Rental Trends has been my real estate for the past 2 years and I have had an absolutely positive experience. Ann has guided me through the first time renting away from home and has been very patient and helpful when it comes to educating me around standard procedure. I absolutely trust Ann that if she says something to me her word is good and that it will happen behind the scenes without me having to worry! Mason Robb
