:) Happy to help, I have extensive experience there.

I appreciate your suggestions or if you could comment on your experiences.

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

I want to actually hear it from people who have experience with the area and who know what's going on.
