I believe that Icon Realty was involved in hacking my bank account. I leased an apartment in the heart of las olas/Fort Lauderdale from December 2016, from Atlantic loft llc. I agreed to pay a 2 month security deposit of $2400 as well as first, last and security (pretty standard) got my key, etcétera. After 2 different companies handling our property, ICON Realty came in January 2020 and revamped property by implementing a ***online payment service ***** aka , a way to get into your bank account. I questioned who this is and why I had to use this system to pay, not only to be replied with "It is our new system and you have to use it, you must pay rent this way or consult your attorney" As I went ahead and used it but decided to not renew my upcoming ending lease of 3/30/20. I emailed, texted and explain that I would not be renewing the lease because not only I don't trust the payment system, I had a very difficult time communicating with Benjamin (who by the way runs the whole thing). He ignored all my calls and the ones he replied, he did very rudely. I promptly moved out on schedule and handed him the keys along with my original lease agreement. He took the keys and said that He did not have a refund and I would need to wait 30 days to receive one on the mail. Now 30 days later. My bank account has been HACKED and bank investigated the multiple charges leading back to that January rent payment. I have been getting random withdrawals from different wiring entities totaling over 1k so far. Due to covid19, I can not yet file a claim in court. And the reason I am writing this is to WARN tenants and landlords about companies like this! I am attaching the refund check I just received. What a joke! See you in court.

I am an out-of-town investor from California with 5 properties in Miami Beach. They are small…read morecondominiums that I bought around 2015, and until early 2018 they have caused me nothing but trouble: I was trying to be cheap, and rather than having these units managed professionally, I asked a local friend to take care of renting out these units. That turned out to be a serious mistake. In one unit I ended up with renters who not only repeatedly failed to pay rent, but in addition also destroyed parts of the unit. That caused me significant losses, whereas the other units were barely profitable, mainly because of vacancy. I was not particularly excited about getting a management company involved, but since I had no plan B, and the neighbors recommended JMK a local Miami Beach management company, I thought I would give it a try. The highest priority was (a) to get my destroyed unit restored, and (b) to find decent tenants for the other 4. All of this needed to be done without me being directly involved (I live in California). The only constraints I provided were a budget and a timeline. This is how it went: JMK found the contractors, picked the materials, and had the unit restored. The work was completed a few days ahead of schedule. I never actually saw the work, but since the tenants that are currently in the unit appear to be happy, I assume that it was properly done. JMK was responsible for identifying these tenants. It looks like they know what they are doing: not only did the unit get rented out just a few days after the repair work was completed, but in addition JMK was able to get a rent that also covers the additional expenses for the professional management. In conclusion, this was a very positive experience. My units were finally a profitable investment, and in addition, I no longer have to be involved at all. That's what I was hoping for. Chances are that I will soon purchase a multifamily there since prices in Florida are much more affordable than here. I'll update the review, based on how that goes...

I've learned over the years how to identify quality in a property manager and real estate service,…read moreand Florida Property Management Services LLC is the highest calibre in these respects. Let me speak to their property management service in South Florida, specifically. I own properties in Boca Raton, Florida and Kaneohe, Hawaii and over the last decade I've experienced a wide spectrum of property managers. It took me several years to learn what makes a great property manager, and it took my entrusting the care of my Boca property to Florida Property Management Services LLC to experience first-hand truly outstanding property management service (In Hawaii, Belinda Barnes of Hawaii Homes for Sale LLC is also outstanding). Simply put: I never worry about my house in Boca Raton because Florida Property Management Services is always multiple steps ahead of any contingency that could affect the property. For example, when Hurricane Ida was tentatively forecasted to impact South Florida, Gaston and Rebeca personally went to my property the week beforehand to inspect that the hurricane shutters were in place and ready for the storm. They noticed that one of the new shutters didn't fit like it should and personally oversaw it's repair before the storm in order to protect my property. In another example, prior to putting my house on the rental market, Gaston conducted a thorough property valuation and rental assessment from which he discerned the best price-point to attract prospective tenants and get the house rented as soon as possible; Gaston didn't just pick a number to appease me or leave me in a situation where my house was over or underappreciated, he did the analysis and presented me a studied price-point backed by data that got my property rented quickly. These are just a couple examples of this company that set them apart from other management services. In total, though, every interaction I've had with Florida Property Management Services has been outstanding. From executing meticulous inspections to managing upkeep services and maintenance repairs that sustain the value and rentability of my property to finding trustworthy tenants and developing a long-standing professional rapport with them, Florida Property Management Services LLC does it all, and, importantly, does it all very well. I can't overstate the peace-of-mind I have having entrusted Gaston and Rebeca of Florida Property Management Services to manage my property. I mentioned before that I've experienced a range of property managers over the years. To be candid, an inexperienced, incompetent or, yes, unfortunately, lazy property manager can end up costing tens of thousands of dollars in lost income and other fees, and that doesn't account for the stressors associated with replacing these individuals. Rebeca and Gaston are on the opposite end of this spectrum and have cared for and protected my investment as if it were their own. Make no mistake, Florida Property Management Services LLC is the top-shelf in property management; the 5 Stars is not hyperbolic, I am incredibly grateful they are managing my property. Erin K.

Now in 2012 they start to work on just two audits. (2010, 2011) We also find out, there is missing money in escrow account. Possible explanation; manager managed a very good relationship with our board president (investor - her family owned few units in our building).So nobody investigated why! Management address is a mailing address for our condominium. But!!! If you send a letter with questions there, they answered, you should contact some board member. (And board members answer, you should contact a management again) Management is a CMP professional, board members are not. So it is easy, especially if you have board president as a partner, to hire only YOUR contractors. Finally this manager violated F.S. conducting a board meeting with only 3 members present and even voting per phone at this meeting without loud speakers. Next to this, the manager is rude and sometimes he threat people, if they doesn't like his decision.
