Prior to hiring The Guardian Management Company our association was self managed. We interviewed…read moremany property management companies and found that Guardian was our best fit. The price was by far the best value and they are a small local company. When our association started using Guardian Property Management the accountant we had was less than adequate. The past few years, Julie Perdomo has been our bookkeeper and she is outstanding. She is knowledgeable to our needs, understands our association and makes excellent recommendations for our financial well being. She is easily accesible and spends time with our board when we need help. Patricia Lynn, the office manager is very helpful. She came to an association meeting to explain an item we were voting on. This is over and above her job description and we really appreciated it. She is also easy to get in touch with and always willing to spend time explaining questions we have. Mike Kumicich is our property manager. He has been with our association for about 6 years. His knowledge regarding safety and insurance needs has helped us through hurricane damage and also avoiding hurricane damage by getting ahead of the preparation. He is easily accesible to the board members and treats our association as his own.

Carlos Fernandez is, in my experience, one of the most frustrating property managers I've dealt…read morewith. It nearly always seems that he lacks follow-through on promises made to our community, and I frequently had to chase down updates or resolutions that I was told would happen. He has literally sabotage projects getting done because of his lack of understanding of the core issues and ways to handle things. He has also caused major property damage and interpersonal conflict because of his major shortcomings. This is the wrong position for him. In my opinion, he does not demonstrate a strong understanding of many HOA processes, which create unnecessary confusion and delays. Meetings and conversations often just go in circles without reaching a clear point or solution, and I rarely felt like concerns were actually being addressed. I also feel that he does not work collaboratively with homeowners or others involved in resolving community issues. My interactions with him always leave me feeling dismissed and unheard, and I ultimately have lost complete confidence in both his communication and his ability to effectively manage our community. Based on my personal experience, I would not recommend working with Carlos Fernandez or relying on him to manage an HOA. This is not isolated to my opinion nearly every single HOA member that works with him, nearly every vendor that works with him on behalf of the communities he serves, and many of the community homeowners that he interacts with have the same complaints. He is impossible to get a hold of. He doesn't understand the point and he does whatever he feels like in terms of projects. He sabotages and destroys based on his attitude and his lack of understanding. He is a detriment far beyond what he helps as far as property manager to date. This is the real truth.

My wife and I were looking for house in a golf community in Naples, but living in the Chicago area,…read morewe had no idea where to begin. So of course, I turned to the internet. I found "Naplesgolfguy" which seemed like a good place to start, so I emailed him. I was pleasantly surprised to get a prompt, professional reply, so our online conversation began. Matt quickly educated my wife and I on the Naples golf community market and the best way to navigate it. He helped us make a list of our criteria and began sending us listings. Not long after, we flew down to Naples and met Matt in a parking lot. My wife and I were immediately impressed with his approach and laid back demeanor. There was no pressure at all, and he told us up front, he's work with us to find exactly what we wanted regardless of how long it took. We spent a day and a half with him, seeing over a dozen properties. Matt is extremely knowledgeable of the market, and is adept at setting up appointments on the fly. He would always let my wife and I tour the properties by ourselves, being careful not to sway our opinions. Of course, when asked, he would offer his advice and insight. We soon had absolute confidence in him, and we really enjoyed being in his company, something I rarely say about salespeople! On our way home, at the airport, we contacted Matt to make a offer on a house. He adeptly guided us through the offer process and the next day we had a deal! Matt's attention and responsiveness didn't end there, he was a huge help all the way through closing, referring us to a lawyer, home inspector, etc., each of whom we were pleased with. Matt even did the pre-closing walk through, sending us pictures and commentary as he conducted it. Needless to say, we are extremely happy with Matt. I cannot recommendation him highly enough and seriously doubt there is a better realtor in Naples, or anywhere else. The "golf guy" is a "golf god" when it comes to finding a golf community home in Naples!

A GOLD STAR recommendation for Matt Klinowski, realtor…read more About a year ago, during a casual conversation with a golfing friend about buying a home in SWFL, our friend told us about a real estate web site that was golf community driven. That web site, developed by Matt's team is called Naples Golf Guy (www.Naples GolfGuy.com). While our friend does not know Matt, he stated it is a great site to start our search. Our mission was to buy a second home in SWFL that was in a golf community. From that point, we started to zero in on various communities that we know from our several years of winter renting in SWFL. We used the Naples Golf Guy web site extensively during our remote research. Our search expanded to communities we did not even know existed. The Naples Golf Guy (ie: Matt) web site is a great tool as it is sorted by city (Naples, Bonita Springs, Estero and Ft Myers), and is sorted by bundled and unbundled golf communities. Full explanation for each type of golf community is explained and then the specifics of each individual golf community is detailed. Costs of communities are also listed (initiation fees, HOA fees, taxes, etc). When we got closer to our next winter in SWFL, we contacted Matt by telephone (we are from OHIO - - OH.....IO) about a month before we travelled South to the house we rented for that year. Matt asked specific questions on what type of home (House, Condominium, Veranda home, Carriage home or Coach home) we envisioned. He gave definitive differences in the five home styles. We then discussed what amenities in a community we were looking for. We then discussed what our weekly golfing vision were to match that with various community courses. Next, we discussed SWFL location areas. And finally, what price point range was appropriate. All of the above paragraph details were part of the all encompassing education offered by Matt.  I utilized a phrase during this time:  buying real estate property as an EDUCATED BUYER brings comfort to the buyer (ie: for us) side of the transaction. After these discussions, Matt went to work on our behalf. He gave a link to 12 to 15 "For Sale" homes for our review. We whittled the list down to 7 for site visits. During the site visits, Matt would give us a a hard copy of the MLS listing and a brief verbal synopsis. Upon entering the home, Matt would go to the Lanai and let us tour the home unaccompanied. A recap discussion/question period would follow the tour.  All LOW PRESSURE discussions - like having a discussion with a friend. After we selected a home site for a purchase offer, Matt's SKILLS SHINED even more. We had a competitive bid situation that Matt guided us through effortlessly. His feedback, market knowledge, knowledge of our vision all came through during this time. Our bid on the Coach Home was accepted. After the home inspection, Matt negotiated a repair credit to be applied to the closing transaction. And then....... Matt has a full list of SWFL repair contractors and tradesman for our use on our new home, if we ever need something completed.   WOW..... Our home purchase closing closed on time! Matt was always........  listening, courteous, conscientious and our advocate to make sure our needs were met. If needed, he was also tenacious looking out for our best interests. Matt is....... hardworking, honest and trustworthy Matt is A GREAT REAL ESTATE AGENT. We are THRILLED to recommend Matt Klinowski as a real estate agent. GREAT JOB MATT........ And Thank You.   We are now SWFL home owners. Kerry and Bonnie May . .
