I have had my rental managed by Summit for 17 years now. My current manager, Lydia, is one of the best! She is a great communicator and has capably & competently handled any issues & problems that have arisen at the property. As a long distance owner, it’s very reassuring to know that I can trust Lydia to care for my property.

We cannot fault Summit. They have managed our rental since 2006 and the service has always been outstanding. Not only do they do the routine checks extremely well and follow up on the smallest problems they also handle major issues with a minimum of fuss, and a high degree of professionalism - always keeping us in the loop. One definite plus is that we have just one person attached to our property. We can't speak highly enough of both staff and the relationship between us and them is just as it should be.

I would happily recommend Summit especially the ever professional Lydia McKenzie. We found Lydia to be al all times responsive to our needs and very knowledgeable. Lydia managed our property as if it were her own - if she made a recommendation she would provide us with information and alternative. We were particularly impressed her her attention to detail. And on top of all that, a genuinely lovely person

Lydia McKenzie, has been looking after our two properties for the last 4 years, and we highly recommend her services as your property manager. She has been invaluable to us, doing a very professional job well beyond our expectations, with easy and reliable communication between our tenants and us. Her enthusiasm, dedication to her work, her friendly and caring nature, empathy and great people skills make her a real gem in this business.

Lydia McKenzie has been looking after the rental of our property at Cleveland Terrace for nearly 2 years. We are extremely happy with the way she looks after things and feel she has our best interests at heart.

People say property is a passive investment - I think that is untrue. Lydia from Summit has been managing our residential rental properties in a highly professional manner for several years. She has identified maintenance issues and arranged quotes from experienced tradespeople, dealt with a fencing dispute with a neighbour and made sure the rent is paid. I can recommend Lydia and Summit to any property investor.

We would like to thank you for the excellent service you have provided us in recent years. We were very comfortable having you manage the property and would have no hesitation in using you again as our property manager.

She is a great communicator and has capably & competently handled any issues & problems that have arisen at the property. As a long-distance owner, it’s very reassuring to know that I can trust Lydia to care for my property.
