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 went to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (Department of Homeland) to get my global entry…read moredone. For those of you who don't know much about global entry: when your coming from traveling aboard, the part where you get stuck with long lines in customs etc. In Miami airport, it's usually a nightmare. Those 1-2 hours I want back in my life because I hate lines and waiting. Well I'm glad they have this global entry section. Once you get global entry approved your also pre TSA approved. No more taking off shoes, belts etc. The cost of global entry process is $100 but your global entry card is valid for 5 years. You apply for it online and then you are set up with a in person interview. For the interview you need to take your drivers license and passport. They will ask you a few personal questions regarding your : travels, age, occupation, if you have been arrested etc. This interview was painless and took less than 10 minutes. They take your photo and finger printing. And send your card afterwards in about a week or so. I would recommend getting global entry done to all travelers who love to travel at least once a year. It's seems like the hassle free way of traveling. Safe travels.~

I was looking for a commercial real estate property manager to oversee 4 properties, which were an…read moreunusual combination of standard commercial real estate, an occupied 10 unit apartment building with frequently changing tenants ranging from excellent to difficult, a high value multi tenant property on an important, anchor street in Fort Lauderdale and a multi tenant warehouse. Virtually every type of property under the South Florida sun. I did not want a real estate agent or real estate service, I wanted a professional property manager. I researched a number of choices, including Berger Commercial; Mid Guard; CBRE; Grubb & Ellis; Colliers; and others but I was looking for one person not various specialists, who would care for my properties like they were the owner, and one name kept coming up, Fitzgerald Property Management and specifically Shelby Smith, the division manager. I hired them. We have been working together for some time now and I have been very happy with the service. In particular Shelby's deep ties to the area have saved me expenses because he knows EVERYBODY, attends city meetings, has a great network of repair and service referrers and everybody likes him so they work extra hard for me. I have so far received proper maintenance and fair pricing. Calls are returned immediately, and it's always clear that what they bring to the arrangement is knowledge and expertise, not a small thing when such a broad base of management is required. I waited to write this until I was certain they were as good as I was hoping they are but it's safe to say now that dealings with Fitzgerald Property Management and Shelby Smith will be managed with respect and no surprises.

They know exactly what they are doing and they are highly manipulative and will take no time at all gaslighting you.

Do not take their "word" for anything. I feel sorry for anyone stuck in a lease with them.

Unethical Dishonest Real Estate Agent Who Brings the Drama…read more Mike represents our old landlord as the landlord is trying to sell/rent Port Condominiums unit 1208 which I lived in. Mike is an unethical jerk who made our lives a living hell while living there. Mike used to be on the board of the Port Condominiums and he has a terrible reputation among residents for being dishonest to put it mildly. I am not sure why my landlord hired him. Consistent with mike's slime-ball reputation, from the moment we first interacted with him, he told a big fat lie that we were required to sign a new lease (our old landlord sold the property, therefore the new landlord assumed obligations of old lease). The only plausible explanation mike would state this is because he would benefit from a commission. We requested an additional month to stay as our new home was being remodeled and Mike told us that he had a new tenant that was moving in right away so we had to get out ASAP. However, Port management said no one was moving into our unit immediately after us moving out--another lie told by Mike. Also the unit is currently still on the market, so the proof is in the pudding. Moreover once we were moving out, Mike tried to charge us a bunch of fees that were absurd. He is a real estate agent and should know what is and isn't legal. First he tried to charge us "overstaying" fees because we couldn't accommodate when he wanted to do a walk through. He also tried to make ridiculous charges from our security deposit. See screenshots included. A lot of these items are normal wear and tear, and the unit is old as hell so not sure why anyone would paint a metal washer dryer that is probably 10+ years old? He falsely tried to convey that we treated the apartment like a frat house--which is blatantly false. I took timestamped photos like a lawyer upon move out because I knew that he would bring the drama.
