I have been working with Alina for over 20 years. She has helped me buy, rent, and sell multiple properties. Together we went through some difficult times of real estate crash and some good times of growth and recovery. Every step of the way Alina and her team have been extremely helpful, honest, and responsive. In the last 30 days Alina sold two of my houses in Palm Coast FL, both for more money than I expected! It is something that I believe only Alina could do, especially in a tough market as it is right now in Florida. I highly recommend working with Alina on any front whether you are buying, selling, or just need somebody to manage your rental property. read more

Beware: Security Deposit Scammers!! Had I not had 10+ years as a property manager, this company would have scammed me out of most of my security deposit. I rented a duplex from VHR for 3 years. They showed me the property before it had been renovated after the previous resident moved out. There were many problems with the unit when we moved in which I made detailed notes of on my Move-In Checklist. During my time there, I made various improvements in the unit and yard. Upon vacating, the unit was spotless, the yard impeccable, and all concrete pressure washed. VHR attempted to nickel and dime me for previous problems and fraudulent accusation. It took me over 4 months to fight them on every claim they made. Bottom line: if you rent from them, make detailed notes upon move-in, take pictures of everything, submit maintenance requests for everything that's not in perfect working order to protect yourselves from these thieves. Horrible management company. read more

If only people would read their reviews. Reading is fundamental. You can see they only deal with you until they sell you a house or rent from them. I must say some of the staff is pleasant. You can forget about the owner pekarsky I've tried reaching her on multiple occasions. Her assistant Diana was nice and professional, she's gone now I believe or moved to higher position. Teresa Copland brown is in place now who refuses to answer calls or allow you to speak to anyone else but HER. Anyone mentions virtual home I say dont do it! They charged me an extra deposit fee for no explanation. I refuse to pay any more rent I literally left read more

Be very careful about renting through Virtual Homes Realty located in Palm Coast FL. We leased a home through this company. We treated the rental property like it was our own and actually added improvements to the dwelling only to have them hold back money from our security deposit. They and the property owners agreed to vacate the lease early. We spent hours (and money) filling picture hanging holes, touching up paint with paint custom blended at Lowe's, paying a professional home cleaning service etc. upon move-out. They reduced our move-out time from two weeks to four days. After we rushed to move-out to accommodate them, Virtual Homes Realty claimed $500.00 in paint touch-up expense. Their "proof" of damages consisted of an estimate (not an actual invoice of incurred expense) and a bunch of tiny thumbnail sized photos embedded into a PDF file. When I challenged the damages they were claiming and requested high resolution digital images, they threatened to charge us a default fee. We didn't default. They and their clients (the landlords) voluntarily agreed to vacate the original lease. Virtual Homes Realty started out acting nice when we first leased through them but the really turned nasty and underhanded when we requested proof of the damages they were claiming. read more

This company is disgusting. Don't ever book anything with them. Cancels reservations booked 8 months out with no notice. Extremely unprofessional. They cant even manage to take our reservation correctly and now cant even fill their end of the "contract". AVOID this disgusting company. What goes around comes around Alina. read more

I love virtual homes. Diana is professional and gets the job done. I highly recommend them

upon move out they claimed we damaged the apartment which is total untrue, we even paid to have it professionally cleaned and the company that we hired commented that they really hated taking our money due to the place being damn near spotless, they charged me 25.00 to replace the furnace filter, yet the owners furnace man came in and serviced it and changed the air filter 4/5 days before we turned over the keys, 100.00+ to clean vents, but we removed all vents and washed them when we had the cleaning company come in, 1150.00 for a paint job which was no more than $600.00, we power washed the complete house and driveway, washed all windows inside and out, the neighbors even stated it didn't look like we ever lived in the place, I would definitely tell you to stay away they will not repair anything, nor will they return calls if you have a problem, most the women that work there are nice till you move in, after that they don't have time for you till you move out and they lie threw their teeth about damage, they haven't heard the last of me, read more

We rented 60 west over for a month online and got confirmation. Alina reach us out 4 hours later and said her system had glitch she didn't charge us enough and demand more money which was red flag. We asked her that I gotta own the problem since I have nothing to do with their glitch or she is willing to work with us. She didn't seem care and no apology. She didn't take any initiative to own the problem as business owner. I would like to warn everyone that not trustworthy person and Business. Stay away. Waste of time read more

Mediocre service, we rented a condo from them without knowing that the property is under renovation. They claim that they did not know. Turns out they did know, it's posted all over the building and announced. Pool was closed when we got here. We have been informed that we needed to put the patio furniture in the living room because they are painting the building , vacation from hell. They will not return our calls read more

Do not do business with this company. Spent 10 months in a property of theirs after signing long term lease. House had pre existing issues which we spent time and money on, at move out took our deposit. Avoid at all costs. read more

I have been renting a Home in Palm Coast for $3,650 a month. My spa doesn't work the pool has not functioned properly for 2 months. We had a Propane leak when we moved in not sure that has been fixed as half the burners in the outdoor kitchen don't work. For the best part my AC has not been working properly for over a month. It's over 80 in my house right now. I put in service requests and as nice as the staff is nothing gets fixed. Now that don't respond like I am the issue for being upset. read more

