Maxim 4000, LLC 120 Park Drive, Grand Junction, CO 81505

"Property management companies get a bad rap, and some for good reason, but I’ve had good experiences with this one and I don’t think it’s all luck. This is the 8th prop management company I’ve rented from and oh, the book I could write. I was approved for an apt over the summer but was waiting on the final paperwork from a job before I signed a lease (moving from another state). Dax was patient and waited two weeks before I just pulled the plug. He was willing to wait longer to hold the apt but I switched gears and he had my deposit returned via check within one week. A lot of places here require you to sign the lease within 24hrs of approval so this was all generous. I then got to GJ to a horrible housing situation and moved two weeks later to a Maxim4000 property. Zoe was helpful in getting everything squared away with the showing and application. Dax was again helpful with getting the cleanings and apt ready for a super quick move-in, just two days after lease signing. Dax has good communication about community happenings and tonight I had a concern I called with just expecting to leave a voicemail but he answered his phone at 7pm. He was able to discuss things with me which helped me feel better. Most prop management companies take two days to respond, if they ever respond at all. I am less interested in super friendly people who don’t get things done and would rather have folks that get things done but aren’t going to shoot confetti every time they see you. Thank you everyone for being helpful!"

"This realtor is the one that I rent from. The staff and manager are polite and friendly. They are very helpful about getting you an apartment that is available to rent. They are a very good landlord, always being respectful of your privacy as well as taking care of maintenance requests immediately. My maintenance requests are usually addressed within minutes."

"STAY AWAY !!!! My family and I were looking to move to Grand Junction as our youngest daughter will be starting at CMU in the fall this year 2023. Went and checked out a property and the young lady we met with was nice and friendly. We went through the application process and a few days later a gentleman called my wife and stated we were turned down for too low of a credit score. Ok, not a problem as we knew we didn't have the best credit score. He then told her, very rudely, he would send out a check the next day for the security deposit and other fee we had given. Tried to call many times with only 1 return phone call. I was finally told the check was issued on the March 9th. Today is March 17 and still no check. Called, left messages, sent emails, and still no reply. It seems we are being given the run around and avoided. as I said at the beginning STAY AWAY."

"I was told by email to call and schedule a showing before i could apply. Three days of calls and messages later I finally got a person on the phone. They told me, with WAY too much attitude, that they were no longer showing the place and were reviewing applications already. I asked why no one had called me back earlier and she said "well you know how the housing market is". The housing market is not an excuse to treat people like trash. She told me to call back next week to see if it is still available. Why would I ever do that? One star because I couldn't give zero."

"*May 23 Edit* Property management reached out and said it was their mistake applying an additional rent increase. Note that this was brought up when discussing the new lease over a month ago. I started renting here (Rya suites) end of 2018. When I started renting my rate was $1075 / month with utilities included. Since the property was bought by a new investment company, my rent has gone up 50%. I'm now expected to pay around $1500 / month on top of utilities (ranges around $100-$200 depending on the month.) In addition to raising the rates, the value of renting a property is going down. The property management staff appears to have been gutted (average response time has gone from 24hrs to 1 week+) so good luck getting timely service if something is wrong. As previously mentioned, you have to pay all your utilities. Units used to be supplied complimentary internet but that has been removed as of May 2022. Despite taking so much away, the owners are convinced that "the market value" of these units deserves a 50% increase in rent. During the height of the Pandemic there was no rent moratorium or reduction. Turn-over in my building is pretty high. People seem to stay for about 1 year at most and then leave. This may be due to common noise issues (it's apartments, what did you expect?) As a brief aside, the units themselves are ok quality. However the kitchen is directly next to the smoke detector and there is no ventilation to speak of. If you like searing/grilling food, you will have a smoky apartments for quite some time. I live in one of the 1 bedroom units and I have a single window that I can open. It takes a very long time to ventilate. The only reason that I am not giving a 1 star review is the fact that they do allow pets in the apartments. This is a rarity in the area. However it's not worth paying 50% more rent as a long time renter. I will be looking for other places to rent and I would suggest that you do as well."
