I find it not at all amazing that Gittleman Management Corp has changed its name in a "national rebranding effort" to First Service Residential. And, this is the first time I have seen a reply to a review with a self-recommendation for itself. A snake in the grass, a chameleon. Did it soon get to difficult to hide behind the all so true reviews of not returning phone calls. Everything about the fines above are true. I would never recommend moving into a First Service Residential aka Gittleman property. Oh sure, name change w... read more

Gittlemans is slow to respond to it's association members and I have found them incompitent on several occasions. The most recent being; I paid for something on December 19, 2012, then on December 30, 2012 received a bill pre-dated for January 2, 2013. I found out today they haven't collected my check from the caretaker at the property....it's been almost two-months. HOW is that for service?

Don't use this company for anything. Heather and Lisa at Gittleman Management are notorious for not responding to emails or calls. I own and lease a unit in one of the buildings that they manage. I was given a $500+ fine for my tenant failing to move out properly, meaning they did not receive authorization from Gittleman prior to moving. According to my tenant, they tried to give ample notice, but Heather was never available via the phone. After I was given this fine, I tried to contact the management company and present bef... read more

The Best in Town – Having switched our condo association to Gittleman after 10 years with a rival management company, I speak from experience when endorsing the professionalism, quality and dedicdation with which Gittleman approaches property management. They are responsive to owner concerns, our need for repairs and upkeep, budgetary constraints,, and proactive when it comes to bringing issues and projects to the attention of the Board. Our assigned property manager is outstanding!

Minneapolis's Best Property Manager – Professional, prompt, efficient, detailed, courteous - all words that describe my property management team. Gittleman is what a dream team would be. You really feel you have a person in your court when they are there. I am on the board of directors of a property that Gittleman manages. Previous to Gittleman my experience was that you had to cater to the property manager. You owed them your business because you were a burden. Now under Gittleman and property manager Marion Slocum I know w... read more

Best property management ever – Gittleman management company is top notch. They took our association when we were basically in very poor financial shape, with poor manaegement and no plans for the future. From a place where monthly expenses were sometimes paid out of reserve funds, we now have a smoothly operating association with a fully funded reserve plan. Projects are properly bidded and completed under budget with oversight and professional results. The operatinf budget is under control. All systems report to the same m... read more

Bogus Reviews – It is interesting that the good reviews are all from board members or employees. The genuine reviews are from the "regular" homeowners. Money management is Gittleman's strong point, resident relations are not. Gittleman listens to those with the cash or on the Boards and has no regard to the effect those demands have on the rest of the association.

Hands Down the BEST management company – I didn't know how lacking my previous management company was until I contracted with Gittleman Management Company. Not only did they save my association 20% in service fees, they are also saving the association in every facet of our operating expenses. In addition to the expense savings, this management company is extremely in tune with the operational needs of the organization. They are proactive. They take ownership. They communicate with the board and follow up appropriately. My jo... read more
