I highly recommend Jean Eckman to anyone looking for a rental in Highlands County.

As residents of and long-time sales agents for properties in the community, their local expertise and reputation assisted us in selling our home (and much of its contents) relatively quickly and at a more than fair price. When some minor issues were identified during the inspection, they quickly arranged for a professional and reasonable handyman to effect necessary repairs. I particularly appreciated their quick response to my many phone calls and texts throughout the process. Thanks, Wendy and Dennis!

Once a year I return to Florida to visit the possibilities of a seasonal residence. The encounters…read moreat Advantage Realty #1 continue to be uplifting and positive, from the warm reception team to the realtors and broker Greg Karlson, the most humble and savvy broker of a large agency I have ever met. The atmosphere is busy but friendly. I have never felt I was not welcome just because I didn't purchase/lease anything. They all make me feel like family. No wonder they have such successful agents and agents in training. This is why they are my #1 choice in Florida real estate!!!

Scam and they did not give me my security deposit back because of dirty apartment. We cleaned…read morethoroughly and I have proof in the video. also the realtor did not repair the sink which caused it to leak thereby damaging the kitchen sink floor, she told me that if I don't repair the kitchen sink floor, she would take it out of my security deposit. so I fixed the kitchen sink floor and paid $250 to the one to fixed it. in the end she kept the deposit still and she made it hard for me to receive the letter that she is taking the deposit.

I waited almost 8 months to write this and multiple attempts to have resolved. Closed remote and…read moredrove 25hrs. Walked into a home that was a mess. Place wasn't cleaned. Windows had bugs all over them. Dirt on the floors. Carpets a mess. Relator was made aware of issues. Mini split not working. And told would be fixed and still hadn't been as of this post. Never got keys for property( who doesn't give new owners the keys). Hole in front outside wall with cane toads living in it. Inside wall corner ruined. Floor broken and catches you walking down hall. Floor scratched bad. Transitions not glued down. Tile broken in master shower. Gutter never fixed. Pool timer didn't work (pool Girl told them) pool light controller not attached to transformer. Transformer open to elements and rusted. Electrical panel with burnt wires, was told electrical and plumbing were updated in 2019. No electrical box for outside lights. No cover for stove outlet. Water lines never sealed, they just cut the cabinet, opened the door and cockroaches were coming out the wall where they didn't seal. Garage door smashed in on lower panel. Told windows were under warranty and hurricane rated. Found out there is no warranty and they are basic contractor grade after hurricane milton rolled through here. Cable lines run along the roof. We were told the issues would be fixed/addressed. And after asking over and over. Nothing. Always told." I will contact T j Wohl". And never a resolution to the problems. We paid what they wanted. Didn't ask for a lower cost. And paid more than we should have. She took her commission and he took the profits and laughed knowing he wasn't going to address the issues promised In the contract. Sad part. He's an attorney. And the two are friends. Make sure everything you agree to is addressed before closing. She was our eyes here. And allowed the closing as we took her word that it had all been addressed. Even the inspector left major things out. Worse buying experience in my life. If we could of walked away upon entering the property. We would have.
