Client Spotlight:
We moved from Tennessee to Michigan, honestly didn't know what to expect, ended up finding a fabulous realtor, who led us to this wonderful property management company. The Property Edge was spectacular, we were not expecting five star service, but that is what we got each and every-time. As soon as we had an issue, they sent somebody to fix it, and not just anybody either, people who were genuinely kind and considerate with A+ customer service skills! Wonderful time management, and straight forward expectations from their end also. We honestly would have liked to have stayed longer under their management, but moved closer to work. Many thanks again to The Property Edge, for setting an excellent standard for which we shall compare all others from this point on! Karle A. | Detroit, MI
