I have lived for over 20 years at 1929 Ford Pkwy, an apartment building now managed by Arcadia…read moreManagement. Although I obviously like my apartment, I have had a very negative experience with Arcadia Management. For over a week, I have left phone messages for Arcadia Management regarding a new entrance system they installed and for getting documentation I need to renew my lease. There has been no response from Arcadia Management to the numerous messages I have left. What good is a management company that you can't reach? Earlier this year, there was a leak from the apartment above mine that caused part of my living room ceiling to fall down. It took well over a month to finally get the ceiling repaired, and the repair is very visible. Years ago, before the building was managed by Arcadia Management, part of my bathroom ceiling fell in. When the repair to the ceiling was made it was so well done that I couldn't see where the ceiling fell in. I expected the same quality of repair to be done to my living room ceiling. Every winter since Arcadia Management took over I have had to call and request that they do a proper job of clearing off the steps and sidewalk. This year after the plows went through there was a pile of snow over knee high on the end of the sidewalk. I have Multiple Sclerosis and can't climb over a pile of snow that high. I had to call Arcadia and request that they shovel the end of the sidewalk in order for me to be able to reach the street to get on a Metro Mobility van that was coming to take me to an appointment. I could go on, but I think you get the idea. As I said in the beginning, I like my apartment, my neighbors, and my building, but I have a very negative opinion of Arcadia Management.

I was originally going to move in to one of their other properties, but I wouldn't have been able to move in until after my previous lease was already over. They offered this property so I could move in right away without needing to figure out where to keep all my stuff in between apartments. The community manager, Alicia Thomas, even went to the property to get me a video tour since I didn't have the time to come see it in person. Alicia and Nicole were super helpful with all of my questions and move-in! I would definitely recommend leasing with them!

Searching for a home as a family of five at the end of the recession has been a long odyssey, but…read more(thanks largely to the tireless efforts of Ron) last month we finally bought our dream home. I can't overstate how lucky we were to have Ron's expertise guiding us through this process. He was flexible to our needs, very accessible and always went the extra mile to help us understand both the market and the nuances of each home (as well as the details of new-to-us experiences like home inspection, short sales, foreclosures, and surprise plumbing issues). Not to mention his consistent kindness and patience throughout the whole process. Ron really knows his stuff--if we ever choose to sell this house down the road, we will DEFINITELY choose Ron again!

This is a review of our real estate agent Mark S. Johnson who has been very helpful and…read moreunderstanding throughout our first-time home buying process. He is one of the hardest working people I know. He was available on email, phone and in person almost all the time. He is very knowledgeable about the real estate market and prompt with answers to most real estate related questions. His friendly nature and humor definitely make the whole experience of buying a property stress-free and memorable. I would highly recommend Mark for your next home purchase. We also used Edina Title Services for Closing and the Closing agent Brenda White was very well prepared with all the required documentation on the day of Closing. It took us less than an hour to sign all the documents and get the keys to our dream house. We are extremely happy and satisfied with Edina Realty and the phenomenal customer service they provide.

When we met Randy for coffee to discuss what we were looking for, our personalities clicked and we could tell he was an honest and genuine person who would work hard to find us what we wanted. He also took the time to really explain everything to us, which was super helpful because we had zero experience with the home-buying process. We decided to not bother meeting with the other two realtors, he was our guy! Randy was always willing to go out and look at houses with us, even if it was a last minute decision on our part, because the house was just listed and we wanted to be the first to see it and make an offer. He responded quickly to phone calls and emails and although our budget was small, we always felt like we were his only clients. He also had snacks, water, and pop to keep our energy up when we looked at houses. The little extras like that made working with him extra fun. But most importantly, he was knowledgable in the market and made sure we were looking at the right houses and writing competitive offers. We ended up with a perfect starter home with almost an acre lot! We are thrilled and will definitely be recommending him to everyone we know.

Before I get into it, though, I would like to summarize (for those in a hurry / TL;DR) that I am extremely pleased with the experience. Joe keeps his units more than reasonably priced - they are ultra-competitive with the industry standard. Once leased up, Joe and Jackie (his Assistant) have been highly responsive with any maintenance requests. They have had their maintenance team out to look at/repair things within one business day on every single occasion over 7 years. Further, they have replaced appliances as needed, and have no problem having a crew that will honestly appraise whatever situation I am dealing with - they do not eschew sound judgment in favor of penny-pinching. Joe himself, as has been pointed out by others, is not the most jovial of fellows. But what Joe is, and what he does, is better. Joe is a conscientious business owner who operates with complete integrity. He looks you in the eye, only says what he means, and means every word he says. One of life's lessons is that you cannot afford to partner with anyone who fails to operate in that way - particularly when it comes to where you decide to call 'home'. And once you are in, Joe will take care of you. Problem neighbor? They will deal with it. Security concern? They're on it. You get the picture. If my review makes it sound as though there are non-stop 'issues' in my building, that is not at all the case. Phone calls to the office are very rare - the building is quiet, secure, and clean. I am comfortable having my family here, which I would never compromise. If you need anything, you will not lack for help in having your issue remedied. Joe and Jackie run a fair and transparent business, which may be a bit of a dying art in today's age.
