Ambiance, comfort, management, health: the habitat is the experience.
Habitat.report conducts quick-response quality-of-life building surveys for the buyers and renters of various property types. Now anyone can get the inside scoop on how satisfied occupants are with building services, comfort and property maintenance before renting or buying. We also conduct surveys for single-family home buyers giving them a useful insight into neighborhood ambiance and atmosphere.
Our information originates from the source - the living, breathing people who occupy the property. We give you the inhabitants' opinion about a property or neighborhood: the sentiments that can't easily be formatted into a database, and which has a direct impact on how you may experience the environment. As an investor, landlord or management company our reports give you a view into issues that need attention so you can spend more time expanding your portfolio rather than cycling through tenant applications.
