The folk at EKIN were superbly professional and pro-active managing the challenges our block was facing…
★★★★★
The combination of technical expertise, responsiveness, professionalism, and excellent customer service made all the difference during what was a very stressful period.
★★★★★
I have seen first-hand the amount of time, structure and effort that Mikel and Mar have put into improving matters at Viscount Point. They helped bring clarity to ongoing issues, coordinated residents and owners, pushed forward important fire safety actions and worked hard to improve visibility on finances and next steps. They are proactive, committed and very focused on getting things properly organised. I highly recommend them.
★★★★★
Mar is someone we trust whenever property issues come up. She is resourceful, professional and very good at connecting people with the right contractors. She has a practical mindset and clearly knows how to deal with building problems efficiently.
★★★★★
Whenever we have had property-related issues or needed trustworthy contractor recommendations, Mikel has been one of the first people we speak to. He is practical, knowledgeable and well connected to reliable trades. He takes problems seriously and always tries to point people in the right direction.
★★★★★
I worked with Mikel on construction projects and found him to be highly reliable, proactive and solution-focused. He is the kind of person who stays calm under pressure, understands technical issues quickly and works hard to move problems towards a practical resolution. He is professional, dependable and a pleasure to work with.
