These people are slum lords. I rented a property from them in the fall only to discover that the heating systems didn't work in winter and the property's temperature would rise to the low 90's in the summer. I notified the company that the HVAC system did not work over a dozen times and they refused to actually repair the system. I promptly elected to leave the premises and notified the company of same. The company received my notice and said they were fine with my departure. Several years later they decided to evict their then current tenant and named me as a party. When I advised them that they

Robin Rawle with Demand Realty left no stone unturned. She knew the ins and outs of every possible detail in order to make owning the property of our dreams a reality. As if that wasnt enough, she also sold our other home in record time allowing us to be able to speedily move on to making an offer on the home we now own. We wanted more property for our kids and she made it happen in a timely manner in our budget. We couldnt be happier, and we could never thank her enough for her help throughout the entire process of both buying and selling!
