If everyone knew about the dynamics and the family behind Richard Jennette they would seriously consider not dealing with them. Ask about Richard Smotriski his nephew and Kayla. I am surprised Jennette is still in business. They actually did a good job of being ahead of the curve. My experience with them was from 2010 to 2014. I worked for Quality Counts. Sad part of this is. Those individuals did not care about the clients. It was well played and they made millions. cheers on that note. as an insider perspective, they are very evil and I participated in taking advantage of clients through Jennette Properties along with them. I needed to get this off of my chest. We took advantage of every opportunity to do just enough. I give it to them. I learned how to hustle as a worker for them. read more

Had an excellent experience with Jennette Properties when we recently signed a lease for an annual rental. The agent assigned was Ronda and she was very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. She was very responsive to any questions and was very good in communicating with us. The time, care and guidance she provided very much helped the leasing process go easy and smoothly. read more

Jennette Properties very good at creating a lease , prompt response. Any problems or concerns after lease was signed was quite poor. I needed to terminate my lease early. Presented agent with proposal she did not share the details with owner. Also misrepresented when she told me she was listing property. No customer service and inefficient communication. Would not recommend this rental company. read more

Second year contracting with Jennette Properties in Lakewood Ranch and both times we were provided misleading information. As a rental, treated like second class citizen and considered irrelevant with respect to golf and access to amenities. I asked very specific questions about golf and amenities the second rental season and prices that information was purposely withheld. I suggest exploring alternatives outside of Lakewood Ranch, and certainly Jennette Properties. read more

Chrissie Cummings of Jennette Properties made our first long term rental in Florida a great experience. Chrissie was very knowledgeable about the available properties, amenities included and locations. All of our rental paperwork was handled timely and accurately. Through her guidance and hard work we found exactly what we were looking for. During our stay, Chrissie, as the property manager continued to be available and very responsive to any questions or concerns. We have already booked for next year and look forward to working with Chrissie again. read more

I have worked with Jennette Properties Inc for over 8 years now. Our personal agent is Bridget Gannett, and she is extremely professional and thorough. On occasions where my renters have encountered problems with appliances, electricity, etc., Bridget gets in touch with me immediately and has a wealth of resources to solve any and all problems. I highly recommend Jennette Properties and, especially Bridget Gannett. read more

We are property owners and have excellent experience working with Bridget Gennett. Bridget has managed everything in exemplary fashion for start to finish, going above and beyond with great communication at all times. We would definitely recommend working with Bridget. read more

If you're looking for an outstanding property manager in the Sarasota and Bradenton area, then look no more! We did all the work for you! My wife and I interviewed numerous property managers, and it became very evident early in our discerning interviews that Chrissie Cummings of Jennette Properties stood out above all the others. She is dedicated and serious about her work and yet very accommodating and understanding to clients' needs. We have peace of mind knowing that Chrissie is managing our condominium at Lakewood National. Chrissie exemplifies what a property ought to be like. She is incredibly responsive, accommodating, and listens to our needs and typical concerns related to renting out our unit. She is very conscientious about screening prospective guests as if she were renting out her own property. Chrissie is like having a family member managing your property. I recommend her without reservation. read more

Jennette Properties in Sarasota, FL, specifically agent Mike Bess are a joke! They rip off elderly, fixed income moms as well as make tons of verbal affirmations in regards to monthly rent and returning deposits after the place is deemed not suitable. So instead of honoring the deposit return, as they verbally said "you will be returned your deposit if you are not happy and feel uncomfortable to move in" they instead keep it and cause our attorneys to be involved as well as soon to be subpoenaed to attend small claims court! Karma will get you all in the end and you should be ashamed for ripping off a retired US government employee of 30+ years over a dilapidated condo. Elderly exploitation folks!! Law suit will be under way! Stay clear of these thieves and their lies. read more

Absolutely one of the worse property management companies we have ever done business with! My husband and I have owned multiple properties all over and have never had such an unpleasant experience as we have had with Jeanette Properties! Very unprofessional, complete Bait & Switch operation! Would NOT EVER recommend Jeanette Properties of Sarasota to any one! read more

My husband and I purchased a condo in May 2020 at Lakewood National. The prior owners rented for a short time and used Jennette properties, so we followed suit. I contacted Kari Epp and in a month she had the peak season of 2022 (Jan, Feb and March) rented. Within another month she was able to get August-October rented with possible extension into November and December. We have only used Jennette properties for a short time but we are very pleased! read more

