Taylah was awesome to work with, super efficient and kind

I was looking for a rental to move into as soon as possible and hadn't been having much luck. But as soon as I contacted Taylah about her property, she had me in by the end of the next week. I’ve really appreciated her kindness, efficiency and happy attitude.
