“As a condominium property manager, ensuring safety and peace of mind for our residents is essential. Verkada’s system, installed and supported by Relevate One, has been an outstanding solution. The cameras and monitoring tools are reliable, intuitive, and provide the visibility we need to effectively manage our community. Relevate handled the installation seamlessly and continues to offer excellent support. Their professionalism and expertise make them a trusted partner, and I highly recommend both Verkada and Relevate for any condominium community seeking a dependable, modern security solution.”

“Relevate made my job easier from day one. As the facility manager of an upscale high-rise condominium, the safety and security of our community is paramount. Relevate thoroughly evaluated our security environment and delivered a well-thought-out plan tailored to our needs. Their execution, training, and ongoing support have been outstanding. As we continue to scale toward our master plan, their IT expertise has also helped resolve challenges with our network infrastructure. The new cameras are intuitive and make it easy to review footage and share it seamlessly—even when I’m working remotely.”
Roy A. McCleery, Facility Manager, FirstService Residential
“I’ve worked with a lot of technology vendors over the years, but Relevate stands out for their strategic, big-picture thinking. They don’t just push products—they help you design a long-term solution that works for your team, your residents, and your operations. It’s rare to find a partner that gets the nuance of community management, but Leah and her team really get it.”
