Steve listened to my interests, needs and gave me some suggestions on unsure thoughts. It was great to have a conversation with someone who was very pleasant, understanding, yet professional. I am ...looking forward to future communication and visits with Steve in hopes of ending my apartment searching with Bala Apartment.Property Manager Responded
