Gifford Management Group

We bought a home using them as a real estate agent. They kept showing us homes that they were also the listing agent on so they could earn double commission. We ended up finding the home ourselves online but kept working with them (showing that we were completely naïve first time buyers). They didn't negotiate price at all and then tried to covertly insert an cause into the contract requiring the buyer to pay them a 1% higher commission. What a scam!

If I could give zero stars, I truly would. This has been the worst experience . From the moment I first spoke to one of the property managers, Robin, she was quite rude from day one and most definitely treated me as if I was inferior and ignorant of laws which were regularly broken. I still can’t believe they treat their paying customers like trash…..
I would not recommend this company or their places to anyone. I stayed in 1023 W 38th and the entire building is infested with roaches, water bugs, and maybe even more. It’s so bad, I literally slept in fear and in my car . they called the

DO NOT USE AS YOUR PROPERTY MANAGER!!!
There are several experiences from my five years using Gifford Management to oversee my property management that I could give to explain why the service aspect of the business was essentially non existent. But the most honest thing I can do is express how over the years they claimed, and charged me for several things that I now know were not done or were 1/2 done to such poor standards that my tenants and my home's value suffered greatly.
The people in charge of managing my home or handling the maintenance changed regularly and often without notice. Each

I’m very pleased with Gifford management. I’ve read other reviews but had a very different experience. Robin was spectacular, she was very quick to respond to any of my questions or concerns. She was helpful & very nice. I had trouble getting into a place but she helped me out & the owner of the building worked with me. My AC went out & they looked at it the next day, ordered a new one & that following Monday (because they don’t work weekends) they came & installed it.
My apartment I moved into was decently clean (you should always clean it yourself before move in, people come to view the

THIS COMPANY IS A SCAM!
This a warning to those who are looking into renting a property with Gifford Management. In the beginning it was fine. They were professional. The apartment that I received was fine; however, the kitchen had objects left in the fridge, and the kitchen was dirty. When I received the apartment, the drip pans that were placed on the stove were dirty . On top of that I had roaches. The owner of the property came and fixed the roach problem. Which was not a problem for me. Also, I took it upon myself to clean the kitchen, and I should have never done it. The problem is when

It's funny that I was asked to give a good review of this company early in renting from them. I have to rescind my first review and inform anyone thinking of renting from this company to back out as fast as you can. If for any reason you miss a payment your access to the online pay service will be blocked. I tried several times explaining what happened with no sympathetic gesture of turning the service back on. Once you've made the mistake you have to drive your checks or cash to the office. Also, if you are late past the 5 days you will receive a summons for court. This company does not care for

One star can’t even do justice! They’re insufficient of professionalism, mannerism, and most importantly, common courtesy! It’s going on six days from which my refrigerator stopped working, and I’ve yet to get a reasonable update from them! When you call, they get really nasty with you.They lack basic customer service and communication skills! Also, when I moved in the apartment wasn’t even all the way clean! I had to go back and clean out things! If I would’ve known this, I would’ve never got a home with them as the management group. I wish I would’ve thoroughly read these reviews

I moved from another state and I looked at a townhouse Gifford had the carpet looked pretty rough but I was assured it had been professionally cleaned. I went ahead and took property because of just trying to hurry up and move into a place and shortly after I noticed when I vacuumed that a ton of carpet freshener was coming of the carpet. I sent the manger a message asking did they just poor freshener on the carpet and she said no that she had a receipt saying it was professionally cleaned. Well my children woke covered in flea bites and as I sat in the home fleas jumped out of the carpet in plain

My apartment manager is the pits. Leaky tub for months after reporting it. They apply your rent to fees and hit you with late charge. Take you to court because they know poor people can't afford to take off work to dispute their claims, so we end up paying more because we can't afford to go to court. Day after posting this,,, I get a call from owner, who was bothered by my review. He said that the owner is responsible for maintenance although you report issues to management company??? In all fairness I decided to change my rating to 3stars. Funny thing is... Owner of management company wasn't interested
