We contacted Kathie when we were looking to buy our first motel lease. She listened to what we wanted and went about finding the right property for us. At all times we have found her to be professional and her knowledge of the motel industry has been and still is of great assistance to us. We have developed a strong friendship with Kathie and wouldn't hesitate to use her again for selling or purchasing other properties.

We have recently retired from the motel industry, and have known Richard & Kathie Shepard for approximately ten years. During that time we have found them to be very dedicated to their business, and ran a very successful motel complex. In all the dealings we had with them we were impressed with their professionalism and customer relations. Both Kathie and Richard were very involved in motel association matters and Kathie spent two years as Vice President during the time we were on the committee. Her ability to discuss matters impartially, and arrive at a concise and sensible conclusion was always appreciated. Kathie also kept a level head when discussing contentious matters, and always had members interests at the forefront of her argument. We are sure they will maintain the high level of integrity and customer relations they brought to their motel operation, in any new venture they may undertake. It was a pleasure to count them as associates during the time we had in the industry, and we wish them well in their future endeavours.

Richard and Kathie Shepard have over the past 10 years established themselves at the leading edge of motel operation in Hamilton. They combine experience in all aspects of professionally running a licensed motor inn with a common sense approach to customer service and business development. Their pragmatic approach to issue resolution and single minded focus on customer needs has seen their market share substantially increase over their years of operation and resulted in a rewarding and thoroughly deserved capital growth in their investment. They have both decided to contribute to the motel industry in different ways and I would strongly recommend prospective moteliers tap into their wealth of knowledge in the industry.
