Roers

I've lived in the Wisent townhomes for over a year and I don't plan on moving out until I graduate. Pros include the good location, access to in-unit wash/dryer, more of a "home" feeling than an apartment set-up wise, 2-car garage, ROERs tries to hold events to bring people together which is nice if you want to meet people, and its relatively easy to afford if you have multiple roomates or a basic income. Cons are that sometimes parking is a hassle with neighbors especially on the alleyside, units are sometimes not fixed when you move in (ours had random caulk in the bathroom, patched holes that werent painted, and bathroom/laundry room flooring that was coming off/stained), communication sometimes is challenging when multiple people have different answers or forget that they were supposed to meet you at a certain time. Another challenge can also be maintenance, we had an issue where a maintenance worker walked in early in the morning and just screamed the word "maintenance" and we were caught very off gaurd. One of us was even coming out of the shower. Apparently there is a rule that says if they are just replacing lights then they don't need to tell you they are coming? It was weird and frightening and so now I just make sure that we say they have to contact us before entering. Maintenance also will try to help solve a problem but end up making it worse, for instance we had a wasp problem at our front door so they packed it in with a powder but then (because of a crack in our door thats been there since we moved in) they started swarming into the unit and blocking the only exists to the building. Eventually they put up a wasp catcher and tried to block the cracks in the door with a cheap foam thats already been ripped apart from basic open/closing of the door and I created a weird solution to spray at them from the top of my stairs so they fell and I squished them. Otherwise, maintenance is ok done you just have to be patient sometimes. It seems like a lot but those instances come very few in the time I have lived here. There are definitely other pros/cons that you'll find though if you live here, especially if you have to drop/change roomates or you have security issues, but overall it's an average college student choice to get a feel of what it's like to not live in a dorm.

We moved in as of June this year and went from so happy and optimistic to absolutely fed up and frustrated. All the amenities are behind schedule and NOBODY communicates, parking wasn't thought out, our downstairs neighbor must be psychic or schizpo- because him "hearing" a leak has resulted in management entering our unit with no notice multiple times, cutting out walls (destroying our BRAND NEW HOME) and violating what little privacy renters DO have. Mind you, my partner works in water mitigation and each time Roers has conducted assements, we’ve used a moisture meter and have found nothing to indicate any ongoing issues. Including when we conducted our own assessment on the wall they left open and claimed the leak was coming from. It was completely dry and had dust- dust can’t form in a wet environment😐 We also haven't gotten ANY our electric bills- and yes while I get it's a new system- I don't recall signing up to be Roers guinea pig. On top of that, our brand new oven turns itself off every time we go to preheat it. It took multiple work orders (and no communication) from move in just for it to be “fixed” aka- it still does this- we are just actually able to flip it back on now for long enough to cook before it happens again. I went from thinking so highly of Roers to the absolute opposite within 3-4mos? I wouldn't recommend- in fact I will absolutely steer anyone I know AWAY, who may consider this place. Oh, also, we never get updates on the timeline of things (mail room, amenities, parking, key fobs, etc) and EVERYTHING is pushed out- we don’t even know when the gym is coming anymore. Last I heard was September.. it’s Sept 3rd. but funny to hear them giving the run down to prospects/new tenants. We should inquire- we might actually receive info on the complex! Roers does not have staff that know how to communicate with their residents whatsoever. We’ve had to consistently reach out and ask for updates just to be told misleading or incorrect information. I only was able to get what we needed by having a sit down meeting, and even that seems to be pointless as what they told me vs what is happening are two completely different things. -10/10, wouldn’t recommend, save yourself the headache. I wish I had known this is how they conduct themselves, we wouldn’t have leased an apartment. It’s been truly a terrible experience.

We have been working with Roers for many, many years on numerous construction projects (large and small) across the regions they do business. Working as a subcontractor to Roers, we have always been treated with the upmost respect and always had a "voice at the table" during our meetings. Not just a number or a "contract". They work with us as a partner with them doing everything possible to create the best possible buildings for our mutual clients, the end user of the structures we create, while staying within budget and adhering to deadlines. They have worked with us professionally whenever changes occur on rapid changing job sites, and are realistic with deadlines and understand cost changes if/when they occur. We are excited and proud to work with Roers whenever we get the opportunity, and look forward to continuing business with them for years to come! Michael Graham President Magnum Electric Inc

I've worked with Roers for many years and can't say enough good things about the people working there. They're always been very responsive, and professional. Their property management team puts together fun activities at their properties to engage residents and offer more than just a place to live. Their management team are great community stewards by giving back of their time and talents - whether that's through their annual community chili feed, membership on community boards, involvement in the Chamber, or various other volunteer activities. Roers is Building Success for their business and our community!
