This review is specific to Carol Di Mundo, our Broker/Agent with Hawkins-Poe Real Estate Services…read more  We just closed on the sale of our home in Gig Harbor, WA on 1/13/2017.  She gets a definite 5 star rating for reasons described below.     Let me start by saying I was the last one interested in selling this house.  It was a personal fulfillment of a life long dream.  We chose the land.  We had a house designed for the property.  I personally built the house... all 5750 sqft.  I ultimately agreed to the sale as a concession to or in deference to my spouse inasmuch as she had decided she wanted out of Gig Harbor. As you may have gathered, this was raw and it is definitely personal!  My point is I was kind of a hostile customer to start with.  Keep that in mind as you read about my remarks about Carol.  We were originally represented by Coldwell Banker Bain by an agent/Broker I had worked with for 20 years and multiple transactions.  Our relationship and business were completely taken for granted.  It was my impression that we received nothing in terms of support or effort to get our house sold by them other than a 45 minute lecture (before I terminated the relationship) as to why their lack of a strategy and effort was the right solution.  So we switched to Carol.    Carol was amazing in so many ways.  She never stopped pouring her heart and energy into getting the property sold... and it took a long time.  She tolerated me and brought me along every step of the way.  She was always positive.  She was always thorough in her research and documentation.  She was relentless in creating new strategies and approaches to getting the word out and traffic in to see our place.  She held open houses and other events on an ongoing basis weekend after weekend.  She did targeted mailings to non-mainstream groups to market a concept. She got our home featured several times in periodicals getting it great visibility.  In short, she did everything humanly possible to get the visibility of our home as high as possible.  She was always open to new ideas.  She was always timely and prepared and NEVER, EVER gave up.   We went from almost 6000 sqft down to about 1000 sqft of living space. From a 6 car garage equivalent to a zero car garage (no garage).   Needless to say there was lots of furniture, artwork, appliances, tools and "history" to get rid of.  She was even a willing and capable resource in that regard.  I am sure I will edit this down over time, but the most important thing I liked about Carol was her humanity and grace in a very difficult transaction.  A consummate professional on all levels. A beautiful human being. I don't know how you beat that combination. Thanks Carol!

Paige navigated the purchase of a house we found on the first day of our search. She was honest about her thoughts on purchase price and successful in negotiating on our behalf. Even more impressive was Paige's ability to get some of our asks taken care of before we moved in. We knew she would roll up her sleeves and make it all happen. And she did. We originally chose Paige as a realtor because she believes in and contributes to our community. We will continue to use Paige as a realtor because she is incredibly knowledgeable about the market, is trustworthy, and will go above and beyond for us. We look forward to working with Paige on the sale of our current home.

They marketed our Fox Island home beautifully, sold it quickly and kept everything non-complicated. We highly recommend Paige and her team!

The owner Jeff McNally is a great guy and the entire team I've had the pleasure to work with reflects that.

The maintenance crew is also fantastic. They've on top of everything, return calls and emails immediately and I've always felt I'm in great hands with them not only managing my house but getting great tenants that have taken good care of it while there. Every management company could take a page or two out of their play book and I highly recommend McNally for any property owner looking for management company that McNally geographically provides service for.

To make it perfectly clear, the ONLY flowers and plants I have complained about, are those in my front area. They moved me into rhis apartment back in December without clearing out all of the flower and plants the previous person put into the ground. I have been asking for months when they will be taking care of this, as it is becoming a jungle. I refuse to take care of it, as I am disabled, in a HUD property, where management couldn't care less about their residents. Thanks a lot management for trying to pin my neighbors against me, for a situation that should have been resolved BEFORE yall moved me in. Not to mention the mold and moisture in this apartment. It took them almost 5 months to figure out that the exhaust fan in my bathroom was NOT connected to a pipe in order for the moisture to escape the building. 4 months of 70% humidity in my home. Had to purchase a dehumidifier, as i am deathly allergic to mold. Did I mention there is a bullet hole in my living room window? Guardian should be investigated for fraud, fair housing violations, management fraternities with other residents, and that is a huge no no. Dariya and Maia need proper fair housing training, otherwise Guardian will be getting sued, not just by me, there's a few others here considering the same. When you see signs on people doors denying entry using RCW's, we know something is not right. Do better, and I dare you to try and eviction me for speaking out.
