Aspen Property Management

First of all I would like to mention that the majority of the glowing reviews Aspen Property receives online, are written by none other than Aspen themselves. I find it suspicious that all their positive reviews were posted one after another. February was a good month for them! The positive reviews read as though they were written by the same person. Furthermore, why would there be such a disparity between people who hate Aspen and those who think this company is the best thing since sliced bread? Keith Flanagan HSO (head snake of operations) is not ***. He knows how reviled his company is amongst renters therefore it would make sense to spend three minutes and make up dreamy reviews of your own company in order to drum up more business. Part of the reason they get away with murder is because Bozeman is a college/ski town and there is a constant influx of people coming and going...which the HSO absolutely loves. This is a greater opportunity to steal security deposits from unsuspecting tenants! If you doubt my words, I challenge you ask people around Bozeman on their views about Aspen. I myself rented a house through Aspen (despite strong advice not to) and have nothing but complaints. I'm not going to go into detail (at least not now) but I paid my rent on time. We took very good care of the house and returned it in 500% better condition. We planted grass, trimmed bushes and trees. We fixed all sorts of issues in the house ourselves due to many years of neglect by Aspen. They only respond after a dozen calls and threats are made. The long and the short, they "lost" paperwork, screwed us over on our deposit even though we spent an entire week cleaning the house from top to bottom. They employ shady tactics and will do whatever they can to *** over and save a buck. They were even fired by the homeowner the last month we were there (presumably for not fixing things in the house for which they assuredly billed the homeowner). The bottom line is this: even if you do everything right i.e. complete condition statement upon moving in, pay your rent on time, leave the house in BETTER condition than you found it and abide by all the rules, they will still find a way to pick your pocket. I lost many nights of sleep due to these crooks. Do yourself a favor. Avoid Aspen Properties at all cost!
