Best Real Estate Developer Saint Louis Near Me

Samantha Isidro: M Jaffe company is excellent with communication. Colleen and Tena were very helpful with my move-in especially since my move was so last minute. They addressed and solved any problems I had within the first week. Even with my move-out process, Colleen and Tena have been more than accommodating and really made the process stress-free. They are always quick to respond (usually within 30 minutes or less) which always made me feel like I was taken care of. I have lived here for about a year and they have a great, efficient team. Any maintenance requests I put in were typically resolved that same day. The apartment itself is a perfect size for one person with in-unit laundry (which is difficult to find!) and gated parking. It is clean and the building is always quiet. Location is great as it is quick walk to Forest Park. They also recently added a grocery store across the street, which is a huge plus. I have truly enjoyed living here!

Dylan Roman: If there is no damage to the property, then there is no claim to a security deposit. We were there for three years and they never maintained the property, then tried to charge us from our rental deposit for regular wear and tear for the next tenant. I would suggest documenting everything if you rent from them.

Xuan Han: I consider this company the hidden gem of Debaliviere place. They are very professional and the prices for their rentals were great value compared to some of the luxury apartments nearby. I rented for a year from them and everything from repairs to upkeep was excellent. Office staff was highly responsive. If you are looking for a clean quiet place, with a professional company, but without the cost premium of luxury apartment companies, I'd definitely recommend these guys.

Michael Poremski: I have lived in one of the Jaffe buildings for several years. I can say, without hesitation, that they have been the best management groups of all the complexes I have lived in.The staff, from top to bottom, is outstanding! Calls get answered politely and can usually give a quick response. When they cannot, they give you a good idea of when to expect a response. The maintenance staff is just as good. They show up at the assigned time, do a quick analysis, and give you a good idea as to when the work, if any, will be finished. They are quick and very clean, always cleaning up after themselves.That is enough for now. I have nothing but applause for the staff and would hire them in a heartbeat! Great job, well done!

Candice Krenning: Critical:Professionalism,Value

Amy Cui: I had a unique experience in my year renting a property in the CWE. I rented during COVID and I had a good experience overall. However, Tena went waaay beyond expectations to help me this last summer, when I realized I forgot my bridesmaid's dress after driving 7 hours out of St. Louis...I called Tena in desperation and asked if she would help me get my dress somehow, and she was so eager to help me however she could, even though she had no obligations whatsoever to do so. She drove to my apartment and got my dress, took it to FedEx to try to ship it, answered a series of crazy phone calls and eventually drove 25 minutes away from my apartment to hand my dress to a wedding attendee. There is no way I could have done it without Tena and I'm forever grateful to her for saving my friend's wedding!!!

Precious “PreciousCello538” Cello: Critical:Professionalism,Quality,ValueDon't trust these 5 star reviews! You will live to regret it if you move here.

Dana Carroll: Critical:Professionalism,Quality,Value

Christina Kruger: I have had major problems with this company beginning 2.5 months after moving in at the start of August 2019. If you have seen a prior positive review from me of this company, it is because they required a positive review stating I was “content” and renewing for another year in order to renew mid-pandemic when I otherwise had nowhere else to go. Here’s a list of the issues I faced throughout my tenancy:Insufficient Heat - The radiators on the upper floors were not hot or even warm when temperatures outside were 40 degrees. My apartment was regularly below 60 degrees. After contacting the landlord about this, they told me I could leave if I didn’t like it.Lack of hot water/shower - The shower stopped working for 3 months. There was either a dribble from the shower or a trickle of only freezing cold water. I had to shower at my gym instead.Wasps - In both Spring of 2020 and 2021, I had at least 12 wasps come into my bedroom. They came in both during the day and a few at night, and again the landlord told me I could deal with it myself or leave (March 2020). A pest control company was allowed only after I offered to get quotes and schedule it myself. This year, 2021, I asked the landlord to spray again for wasps and he cancelled the appointment after agreeing to let them spray.Lack of building security - The entrances to the building are not consistently locking and secure. People have tried breaking through indoor locks with screwdrivers and have also stolen packages.Tenant falling from balcony - My neighbor fell through the railing of an unsecured 6th floor balcony accessible to all in the building in May 2021.The unit is pretty, and the area is too. But I would never have signed a lease with this company if I had known the issues and stress I’d face here. I can’t wait to leave.

