Finally getting around to this: 2 years with this company and everything with them is bad. They are not accountable. They do the bare minimum, the vendors they choose to maintain our property are unreliable and bad at their job. They refuse to do what they were hired for and then say it was "the vendor's fault and not in the budget, Maybe next year!"

If you're thinking of buying a condo owned by these folks, don't. We pay $400 a month in HOA fees and all we have are unsolved problems.
* Almost every night we have to call the police to remove transient people who sleep in our lobby. These folks smoke cigarettes, pee on the floor, and leave their trash everywhere. Despite many complaints from residents, Capitol Equities does nothing except encourage us to continue calling the police. Why not put a lock on the lobby door instead?

Capitol Equities is led by and filled with people who think and act like owners and founders. Its who they are. Maybe your business is about how many people you can serve. Or how many problems you can solve. If your firm is creative, in a high-tech or design niche, all the better. From big picture to blocking and tackling, Capitol Equities will help you find a home that fits you and your people. It will listen and work with you to make the most of your resources from bootstrap to scale, to go farther and faster.

The people at Capitol Equities are a joy to work with. The maintenance crew is quick to act whenever we have an issue on the property -- they are friendly and will routinely stop in and ask if we're having any problems. The management is approachable and easy to work with. We are being spoiled here!
