That said, I’ve come across many property managers and paralegals in my lengthy experience as a professional real estate investor and, as you know, our community is a small one. Everyone hears the good and bad on everyone. There is a vast amount of good references for Diane’s work, hence I reached out to her for this interview that we recorded shortly after the new Ontario standardized lease was announced.

The interview was a surprising one for me. I asked Diane to do this interview to talk about the standardized lease, which we did, but she taught me even more about her people skills in communicating and setting expectations with customers. Be ready to take notes as Diane’s lessons are next-level and this is not taught anywhere!
