We moved to Navarre 2 years ago from Delaware thanks to Davis and Decker. Our experience with them has been by far the best. We have now moved yet again and fortunate to find another rental place with Davis and Decker and we could not be happier. We have seen some bad reviews and it is sad to see them getting reviews like that when they are at the mercy of the actual property owners. Customer service is amazing! They are fast to respond, friendly and understanding. Our move out check list was very clear and they are detailed . If you are able to maintain a nice clean home then you will not have a problem with the move out check list. If you are moving to Navarre or surrounding area, have good credit and are a clean respectful and responsible person. I highly recommend D&D. read more

You never really get first in line. If another place comes and you in 3rd you don't get. Chance to do dibs at the other and be first you now behind how many people again on both sides. They also don't tell you the truth about helping you. They knew my identity theft information right away and I had all documents and they said along as I had proof from government they could help. Bit they dragged me along. Continued to he dishonest. read more

I am so disappointed in this company. If you're a tenant, rent from them because they won't hold you accountable for ANY damages you make. They'll chalk it up to "normal wear and tear." As a landlord, they allowed my tenants to ruin glass French doors (the GLASS part had severe scratches like a bear lived there). I had asked them to pursue actions to repair/replace the door, as those scratches did not exist beforehand, and their response (AFTER ADMITTING IT WOULD COST THE PREVIOUS TENANT A LOT OF MONEY) was: "because pets have been allowed in the home for the past 4 years, this will be considered accumulation of normal wear with pets." Landlords, STAY AWAY if you care at all about your property! read more

My husband and I were tenants at a property managed thru Davis and Decker for almost 2 years. They were always helpful and responded quickly to any maintenance requests, course we tried to stay on top of minor fixes ourselves but for example, our A/C unit sprung a leak and was close to busting thru the wood floor in the closet when it was found. I placed a maintenance request and also called to inform them what had happened and they had a repair crew out the very next morning (poor guys, it was close to 90' in the house by the time that 5 hour repair was done, yay FL summers!) but D&D reacted quickly so there was no further damage to the unit and the home itself. We had to break our lease early due to a job relocation and D&D were fantastic about that. We had originally signed a 2 year lease and had to break it about 4 months early, D&D informed us that we'd have to pay rent/utilities until either a) a new tenant was found or b) the lease was up. They had a new tenant lined up before we moved out which made our budget that much easier and they also helped us out by writing a letter of good standing for our new landlords in reference to our dogs. The staff that work at D&D were all wonderful ladies and I enjoyed going in there and paying my rent every month - yes I could have used the portal to pay, but I preferred handing a check over (bad experience from the past) and every time I or my husband were in there, we'd chat for a good while because that's how friendly they are. The homes are very well maintained that are managed by D&D, as they do 6 month inspections as to make sure the tenant isn't being scummy and destroying the home. They were always on time and never found an issue. They were very open with communications with when they'd be coming over for those inspections or when it was time prime the pumps or if there was a hurricane approaching, making sure we were prepared for what could happen. We enjoyed our experience with D&D, they were our first "rental agency" as we've always rented from private owners, and we were VERY happy with the service they provided. read more

We moved here from the Seattle, WA area, and wanted to rent before we bought. We found a beautiful home for rent on a huge lot that allowed our pets. Moving across the country was stressful enough, even though it was something we really to do, but D&D made it so easy - we were able to do everything online from up there- pay the deposits, sign the lease, and they were so quick to answer my emails. I had lots of questions! One of the things I really appreciated about renting with them was how they kept in regular contact to remind us when it was time to drain the sprinklers and any other important things like when the weather was going to freeze to keep the water dripping, etc. I know most people know that but it's still good to have the reminders because it helps us as renters avoid costly repairs that we would be responsible for. Fast forward to February- we bought a house, so we moved out. What I thought was truly amazing about this was that not only did they give us a checklist clearly outlining everything that would be required to get your deposit back, they also contacted me after they inspected it to let me know about a couple of items I missed, and then gave us the option to go back and take care of those things (I am not sure if they always allow this but it was greatly appreciated). We did receive our full deposit back, including the pet deposit. I am pretty sure I have never ever received my deposit back in the past no matter how clean and perfect I left things- most places seem to always find a reason to keep the deposit. Something else that was a complete surprise was that we broke our lease early because we bought a house. I do not recommend doing this - but I had read in my lease terms that if you break your lease, you will be required to continue to pay rent until the lease is up or it gets rented. We felt pretty confident that it would get rented, and it thankfully did. They were kind enough to let us know that it had, so we weren't stressed out wondering about that! Sorry for the long review, but they were truly the best rental company I have ever dealt with, and I wanted to give credit where credit is due! read more

