I used The Agency twice in December 2019 (as the buyer) and July 2020 (seller). I represented…read moremyself in the purchase as I am a licensed real estate broker in a foreclosure purchase of a very nice home. It was a complicated purchase so it took a while as foreclosures have no disclosures and it was a hillside property so there were numerous inspections involving engineers, consultants and more. As the buyer, you are pitted against the selling agent because you wanted to get the best deal. Well, Austin Brunkhorst from The Agency couldn't have been better to deal with. He was always professional during tense periods which including dealing with negotiations with the banks and inspectors. Alex Brunkhorst was also part of the my transaction in July 2020 and was amazing to work with. One transaction was 7 figures (more than double the other) and the other was 6 figures, and they treated both with equal care. So when I had to sell my house months later, even though I had originally considered other agencies, one that specialized in modern homes, I changed my mind and chose Austin because of his temperament and how he handled everything. His sister Alex Brunkhorst was also involved and she was amazing as well. He also referred the title company, and I was happy with them as well. I'm a broker, but I don't work in the market regularly. Our house that we were selling was not a regular house, but a house (tear down) with approved plans. The market was a pandemic market, which was unpredictable, and seemingly great for houses ready to go, and not so great for ours. Developers were hot to buy our house at a discount. An owner/user MIGHT want our house at the price we wanted, but there weren't a lot of people who wanted to take on a project. His team helped us figure out pricing, photography and more. We listed the house Monday night and had a full price cash offer Thursday. We had back up offers in case the first offer fell through. COVID delayed closing because the city was slow with the title report but it was still as smooth as it could be. I look at the low ratings for the Agency and want to say that the Agency is big. Obviously there are excellent, average and mediocre agents everywhere. I kept in touch with Austin after they sold me my house. You just have to find and pick the right agent for you. I have referred the Agency to two of my neighbors already.

Mike Bary was unable to sell our home…read more Mike Bary was unable to rent our home. Mike Bary needed to involve a third party, Figure8 (who was lovely and did a fantastic job securing tenants and managing the property), to finally secure tenants. Mike Bary included a clause in the lease agreement that he would be owed 4% of the sale price if the tenants purchased the property, which they eventually did. We foolishly signed this contract giving 4% of the value of our home to Mike Bary for simply making an introduction to tenant. Our real estate attorney noted that he had never seen such a large commission for simply making an introduction to a buyer in his many years of practicing. We would never work with Mike Bary or The Agency in a real estate transaction in the future.

For the majority of my time as a tenant, it went well. However, I ended up getting laid off and had to terminate my lease early, to move for a new job. We had a series of discussions based on unresolved issues related to outstanding repairs and lease terms. Natasha was unprofessional during this time, disrespectful and when she didn't get what she wanted at a given moment, resorted to personally insulting me. It seems Sundays are her free day, that's when you can expect to get nasty texts from her regarding issues that aren't currently in her favor. She doesn't seem to manage maintenance well, and besides keeping my security deposit without discussion, she persistently texted me for money weekly 2-3 months after my departure. What bothers me is I typically am a responsible tenant, not perfect by any means, even going above and beyond in areas: - Showing her property to prospective tenants - Meeting her in-person on a trip across the country to give her a duplicate key I made - Cleaning items I found dirty such as curtains and HVAC registers (when a mold problem arose for an end-of-life AC) - Small DIY tune-up such as door hinges .....and she was still incredibly disrespectful to me in moments when a situation wasn't in her favor. Steer clear.

I raised these concerns, but felt that these agents closed ranks rather than working in good faith to resolve the issue. In my opinion, this was not ethical representation.

This is my personal experience, and I'm sharing it so others can be informed.

The regional manager, Clinton Gibson, openly stated that long-term residents and people who have personal or family connections with management or on-site staff receive preferential treatment and are allowed to break building and city rules.

Problems are ignored, rules are not enforced equally, and tenants who speak up are pressured rather than supported. I would not recommend renting from this company.
