I recently signed a lease with ascend property. I have mostly spoken to Codi, Zach, and Sal regarding my virtual tour of the property and my application. Since we are moving over 1800 miles away from Oklahoma City, it has been very stressful with a lot of moving parts to coordinate, and they have been very helpful and transparent. If you’re looking to move in the south Maine area, you’d be hard pressed to find a better company!

Took a tour of 160 Bracket St. Trish was super helpful and my point of contact within the company, Codi, is attentive to the phone line. Zach is an excellent as leasing agent.

Cody was very efficient and on the spot. Very knowledgeable about the property. Just rented yesterday so I can’t speak to other aspects of company. So far, they are very helpful. Did have a hard time understanding Zach in the phone because of his accent. Look forward to working with them.

Codi Farrington has been fabulous throughout my journey of moving in and out of the property.
I had an excellent experience working with Codi. From the day I moved in until the day I moved out, Codi was professional, responsive, and incredibly helpful every step of the way.
The move-in process was smooth and well organized, and whenever I had questions, Codi provided prompt responses and clear guidance. Throughout my tenancy, communication was always timely and professional, which made everything much easier.
When it came time to move out, Codi was just as supportive, making the process straightforward and stress-free. It's rare to find a property manager who is so attentive, reliable, and genuinely committed to helping residents.
I highly recommend Codi and Ascend Property Management to anyone looking for a positive rental experience. Thank you for all your help!