Judy and Davis & Decker are the Best! and I highly recommend them. Great property managers, by far the best out of the 7 I have. I was there in the beginning 1999 when Judy, realtor and military wife, helped her neighbor, me:), a young Air Force Captain who had bought a house expecting to be in the area for 3-5 years and unexpectedly moved in less than 2. She offered to find a renter, that covered my mortgage, and manage my house as a rental when I was in a position that if I would have sold the house it would have been at a large loss due to large amounts of new construction in the area, she found the renter within days and has had the highest occupancy rate of all my rentals, vacant only a couple of months over the past 18 years:) She created and managed my first property and made me feel comfortable and confident in being a rental property owner. Over the past 18 years she instilled that "we are helping our neighbors", "we will do our best" and "we are held accountable" attitude in all her employees. They treat the property like it is their own and make recommendations for preventative maintenance to maintain the condition of the house, this both keeps the value of the house and provides a nice house for renters. They take care of everything and keep me updated, and monthly statements and year end tax statements are available on their portal which makes doing taxes and having visibility for budgeting really easy. When a repair is needed they research the options and provide a range of time and cost solutions, which is important to property owners who have to consider their funds available when making repair decisions. Over the years I met some of my renters and they were happy with the house and management. I have always had the position of maintaining my rentals to the same level I would if I lived in the house and I have told this to the property managers, but funds available or owner position may maintain the property at the legal level, the property manager does not control the level of maintenance above the legal level this is an owner decision. Judy does advise owners to maintain their houses at high levels in order to attract good renters. Based on my experience for 18 years I highly recommend Davis & Decker for both renters and property owners. read more

They were reasonable getting a rental and such, but withheld over $600 of our deposit for cleaning and repainting and other miscellaneous things. There was no damage or wear and tear on the property. The biggest portion was charging us over $300 for a cleaning fee when we left it clean. Would never recommend renting from. read more

The worst experience in our lifes! We are home owners here in HBTS. We left for 3 years and when we came back to Navarre our house still occupied by renters so we look for a house in the same HBTS Subdivision. Too bad we decided to go with D & D Judy who we never met until it was time to move out. She is a bully, very aggressive personality, she try to keep our deposit and charge us for things that make non sense. We did a beautiful landscaping in this horrible front yard and paint the all house a neutral color instead of the green, red, blue and yellow pallette around the house with their permission and even with all that she was a nightmare! Don't rent with them.Be aware! They have a bad reputation here in Navarre and Gulf Breeze. read more

We started with this place first with our Rental and then with our first home purchase!! Amazing from start to finish. Janet was the best and got back to us in a timely manner and answered my Hubby's 101 questions!! Thank you again Janet and Davis & Decker!! read more

Davis & Decker Property Management has been my property manager since 2001 and have done an outstanding job! Awesome people doing an awesome job! read more

I have rented through Davis and Decker for two years and have been very impressed. They have handled every request within a more than timely manner and always been professional and courteous. I have three small children and when my air went out after 11pm I placed on online request, not expecting an answer till the morning, and was replied to that night and a/c repair at my home by 9am the next morning. Highly recommend them for any realty needs. read more

Well I have mixed reviews for this company. While a client, the property was well maintained and communication went well. The only major drawback is that they did not use ACH so you have to take a check there in person or mail it every month. However, on move-out there were several issues. Appointments were made for walk-thoughs, showings etc and the realtor was at least 15 minutes late twice. I sent in a call to ensure that they had all of my paperwork and my call was not returned. I had to call the next week. Then when it came time to receive my deposit back I got 2 different stories on when payment would be made. In addition, I had to get a copy of my original check from the bank and take it to them because they had not recorded my payment properly. Overall the process of renting from them was good but the last few weeks of transition was kind of a nightmare! read more

During tenancy management company was ok and fixed necessary issues in a timely fashion. Unfortunately after moving out and spending much time and money to clean and repair the house and yard beyond the condition it was received in, this company kept 75% of our deposit. The charges are bogus because the damages and lack thrre of cleanliness reported as our fault was noted and accepted on a move in sheet by this company afteroving in. Sad people have to lie to earn money. read more

Davis and Decker Property Management is HORRIBLE. I cannot stress this enough. We rented from them for two years, and the first year we didn't really have any issues with them, but the second year was horrible. They will charge you fees left and right, and even though they spelled my email wrong and were sending emails to the wrong person and so I was never aware of a fee they charged they threatened to evict me over $15. You can imagine my surprise when I received that notice without ever even being aware that I owed them anything. After countless emails back and fourth with Judy Decker, not only was she unprofessional, rude, arrogant, and didn't use spell check, but she never even corrected my email address on file and refused to admit she was wrong and still blamed us. Even after moving out they are still refusing to give us our security deposit back and made up bogus claims to keep it. I wish someone had told me what a crooked company they were before we ever rented from them. I recommend that you avoid them at all costs. read more