I have been renting out my personal home through Jennette Properties for the last three years. My first property manager either quit or was let go as I was never told what happened. I thought property managers are supposed to make renting a property easier, but not this one, the second property manager has made it way more stressful than it should be. (lack of communication, her personal life interfering with her business life, just about every problem became an emergency and turned into a bigger problem because it was not dealt with in a timely manner). My advice to anyone looking at this real estate company RUN! Run as fast as you can away from this place. read more

Rhonda is by far the best real estate agent. Her attention to detail and prompt response to any tenant issue is excellent. She has always gone above and beyond the responsibilities of a realtor. During the last hurricane she was a lifesaver and helped us get a crew in to help with our condo damage. I would not work with anyone else. I think of her as a friend. Sincerely, Desiree Gray read more

Horrible!!! I haven't received my deposit back and it's been 50 days after several emails & phone calls. The property was not ready to be occupied when we moved in, filthy, previous tenants clothing was on the floor surrounding the washer & dryer, holes in screens, stains on carpet, loose railing on stairway, recycle bin was full of items that can't be recycled at the front door when we arrived which we had to empty, cigarette butts in front & back area & beer bottle caps, numerous other repairs which we had to endure that should have been done prior to moving in. This company is in violation of Florida Law & our lease agreement. Prpperty manager is Teresa Ribado at the Fruitville office. read more

We have used Jennette Properties for many years to take care of our condo. Our problems arose 5 years ago when our original manager was no longer with them. With no communication for months, we ended up contacting them and they had no clue who was handling our property. After e-mails and few phone calls, we finally ended up with a person. They we very inefficient managing the property for cleaning and maintenance where we had to be on top of them. 2 years ago this person left and again no clue what happened and why. Same scenario happened again with phone calls and e-mail, we got another person. Now this manager was even worse and very arrogant and rude. We found out from others that they did not prepare for arrival of tenants this past spring. There was a lot of issues had to be fixed, repaired, or replaced while the tenants occupied the condo. This stuff should have been completed well before anyone used the condo. We finally ended up going down which we ask the manger to have the condo cleaned and prepared. Upon our arrival, the place was not cleaned. While doing maintenance and cleaning, we found stains & damage to furniture and carpets. In discussion with this manager, this person had no clue or answers why it happened. We ended up firing Jennette Properties read more

Very rude and unprofessional. Whenever I asked any question, the answer was condescending. Pretty much hung up on me mid-sentence saying "I really have to take this other call." Not sure what the issue here was but don't waste your time. read more

Kari Epp of Jennette Properties found our dream tenants in only a few days! She was professional, personable, patient, and a pleasure to work with. We will certainly use her expertise again in the future. read more

August 2017 I hired Jennette properties in Sarasota to find me a tenant for an annual lease. Kathy Smith was a terrible agent and didn't provide me a reasonable level of service. She didn't take the pictures right away and didn't put the rental on line when I asked . I own a villa in Sarasota and live in Canada. Two years ago I hired them to find me a tenant and they could only find me a bankrupt tenant that lasted only two months before defaulting on the rent. I thought I would give them another opportunity to redeem themselves and I was extremely disappointed again. I had a flood in my property at the end of August and it took one month to restore and repair the damage. After two months of little activity from October to December 2017 and little or no feedback from my agent, they could only find me a rental for a 7 month period. They hired several cleaners without my approval and tried to bill me additional unnecessary costs. The tenants moved into my property without me receiving any money. I requested that the first and last months rents be sent to me express post and they refused. I called my agent and emailed her several times for an update on the activity and feedback on people that saw my property and she did not return my calls. I was so fed up, I called the office manage to complain about Kathy Smith and to insist that I be send my rent immediately. They held back my money for almost a month after the tenants moved in before sending it to me. Do yourself a favor, don't hire this company to find you a purchaser or tenant. You will save yourself allot of frustration and disappointment. Marylou S read more

Worst people on the planet. We had an $11,000 a month rental on longboat key and during the spring rain the ceiling started raining in the house which stain the ceiling and caused a whole bunch of mold to start growing. This resulted in us needing to leave early from the rental. Bridget, the agent for the property management company, could've cared less. No refunds no consideration at all. In fact even though we clean the sheets and made the beds before we left they took out $180 out of our $3000 security deposit for no good reason other than a big F you at the end. If you want an overpriced, moldy house by the beach these are your guys. read more

