a hard working law abiding customer, you certainly don't deserve to be treated poorly during your home search. Please do yourself a favor, and deal with another company! Good luck in your home search!

Michael is a breath of fresh air. As a renter, if you call him and a prospective place ends up not being a fit, he takes the time to talk to you and see if he has anything else that is a FIT. Note-not just something to sell you on. An actual fit that makes sense. As for owners/landlords-My boyfriend and I came home last week to an entry with burst pipes. The OWNER of the building was out of town and had his heat way too low in his unit on the first floor. The entry pipes were part of that, had burst. We heard water and called him, and he walked us through shutting off the water main valve and was on site within 30 minutes, had a repairman there the same day. That is hard to do in January in a huge freeze! But he has an established network of professional service people. If we had just gotten voicemail who knows how much damage would have happened. He really takes care of things and protects landlords when they don't know they need it. Highly recommend!

I was hired for a restoration project in Portland, and upon finding severe hidden damage, the GPM project manager explicitly directed me to complete extensive out-of-scope work with the promise of full compensation. After I put in hundreds of hours of labor, GPM refused to honor their verbal directives and tried to hide behind the initial flat-rate quote. I was forced to file a Mechanic's Lien and a civil lawsuit just to get paid. Ultimately, GPM refused to take financial responsibility for the work they ordered. The distressed property owner had to step in and pay me thousands of dollars directly out of his own pocket to clear the title to his building. Don't hire GPM as your property management company! They do NOT have your best interest! If you do contract work for GPM, do not lift a hammer without a signed change order! Even then.....beware! Dishonesty in the ranks is enabled from the top.

Severe bed bug infestation. Bricklight refusing to resolve it.. They said call and have modern pest…read morecome yourself. I did and they won't come in without having a contract or the landlord's contacting them directly.I am choosing to leave due to this and the day that I was finishing moving out and have texted them saying Please let me know if I can't park in the parking lot while moving, they tow my car. Mind you when I first moved in I was told by my original roommate Charlotte and Marielle that parking was available for all tenants after 5 PM and only until 7 AM. The residents that parked there during the day pay for their spots specifically $40 I was told . I asked to buy a parking spot and when I first purchased it, it was fine to park there day and night which is why I purchased it to begin with. They decided to change this again and say even if you pay for a spot, you can't park there during the day unless u want to pay much more. I wouldn't have gotten a spot if I knew I was only paying for nighttime use when that was available to everyone and still is ? Up until September, I parked in the parking lot without anything ever being sent to me otherwise and I never thought that this was wrong until they suddenly started saying the parking pass that I purchased was not valid for the daytime.. They have now towed me three times. For some reason, YAZ towing always has a different price. It says in the parking lot on signs parking reserve for MAINE med workers however, there are no main Med workers that park there so the sign is misleading and a false reason to tow residents. I can never sleep here. They are very well aware of this and I am desperate to get out of this building. The fact that they know knew I was moving out officially today and they tow my car during the process? Makes absolutely no sense to me. Also, I have not been able to use the oven here since this began. I can hardly use the fridge and I have to clean that daily. I really hope for the next tenant they actually swap out the fridge and the oven. Because it would be really disturbing for them to have somebody move in here who actively told them they are both infested in bed bedbugs. It is so disappointing that this could've been so avoided and this is something a tenant should never endure. It says in the lease that they handle pest control. I have harmed myself on multiple occasions with pesticide and chemicals and industrial steamer trying to solve this on my own. A professional is needed. They are aware of this. I have offered to pay for modern pest coming, begged, cried. I can't believe how careless they are to their tenants who have paid them monthly for a year and a half. They are well aware of how this is affected my quality of life. They have been given a letter from my doctor in so much more. I'm not the only person going through this here.

Mainely Properties...where do I start?…read more My husband's job was relocated to Portland and this is the FIRST PM Company we inquired. Like most places, MPM required a $20 background check fee for a property. No big deal. We paid the $40 the night BEFORE we saw the Apt we were so excited about. Drove 2 hours the next day from MA to see the apt and met Zach who enthusiastically showed us the place. He thought we would make "great tenants" and said he'd talk to the owner of said property, and we'd have an answer on Friday (we visited Weds). Friday came and went...nothing. The following week came and went...nothing! We didn't get a response til over 2+ weeks later saying that "the apt has been rented to somebody else"...gotta LOVE that classic line! Mind you this is after emailing the owner of the company AND multiple emails/phone calls to Zach + Co which the majority went UNANSWERED. We also inquired about a couple other properties we were interested in...but all we got is SILENCE! And it's PATHETIC that this "Property Management Company" wouldn't give my husband and I a chance to rent knowing our DIRE situation facing being homeless... If someone can explain to me why ANY PM company would turn away a Veteran--who has a Federal position--and his family AWAY (even w/not such stellar credit), please PM me. We're still looking for a 2BR 3 months later, still facing homelessness AND that $40 we paid could've gone to our Special Needs toddler. This place IS a joke. The owner should be embarrassed.

I spent $7000 on fuel in 5 months and froze my a$$ off. My son and I had pneumonia and so did my dog who I had to put down. There was flaking lead paint, asbestos, frozen pipes, no working appliances. AND MAINELY PM COULD CARE LESS!!! They never answer the phone, rarely call back. The maintenance people were unlicensed and had no idea what they were doing. The lawn was mowed four times in a year. Yelp needs to give Zero stars as an option.
