I recently lived at Applegate for a year…read more Pros: Seamless and efficient move-in experience. Pleasant and helpful leasing agent Despite some of the rumors I heard about that area, a surprisingly quiet area and neighborhood. Workers that kept the areas clean Speedy maintenance My unit had new appliances, large rooms and a lot of space. Cons: Outrageously, thin walls. And neighbors with no consideration for it. Weak/ cheap additions like Closet doors that easily fell of tracks; floor areas that creaked under the rugs; odd plumbing; and appliances that didn't works as they should (doorbell, ice-maker, bathroom vents, kitchen lights, etc.) It's understandable that many of these things would fail or break from normal wear and tear, but these things barely made it past the first couple of months. You will have problems with cable, internet, and cell service. Not sure if its a dead-cell location or what. The biggest con is management. There's a big difference between the leasing agent and the property manager, just remember that. Odd lease violation notices for situations that were ultimately not my fault or out of my control (A notice about having a cluttered apartment days after move in? A notice about a utility bill for move-in day that was already paid for?) Very lackluster responses from management for complaints. Such as, we can't do anything about noisy neighbors, just call the police. (Mgmt, themselves said that excessive noise was a lease violation). What felt like very unprofessional handling of situations like missing packages, solicitors, communication with renters about constructions, etc. With a very condescending attitude from the property manager. Lastly, this my personal experience and opinion. It seems, as long as you are a perfect model tenant, then perhaps your experience will go well. However that's not always the case, so I would suggest that its important to question a property's sense of empathy.

(Bobbi once met me at a fixer-upper on her way to a formal event, and she walked around in the woods in a dress and heels). She is very kind, sweet, but does not take any junk.

And, lastly, when she was unavailable, she hooked me up with a colleague, Kirk Wenner, who has been equally great.

I am currently finalizing the purchasing a home and have Bobbie Prescott as my realtor…read more I am incredibly impressed with her professionalism, accessibility, and commitment to pursuing my interests. As a first time home buyer, I am naïve, have a lack of knowledge, and am leery of the entire process. Added to that, I am only purchasing a modestly priced town house. Due to this, I take up more of her time than a seasoned home owner/buyer and she is will make less commission on than on her other clients. Regardless, she took the extra time to make sure I understood the contract and was comfortable with my selection, negotiated hard on my behalf (costing her commission), and was ready to encourage me to walk away when certain things started to fall apart. She made the entire process manageable, reduced the stress, and served as a much needed sounding board as I tried to figure out what I wanted. I cannot praise her services enough. I highly endorse Bobbi Prescott's services.

This is easily the worst, most apathetic property management company I have ever dealt with. They…read moredo not care about the safety of the people in its communities, nor for the cleanliness of its properties. If you need an example, just drive through The Commons of Avalon, in Frederick, MD to witness it first hand. They make promise after promise with regard to maintaining their properties with absolutely no follow-through. They charge an outlandish HOA fee providing the legal minimum in return, and will charge huge assessment fees whenever they need to collect more money--I can only assume--because they failed to manage their business expenses appropriately in the recent past. If you reading this review in consideration of living on one of their properties, be warned, you will NOT be happy.

Update after Johns lovely response:…read more Your invoice does not reflect the lies you just said in your response. I was charged: $119 for Sewer $139.16 for water $558 in "Miscellaneous" charges such as apparently mowing the grass lol. And $550 in carpet, not $800. Oh and also, I spoke with the apparent carpet guy, who does not own a business for carpet install. He does not recall installing carpet? He had no idea what I was even talking about and denied owning a company called "Julio Perez Carpet Sale"(that was the invoice you sent me) Also, your other invoices from your "Miscellaneous" charges that you had your "Contractor" perform(installing flooring and apparently unclogging drains) does not have an active license from the MHIC, I checked multiple Times and even searched him by name. Don't worry, I will be reporting him for you. The incident on 7/13 is not the incident about the air I am speaking of, but nice try. You failed to speak on the roach problem? Anything to add? What about that awesome cracked window? I will be by Friday morning to pick up my amended security deposit. Thank you :)

