Maxwell-Kates Reviews ( 168 )

  1. Terrible at building management! They don’t have all the processes and paperwork organized. When issues arise they are bullies – instead of a plan they will rudely snap back and say they are waiting for some random thing and call that the …

  2. Absolutely the worst organization you could ever hire to manage your building. They do not have the structure, framework, tools, experience or even professionalism to provide coop boards with the guidance to manage a building effectively! …

  3. If I could give one star I would. They never answer phone calls and all calls go straight to voicemail. How can a person get in touch with their property manager if they literally NEVER answer the phone? Unconscionable.

  4. I lived in a building run by this management which has been a truly mediocre experience, marred by non-responsiveness, defensiveness and needless bureaucracy.

  5. I am ashamed to admit I live in a building where the management company did not care about their employees who are essential workers and who should’ve been 1b In terms of getting the Covid Vaccine. Did they do anything to help them? No

  6. A complete joke of a “property management” company and a disgrace to property managers everywhere. Unresponsive, irresponsible and completely incapable of managing themselves, needless to say a building. It is impossible to trust them to do anything for the welfare of residents or anything at all for that matter.

  7. Hi Gabrielle Guarneri, thank you for all the assistances you have provided to me during the recent board application process! Your timely response and support have much appreciated!!

  8. Despicable company. Going on 2 months my apartment has not been habitable and a complete construction zone with my belongings all over the floor. Men coming into my apartment all day on any given day. An air conditioner turned off. They let …

  9. If I could give 0 stars I would. Horrible management company. STAY AWAY. As the other reviewer stated, they are slow, unhelpful and supply workers with questionable character. Our building has a particularly young managing agent from this …

  10. Terrible. Very poor service. No returned calls, unanswered emails. They will achieve nothing, at a snail’s pace, and leave you mismanaged and unsatisfied. Good luck finding a competent building manager/managing agent at this imposter agency …

  11. My Condo board transfer management business to them on July , 2020. Since that time , I have tried to contact 20 time to inquire about billing issue, but no one respond my call, I have sent e-mail to them. No one reply my email either. …

  12. I have been trying to get in touch with someone for the last two years and still have not heard from anyone from Maxwell & Kates . This is disturbing to me. I tried by calling the office . And the person I spoke to was so nasty and …

  13. Impossible people who don’t do their jobs. I can’t even get in touch with them. They don’t answer their phone or return calls. The managing agent of this building never shows up for more than a few hours if that. Yet he’s got an office …

  14. This management company bought my building half-way through my lease and it has been nothing but a disaster when trying to resolve any issue. I have now moved out, but my account is showing over $14,000 in charges, even though I paid my …

  15. Maxwell Kates sent an email at 3:30 on a Friday about a tenant in my apt complex testing positive for Covid. By time I saw the email at 5 their office was closed. Even the emergency line was a waste. They didn’t give the other tenants any …

  16. I have had nothing but good experiences whenever I have gone to the office or talked on the phone to any staff member (including the front desk) of Maxwell Kates Inc. I would like to mention especially Henry Ward and Micah Gardner, who …

  17. If i could give a zero star, I would. I have a condo unit managed by this company. They charge you all kinds of fees and most of fees are not reasonable. They never sent us any building or annual meeting notice. Only notice I got is HOA increase 10 days before it becomes effective. The worst management company I have dealt with !
