We have been working with Susan to find renters for our “winter rental” property for the last 7 years – she is REALLY good at what she does. Susan first and foremost takes your needs as the owner into account and bases her search for renters around that – she isn’t looking to just find renters for your property, she is looking to find the RIGHT renters for your property. Her ability to vet potential renters is impressive. My husband and I would recommend her services without reservation.

The saying is “April Showers Bring May  Flowers” and the origination of that saying may date back to a poem from 1610 from some quick internet research that had the line “Sweet April showers, do spring May flowers”.  The same internet research suggests that this likely came from the northern British Isles and Ireland.
