Since then I have built my portfolio to over 6 investment properties that he manages without fuss. Any issues that I have had over the years with tenants have been solved with the utmost of care and in a timely fashion. I would not hesitate to recommend Mark and his team to my friends or family with property management needs.

As a former customer of 17 years, it has been my experience that Stanley Samuels is dishonest and…read morevery deceitful in their reporting. Their claims of what they will do for you and what they deliver are worlds apart. We have over $130,000.00 dollars in damages and lost income because of the negligence of Stanley Samuels and their agent Bob Townsend. The majority of the damage was caused by two large dogs the agent allowed on the property, but the lease clearly stated there was only an outside cat was allowed. This was a clear breach and according to everyone that has been in the house the past year states the smell of the dogs hits you the moment the front door is opened yet Mr. Townsend & Mr. Stanley never reported this and allowed these dogs to remain in the property and destroy carpets, doors etc. We had our insurance inspector & hired an independent inspector to evaluate the damage to the property, since the agent Bob Townsend and Mark Stanley refused to provide us with reports and photographs of our property. Mark Stanley replied to our office when we were trying to settle this matter, "We have reinspected the property and do not accept that the tenant has caused damage to the property to the extent you claim. There has been a door replaced by the tenant which remains unpainted, and this is acknowledged, but your assertion that there are numerous items of damage is impossible to support. The property has been leased to this family for some 12 years and also rented I understand for 5 years prior to that to other parties. If you believe that the property is anything but reasonable condition given 17 years of renting out, we must agree to disagree." We obtained historic satellite images from Google Earth going back to 2003 as part of our investigation, it showed the pool & spa, which the tenant was responsible for maintaining. Mr. Townsend stated he was going to have to talk with the tenants about them not maintaining the pool because it was their responsibility, yet we were charged for the cleaning and super chlorination of the pool at the end of 2003. By the end of 2004 the satellite images show a green scummy pool, but it wasn't until Jan 5th 2006 we received notice from Mr. Townsend that a trade's person provided an estimate for replacement of the pool pump because it was tripping and a patch kit for the pool lining. The photos at that time show a dark green algae, scummy pool. It is clear by the photographs the pump more than likely was burning out because the tenants were not cleaning the pool, which was a breach of the lease. Mr. Townsend told us it was due to normal wear & tear but that pump and all equipment was new in Feb 2001 and the dogs more likely the dogs tore the lining of both the pool and spa. Mr. Townsend stated he would take care of the pool in 2006, so we were shocked to learn in 2013 he never did because he kept reporting everything was fine with the tenancy. These photos also showed that the tenants had been driving on the lawn over the irrigation system for over 10 years and parking up to two cars on top of the system. Mr. Townsend stated, "I have talked with the tenants, they assure me the cars are not parked on the lawns, and the watering system still operates, although their preference is now to use sprinklers. We received a quote from The Irrigation Doctor stating our system was inadequate and it was due to normal wear/tear and age and not the tenants fault. Yet, they were charging us over three thousand dollars just to replace sprinkler heads nothing else. When I questioned the Irrigation Doctor about the statement about the tenant they said that Mr. Townsend called them out for a quote on a total replacement and not a repair or inspection job and that statement was put on their due to the many conversations she had with Mr. Townsend and what the tenant told them. Once again we were lied to by Mr. Townsend & Mr. Stanley backed up his agent. Why would Stanley Samuels allow these tenants to stay in a property when they had so many breaches in the lease, owed years of water payments to us, destroyed our property, yet Stanley Samuels did nothing, even tried to get us to keep these tenants in the property and pay for the damage. To this date we have not been reimbursed by Stanley Samuels for any of this damage, even though they claimed they turned this matter over to their insurance company. Our insurance company has refused our claims because of the long term neglect of this agency, their failure to do inspections which they have no records of and report this damage to our office in a timely manner.

We're currently renting our house through Klemich and they've been excellent…read more Contemplating dealing with them.? Then perhaps the following will be useful... Here's the majority of interactions we've had with Klemick over the past year: *Locating a place - Virginia kindly gave us a lift to show the house we're currently in. It's been a good fit and we're happy with our choice. *Inspections - An awkward and invasive practice, but fairly painless through Klemich. They organized convenient times and came and left without a fuss. *Water heater burst - A torrent of water was running alongside the house and down the lane. Virginia promptly organized a repairperson who came nighttime and replaced the tank. *Leaky shower - This small repair was fixed in a timely fashion. They keep a key to your house. If it suits you the repairperson can pick up the keys from Klemich and do the repair with zero hassle to you. *We broke our lease - I'm moving to Sydney at the end of the month for work. There was one month left on our lease. They were understanding and Pipi has been very helpful in working to get our place rented out ASAP. In summary, we've found them to be a professional mob. They keep good communication. I've got plenty of trust in Klemich. Their Kent Town office is handy to town by car.

When I met David, I thought that my caravan was in good hands, but I was wrong. When I picked up the van, the first thing was my BOS370 jockey wheel shaft was bent from him continuously moving it in and out of the workshop, the window surrounds all have knife marks around all of the outside from him cutting the foam he used to seal the windows. I have photo evidence of the windows before and after the install. He attempted to say this was from factory. Excessive butyl mastic was left in the interior, inclusive of all my fly screens. The shower and toilet window surrounds internally were damaged and had sharp plastic protruding. The panel in the toilet was damaged. My shower head was damaged and cracked. The picnic table, which was brand new, supplied - had scratches down to metal all inside when opened. Not to mention the silicone around it was so poor. Toilet window doesn't close properly, I had window screws drilled in so hard, there is divots on the paneling now. He was quick to get me out of the door and used the testing of the air-conditioner as a distraction from all the other poor workmanship which I found that evening when inspecting at home. The van had butyl mastic everywhere and was just left in such a poor state. As a health professional - we have to work to high standards, and I would avoid this company at all costs as there are no standards here. You will be very disappointed in the standard of care that he will have on your caravan. I'm so disappointed. This has been a steep learning curve. The company should be renamed ' Adelaide Caravan Butcher '. Avoid at all costs. If you want a reputable caravan repair company that is 10/10 - look at one of my other reviews. I had to pay to get this all fixed out of my own pocket.
