Goldmark Property Management

"Goldmark manages Alden Pines Apartments and in our opinion GOLMARK is a slumlord. The things we are complaining about are the same things present at move in. There's never been a sorry, never been even an acknowledgement of how serious these problems are. We have to contact to see about getting an attorney now to see what is needed to move forward that direction. There is serious damage to this apartment from foundation issues, there was a leak in both the kitchen and bathroom that showed mold and old damage at move in and continued to now we showing symptoms of mold toxicity exposure. They know this, we communicated several times with several people since signing our lease about it. They just refuse to really fix anything, they don't even bother to try to make things look presentable at all. I have not ever seen them vacuum or see the common hallway clean in four months and there are roaches. They are extremely comfortable being how they are and frankly thats scary. Not only are they violating law but they don't even feel the need to cover up that they are not which even the worse slumlords at least attempt to do so they don't get in trouble. Ive uploaded everything to a YouTube channel if anyone's curious.Search Alden Pines Apartments Fargo and it should come up. See for yourself. I will add this was not a bargain basement apartment, it was 100 more monthly than a green management apartment building of comparable size so this is just unbelievable really. They are aware now and have known for weeks that the mold is making us sick and I just hope it's reversable once we leave."

"By far the worst renting experience I’ve had in my short adult years. From horrible management, to poor maintenance, it would have been worth it for me to live at the homeless shelter instead. My front door was broken for 6 months, lock and everything. I payed 1400 for it to be fixed and they didn’t fix it until after I moved out. I had to baraccade my door if my boyfriend wasn’t home! Our garage was vandalised and we couldn’t get into it’s it took 2 months for them to fix it. Our vehicle was vandalised over and over, from a broken windshield to broken taillights. Management did not care whatsoever and refused to look at cameras to address the thousands of dollars of damages we had to pay out of pocket. Our neighbors all around the apartment building would constantly make noise and let their children under 4 run around unattended. My underwear was stolen multiple times in their public laundry rooms. The list goes on. A question for management is, would you let your family live like this? If not, I would make some changes before you run out of people to steal money from. I’m 20 years old, and this is not how I should have been welcomed as an adult into this world. If you want a safe place to live, look somewhere else."

"Hands down the worst company I've ever rented from. Incredibly unprofessional at every interaction. If you rent from them be sure to get a camera system because they absolutely will let themselves into your apartment whenever they want. The laundry room broke down the month we moved in, the lease is up and it is still broken down. They have "lost" our checks, just to charge us late fees, ask us to cancel the check then find the check and deposit it anyways and charge us again because a canceled check doesn't go through. They will do anything they can to add charges to your account and its despicable. Get a p.o. box because if something is left at your door it will not be there when you get home. And those are just a few of the issues we have had with this absolute trash company. The fact they are even allowed to operate is ridiculous."

"We live in Dakota Manor. Goldmark/Timberland manages our complex. It's a great location, close to everything. Comes with a free garage. Our unit is older but in good, upkept condition. The level of service from Goldmark is what really makes a difference to my family. The maintenance manager Chris is incredible. He is very quick to get to any issue we've had. The few small things that have come up were all promptly addressed. He really cares about us tenants living here and goes the extra mile every time. The manager of our complex too, Tori, is very friendly & professional to work with always. It's surprising to me for the reasonable rent we pay that we have this level of service & attention. Would highly recommend Dakota Manor, Goldmark, Chris & Tori."

"We LOVE living at West Lake! It's a bit older, which gives it a homey lived I feel. It's well maintained and the office staff are awesome, very friendly, and seem to care about their tenants! The maintenance staff are super easy to work with, very friendly, seem knowledgeable about their particular trade, and are quick with repairs. We truly love living here!! Only thing I would like to see: fix and update the gym. We would use it daily!!"
