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.
