It has been an absolute pleasure dealing with Mark Smith from Property Scouts. He is efficient, professional, driven and result oriented. My rental property was listed on Aug 14 and tenant moved in by Aug 22 ..that is one week turnaround! Mark organised the Healthy Home Inspection, installation of smoke alarms, heat pump and made sure everything is compliant. Thank you Mark. You are amazing. I would highly recommend you to anyone who is looking for a reliable and trustworthy Property Manager! More...

Working with Mark as our property manager has been an absolute pleasure. Mark made the entire process smooth and stress-free. He’s knowledgeable, professional, and incredibly approachable—always ready with helpful advice and quick to respond to any questions or concerns. What really stood out to us is how genuinely warm and down-to-earth he is. You can tell he cares about what he does, and that personal touch made a big difference for us. Mark brings a unique perspective from his varied life experiences, which clearly adds value to how he manages properties. We’re really grateful for all the support he’s provided and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mark and Property Scouts to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and experienced property manager. I would give more stars if I could 😊 More...

After having a terrible property manager, I was very picky about who I decided to go with next. I’m absolutely blown away by how amazing Mark is. He has gone above and beyond and is an absolute pleasure to deal with. Professional and yet he makes you feel like you’re part of the Propertyscouts family. I wish I had of chosen him first as a manager for my rental but I’m so glad we got there in the end. I’ve signed up a second rental with Mark as well as recommending him to everyone I know. If you’re still deciding on a manager or are wanting to change companies like I was, look no further. Mark is your man More...

Our property manager, Mark, has gone above and beyond in every way since we first met him. A more helpful, personable property manager would be difficult to find. Mark has always been absolutely prompt and eager to help whenever we have needed to contact him and acts without the long delays we'd come to expect of (previous) property management. As tenants, we know we are in good hands and feel supported with Mark and his outreach of talents - from moving furniture, to recommending sales personnel, to fixing items around the house and also his good natured and relentlessly helpful manner. I highly recommend him, 100/10! 😁 More...
