Review Travis Richards

Excellent service

Posted by T. SmithSat Oct 14 2017

Mr. Richards was easy to speak with, understood our concerns about our lease and addressed them clearly and intelligibly. We are moving from NY to NJ and the tenant laws are different. We feel good about making the decision to use his services as he answered all of our questions, also pointed out inconsistensies and legalese in the lease that we need to address and modify prior to signing. We would highly recommend him.

Extremely Helpful

Posted by SamanthaWed Jan 25 2017

Travis reviewed my lease, and mitigated any doubts as to the rights of the landlord to enter our rental unit. Additionally he pointed out some key issues with lease, which can have some impact to us the landlord when it comes to mitigate losses. He was absolutely courteous and clearly helped me understood the situation I am currently facing. Thank you so much.
