John Harte and his staff were excellent and professional at all times. We were able to process our papers very quickly and efficiently for my nephew travelling internationally. He was very accommodating and supportive at all times during the process. Thank you for the support John. Juanita (Ottawa)

I just moved into the Carillon recently, and the experience was smooth and professional. Given limitations caused by the pandemic, those parts of the process that could not be handled in person were done quite thoroughly by email and phone.
The apartment itself was clean and well-organised. A microwave oven and a shower curtain were included.
John, the Superintendent, showed me around the place and was very helpful throughout the stressful process of moving in.

Just moved into a District Realty unit, and everything has gone very smoothly and professionally. Everyone I have dealt with - John, Shelby and Ryan - has been excellent. John is always accessible by phone, and knows everything. Shelby turns paperwork and emails around right away. And Ryan did an awesome job getting the unit cleaned up for move in, especially given the short notice. It has been a massive relief to have everything go so well - in comparison, the local slumlords and kijiji people were a complete nightmare.

I've lived with District for over a year and a half and I have never had a problem with management. Notices for fire tests and maintenance were always delivered in a timely manner. Whenever we needed help with maintenance (which was not often), they were always on top of everything. Lobbies are always kept clean, staff is extremely friendly especially their leasing agent, Shelby. She was an absolute gem with helping our move-in process and move-out process.

I am very happy to have done business with District Realty. Mr. Ryan Gordon, the superintendent, is the best. In short, he was very easygoing, really helpful and professional. I'd like to thank Ms. S. Whitehead, Ms. T. Sher and Mr. J. Harte as well for their prompt help and collaboration with me.

We leaved in a condo of District Realty for two years. Ryan was the super intended of our building - Ryan is a good guy, sociable, helpful and always with a smile. But above all he is very professional, responsible and always ready to help with any problem we had !!

I have been pleased with my apartment in Sandy Hill managed by District Realty. I have been a tenant for 2 years and would have been happy to stay indefinitely if I hadn't had an opportunity to move close to family. This is an older building but it is well managed and looked after. My contacts with everyone, including Shelby and Tasmia has been very pleasant and helpful. Rent is affordable and the downtown location is close to buses, the O-Train, the Byward Market, shopping and entertainment of all kinds!

I have rented from a lot of different companies and lived all over the city.
District realty has been exceptional at providing top service in a fast and friendly manner.
The office staff are very knowledgeable and kind. Always treating my needs with prompt attention.
If I ever had any issues pertaining to the apartment, the superintendent was always quick and very friendly. The one time there was a serious issue, he communicated very clearly with me and resolved it within a few hours. He is an exceptional hard worker and a truly rare person.
I am very impressed with District Realty. My family

I have been living in one of the District Realty properties (Cooper St., Ottawa) for just under a year now, and have had only positive experiences with the staff. Particularly, John, the Property Manager, has been extremely attentive, helpful, and responsive. He responds instantly to my issues/concerns, and goes above and beyond his designated responsibilities. Whenever I have needed him to sign or avail himself to receive something for me, he has done so gracefully. He is extremely generous with his time.
I have never had such a positive experience with a property manager before! And on top of