I'm an investor with just about 20 years of experience and about 2 million in commercial and…read moreresidential assets. I used Boomtown to manage 1 Townhouse to see if i'd give them any others. John is is a good salesman but that's the extent of the praise he'll get. The townhouse I had them manage was a new reno that by Johns own words, "reminds him of one of his own reno's". He even asked my advice on different contractors I use. During initial talks I was clear about what I was looking for in the rental agreement, the renters and the contract with him. I signed up for his "Premiere" price plan & requested renters with at least a 600 credit score, information about their current living conditions and agreed to a 1 yr contract (along with a few other requests). I signed the docusign contract he sent which was for 2 years (my mistake for not reading the contract more thoroughly). He told me we could get $1400-$1450 for rent, which he failed to do. I agreed to drop the price and ended up paying about 10.5% of the monthly rent + the first months rent (which is 2-3% higher than most PMs around Frederick) I waited approx. 2 months & questioned him about marketing then realized he wasn't marketing on MLS & only used free sites. I guess he doesn't want to split the commission or pay to list. In my opinion his choices cost me income. My realtor friends offered to list for free, he stated that he didn't want to & went to sell me on how things were picking up; I gave him 30 days. He just happened to find renters with a lower credit but were willing to pay a few months up front. He swore they were great; This should have been a red flag, but like I said, he's a good salesman. We cleaned the TH a few days before moved in (new carpets, washed and waxed floors, new granite, new paint etc). A few days later, he found some dirt in the corner of a drawer in a closet, some dust on a shower shelf, leftover trim pieces in the shed that I wanted to keep in case the renters damaged what was installed and some random small pieces of trash that probably came from the new neighbor moving in next door. Instead of telling me, he went ahead without approval and hired a cleaner for $200 -I had found on the invoice the following month. Had I been the PM, I'd probably have just grabbed a paper towel and handled it myself. I also found an additional charges for landscaping that wasn't done and had to be reimbursed. Over a month after move in a few other issues popped up: dryer not drying clothes from a short in machine, leaking brand new dishwasher, ants etc. John and I verbally discussed items such as these that the renters would be responsible for, all of which were supposed to be included in their contract but weren't. From that point forward I told them that any discussion between us had to be through email because I don't trust him at his word and his failures were costing me money. I want everything documented. He informed me that I wasn't allowed to work on the property and would only give access to his contractors - I found out later are actually just certified handymen who upcharge: Under $10 = $5 upcharge, $10-$100= $10 upcharge, $101-300 = $20, $301+ = $50 upcharge etc. & they don't supply receipts I received emails from 7 emails/people (Carrie, John, Annie, Katie, Julianne, Repairs and "donotreply"). I'd CC John on the reply. He asked me not to include him on future emails and to direct them to one of the women. The communication leading up to this was bad. The various women who responded to my emails were cordial but never informative unless I asked specific questions John completely failed to do the 3rd month inspection and I didn't get notification for the 6th mo. inspection on time. When questioned about it, they continued to try and call me rather than own up to their mistake and document it. Their excuse was that they canceled inspections and the need to hire someone to help out.They should have been upfront about it and not let me find out months later that they missed their contractually agreed upon deadlines. I told them I wanted out of the contract since they'd breached it. Instead of owning his mistake, John said he had to talk to their lawyer and said something along the lines of , why should he let me out of the 2 yr contract, and what would he get out of it. Again, this show the character of a man I don't want to do business with. More issues lead up to move out. He found no issues an withheld no money from the renters. He gave the renters approval to go in after their contract ended when I happened to be there. The siding had black stain from a smoldering bird nest in the vent, the TH had to be repainted, plugs were overloaded and had burn marks from being shorted out. They partially painted one wall to cover up the dirt with the wrong paint color, they took down a fan and replaced it with a light then put up a broken fan. Contact me to see the communication or move out pictures. Its it all saved.