I have found Alina Pekarsky to be a true professional. Her knowledge, and consistent communication made our looking for a home that much easier. She was helpful in all aspects of purchasing and leasing our house later on. I strongly recommend her for anyone who is looking for the property in Palm Coast. read more

It was a pleasure to Alina! She was incredibly helpful and accommodating throughout the entire processes. Even when we hit a few snags, Alina was responsive and understanding. She's very knowledgeable about her trade. I will surely work with her again and highly recommend Alina to anyone looking to work with a patient, honest, and savvy real estate professional. read more

Company will keep as much of your deposit as they can, we took many pictures when our neighbors told us when we were moving in that they will rip us off. I called virtual and they said oh no don't worry well the neighbors were correct so glad we took pictures before and after including the ceilings. The roofing company that redid the roof left it open during rain storm and virtual trying to keep money for the mold in walls . We have pics of water damages. Waiting for more info on rest of my deposit after that I will be filing in court if not returned and I will also post pics for you all to see read more

Virtual Homes has managed my rental property in Palm Coast for several years. I have found them to be a very professional firm. Everything is handled in a very timely manor. They provide me with pictures of my property when they do inspections. All deposits are made on time with monthly statements. They communicate with me through every step of the rental process and follow up with tenants at lease renewal time. When I have had a vacancy they have secured a new tenant in a short amount of time. read more

These people are thieves!! Check out the Better Business Bureau on them!! "BBB files show the company has a pattern of failure to respond to complaints presented by the BBB as well as a failure to eliminate the basic cause of complaints. Complaints concerns repairs and not receiving their deposit back." There are bad reviews for them every where!! Good luck getting your deposit back, as well. If you are smart, you will use someone else!!! read more

Alina helped us buy our beautiful home and it was a flawless process! We started off looking for something else, but she helped us to refine our search and we couldn't be happier with the result. read more

This lengthy review is submitted for two purposes: first, to recommend Virtual Homes Realty as a professional, efficient, and caring company; and secondly, to dispel the spurious claims of the September 2nd entry. I am the owner of the property addressed in that wholly unfair review. My family lives four hours south of Palm Coast but we were delighted when Alina Pekarsky found us such a wonderful property. I personally drove up to review all the work done on the house. Virtual Homes Realty practices and policies are transparent to clients and I can tell you first-hand that all my transactions were conducted by knowledgable professionals - with a heart! Unfortuanely we were not able to move up to Palm Coast and again, Virtual Homes Realty assuaged all our concerns about long-distance renting by offering FIVE-STAR property management. And the company delivere - exceeding our expectations at every turn. We also had a detailed video and photo gallery of the interior and exterior of the property upon completion of all work and decoration. And yes, Virtual Homes Realty has a very strict rental policy. And as we all signed the contratcs, we all knew the rules and regulations. That said, Alina Perkarsky and her team reached out to me and my family to help the gentleman who was renting our lovely home break his contract so that he may move to his own residence. As Alina Perkarsky and her team inspire confidence and trust through honest and sound business proctices, I authorized her to accomodate the man renting our home. As for the protests expressed in that September 2nd review about repairs necessary upon moving out , well... You know, we have all rented a place or two in our lifetimes. And we all know about wear and tear accrued by, well, just day-to-day living. And that's why we have to give a security deposit... The Virtual Home Team has always kept me informed about any requests for repairs or potential problems. There are no surpries and whatever fix is needed, well, they have companies who meet their high standards get on it immediately. There is always a followup with owners so that there's an electronic trail of services, maintenance, and repairs. As an owner I picked the interior and exterior paint colors. I toured the property. As I said there are no surprises with Virtual Homes Realty. The September 2nd entry is surprising as the gentleman was the first person to live in that house since we purchased it. Virtual Homes Realty has been exceptional in all our business dealings. No surprises. Five Star service. I cannot recommend this real estate agency enough. read more

We wanted to move to Florida for years and Alina and her staff helped us finally make our dream come true. She is very dedicated and gives great attention to all the details. She helped us negotiate a fair price and a smooth deal. Both she and her staff were a pleasure to work with through the whole process. read more

Our dream was to move to Florida when we retired and Alina Pekarsky made that happen. She spent a lot of time with us showing us many houses that met our requirements. She explained the pros and cons of each house and location and provided excellent advice to help us with our final selection. Her attention to detail and prompt response to questions and concerns made the process seamless. Alina's follow up after settlement made it easier for us to set up new accounts for utility services. We highly recommend Alina and her staff at Virtual Homes Realty. read more

Virtual homes sucks!!!! They are all about you until you leave their company.....they are dishonest, lie to your face, tell you something and later turn it around and deny anything that they said. Dont count on receiving a deposit after moving out because they create damages that dont exist as an excuse to keep your money. They blame everything on the owner, never themselves. read more
