       10/10! I highly recommend Harper Properties. The transition to Harper property a few years ago now was seem less, they handle absolutely everything at a high standard. Their prompt action for landlord and tenants needs are sorted very well and communication is fantastic. I have worked with Jon and McKenzie and highly recommend them both. If you’re considering using Harper properties go for it!

      I would highly recommend McKenzie, she is professional, approachable and just a all round great human.
Nothing has ever seemed to be too big or too small for McKenzie, she has always gone beyond as far as my experience with her and I can’t recommend her enough. She’s definitely the best property manager I’ve dealt with.
Thank you McKenzie for all that you do.
