Grace had been our agent for the past few years and she is by far the BEST agent that we had worked…read morewith! She not only helped my wife and I find the perfect 1st home (had tried 2 other agents before her), but when my family had to relocate due to a new job opportunity that I had came upon and decided to rent the place out, she did an awesome job finding / filtering potential tenants in a timely matter so I can avoid the burden of paying 2 mortgages. When we decided to sell the house a year later, Grace knew exactly what we needed to do to make the house stand out from the rest and found us the perfect buyer in 10 days with the price we wanted!! (our house actually just closed this week). And since we decided the sell the house after we had already relocated, she pretty much took control of everything and kept us informed every step of the way. In short, Grace so far helped us purchased, rented out and sold our 1st home. With her vast knowledge in real estate and market conditions, each time she would be able to give us great advice and I love how she would be up front with us about everything. I would highly recommend Grace to anyone that's looking to buy/sale a home!

It might seem impossible that someone is given 5 stars but Grace makes that possible. She is by far…read morethe best realtor I have ever worked with. She listened to my must-haves and deal-breakers in the house I was looking for. She took these into account when sending me listings to review. She was open to me sending her listings that I found and either added them to the list to view or ruled them out because they did not meet my needs. She immediately set up showings and we had several in a week. After each showing we discussed my thoughts on the property and she politely added her expertise to the conversation, helping me to make an informed decision. Grace was aware of my aggressive timeline to purchase a house and within 16 days of my first contact with her, we identified a property and were under contract. After the inspections were complete, Grace did a magnificent job negotiating with the seller for credits to make repairs. She also got supporting documentation from the seller to prove some repairs had already been completed. Additionally, she offered me additional options for mortgage and homeowners insurance so I could get competitive quotes and choose the companies that best fit my needs. Grace was with me for every milestone during the home purchasing process and made it painless and efficient. She had my best interests in mind throughout the process. I would recommend her as your realtor without hesitation.

We currently lease a Siesta Key residence managed by Bay Area Property Management at nearly $6,000…read moreper month since Sept 2025. During our tenancy, we have documented ongoing concerns relating to property condition, maintenance response, and access coordination that we believe implicate statutory landlord obligations under Florida Statutes Chapter 83, including: * §83.51 - Obligation to maintain premises in compliance with applicable building, housing, and health codes * §83.53 - Notice and limitations regarding landlord access * §83.56 - Failure to cure noncompliance * §83.67 - Prohibited practices and interference with quiet enjoyment * Applicable provisions of the Federal Fair Housing Act (under review) Concerns raised during tenancy have included: - Reported HVAC conditions involving possible mold concerns - Incomplete or unsafe stair access affecting safe ingress and egress - Second-story railing deficiencies presenting safety concerns for minor children - Delayed installation of represented safety features and window protections - Non-functioning appliances, including microwave and dryer - Front gate security not operational as represented at lease commencement - Repeated access disputes and contractor arrivals outside expected notice protocols - Installation and operation of surveillance equipment raising privacy concerns Deborah Coolidge, who operates in a principal leadership role within the company, has been directly involved in management decisions concerning this tenancy. These matters are being formally documented and reported to appropriate oversight and regulatory bodies for review, including: * Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation (DBPR) * The Florida Real Estate Commission (FREC), if applicable * The National Association of Realtors (ethics review, if applicable) * The Better Business Bureau * Local building and code enforcement authorities We are long-standing professionals and active members of the local community who entered this lease in good faith.

Prospective tenants are strongly advised to carefully review lease terms, confirm maintenance and entry procedures in advance, and document all communications in writing. If other tenants have experienced similar concerns, we encourage them to seek independent legal counsel and document their experiences appropriately.

547 46th Ave N: DO NOT RENT HERE…read more This was one of the worst rental experiences I've ever had, which is especially disappointing because I genuinely loved the home and neighborhood. Kim and Lee were extremely difficult to work with, and many of my concerns went ignored for months. The office was almost impossible to reach, calls often went unanswered, and it rarely seemed like anyone was actually available when tenants needed help. Kim frequently dismissed me, treated me like a child, and there were times she hung up on me instead of working through the issue. One of the clearest examples was after I had just finished working a 24 hour shift and was trying to address the ongoing issue with the front door, which had remained broken for months. Instead of taking my concerns seriously, she dismissed me and later involved my mother without my permission, despite there being no reason to do so. It was unprofessional and humiliating. The front door was eventually repaired, but only after an unreasonably long period of time and repeated documented requests. On top of that, there were nonfunctional smoke detectors, and I have documentation and photos showing every request I submitted throughout my tenancy. Along with this, the washing machine is very old and will destroy clothes, the dryer takes two cycles to dry, and the neighbor's dog across the street barks 24/7. ALL DAY LONG!! To make things worse, the neighbors across the street park their cars directly in front of the property, making it difficult to get out. The driveway is eroding and clearly won't get fixed. I could go on and on. The condition of the property only got worse from there. The plumbing failed repeatedly, and the AC vents were filthy and rattled loudly every time they ran. The whole place felt like it was decaying around me. Then there was the cockroach infestation, which never let up the entire time I lived there. I regularly saw 5 to 7 cockroaches a week crawling in the kitchen, the bathroom, everywhere, and no amount of cleaning on my end made a difference because the problem was clearly coming from the building itself. Instead of taking any of this seriously, Lee contacted my mother behind my back at one point, acting concerned when there was no need, and wrongly assumed I wanted to break my lease early, which I never said. It was humiliating to have my family pulled into something that should have stayed between me and management. Tellingly, the only time any of these long-standing problems finally got attention was the moment I said I was moving out. The move out process was the clearest example of that. My bathroom cabinet had an issue that I reported, and instead of fixing it, they simply charged me for it after I moved out. After spending months trying to get major maintenance and safety problems addressed and getting nowhere, it felt especially unfair to be billed for damage they never repaired in the first place. Because of this, I am pursuing this in small claims court, since I believe I was charged for their negligence rather than anything I actually did. I truly wanted this home to work because I loved the location, but the poor communication, months-long delay in repairing the front door, cockroach infestation, deteriorating condition of the property, and overall management experience ultimately pushed me to leave. If you choose to rent here, document everything: save every maintenance request, take photos, and keep records of all communication, because you may need them later. Also, I was paying $1,700 a month, and now they are charging $2,000. They are the worst people I've ever met in my entire life. They also completed the security deposit inspection only one day before the legal deadline, which shows just how lazy they truly are. Beware!!

It seems like a lot of opportunities to become indebted to this company whether you are collecting income from your property or not. I would recommend anyone who is considering using their services to first read the management agreement. Additionally they never followed up with me about employing them. Seemed a little weird to me.
