I thought working with a property management company would be the right way to go to avoid creepy…read morelandlords as a young female. Boy was I wrong. The staff at Windermere were dishonest to me and my roommate about the state of the home we were to move into. There was mold building up in the laundry room and the wall was falling apart due to a water leak. Issues that WE discovered ourselves. The leak was clearly visible to the human eye; my roommate took photos as soon as she saw the leak and we let Windermere know of the issue. Of course, this was after we had already paid $4,400.00 and signed our lease. These issues were completely ignored by all who did an "inspection" of the place. The mold is a huge concern of ours, as it should be. I had requested a professional mold test on December 17th but that request was never acknowledged and there was no follow-through. The people at Windermere made it seem like the mold was "no big deal". One of their staff members tried to tell us it was "lint stuck to the wall." That was very insulting because all photos show it is, in fact, mold. She also kept defensively talking over us, like our concerns were not valid and she had to "defend, defend, defend". She said something along the lines of, "when we complete our inspections we don't break open walls to look at their pipes.!" as an excuse. Well guess what, I didn't break down any walls either and I saw the water leak OUTSIDE of the walls. My roommate and I were not and have not, been living in the home due to the hazardous conditions. This company was not honest and scammed us out of money along with the landlord they represent. Had we known about these issues prior, we would never had signed the lease or given any money until the issues were addressed. It completely baffles me how all of these issues came about once the landlord and Windermere had our money and a signed lease. We were hopeful when we spoke with Paula at Windermere who said she would advise the landlord to forgive our January rent due to the living conditions. The landlord said "no" and that the conditions were "livable". And that was that. It's shocking because I keep thinking "Doesn't he want a good relationship with his tenants?". However, the landlord had to "drive 1,000 miles and take time off of work" due to him wanting to complete the repairs himself. That information was used by the landlord and Windermere as a tactic for us having to pay rent for a hazardous home. It was his choice to do the repairs when there were plenty of capable contractors right here in the community who would have completed the job within the week. It took a month for this guy to fix issues he ignored for a long time. This has been a terrible experience for me and I have 0 respect for Windermere Property Management and the landlords they represent and choose to defend. Now, if you can excuse me as I write a check for $2,200 for a house where I have not lived in over the past two months. This is due to Windermere's lack of anything regarding the mold test and the lack of urgency regarding the mushy wall in the laundry room. It's truly just the principle of the situation and I feel frustrated, and I am lacking hope for my living circumstances. 2025 is rough and I believe we all need to help each other out, not take advantage. And that is what Windermere did and does. All - Use caution and complete your own inspection before signing a lease agreement or giving any money. This company will lie to you and scam you and think nothing of it.

This is for the renter's side of their business…read more They charge tons of fees - $50 per person for the application, $20-25 for each pet, and when the first application came back with no results on the credit score they asked us to submit a new application, with new fees. They promised to refund the first application fees via email, and did not. All in all just applying cost us (two people + pets) about $300. Windermere did not even want to manage the property I was applying to and dropped the owner of the house as a client AFTER I paid all the fees - I was in touch with the owner and she was bewildered - it sounded like they have never wanted to take the property over and are so unscrupulous that they operated like they would just to get the application in. Read the other reviews. At best they are expensive, at worst they are fraudulent. It's so hard to avoid them because housing is tight here, but you will surely pay more in the end if you choose them out of desperation. They rely on you not going to small claims court or hiring legal to keep being scummy.

When we rented the house online at 2262 Cove Dr. a key feature was the boat dock. So after renting the house for the boat dock... they failed to mention that there was dredging all winter and nobody could even use the boats or had access to the dock. Not mention there was a dredging crew of workers looking inside of our house for six months... and they slept outside near our dock! Which again they will be dredging this fall for this house. We paid our rent early every month and yet received inappropriate calls on weekends. This is a must avoid business- as the manager will do whatever he can, including calling you on the weekends to ensure they get every penny from you, but ghost you if you need anything! Save yourself the trouble and find another property management.

Reminder: property Management companies are traditionally protective of landlords and not tenants…read more A good property management company balances this so that the arrangement is fair for both sides. This property management company takes landlord protections to the extreme. This is the specific clause within their leases that they use to screw over tenants: "If Tenant vacates prior to the expiration of the term as identified above, Tenant shall be fully responsible for the rent and all utility and operating costs for the premises until a new, qualified Tenant is secured, or until the end of the term- whichever is earlier. In addition, Tenant shall be responsible to pay the leasing fee and all associated costs to secure a new tenant." Our situation- we provided notice that we would not be living in the house 3 month before the expiration of the lease. The property management took about a month after we notified to list the property because they were fixing the roof. They did find a new tenant fairly quickly after that, but charged us $1400 to "secure a new tenant." Therefore, they were able to use the time we were paying rent to fix the house for the next tenant, got a new tenant, and got to charge us instead of the landlord to re-lease the property. We continued to pay rent, pay utilities, and mow the lawn the entire time before they were able to secure a new tenant. This is one property management company I would be very careful of. Not great for renters who are looking for a fair, equitable agreement with a landlord.

The first place it seemed like the owner was the only person working for the company, including doing any and all handyman/repair work. The second place was much different and we thought we liked them a lot. Turns out we didn't, but that's a whole other review. Our experience with this office was quick, efficient and very relieving. My husband called up after looking at a couple of listings he was interested in, spoke with Theresa and told her what we were looking for, and she also offered up a few things we passed over. We're really happy she did, because we are now in a town home that has everything we needed and wanted at a very affordable rate. We initially wanted a single family home, because we really wanted a garage, and she encouraged us to look anyways. SFH were more expensive with less room inside and no neighbors with connecting walls. She understood our needs and found us a town home that had a garage and was at the end of the building, so we only have one neighbor with connecting walls. The neighbor is just one guy, who is almost never home and when he is is super quiet. We've met him a few times in the less than a month that we've been here. He's also really nice. I know you can't always pick your neighbors, but Theresa really understood that we are a quiet couple who like our home to be equally as quite, jets excluded, and said she knew this would be a good fit because we match very well with the neighbors. It means a lot that she would look out more for us and our wants and needs that she did her bottom line. The tenants who stayed here before us kind of messed up the place, and she did an amazing job making sure everything was in clean and working order. Noticing the repair and work orders needed to get this place back in good condition, I know that the cost was just over what she actually made from renting to the young couple over the 6 month lease, but as a responsible property manager she did what she had to do. I can respect that completely. My husband and I are planning to buy a house by the end of our lease, and in the event that we have to move, we have already decided that she is going to be the property manager if we decide to rent versus selling.

In my personal and lengthy experience working with and being heavily assisted by Ed and Anita, I have observed nothing but integrity, sincerity, professionalism and humility. They clearly care about their customers and act in a moral and ethical manner at all times. They are prompt with my needs or concerns. They take the time to have a conservation with me and it often is highly informative, educational and constructive for my own benefit. I love that they are local, immensely caring for their community and truly demonstrate a desire to help any and all of my concerns. I assure anyone reading this review, the negative opinions about Island Broker Realty are likely an anomaly and by no means, are accurate in the representation of this company as a whole. It saddens me, having personally observed their organizational behavior and the community that works with them, that only the few and seldom who do have a negative experience tend to be the ones that project their voice in order to satisfy something deep inside themselves.
