I want to thank you and your company for standing by me the whole time and going the extra mile to make sure problems are resolved. You have gone above and beyond to make sure that I am taken care of. Your company is truly a relocation service and not merely an apartment hunting service. Your company has made the difference between me enduring a nightmare and having it all work out.
