Said by people who rent and own with us

  • Four units, three years, and I have never had to chase a rent payment. The statements are clear enough that my accountant stopped asking questions.

    Owner of four unitsOld Market

  • The heating died on a Sunday in January. Someone picked up, and the engineer was there before dark.

    Resident for two yearsNorth Hill

  • We moved from out of state and viewed the house on a video call first. Everything they said about it was true.

    Family renting a houseParkside

  • They found a tenant in eleven days and told me the honest rent, which was lower than I hoped and exactly right.

  • I report a leak with a photo and get a time slot back the same afternoon. That is all I want from a landlord.

    Resident, studioOld Market

  • Switched our building of twelve over from another manager. The handover took a week and the residents noticed the difference.
