I could not have had a better experience with this company. They have managed my property for over 10 years. They have been extremely responsive to my needs in obtaining and retaining renters over the years. When it was time to sell and I lived several states away, Rani helped me through the entire process. As a project manager and real estate agent, she supported me in getting bids to get the property ready for resale, oversaw the work and served as quality control. I trusted her through every interaction and knew that she was looking out for my best interest. She supported the sale process perfectly

Divine Investments has managed our building for over 10 years. I was searching for a new management company due to many frustrations with our prior company. As president of an eight-unit historic building (built in 1866) located on the east side of Providence, I was faced with the task of maintenance, landscaping, regulations (both from the historical society, and the city) budget, and in dire need of professional management. I met with Rani Vails, President of Divine Investments, and immediately felt this could be the answer to my problems. Rani demonstrated empathy and professionalism in addressing

I have been working with Divine Investments for 9 years now. I couldn't be happier with the job they have done managing my condo rental while I live out of state as well as the job they did managing the whole association. Issues with the property were handled promptly and effectively. It helps that they know the community so well, because experience is everything when it comes to "putting out fires".

Ive lived in an apartment managed by Divine Invesents for 9 years. I know I can depend on them to address any issues I have in a timely manner. Danny, who does our maintenance is so friendly and helpful, even my kids talk about how nice he is. Overall just a really trustworthy company to work with. The house recently sold and Im sad I wont get to work with DI any longer.
