I am writing this review to document a serious and disappointing experience I encountered after…read moremoving out of Springs at Westport in Port Charlotte. After properly terminating my lease and moving out, I received a notice from FPL informing me that my account was being closed because a new tenant had already moved into the unit--approximately two weeks after my move-out date. Despite this clear confirmation that the apartment was re-occupied, Springs at Westport is still attempting to charge me thousands of dollars in fees. A few days later, Springs at Westport contacted me again and stated they would be sending this balance to collections, even though the unit had already been leased to someone else. This situation is extremely concerning and unfair, as I am being billed for time I did not live in the apartment and for a unit that was already generating income from another renter. This experience has been stressful, unprofessional, and completely unnecessary. I hope management takes accountability and resolves this issue so that no future resident has to deal with the same treatment.

I found the springs after I looked at the next door Apartments which were substandard to my needs…read moreand found that these were much better and to my liking . The property manager was able to hold my apartment until my house sold as I had requirements due to my disability to be on the first floor and to have a walk-in shower of which there were limited Apartments . Since moving in last month I have enjoyed meeting my neighbors and working with the staff here there has been no problems except blown breaker which was fixed immediately . I plan on staying here a long time and enjoy the people that work here as they are helping me to transition from a homeowner to an apartment renter after 40 years . I would recommend the springs greatly for its quiet neighborhood and professional staff .

My partner and I rented a home in Venice, Fl. for the months of February and March, 2025…read more Unfortunately our experience was less than we expected as the home was not ready for occupancy when we arrived on Saturday, February 1st. Because it was a Saturday the office was closed and we had to obtain our entry packet through a lock box. Our first problem was trying to enter the front door with the code we were given. The code was incorrect and we spent quite awhile trying to make it work. A phone call to Horse & Chaise was answered by a recording. We went around to the side and were finally able the get in using the keys. but to our dismay the paving bricks all along the side of the house were loose. An orange construction cone was on top. The pavers along the pool underneath the cage were also loose. This was a problem as our 4 and 2 year old granddaughters were coming on the 3rd. We finally got ahold of someone at Horse & Chaise on Monday but although Brian came and took pictures, it was over a week until the pavers were repaired and as we feared our granddaughters tripped and fell. It was several days until the code was changed so we could access the home through the front door. There was a CharBroil gas grill out by the pool under the cage. It did not appear it had been used in some time. It was rusty and the warmest it got was 250 degrees. We used it once after scrubbing it with a brillo pad but our food had chunks of rust and metal on it. We went to Ace Hardware and bought a small grill. Also evident was the cockroach infestation. We killed several. Finally, the bench alongside the bistro table in the Florida room was missing a support rail and was wobbly. We approached Horse & Chaise regarding some compensation for our less than satisfactory experience. We were rebuffed. Think twice about renting through Horse & Chaise.

We had an amazing experience working with Pamela. From the very beginning, she took the time to…read moreunderstand exactly what we were looking for and listened carefully to our list of must-haves.

We are so grateful for all of her hard work and highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home.

Jennifer's communication, professionalism, relentless advocacy, and genuine partnership made us feel supported and confident every step of the way, and it was clear that the Baron Elliott Luxury Group truly understands what delivering a luxury experience means.

Jen, thank you for fighting for us, celebrating with us, and helping turn our dream of homeownership into reality--we'll always be grateful.

Once I was approved, I was contacted by an individual named Florence who are very rudely questioned me about strange things like why I had two emails. That listing said the property was pet friendly., I had to do an application for my small dog that was also approved by the company she uses. Only to be told by Florence that we would have to submit to some very outlandish pet policies. I found out I am not alone in this there is a BBB review of a man discriminated against his service dog.

When I got to know the leadership of Keller Williams Peace River Partners, I found them to be very agent-centered, and the agents are well supported. Local numbers put this agency at the top in terms of activity.

I would recommend this agency to newcomers who want to duplicate a positive experience they have had elsewhere with a Keller Williams agency!

I had heard of Carla Nix and was informed that she had a reputation as a good and honest realtor…read more However, my recent experience was disappointing. We submitted A full asking price CASH offer on Saturday morning, requesting a response by 5 PM on Sunday evening. Unfortunately, Sunday evening, passed without any response, even after our realtor reached out to her at 7 PM. I forgot to mention she changed the wording on Zillow AFTER we submitted our offer. This morning, we checked Zillow and found the property marked as PENDING. I believe that a truly ethical & professional realtor would have informed our realtor of any higher offers and given us the opportunity to adjust our bid accordingly. I suppose we will find out after the sale is finalized how much it sold for and to whom. While, I'm not making accusations, the circumstances of an agreement made on a Sunday night do seem questionable.

She has an unparalleled…read morework ethic and made me feel like her most important customer over the course of the many months I worked with her, first to find a home for my out-of-town friend relocating to this area and next to find a condo for my step-son. She was relentless in her search to find us exactly what we wanted and at a price we could afford. She never ever lost her positive attitude or her sense of humor, and all the options she showed us met our criteria size-wise, location-wise, and budget-wise. She respected our decisions always, whether it was to forgo pursuing a place for reasons we couldn't know from the pictures online, or the prices we offered the sellers, etc. She is exceedingly supportive and incredibly knowledgeable about the areas of interest to us (Sarasota, Venice, Englewood, North Port, Port Charlotte, and Punta Gorda). Not a phoney-baloney bone in her body and no pushy sales tactics. Without hesitation I recommend Sherry and know she will not disappoint.
