Report
I lived at a Carroll Gardens property for 24 years that was taken over by Brownstone Property Group about 5 years ago. As with any management company we had our ups and downs but overall they were very professional, responsive and easy to reach. If there was a problem they came back with a quick solution. Martha Teagle was our go to person She went above and beyond for us on more than a few occasions. She is delightful to deal with and always had a positive approach regardless of the issue.

Report
Critical: Professionalism, Responsiveness Unresponsive/unprofessional - Contacted agent the same day a rental unit was posted, was ignored for a few days, and then told that it already has pending applications and that I am unable to view.

Report
While I lived in a Brownstone Management property I would have hesitated to recommend them but said the pros probably outweigh the cons. When I moved out of the space I was blind sighted by them trying to take advantage of me and keeping the entirety of my security deposit claiming I had agreed to that. I ended up getting it back, but it took a month of emails and phone calls and legal advice. Know your rights and don't ever assume you are on the same page with them. Do your research and have your own back, because they certainly do not (even if they tell you they do).
