During my work experience, all of the team was welcoming, not to mention considerate enough to make me a part of all of the works; from meetings with potential future homeowners - and businesses interested in buying office spaces, to visiting various properties to conduct valuations. For a personal approach to business, choose KALMARs.

A friend of mine wanted to rent a space retail for a hair beauty salon but apparently they do not care about us probably because of the language we speak,
We went there a spike to a agent, everything looked good we emailed them but we never get any answer, they still have the space empty but as I said before if we do not look like a cool people they do not put energy but they lost a tenant who has the money to pay, I think they overjudge. Very bad company at all.