Omar Alomar: Positive:ValueFor sure, I would recommend it for anyone to rent with MJaffe property!They are professional and very responsive . I just moved in to one of their apartments in Central West End and it just amazing how they made it super easy for me. Diffidently recommended and I'll stay here as long as don't have to leave St. Louis.

Zach Foppe: I lived in a MJaffe property for 4 years—it was my first place on my own and I couldn’t have been more happy with the price and location. The unit I stayed in was a studio in the Central West End, great walkable neighborhood. It’s an old 1920’s building but it’s well kept and updated with modern paint colors before I moved in. Maintenance was always on top of any request I had. I would definitely did not want to leave but got my own house.

Elise Harvey: Lived at the Brandon (M. Jaffe Property) for four years and loved my experience there. The apartment was charming, pet friendly, fully fenced yard, and in a great location in the Central West End. Great price for the location too!Can’t say enough good things about Colleen and Tena in the main office, always so helpful and quick to respond. The owner Mark is easy to get in touch with, and every maintenance worker has been quick to assist and extremely kind.My building was definitely old, but it had a lot of charm. My unit wasn’t updated but it has all of the older fixtures that probably went back to the 50s. Super cute studio, only moved because it was personally a little too small for two people and our goldendoodle. I would recommend this management company to anyone!

Kelsie Pixler: Absolutely do not rent from this company. By far and away the worst move-out experience I have had. They told us 24 hours before move-out that they would charge 5$ per nail hole and hold us responsible for the nail holes present at move in (59 holes to be exact). Also, they willingly broke lease terms and did not initially respond when we asked to be present at our final inspection. They completed the inspection, and then we had to tell them that we had already requested to be present.If you all are thinking about renting here, please contact me, and I will gladly send you copies of the email exchanges that we have had with this company.

Eleanor Fogarty: Positive:Professionalism,Responsiveness,ValueI have had a great experience renting with the Jaffe M Development team over the past 2 years. When COVID-19 hit, Tena and Colleen worked with me on alternatives to a traditional in-unit showing. Additionally, they were able to rent the place early and save me a month’s rent! Thanks!

Audrie Howard: I lived 5 years in one of M. Jaffe's apartments and had a very positive experience (otherwise I wouldn't have stayed so long!!) - the team was very responsive to maintenance issues throughout my 5 years, and all staff members have been considerate and kind in our interactions. My apartment itself is nicely updated and fairly priced for the neighborhood (Waterman, a very desirable street in DeBaliviere Place). If you are looking for an apartment in St. Louis, particularly in the DeBaliviere Place neighborhood, I would highly recommend looking at this company's listings!

Mike Walker: We have lived in one of the Jaffe Groups units for the past 2 years. Throughout the term of our lease the group has been very responsive to needs as they arise. Issues were addressed quickly and repairs made promptly. All communicate with all staff especially Colleen were professional and very help. If you looking for a great property management company you won't go wrong with the Jaffe Group.

Arman Odabas: I have renewed my lease with Jaffe and Co twice now and have had a very positive experience living in a Jaffe property. The building is safe and in a good neighborhood, and is kept clean with all utilities in good working order. The apartment has a charming character with many of the original fittings. The appliances were all in good working order when I moved in and maintenance requests were all taken care of promptly. Colleen and Tena have always been responsive to my emails and once when I had to call after hours Mark picked up the phone himself to help me out. I would recommend Jaffe properties to any friends, especially students who want to live in the Central West End, as the rent is unbeatable for the neighborhood.

Samantha Lurie: I lived on Waterman for 2 years and my apartment was amazing! Colleen was always responsive when I reached out to her. Jaffe management is great!

Mary Mantei: From the very beginning of my time renting with M Jaffe, Colleen, Tena, and Mark have been so reasonable in interactions and situations we have come across. They are organized and practical. I will definitely rent with them again when I am back in the area.

George Hash: Never had any issues with management. Always responded to maintenance issues in a timely fashion and completed repairs the first time.

laurie smith: Green Street Real Estate Ventures.....No matter which version of their name you read about, they offer a company motto of " they don't build buildings they build businesses " What they don't say is that they step on and crush small businesses so they have to close their doors which leaves other businesses hanging. Not knowing where they can get the product and services they need with the excellent quality and dedication that St.louis Woodworks has provided for over 30 years could really put other businesses in a pinch too! Not to mention the employees who maybe out of work.They use their money and clout to push the little people out of the way, paying off or contributing to the decision makers so things go their way. They do anything to further their goals even putting the employees at St.louis Woodworks in danger by starting demolition on a section of the building next to where St.louis Woodworks employees work, with no concern for their safety and well being. Green Street Real Estate Ventures is a prime example of what we don't need.

