“Viv has been nothing short of fantastic. I made the decision to use a property manager after experiencing a bit of difficulty with my tenant and when I called Viv she took the problem from me and sorted everything super quickly. I now have absolute peace of mind knowing my property is being well cared for and that I am meeting all my requirements as a landlord. I cannot recommend Viv highly enough.”

On behalf of Summit property management, Blenheim, Viv used to be the property manager of my house in Blenheim from September 2019 till December 2022. I must admit that she is the best manager I have worked with so far. Viv guided me with all important decision-making regarding the rental advice and general maintenance of the property. She is a very reliable and responsible person. I will highly recommend her as a property manager without any hesitation.