Currently renting golf condo in Sarasota thru Jennette. We had a few initial issues with the condo when we moved in, and Lisa and Toyia were very helpful in getting them resolved quickly and completely. I highly recommend Jennette, and plan on renting again thru Jennette. read more

I should have read the reviews before working with them. The owner of the company actually tried to break into our unit during the hurricane!!! Thank God we had cameras and threatened to call the police on him. Now they hold our deposit as if you read their reviews many people say they are a scam!! I would not recommend them when there are solid companies like Michael Saunders and zillow. These people had the worst customer service where we would have no AC, Water back up, and leaks from the AC that they didn't repair and tried to charge us for it! STAY AWAY!!! read more

Jeannette is the worst property management company. Do not do business with them. Diane Hunter, specifically, is rude and unhelpful. And they'll steal your security deposit. Not good people. read more

I entrusted my condo to be managed by Jeanette Properties. My experience was terrible. This company does not deliver on its advertisement of professional property management. read more

These folks are only interested in your money nothing beyond that. They will tell you anything including leaving out critical information to the point of not disclosing fully conditions and restrictions on the property they present to you. They will give you a promise verbally then the price will suddenly change if they think you are under and pressure to proceed. I will say that they did contact me and offered a solution that was acceptable to all concerned, I think they just needed to get all of the information to the right folks so that it was obvious a resolution was in the best interest of everyone. That is a sign of good management. read more

We have had excellent service from Jennette. They are fast to respond when an issue arises or question needs to be answered. We have worked with Jennette for the past seven years. Ronda Banks is great to work with, we appreciate the effort she always gives us. JUDY&JOHN RUEGG read more

I rented thru Jennette properties for 4 mths. As a seasonal rental and therefore my rent was more expensive due to being in season. I received a call from the rental agent shortly before I was to arrive in January telling me the cleaning people upon cleaning from the last renters had encountered lots of bugs and she was "on it" & the bug problem would be taken care of; she called an exterminator. There was still lots of bugs when I arrived, some were dead and a lot were not. When I opened the kitchen cupboards bugs would fly out, the dishwasher was infested, bugs were running over the countertops, there were bugs in the upstairs bedrooms & bathrooms. I emailed the rental agent & she had the exterminator come over again; he stated it would take awhile to work itself out; he did spray again. I decided to do some additional cleaning to help to remedy the problem; I pulled the stove out...filthy and dead bugs , 1 being a cockroach. ( I have pictures)....I did a deep cleaning of the rental....I could not clean the cupboards which were filthy because of the spray the exterminator used. He said that's what would keep the bugs away. I did ask if there was another unit available; I was told there were none. I felt bugged out thru out my stay there. The bug sightings subsided about 1 and a half to 2 mths. Into my stay. And there's more: upon my arrival; I was given the incorrect lock codes to get into the gated community; had to wait for someone to leave to get in & I arrived via cab...very expensive. The pool was closed for repairs for supposedly 2 weeks; it turned into 4. I did get my security deposit back but for less then I thought I would get back. According to my contract a 2 bedroom is $195. For cleaning charges; they charged me more? I emailed the rental agent & because I was there for 4 mths. They felt they should charge more. The only cleaning that was needed when I left were washing sheets for 1 bedroom and a light cleaning thru out. If anything; I would have thought I'd be offered some type of compensation!! read more

Want to thank the companies Agent Kim Blakeney for doing such a great job in finding me a tenant for my home . Thank You KIM

I've been working with Nathan for close to two years and it has been a great experience. He works hard to bring rental opportunities and he is very accommodating when we have to use the condo. I look forward to continue working with Nathan. Eagle Creek read more

When we decided to acquire a seasonal rental in Sarasota we sought professional help. By chance we walked into Nathan Gaylord's office at Jennette Properties early in the process. It has been more than a pleasure dealing with Nathan. He is attentive, knowledgeable, persistent and gracious. He is available and responsive at all times. Any minor glitches we encountered were quickly and completely solved. Jennette Properties have an extensive inventory of rental units to choose from and their help in the search for a suitable winter property has been invaluable. We have rented directly from owners before and it is fraught with challenges. We will continue to use the services of Nathan and Jennette Properties to ensure our rental goes smoothly.