John Ghirardi: Green Street does not care about small owned businesses. They shut them down. All they care about is themselves. Thanks Green Street for calling us squatters. When we had a contract for 5 more years, and the Judge who helped them shut us down. St. Louis Woodworks provided for St. Louis for over 30 years.

Olivia D: Very responsive and attentive to tenants needs. I’d recommend elevate to anyone!

Elizabeth Blalock: I have lived in an Elevate apartment for 4 years now and really can't recommend them enough! Rocco and his associates are super quick to respond to all requests and have always kept us informed of any repairs or maintenance needed and when they are scheduled. They are fast and efficient with any paperwork, all of which can be done online. All-around the best rental company/landlord I've ever had!

Cody Crofts: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness,ValueRocco is a great landlord that helped us anytime we had issues with our unit and always made it a top priority. The building was maintained regularly and it was great living in an Elevate property!

samuel schmitt: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness,ValueLived in one of the properties on Ann Avenue for 2 years and had a great experience. Our landlord, Rocco, was very attentive and responsive to any issues that came up - which were very few. Everyone from management to neighbors were great!

Will Fleisher: I lived in an Elevate property on Pershing ave in University City. I can honestly say they were the best landlords I have had. The apartment is very well-maintained, and they took care of all maintenance issues very quickly. Rocco, in particular, has been extremely helpful, friendly, and professional. He was very helpful when my catsitter was locked out, and when I spent some time in the hospital. I can highly recommend Elevate.

Elena Berkery: Excellent landlord!

Victoria Sobeck: Had the pleasure of renting a very spacious apartment on Ann Ave. thru Elevate. Gorgeous dark wood interior, 3 fireplaces, and all new appliances (washer, dryer, refrigerator, oven, and dishwasher). Property managers and staff were incredibly attentive over the years, whether it be routine maintenance or simple inquiries. My neighbors have all been warm and welcoming people, so it has felt very much like a suburban neighborhood, with all the benefits of having Soulard just a short walk away and highways warranting a short commute. I feel very fortunate to have called this place “home” the past 3 years and will truly miss my experience here.

Hailey Boyer: Great place to live and perfect location. Management team is easy to work with and attentive to their lessors.

Tessa McMullen: We had the pleasure of living in a property on Ann Ave., which was beautifully restored and energy-efficient. Rocco and his team were very attentive and communicated well with us about the unit and were easy to get ahold of when needed.

Qi Mi: We have lived here for about half year, and this is a great company provide us with wonderful home and help. Rocco has helped a lot with everything and he takes care of us with great patience! Also, this neighborhood is very safe and friendly. we really enjoy staying here.

赵沁微: Very great company provide a high quality work! Rocco is best, he is extremely responsible and willing to help. I highly recommand Elevate.

Rick Dunne: Great Company to work with! Very conscientious about quality and energy efficiency.

Alexei Bieber: Absolutely disgusting and immoral company. I would never do business with this company and would not recommend anyone else. In the world we live in today, they believe it’s okay to buy/take over an apartment complex and tell residents that when their leases end that they can only renew if they move into one of the newly renovated units that are $500-700 MORE than they pay already. This is displacing so many individuals and families. It’s disgusting how businesses like this are able to operate. No morals.

Bobby Mills: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness,ValueHands down one of the best property management companies in the business. The employees take pride in their work and truly care about their tenants. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality living and professionalism.

Laura Bruyere: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness,ValueExceptional property management business; family owned and operated. Great staff that cares!

brian hawkins: Positive:ProfessionalismVery nice place to live they were very cooperative

Jose Navarro: I'm currently In the market for a new apartment and recently stumbled across Crystal Towers. I was marveled with the many amenities offered and the paramount renovation these apartments received about a year ago. A complete facelift. The property management is very friendly and attentive. If you're in the market for a crisp, renovated, and tech filled apartment PLEASE contact the Broadmoor group you won't regret it.

Chikeda Arrington: I live in Dutchtown and rent through SLRES it's been such an awesome experience that I've decided to lease another year.

Amanda Castillo: Always amazing service! Thank you Kara for getting my a/c fixed within24 hours and coming by after hours to fix the leak under my sink! So professional and quick! Excellent customer service!

