Caron O'Grady - Barfoot & Thompson Property Manager

I recommend All Clear Group to my owners for a baseline m**h test before any new tenant moves in. 👍 Better safe than sorry - it could save thousands of dollars down the track!

A recent Auckland Tenancy Tribunal case highlights the serious consequences of m**hamphetamine contamination in rental properties.

The case involved a property used as a large-scale m**hamphetamine laboratory, highlighting the challenges landlords can face when dealing with contamination, remediation and the future of their property.

For landlords and property managers, it’s a reminder of the importance of appropriate m**h testing, professional advice and clear documentation.

Need m**h testing for your property? All Clear can help.

🥇🏆 Laura is #1

❤️ 🧡 💛 💚 🩵 💙 💜 🩷

Laura is #1 in sales in our Swanson office for a very good reason.

There are some genuinely kind and caring people in real estate. Laura is one of them.

An elderly gentleman came down our driveway after a doctor’s appointment. He’d forgotten where he’d parked his car. Laura stopped what she was doing, helped him and walked around Swanson with him looking for it. She was so caring.

After both my parents had dementia, I notice little things like this.

Check out the testimonial below from one of her recent sellers. It says exactly why Laura is #1!

Sometimes, lease is more.
In Aotearoa New Zealand, owning a home has long been treated as the goal. And it may well be yours. But that doesn’t mean renting is simply the bit before real life begins. Depending on your age and stage, it may be exactly what suits you now.

At the recent Property Managers’ Day, awards were presented based on nominations from tenants for their favourite Property Manager.

Head Office has just sent through our team’s nominations, and what lovely feedback to receive! ⭐

We’ve included just a small selection of the words used by tenants in the image — and they really do say it all. 💛

Patrick, Amanda & Caron — have a read, pat yourselves on the back and be proud. It’s a great reminder that your hard work, kindness, support and the care you show your tenants really does get noticed and appreciated.

Well done, team — thoroughly deserved! 💛
