Risa Sternbild

Tenant

"We had the pleasure of renting from these ladies for a total of about four years. Renting a home can sometimes be a stressful process. We all know there are plenty of landlords out there who are not at all attentive to tenant needs and concerns.

Well let me tell you, that is never the case when renting from Tanya and Laura! I was continuously astounded by the amount of professionalism and genuine care that these ladies provided. They always responded in a very timely and friendly manner to any questions or concerns.

Also, they make things very convenient by providing an online portal for tenants to pay their rent, request for any maintenance, and so on without any hassle! If you ever have the opportunity to rent or work with these ladies don't hesitate!

They are the best!

Well we just received the keys back and the house is in as good if not better shape than when it was rented! They found great tenants, as we didn't want students, and made sure the property was well taken care of for the entire time."
