The team at Balfour East Lake are remarkable. The way Hannah and the rest of the team put their heart into their work makes you feel like you are being taken care of like family. It would benefit the leasing world greatly if the team could go on a tour giving seminars or TED talks on how people could better take care of their tenants. We were really really sad to go.
