Landlord / Character References
Martin Riley, Sterling Tax Services Ltd, New Zealand (2009-2014)
“Having acted for Mark and Maria for over 5 years as their tax adviser/accountant I can vouch for their integrity and attention to detail. I will be sad to see them leave New Zealand but am excited by their plans and hope that one day they might return.”
Paul, Tauranga, New Zealand (2012-2013)
“Mark and Maria were my tenants for 12 months and I found them to be fantastic. They looked after the property like it was their own. Highly recommend them, it was sad to lose them.”
Clive & Tricia, Auckland, New Zealand (2010-2012)
“Mark & Maria rented our house in Auckland, New Zealand for 2 years while we were living overseas. They were excellent tenants. Our property was always presented and maintained in immaculate condition and we interacted directly with them to get things done when the property managers were not performing well. We would have no hesitation in recommending Mark & Maria as tenants or housesitters.”

I would be thrilled to host them again on their travels and recommend them warmly as guests to anyone!.”
