Steven is an amazing realtor. My wife and I reached out to him and let him know what our wish list…read morewas and the area we wanted to live in. We told him some homes we were interested in and he brought other great candidates -- he took us through all of them, but we just could not find something in our budget. My wife and I thought we would have to wait a few months until something else came in the market, but maybe a week or two went by and Steven found a new build that was almost completed -- it was not even listed on any of the big websites (Zillow, etc.). He negotiated our home at our budget and even got the closing costs to be COMPLETELY covered -- we were actually paid a large sum of money at closing when we got the home with NO money out of pocket. This man was on top of everything -- he was an amazing asset to this process. My wife and I felt confident and well informed. In the midst of the home buying process, my wife had our first baby and Steven sent us a card and gift card for our baby -- he didn't need to do that, but he is is a good man. He even gave us a custom made house warming gift that we absolutely love! If you want a great realtor who will do the hard work and help you get what you want, Steven is the man. He is on your side and will make sure you are well taken care of. We are absolutely going back to him in the future, assuming we stay in the greater Orlando area.

For those that don't know, 407 is a sister company to Central Florida Property Management, which is…read moreanother fantastic firm. Both are headed up by Steve Simpson, but I will focus my discussion on my realtor, Peggy, whom was fantastic throughout the process of selling my rental property. Offering a wealth of knowledge and skill, she did a fantastic job of diligently working with me to explain every step of the way, without being overbearing or pressuring me. She advised me on the best time to sell my property, kept me apprised of the costs throughout the process (effectively my biggest concern), discarded offers that were unreasonably low and not worth my time, and persistent for a good 3 months before we finally found a buyer at a price point that hit about 90% of my criteria. Thanks to 407 and Peggy's hard work, we were able to be alleviated of the credit burden an unwanted investment property brings and we left the sale with enough money to put towards a home that's just for us! I would strongly recommend them if you are either in the market for a highly competent property manager or a seller's agent.

I cannot recommend her enough! As a first-time homebuyer, the entire process can feel overwhelming…read moreand stressful, but she made everything so much easier for me. She was incredibly patient with me throughout the entire journey and took the time to explain everything, answer my questions, and make sure I felt comfortable with every step. She is extremely knowledgeable and truly listened to exactly what I was looking for. Instead of wasting time showing me homes that didn't fit my needs, she narrowed down the search based on what was important to me, and ultimately helped me find exactly what I needed. What I appreciated most was how supported and guided I felt throughout the process. Buying your first home is a huge decision, and having someone like Jacqueline by your side makes such a difference. She made a stressful process feel exciting and manageable. I would 100% recommend

I will not be able to recommend this management company to anyone in the future…read more I engaged Peggy for tenant placement services based on a referral from my agent, who assisted me in purchasing my first investment property in Orlando, as I reside out of state. My unit remained vacant for three months without a tenant or any discernible progress. My calls went unanswered, and I had to repeatedly contact her via text messages, to which she would typically respond two days later. When I brought my concerns to upper management, she attempted to rectify the situation, but unfortunately, it was beyond repair. Ultimately, I had to terminate the agreement. I then engaged a management company that proved to be exceptionally proactive and communicative. They successfully identified a new tenant within a week, and the tenant moved in the following week. It is truly regrettable to operate and work in such circumstances when one cannot conduct business professionally. I have unfortunately expended my time and resources by placing my trust in a central Florida management company that proved to be untrustworthy.

