I have lived in The Union Building (TUB) aka Clinton Street Lofts for over 4 years and it's going…read moreto be difficult to leave for many reasons including all the new development around and the building manager Denice. Over the years Denice has been very flexible allowing me to redo our bathroom and more recently she has replaced our carpets and made sure our dishwasher was fixed. When I think about moving below are reasons that keep me at The Union Building. LIVING - The building is pretty quiet and everyone really stays to them self. Typically there is someone at the front desk from 7pm to 7am, but the cameras are rolling all day and the building manager, Denice checks them all the time. At times, it can be a bit difficult to get in contact with Denice, because she manages a handful of other properties in North Jersey but, if you email her she responds immediately and does her best to ensure your needs are addressed in a timely manner. Also, you can typically find her in the office from 9am-5pm located in the basement past the laundry room, gym and 1920's style boiler! LOCATION - Located in the heart of downtown Newark, there's no need for a car. If you do have a car, TUB is less than 5 minutes from the major highways like the garden state parkway, njturnpike, routes 1&9 and 78. Although, there is no parking on the street, there are a few parking lots around that offer decent monthly rates compared to Hoboken, Jersey City and NY. Within a two block walking radius there's Seton Hall Law, Rutgers School of Business, all the Prudential buildings including the Center where NJ Devil's play, New Jersey Performing Arts Center, the newly developed Military Park, booming bars and restaurants i.e. Dinosaur BBQ, LOFT 47, Chipotle, among many other delicious places; and most importantly for those without a car, Newark Penn Station. Homeless, deranged folk aside Newark Penn Station is a major hub for all forms of public transportation; PATH, NJ TRANSIT train and bus, AMTRAK, Greyhound, and my favorite Bolt Bus are all a 7 minute walk away. From the bustling station, Midtown Manhattan is less than 25 mins away on PATH or NJ Transit and the Amtrak Acela reaches DC in less than 3 hours. If you need to go to the airport the go28 around the corner from TUB on Broad and Market Street gets you to any terminal in about 15 minutes for $1.50 !!!! Which brings me to my next point.... AFFORDABLE - Compared to most other properties in the area, TUB are the most affordable per sq. ft and also offer the most square footage around that I've seen. now I'm estimating but, one bedrooms are as small 600 sq ft and the largest 2 bedroom is 1100sq ft. and I believe the apartments range from $1100 to $1900 - opposed to other building nearby that charge almost twice that for half the space. ARCHITECTURE- A Pre-War building so the exterior and common area details and quality are always a pleasant conversation starter for guests who are partial to Newark. If Clinton Street Loft's had a roof top deck, washer dryer in apartments, and took better care of the outside structure you would be looking at 5 stars, but since the rooftop is covered in solar panels, I lug my laundry to the basement and our windows haven't been washed ever- I felt 3 stars was "A-OK".

And this site telling me that the response time is around 20 mins is absurd. Youre 20 mins late 3.5 weeks ago. Website - epitome of laziness and lack of professionalism.

Even months after the sale, when I reached out with tax-related questions and requests for documentation, he was prompt, helpful, and just as attentive as ever.

They are uneducated and very insecure about it. The only reason they are where they are is because of their father. They are dismissive, condescending, rude, and think they are smarter than you when they are so obviously overcompensating for their lack of education and social skills. My personal experience there was awful. No respect for my years of professional experience, just focused on negativity and trying to prove me wrong. They have no clue how to manage people outside of bullying people and tenants to do what they want. Their property management practices are borderline illegal, they have no respect for their tenants whatsoever as anyone can tell by reading the multiple bad reviews regarding the locations they manage. I have seen the reviews over the years and it is very obvious current tenants have been told to give five star reviews to try and make the company's rating improve. A toxic environment to say the least and I got out of there as soon as I could.

The thought that someone would present something like this to a human is crazy. I would not even had presented such to a dog. I will be prepared to clean it but this should not be the case. I have high standards when it comes to cleanliness. Please improve your standards when it comes to customer service. UPDATE UPDATE....The customer service is horrible. Lying and BEING EXTREMELY OFFENSIVE is not considered good customer service. One thing I do not like is assumptions, especially when decisions are made based on them. Assumptions are not funny, just being honest. I WOULD NOT RENT FROM THIS COMPANY if I were you! RUN LIKE CRAZY NOW! I am super crazy for being here honestly. This is definitely wayyyyy different from anything I have ever experienced in all the states and cities that I have lived in. I will be reporting this company to the United States of America. Biden or someone at the top of America needs to be aware seriously. There is no way something like this should be in existence in the American society. Right is right, and wrong is wrong.

We bought a house this fall under the expert guidance of June Raegner. It was a very difficult…read moremarket with low inventory in our price range. June kept our spirits up as we kept on losing bid after bid, never pressuring us to just bid higher! Finally we won a bid, with a slightly higher offer than we had been making up to that point together with a lot of subtle contract terms that June finessed to give us an edge. That was just the beginning, as she kept on pushing for favorable conditions for the final sale, and coordinating the endless supply of additional activities before closing. Although it was our first time buying a house, we were probably significantly above-average in our overall preparation and research of market conditions. Even with all this, there were many things that we were not aware of that June was very familiar with. She did much more for us than we could have reasonably expected, we were very lucky to have her as our agent. She really took care of us. There is no way we could have gotten that kind of attention from one of the big commercial agencies.

His level of organization and support really stood out. To make sure I was ready to move quickly, he provided a detailed checklist of all the documents needed for the application process and reviewed everything for completeness before we even started tours. When we did our walk-throughs, we saw almost 20 apartments in a single day. He filmed video clips of every unit and posted them to WhatsApp immediately, which allowed me to get instant feedback from my family and compare options in real-time. He was incredibly responsive throughout the financial approval and contract negotiations, making the logistical side of the move much easier to handle. I'm now settled into my new place in Carnegie Hill, and it's exactly what I was looking for. Russell is professional, highly responsive, and genuinely cares about his clients.
