I don't normally leave bad reviews; however, this situation is HAUNTING me, and I don't want to see…read morewhat happened to me happen to anyone else! To begin I have known Liz Berger for years, so I never thought that she would do anything like this to me. I am a Real Estate agent, and I have hung my license with her since the day I passed my test. I had full faith that she was the "best in the business," which SHE WILL lead you to believe, but boy was I WRONG! Not only is she a HORRIBLE and INCOMPETENT BROKER, but she is also an AWFUL AGENT. But even more importantly she is UNTRUSTWORTHY and that makes her DANGEROUS to work with. Due to Covid19 I am unable to show properties, so I sent Liz a referral, for a friend of mine, who was buying a home. Being her agent, she promised me a referral fee, and I admit I believed in her good faith and did not have a referral contract. My friend bought a home for $443,450, which closed on September 30th, 2020; Today is December 1st, 2020 and she has not paid me at all. I texted her as a gentle reminder, and she even admitted to owning me money in text messages, but now she refuses to answer. Not only did she steal from me, but she also caused many issues for her client, my friend. The property that he was purchasing came in 51k under value, 5 days before closing. Almost costing my friend an additional 51k. I was so embarrassed when he told me, because of course, I had sent him to her. Being the "best in the business" shouldn't she have done a comp report, so she knew the property was listed too high? I know I will never see any money from her, but I feel it is NECESSARY TO WARN FUTURE AGENTS AND CLIENTS OF HER UNTRUSTWORTHY ACTS. THIS WOMAN CAN NOT BE TRUSTED!!!!!! **IF YOU ARE BUYING A HOME, FIND SOMEONE WHO IS TRUSTWORTHY AND COMPETENT. IT IS THE BIGGEST PURCHASE YOU WILL MAKE IN YOUR LIFE, AND I WOULD NOT TRUST LIZ BERGER. **IF YOU ARE AN AGENT.... HEED MY WARNING. I HAVE RECENTLY FOUND OUT THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY AGENT SHE HAS STOLEN FROM, PLEASE DO NOT BE NEXT. THERE ARE PLENTY OF BROKERS OUT THERE WHO WOULD BE HAPPY TO HAVE YOU. WORK WITH SOMEONE YOU CAN TRUST.

Liz Berger is truly a consummate Real Estate Professional.

I went to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (Department of Homeland) to get my global entry…read moredone. For those of you who don't know much about global entry: when your coming from traveling aboard, the part where you get stuck with long lines in customs etc. In Miami airport, it's usually a nightmare. Those 1-2 hours I want back in my life because I hate lines and waiting. Well I'm glad they have this global entry section. Once you get global entry approved your also pre TSA approved. No more taking off shoes, belts etc. The cost of global entry process is $100 but your global entry card is valid for 5 years. You apply for it online and then you are set up with a in person interview. For the interview you need to take your drivers license and passport. They will ask you a few personal questions regarding your : travels, age, occupation, if you have been arrested etc. This interview was painless and took less than 10 minutes. They take your photo and finger printing. And send your card afterwards in about a week or so. I would recommend getting global entry done to all travelers who love to travel at least once a year. It's seems like the hassle free way of traveling. Safe travels.~

I was looking for a commercial real estate property manager to oversee 4 properties, which were an…read moreunusual combination of standard commercial real estate, an occupied 10 unit apartment building with frequently changing tenants ranging from excellent to difficult, a high value multi tenant property on an important, anchor street in Fort Lauderdale and a multi tenant warehouse. Virtually every type of property under the South Florida sun. I did not want a real estate agent or real estate service, I wanted a professional property manager. I researched a number of choices, including Berger Commercial; Mid Guard; CBRE; Grubb & Ellis; Colliers; and others but I was looking for one person not various specialists, who would care for my properties like they were the owner, and one name kept coming up, Fitzgerald Property Management and specifically Shelby Smith, the division manager. I hired them. We have been working together for some time now and I have been very happy with the service. In particular Shelby's deep ties to the area have saved me expenses because he knows EVERYBODY, attends city meetings, has a great network of repair and service referrers and everybody likes him so they work extra hard for me. I have so far received proper maintenance and fair pricing. Calls are returned immediately, and it's always clear that what they bring to the arrangement is knowledge and expertise, not a small thing when such a broad base of management is required. I waited to write this until I was certain they were as good as I was hoping they are but it's safe to say now that dealings with Fitzgerald Property Management and Shelby Smith will be managed with respect and no surprises.

I was getting a heart attack watching the sloppy work to the point where i had to tell them to just stop, they spent 5 hours doing nothing, did not complete the simple job and charged me $350 for the time spent and ultimately set me back farther than before allowing them to do the job

He was contacted IMMEDIATELY and was promptly shown many different options that were definitely tailored to his taste. Sadly his business venture fell through and he never relocated to the area. Because of their personal touch, when I relocated, I asked on a whim if they also assisted in finding homes to lease. I was immediately sent MANY MANY options (WAY more than I anticipated!!). The agents here are VERY personable and I will continue to call on them and to refer them....even if you are looking outside of S Florida, they have many relationships in other states as well! You can't go wrong!

Therefore, I knew I needed a property management company to handle those unique set of challenges in my absence. I had researched many properties management companies online in the Fort Lauderdale area. I happened to come across Icon Realty Management and Brokerage. After reading the great reviews and my conversation with Ben and finally meeting him at the property. I decided to have them manage my property. Within 2 days of Icon Realty having the property in their listings, it was rented on day 2 (two). Ben, At Icon Realty has truly been professional and responsive thought the whole process. I highly recommend Ben from Icon Management for anyone looking for a Management and Brokerage firm. DM Celebration, FL

I waited 30 Days to post this review to give Benjamin the benefit of the doubt, to give him a…read morechance to prove his word as a property management company but here is the proof that he is a SCAM artist. I believe that Icon Realty was involved in hacking my bank account. I leased an apartment in the heart of las olas/Fort Lauderdale from December 2016, from Atlantic loft llc. I agreed to pay a 2 month security deposit of $2400 as well as first, last and security (pretty standard) got my key, etcétera. After 2 different companies handling our property, ICON Realty came in January 2020 and revamped property by implementing a ***online payment service ***** aka , a way to get into your bank account. I questioned who this is and why I had to use this system to pay, not only to be replied with "It is our new system and you have to use it, you must pay rent this way or consult your attorney" As I went ahead and used it but decided to not renew my upcoming ending lease of 3/30/20. I emailed, texted and explain that I would not be renewing the lease because not only I don't trust the payment system, I had a very difficult time communicating with Benjamin (who by the way runs the whole thing). He ignored all my calls and the ones he replied, he did very rudely. I promptly moved out on schedule and handed him the keys along with my original lease agreement. He took the keys and said that He did not have a refund and I would need to wait 30 days to receive one on the mail. Now 30 days later. My bank account has been HACKED and bank investigated the multiple charges leading back to that January rent payment. I have been getting random withdrawals from different wiring entities totaling over 1k so far. Due to covid19, I can not yet file a claim in court. And the reason I am writing this is to WARN tenants and landlords about companies like this! I am attaching the refund check I just received. What a joke! See you in court.