Under the (CRFA) CONSUMERS AFFAIR FAIRNESS ACT OF 2016, I'm going to post a review of my honest…read moreexperience with THE CARVAJAL GROUP located in Avalon Park from roughly May of 2021 till June of this year. The Consumer Review Fairness Act (CRFA) signed by former President Obama, protects people's ability to share their honest opinions about a business's products, services, or conduct, in any forum, including social media. My mother and I hired The Carvajal Group/VIP Home Rentals LLC in 2021 to get a tenant for my 84-year-old mother's property. They got us a renter, and 4 1/2 months later, they wanted out of the lease to buy a house. I immediately called Jim and let him know what was going on, and he didn't say anything that he was in the process of selling or getting into the process of selling them that house. the following month in November Two of the three tenants closed on a house that jim and and Deena sold them. but again jim stayed quiet and did not say a word to us about this transaction. Ten weeks later, two of the three tenants abandoned our rental, and the other called in to say they could not afford the rental anymore. We called Jim again and explained what we were going through with the tenants, and again Jim stayed quiet and kept it a secret that he and his wife had sold the tenants a new investment home. Because of the lack of transparency from (Jim and Deena) Brokers at The Carvajal Group, my mother thought that the tenants were really going through a hardship. But 2 out of the 3 tenants had enough money to purchase a $391,000 new town home for investment from Jim and Deena. Jim and Deena made under $24,000 in commission based on the normal 6% commission rate. Since they where the listing agent and dealt directly with the tenants one on one. In addition, since me and my mom was not made aware of this transaction, that the tenants had purchased a rental investment property with renters from Jim and Deena, she or we went ahead and forgave the tenants @ $2500.00 worth of damage and penalties. They only paid us a part of the full amount since we credited as mentioned above about $2500.00. Three months later, the tenant called me about an issue regarding a rental property she had purchased. After my conversation with her, I was intrigued to know who had sold them that property. I searched and I was disappointed to find out it was The Carvajal Group and very upset that they kept it quiet and secret all along, even after contacting them in October about the tenants intentions to break the lease and buy a new home.. I contacted Jim very upset about what had transpired and he denies any wrongdoing whatsoever for his lack of transparency, honesty and integrity in what we believe should have been brought up to our attention. This was his response: "Good morning George, the response was already given on the original thread." As I mentioned before, we've done nothing wrong. My 84-year old mother was affected by this because of all this. Jim will not say why he and his wife keep this all a secret. Why did they not look out for my 84-year old mother's best interests, who was their client as well? if we wouldn't have listed the house for rental with the carvajal group, they probably wouldn't of had this great opportunity to sell the tenants a $391.000 Investment property without another realtor involved. It was thru our rental that was in excellent shape that got the attention of the tenants. The least thing Jim and Deena could have done is let us know what was transpiring underneath our noses. All he to do is just let us know. We were not going to get involved what so ever in the sale. But we believe if 2 out of the 3 tenants responsible for the rental where able to buy a $391,000 house from The Carvajal Group, then they could have afforded to pay all damages of the lease with us. Why did they (The Carvajal Group)(VIP Rental Homes keep it hush hush? They won't tell us why they kept quiet and they won't offer for my 84 year old mother anything to make up for what happened or for the money she lost for their lack of transparency on this whole ordeal.. After an 11 year old friendship we have decided that we will "NEVER" again hire or recommend The Carvajal Group or VIP Rental Homes LLC. This has really been a very regretful experience...

Do you want to guess what's going on with your home sale or purchase? Have to constantly ask…read morequestions because your realtor (and an entire team) won't proactively communicate with you? Want to sit there every night and wonder if you are actually getting proper representation? Then maybe these folks are the right realty agency for you! It's sad. We interviewed 3 realtors and felt really good about hiring Carvajal. But, they are merely reactive rather than proactive agents. Extremely passive. It saddens me to have to put this in writing, but I feel this needs to be pointed out to potential customers. Mind you, right down to the closing, I had to text the agents to find out what was happening! Every day was a new day to ask "What the h*ll is going on?" Right up to the closing - Did the buyers' walk-through go OK - I had to ask since no one said anything of course? We didn't know, they never said. The next day, closing day, I finally had to text and ask is everything going forward??? Why should we be proactively be informed about that, right? Yes they said and also promised to "follow up" with the title company "shortly after" the 2 p.m. close where the buyers were signing (that was at 11:53 a.m. today). No word back of course - 2 p.m. came and went and so at 4:53 p.m. I had to yet again text and ask if everything was done or not. "Yes everything is completed," was the reply. It's like slowly, painfully pulling teeth. I WOULD NOT WISH THIS TYPE OF SERVICE ON ANY ONE. Particularly given how stressful selling a home and buying a home are - in fact we fired them from the buying transaction that were sort of working on with similar enthusiasm a month ago. That's how bad things were. In short, I CANNOT (and will never) recommend The Carvajal Group. Again, it's so unfortunate, but they were paid good money for what I see as disservice. As some proof, I'm attaching a picture of today's communication I referenced.
