Our back door would not latch correctly and we had asked since 2019 to have it replaced and George refused. It was a literal safety hazard since the door would not close. The roof is leaking at the property and instead of fixing it he would just have dumb and dumber(his "contractors" who were clearly always coked out) come and clean up the water. The place is FULL of black mold.... And when I say full, I mean it was growing down the walls, out of sockets, it was awful. They just paint over it with "mold resistant" paint in each apartment and call that ok. George is a bully who will hold leases over your head unless you pay ridiculous and made up fees. Our apartment building caught on fire from not having proper wiring and when George finally decided to show up he was pissed off that someone called the fire department because now he was being held responsible to fix it by the town. Code enforcement came and shut our building down for an entire week. Our refrigerator broke and he promised us a new one and even told us he ordered it but then dodged us anytime we asked about the status on it. He does not have proper smoke detectors. His guys will not come and plow the parking lot even though it's in the lease. The people he does hire are incredibly sketchy and he does not give proper notice so you could be home alone with your kids in the shower and these people are just entering your place with no warning. He raises the rent each year and charges ridiculous amounts for these places that are cesspools. He allows someone to live in the building who is mentally unstable with a bunch of guns who has threatened multiple tenants in the building but he didn't care because that apartment paid the most in rent. The hot water only would work from time to time so we would have to go shower and bathe our children at family's house. George is also incredibly sexist. He often acts like he just cannot discuss things with the women in the building. We constantly had to run electric heaters because none of the baseboards worked so we would freeze in the winter if we relied on his "free heat." I could go on and on and on. Long story short, while the price may be comparable in today's economy, I promise you, it is not worth it. Getting out of there was the best thing we have ever done.

And without a doubt, they were the right realtors for us. More than anything, we needed someone to hold our hands through the process of selling our first house. I think it was Julie who said the experience was more like a marathon than a sprint. One of the things that we found the most appealing were the duo's stats. The ratio of sales price to asking price, and the average time of their listings on market, were fantastic. But what is it they always say? Past results aren't a guarantee of future success? It took a little bit longer, and we didn't quite get as much for the house as we had hoped. But there were a lot of unexpected bumps along the road. Like a tree falling onto the house, and puncturing a hole in the roof, while it was on the market. But Patrick and Julie were always a reassuring voice of calm. Plus, they were able to connect us with people who could help shore up the house to get it ready for going on the market, even when our long time handyman wasn't able to get us onto his schedule. While part of me wishes the couple might have been more aggressive at marketing the property, I don't regret the decision to pass on the more aggressive agent we considered for the listing. With an impending move on the horizon, and the inherently stressful proposition of selling one's most valuable asset, the calm and peaceful disposition of McSharry and Associates was just what we needed. Thanks again to Julie and Patrick for working with us, and even answering our questions after the sale was complete. They never doubted that it would turn out okay in the end. And indeed, it did. Plus, they donate a portion of their commission to a local charity of the seller's choice, which is just the icing on top of the cake. So not only did we sell our house, but hopefully we did a little something to help combat food insecurity within the Capital District.
