“The bodies corporate which I manage has employed the services of Broom for the last six years. Throughout this time we found Broom to be completely reliable, trustworthy, fair in both estimation of what had to be done and in the pricing of what was done, personable and knowledgeable. Likewise, we found Simeon Conabere to be a person who displayed all these qualities together with both a pleasant, empathetic and businesslike approach to whatever negotiations were needed in the management of these tasks..
The services we contracted with Broom were for general maintenance of the building and its surrounds, specialized cleaning and general repairs, and general oversight of the building. In our case, there were a number of tenants, each with differing expectations about what should be expected of the service. I have known of cases in other bodies corporate where this service was a constant source of argumentation and disagreement. Such dispute did not occur with Broom. Was there any dissatisfaction, which occurred on the rare occasion, Simeon was particularly receptive to hearing about this dissatisfaction and doing all that was reasonable to make it good. Moreover, his relationship with each of the tenants was professional and amicable.
Finally, there are several matters of trust involved when a body corporate contracts with its caretaker. Simeon and Broom fully understood each of these issues and in all his conduct, respected these requirements, proving themselves completely trustworthy.
For all these reasons, I can recommend Simeon and his company to any Body-corporate manager. If the opportunity arose to re-engage his services, we would do so without hesitation.”
