There is a really good chance that if you're reading this, it's too late. You're locked into a lease with Trademark Properties, and now you're dealing with who is arguably the worst, most unqualified, negative, passive aggressive, dismissive "Property Manager" in all of Baltimore, Sean T. Sigmon. You're at point where you've had the displeasure of putting up with his antics that you thought just couldn't get any worse, but they somehow do. You're looking for comfort knowing that you're not alone. Well let me tell you, you're not, and this opening paragraph reflects the feelings of not only myself, but of almost every tenet currently living at 1214 N. Eutaw Place, as we have all been in communication with one another regarding Sean, and the unanimous sentiment is that he is a horrible property manager... and that's not even meant to be disrespectful. It's just the fact of the matter.
Sean is not fit to be a property manager of any kind. He is inattentive, negative, passive aggressive and vindictive. He dropped the ball so many times with my office space it's not even funny. The day before I moved into my office, I got a chance to look at it, and it looked like an abandoned construction project. Nothing had been touched the 1.5 months between me signing the lease and me moving in. There was paint, sawdust and footprints all over the floor and inside of the cabinets. The fridge and dishwasher were nowhere to be found. The doors didn't even have locks on them. I had to hire a cleaning crew to come in and clean - even after the handyman cleaned - that's how dirty it was. It's only by chance that I asked to see the unit the day before move in. I can't imagine how frustrated I would have been if I'd moved in with the office in that condition.
Sean didn't order the fridge until the day I move in, so I had to wait 1-1.5 months for that to come. The dishwasher never came for the duration of my lease. The shelves were not built, there was no hot water for the first month. Overall that office should not have been rented out in that condition. Sean dropped the ball on getting anything done before I moved in which made my first 2 months there a nightmare.
There are so many more details to add, but I unfortunately reached my character limit on this review, and therefore have to omit a lot of the details. But I will tell you how my lease ended.
Predictably, I was not given my deposit back on time. It was 2.5 months late. When it did finally come, the check bounced. OF course. It came down to me getting my lawyer involved. I gave Sean a hard date in which the money needed to be in my hand by. I had to wait nearly another 2 weeks for another check to come, but of course, the check was now short $7. I think he did this on purpose, but that's just speculation based on his character up until this point. I did not cash the check, and told him that if he didn't send me the $7 by the date I had set forth, that I would proceed to sue.
I'm sure nothing I'm telling you here is new. You're probably fed up just as much as I was during my time there. The best advice I can give is to not expect much from Sean, and be ready to take Trademark Properties to court if need be. read more
