Working with Dianne has been one of the best experiences that I have had while working with a management company. She is always quick to respond and is very friendly. Happy to be renting through a company that has employees like her. Great customer service is hard to come by these days!
The property managers are always quick to respond and provide friendly and helpful service. The handyman who came out to help with a garbage disposal replacement was on time, worked quickly and cleaned up after himself. We have been very happy with the service we have received thus far.
Renee is a top notch coordinator. She is always going above and beyond with her help when needed and has the best follow up track record of any property management coordinator that I’ve ever worked with. I always make sure to ask for her specifically because I know she will get things done. Everyone else has been equally helpful and a great experience working with HCM
