Apart from the fact that they hired my building manager, Richard, I don't know much about FirstService Residential. Richard is such a good building manager, however, that I'd certainly give them the benefit of the doubt should I ever think of moving. A few examples:

No surprises- Renovation/repair work recently completed and throughout the process, signs were placed to keep us up to date on where the work would be, how long it would take place, and what we could expect. Fire inspectors recently came by and again, we had letter explaining when and what would happen. Same thing with a drainage inspection.

Keeps things clean- The entryway is always clean, tidy and welcoming to come home to. I don't know if I've ever seen a cigarette butt near the building, and the laundry areas is spotless.

Good environment- Richard takes the time to decorate for holidays including a big ghost hanging outside on the sidewalk during Halloween. He's an overall cheerful guy and always greets me with a smile and a friendly hello and whenever I stop by his office for a chat, he's engaging and kind.

I honestly have nothing but great things to say about my experience with FirstService in general and Richard in particular.
