What do our clients say about @home

Just writing to say how impressed I have been with Mandy’s service. The routine inspection report I received was very thorough and she alerted me to the fact that the stove hot plates were not working. She then followed up with an electrician to see whether it would be more cost effective for me to get the stove repaired or purchase a new one and kept me updated regularly. I appreciated her efforts in working out the cheapest course of action for me. Once I purchased a new oven she arranged for it to collected and installed and I didn’t even have to leave my work desk! She is really professional and pleasant to deal with and I will be recommending @home and Mandy to anyone with a rental property. Regards, Alissa Hodge. See more testimonials here
