The Team is deliberately located in the Bay; we are close to our customers and pride ourselves on the highly personal, credible and responsive service that is increasingly appreciated by circa 1500 flats  and sought after by many more blocks as we continue our drive to be the Bay specialist provider. We place the owner and resident first in our considerations every time. We see people, clear communications and excellent service as our primary objectives. 

We are a great place to work and learn. The senior team is highly experienced and is equally keen to mentor and develop less experienced property and legal professionals. The service enjoys first class supportive tech for clients and clients  enjoy the personal touch and approach of our team as we meet with them in person regularly and raise the standards of services to their homes because we focus on a  5 mile radius of focus. Many competitors focus on corporate emails and scheduled visits which misses some of the key points clearly sought in the management of people’s homes and communal areas.