Kay Saav: Worst experience ever if you have dogs don’t even try to rent with them although im not sure if that was even the “problem” here. Since we did everything they asked and somehow we still didn’t get approved due to a pet screening that was never even mentioned on top of the fact that they decided to just allow other people to apply and even got accepted over us because of a process we had no control over even though we have been waiting for properties for 2 months to “open up”.we call them everyday to check on the status of our apps and to show we are very well interested in renting one of their properties. We been trying to rent with this company for over 2 months and they keep moving our application giving seniority to others due to different excuses they keep putting up. Our dogs are emotional support which can’t be rejected and i’m not sure if they just been putting up excuses but me and my boyfriend make more than enough never had problems with an apartment complex and always paid bills on time. They just keep using this pet screening thing to accept other applicants. Which in 2 months we where never fully aware of it and per our emotional support doctor a pet screening isn’t usually needed for our dogs. We need to move may 14th and currently we are on april 25th we have a child and one on the way and can’t find a place to stay so soon due to us being all wrapped up with this company. Never again. Ofc they accepted again a new applicant over us for the 3rd time and claim if anything opens up they will let us know.then he so happened to text us saying he forgot to mention the pet screening process even though we have been in contaxt for a long time and knew since day 1 we had pets

Tic Tac: (100% REAL REVIEW) I am GRATEFUL for the love they instill in their properties, residents and community. Saint Louis Real Estate Society is a true STL gem. I hope they never lose their powerful foundations and glimmer. I have found that they radiate a welcoming, comfortable, safe and secure home for you or your family!

nicole whitfield: This company is very disgusting and disrespectful to paying tenants. Especially Melissa and Kara Cummins. I absolutely despise doing any type of business with this company and would advise that others avoid them at all cost. There has been a maintenance issue every month since I signed my lease in August. There is a disgusting smelly leak in the bathroom that has went unattended for months. Fast forward to last week, Jay (who has always been professional and nice) came to do a walk through due to harassment and false accusations made by my neighbor. He noticed the ceiling and couldn’t believe it has been like that, even asked if I put in a maintenance request to have it fixed. I did and Kara responded very dismissively with no definitive answer, as it’s obvious she’s uncouth and doesn’t have an ounce of professionalism. Now that Jay has seen the extensive damage, it’s all of a sudden being attended to. The apartment has so many cracks and painted over leaks. Pics are attached below.

Carole Wagner: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness,ValueCould not be happier with the experience I had working with St. Louis Real Estate Society. Riahna, Andrew, and Maria are an excellent team. Their expertise is greatly appreciated and made selling the flat much easier than I anticipated. I highly recommend St. Louis Real Estate Society.

Deirdre Browne: I can't recommend the staff at St. Louis Real Estate Society enough! I was referred to them for the sale of my condo in Soulard with the added layer of being an out-of-town owner. Andrew Meirink, my agent was the greatest. Held my hand, made solid suggestions and referrals when I needed them, showed up for me when inspections happened and always kept me in the loop. He and owner, Riahna negotiated a solid price with fair commission and absolutely had my back the whole time. Maria kept me up to date on Title company issues and I always felt safe and well-informed. Even when some wrinkles happened along the way, Andrew listened and supported me. I would use them again in a heartbeat and recommend to family and friends. All of that and I received a beautiful floral arrangement after closing... what a lovely gesture and speaks volumes on their attention to detail and customer care. Definitely reach out to them today today if you are selling or purchasing a home!Deirdre Browne

CLee West: It's not an unfair review when you treat tenant's poorly and respond negatively to reviews. Having your employees leave reviews is a huge misleading representation. I have seen the mold and mildew inside my sister's unit and inside this building. Perhaps be more respectful to your tenants and they wouldn't call you out.

BOBBY_ VLOGS: Critical:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness,Value

Ty Edwards: Critical:Professionalism,ValueLeaving bad history for the next Landlord with no outcome of late payments or none payments everything was paid off even took a big chunk of my deposit of 1600 nothing was wrong with the property at all I’m a very cleanly person only left me with $86 or maybe less

Douglas Moore: I used Stl RES for 5 years. They managed the purchase, property management, and sale of two properties. They were exceptional with renter screening and renter support, which, as an out-of-town owner, had more importance than any other factor.

