Julie has been wonderful from the start of our search for an apartment in Rhinebeck. She was able…read moreto find us the perfect place for our son while he attends school nearby and also for us to use on the weekends. She was professional, attentive, and knowledgeable. She showed us an apartment that was not even on the market yet- and its perfect- just like she said. She knows the area inside and out and we feel so comfortable that she lives nearby. We've been up a couple of times to measure and look at the place before we move in and she has met us without hesitation each time.

Julie from Mainly Rentals may not be your cushy cup of tea. She is hard core, authentic and real…read more She tells it like it is. Kind of refreshing. But at the end of the day this woman knows her stuff. There is no one like her in the Hudson Valley. She is beyond intelligent and beyond connected. At the age of 55, I decided to relocate from Long Island and pursue my Masters Degree. After dealing with numerous realtors and seeing a lot of less than par rental properties, Julie came through in an unbelievable way. She showed me the most beautiful home that was not even on the market yet because she is that connected. She walked me through my transition and I am so grateful. Today I live in one of THE most beautiful homes in Red Hook because of her. She told me from the beginning, do not worry, I got you. And she did. Thank you Julie for helping me live my dream. Skylar

The agent scoffed and said "it's an owner's market" and that any potential applicants don't have a choice and "have to do what they say," especially since the owner NICK has "many rental units" and "CAN KICK YOU TO THE CURB" if he doesn't like your application. Their disrespect and unwarranted nastiness is truly despicable. And this Nick owner sounds like a disgusting individual you would never want to do business with regardless of how attractive the offer. Stay away.

I posted another review about Josh's fantastic service for my boiler several months ago. When my…read moremini-splits stopped blowing cold air, I knew Josh would be the one to call. He fit me into his packed schedule (of course the units picked the first hot spell of the season to act up), diagnosed a refrigerant leak, and set about fixing it. If you're not familiar with mini-split systems, the difference between them and central air is that where central air cools air at the condenser unit then circulates it through your house, mini-splits circulate refrigerant, cooling the air at various "head units" throughout the house. The advantage is that mini-splits are easier and faster to retrofit into old buildings. The disadvantage is that there are many more places for a refrigerant leak to hide. Josh filled the system with UV dye and came back late in the evening to check for leaks. He found a couple of egregiously loose fittings---a sure sign of shoddy installation by the other company that had installed the system. At this point, he suspected there were probably loose fittings elsewhere. He's keenly aware of how expensive refrigerant is, and how bad it is for the environment when it leaks. With that in mind, along with the fact that the heat spell had broken, he suggested we hold off on refilling the system until he could come back and do a full system walkthrough. When he came back, he pressurized the system to its max with Nitrogen, so he could check for leaks without wasting refrigerant. It just so happened to be the hottest day of the year (so far), but that just made him more determined to get the system running for us. He worked thoroughly but quickly and got our system running better than I think it ever has. I'm profoundly grateful for his hard work and dedication. I cannot recommend him highly enough for any HVAC work you need done.

My husband and I were looking to rent an house/ apartment in New Paltz. We called up Stevens Realty…read moreand spoke with Bruce who seemed professional. I told him that our budget was $2k and that we needed something that was pet friendly, and he immediately said "I have the perfect property" and handed me off to a someone named Jason. We saw the property and were ready to move on it! I asked Jason if he thought we could finalize in the next week and he said "it shouldn't be a problem." For the next four weeks, it was a terrible experience. Day after day, week after week, it was a different story that was delaying finalizing the lease. He said that the owner was being "stubborn," the owner held out for a buyer who would pay more (even though he previously told me not to worry because they weren't showing it anyone else), the owner didn't want a dog on the property, the broker is too busy to send the lease and prioritized ppl who were buying.... he kept on telling me that I "had to be patient or would ruin the deal." All this while, Jason knew that our urgency was because I was five months pregnant and we were trying to secure something ASAP so that we could make plans with doctors/ hospitals nearby, not to mention we had a hard deadline on our move and I needed an address to send to our movers. After a couple of days short of a month, the lease finally came and the terms we agreed on weren't there. We responded the next day with our concerns. Jason said no worries and that we would get the new lease in two days. That came and went. I called Jason, he said to give it a few more days. It took another week to receive the revised lease and they demanded that we sign it within 24 hrs (this is after the broker Lindsay took one week to make a change that might have taken 2-3 minutes). Needless to say, we chose to work with another realty group. After I communicated our decision to the broker Lindsay, she apologized and said that this is not the way that they run their business. I appreciated it (that's the only reason we are giving two stars and not one) but it was too little, too late... The trust was already gone and the experience was terrible. There's more that I could say about what a waste of time and how frustrating this process has been, but I'll just end it with we chose to work with someone else. I understand that this is a business but the "wheeling and dealing" personality of this realty group really rubbed us the wrong way.
