Glenns Story...

I drifted into the property management business after I was asked to take over the management of some very difficult low-grade flats. Adversity taught us how to succeed and flourish in a cold barren land that most others avoid like the plague. As our management and investment portfolio has grown over the last 15 years we have adapted to meet the needs of the market.

Today our large portfolio spans the whole spectrum of society in Nelson. The skills learnt in local Bad Street are adapted to handle pushy demanding upmarket tenants in a manner that makes them want to return. Higher risk tenants can be managed for a period. Almost everyone can be made to pay but getting both the bad and the good people to behave and look after a property in an appropriate manner is something that is an ongoing challenge. Failures are normally dispatched for others to attempt service on.
