Do yourself a favour and do not do business with this agency. I have reported a water leak 6 months ago and they have still not fixed it. I have been calling and emailing but they use the excuse of "working from home" to not to get back to you. The damage caused by the leak is so huge ... Read Full Review

Over the course of managing my property they failed to spot water damage in an inspection, failed to get a contractor to attend to damage once requested for 3 months, incorrectly contracted ...

AVOID at all costs. Working with this managing agency was the worst mistake I ever made. They do not care about their clients be it a landlord or tenant. They do not respect contractual agreements, they falsify legal documentation, keep your deposit once it has been released from the deposit ... Read Full Review
