“I know that more often you hear complaints rather than thank you. We do appreciate that you have taken our maintenance calls and sent someone out rather than just blow it off saying it’s fine and there’s no maintenance need. Andrew has been very kind and my kids always enjoy talking to him when he stops by.”

“I was concerned about being able to take out my trash with all this snow. My walker definitely does not like the snow! But your excellent snow removal crews did a beautiful job plowing and shoveling, not once, but twice, including braving the below-zero wind chills today. This is just one of the many reasons that I love my rental, and appreciate all your work on our be halves!”
