Report
Very disappointed with the customer service provided. you'd think that a company based on renting and selling properties would do it effectively and professionally. nope. Anna was always quick to let you know she was the manager and was the rudest most vile person I have ever met. I guess it's the reason it's staff keep changing. Evil dog.
