By far the best property management! The team always made sure to have responded to any immediate attention! They are available via phone, email, & text!! An automated payment through their app right on your phone! What more can you ask for! I’ve had a few concerns in regards to the house but they get right on it! Communication 5 STARS! I would definitely give more stars if it was unlimited! In the beginning Thomas was my manager, he was awesome! And then now my current manager is Brooke Silverstre, and she is even MORE awesome! She’s always punctual, fun, easy going and so on and so on! I could list more things about her. I am happy, satisfied, and content. I couldn’t ask for more. They go beyond my needs.
