Better by Design Real Estate

I need to update this review as some of the information has changed. Peter Lamandre was sentenced to 11 – 23 months in jail, 5 years probation following that and is no longer allowed to sell or manage real estate. In addition he was ordered to pay $ 376,000 in restitution to his victims. This is documented in Lackawanna County court records and even made the news.
We experienced multiple problems with this company. Mostly poor and/​or nonexistent communication, such as they claimed to be mowing the lawn but a neighbor sent me photographs proving otherwise, with grass 3 feet high, which is not something that happens if a lawn is being maintained. Repair companies not being paid in a timely manner, one took many months to be paid. Our property was on the MLS being shown to tenants, we had no idea that 26 bags worth of trash and other junk were in the house along with cat urine stained carpeting and mattresses, and mold in the refrigerator and carpeting so badly stained it had to be replaced. There was even a stolen shopping cart in the basement. Also at some point, rent monies just stopped coming in and when we tried to contact the company we got no response. We had to sue but from what I understand we were not alone. All of these issues were documented in photographs and other materials. It saddens and sickens me that others may have had similar to far worse experiences.

Agreeing with what Theresa said. Peter Lamandre is the owner. Better by your own design to not do business with Better By Design.
Communications with them are fruitless, either ignored or if actually in contact they either lie to you or try to bully you.

Beware, he pontificates all these promises but doesn’t deliver.
Do your homework before engaging in any business transaction with this guy!