Flora “Flo” Johnson: I'm kind of hurt to see so many bad reviews. They have been great to me. Understanding, clear communication, and they try their hardest to resolve any issues you may have. I do understand everyone has their own experiences and I will honor that. However, please try them out for yourself. Sure, sometimes things happen but I assure you that the good truly out weights the bad. In my opinion and from my experience they will do their best to accommodate and get you process into your new home as best as they can.Sincerely,A present tenet.

K Barton: Critical:ProfessionalismI had a verbal agreement and application submitted. Later received notice that "there was nothing they could do", as the office "accidentally" accepted another offer. I received this initial notice via text. Incredibly unprofessional and no attempt at correction was made.

norney borges: Ótimo

Sam Richards: My wife and I worked with STL Real Estate Society for our first home purchase and were very happy with their services. Our realtor Riley was extremely knowledgeable, answered all of our questions morning or evening, and was there every step of the way. We could not have asked for a better experience and highly recommend it to anyone looking to purchase a home in the STL area!

Megan Schaff: We’ve rented with St. Louis Real Estate Society for almost three years, and they are the by far the most professional landlord/management company we’ve ever dealt with. They are responsive, organized, fair, and have always treated us with the upmost respect, going above and beyond to make sure we are taken care of and our condo is perfect.The front office team is absolutely wonderful, and the maintenance team is also timely and effective. We would highly recommend to anyone looking to rent or utilize a management company in St. Louis.

Djuan Wiley: Don’t use this company. Unprofessional...I applied for a apartment with them and payed my application fee. The apartment is on Keokuk which is a very ran down area. I told them I was willing to pay up to 6 months in advance. But by me being young black male with dreads I make over 38,000$ a year and the apartment is only 565$ a month I could definitely afford it, but I was denied and then never got a email or denial letter. I felt like they just took my application money know they would except me... Andrew didn’t even want to see my paycheck stubs.. He definitely might be racist...

Tom Evans: Riahna and her team are responsive, knowledgeable, and truly think about the needs of the customer.Other real estate agents in St. Louis are impressed by the work that Riahna and Matt are accomplishing. I trust their recommendations.

Bret De Rousse: Critical:Professionalismcan't discuss their quality but they're sure rude to neighbors.

Matt Higdon: Positive:Quality

Sr. Assumpta Catalucci: Very reliable, good work.

Georgia Hooks: Very quick response back to my message of concerns.

Rachel Roman: Highly professional management company with top notch service from lease signing to handling maintenance. Genuinely invested in tenant satisfaction and creating a great neighborhood environment.

Joel Rutherford: Local, on-site management team that responds quickly to maintenance requests. I lived in their building downtown and it was very secure, with onsite amenities that are well maintained. Highly recommend.

Mark Joe: I live in their Peper Lofts building and, not only is the building amazing, the management and even ownership are all super present and friendly. We have 2 dogs and the building is very accommodating with a doggy pad in the roof. Love it

Kristen B: I’ve lived here for a year now and have been really happy! I appreciate the design choices they’ve made and attention to detail when it comes to things like soft close cabinets. The gym and location is great too.

Bethany DeMaggio: So accomodating from showing us available options and working with our moving timeline. The lofts are gorgeous, spacious and super walkable. They have been quick to respond to any maintenance requests. I would recommend the Advantes properties to my friends or colleagues looking to rent in the city!

Bdoll: Horrible place do not rent!!! If you want to hear your neighbors all day and night ( I mean everything) move here. Rude management; And too much money a month for bugs !!

Imani Ivory: DO NOT RENT with them. the walls are very thin. Rude and so careless to their tenets. It’s ridiculous!! Save your money and go somewhere else.

Tammy Jay: DO NOT RENT WITH THEM! They are unprofessional! Would give 0 stars if I could!

Cynthia Goenen: Advantes Group is working hard to transform Lacledes Landing and it is really starting to show!

Lindsey Chaney: Critical:Professionalism,ResponsivenessIs this even a real company? I have tried to inquire about their loft apartments for weeks and no one has ever answered the phone and I have left several voicemails and didn’t receive as much as even a phone call back.

Jane D.: Critical:Professionalism,Responsiveness,ValueI’ve been calling for weeks now. And no response . Starting to wonder if this place is legit ?

Art Vandal_A: Seems they really dont want people renting their properties. Called and left a message after sitting on hold for 5 minutes, never got a call back. Sent an email inquiry got one response after a few days, that I responded to immediately. Have now not heard back for over 10 days. Terrible, but good to know Im dodging a bullet. Can only imagine how terrible this would be if I were currently renting, and had an issue.
