I am leaving this review to warn others and document my experience with this company in detail, as…read moreI believe there are significant issues with their business practices that prospective renters should be aware of. **Communication & Responsiveness** Throughout the entire process, communication was virtually nonexistent. Neither Diego nor Brock responded consistently to phone calls, text messages, or emails. There was no proactive outreach, no status updates, and no acknowledgment that inquiries were even received. Clients are left entirely in the dark. **Application Process & Transparency** After submitting a completed application and paying all associated fees, the listing was quietly removed with no explanation or communication. We were told we were the only applicants. However, we were later informed that another applicant had "out-scored" us based on an internal scoring system that is never disclosed to applicants. I find it difficult to believe that a competing applicant was able to tour, apply, and be fully approved within a window of roughly 3.5 hours (between 6:00 PM and 9:30 AM). The fees collected are non-refundable regardless of outcome. **Management & Accountability** When we visited the office in person, Brock assured us we would receive an update by end of day. When we followed up the next morning, he stated it was "not his department" and transferred us to voicemail -- this from someone who is listed as an owner of the business. The lack of accountability and dismissive attitude toward paying clients is unacceptable. **Landlord Relations** Perhaps most concerning was a conversation we had directly with the property owners, who shared that they had been waiting months to fill their rental and were on the verge of listing the home for sale -- completely unaware that any interested applicants existed. This suggests a serious disconnect between this company and the landlords it claims to represent. A review of the property's Zillow rental history appears to support a pattern: the listing cycles on and off the market repeatedly, fees are collected, applicants are told another party was selected, and the property is relisted weeks later with claims that the prior placement fell through. **Final Note** I would strongly encourage anyone considering this company to first review their Better Business Bureau profile. Based on the pattern of responses to negative reviews -- typically directing complainants to contact a specific staff member or call the office, with no actual resolution -- I expect a similar response here. Based on our experience, I would not anticipate that contact to lead anywhere productive. This review is submitted in good faith to help others make an informed decision.

I hired Sun Pro Realty and Property Management to find renters for my 3 bedroom town house. After 7…read moremonths and no contract, I fired them. All I heard from them was excuses and numerous requests for me to lower the rent. I was asking the market rental rate. Their advertising was WEAK, I had to ask them to put up a sign and when they did, it was a cheap wire frame sign that the HOA had me remove. Their website presence was horrible and they are not responsive. They posted the wrong pictures, then took weeks to correct it. My sliding screen door was ripped sometime during the showings, I asked them to repair it and they blew me off. I hired a new property manager and had renters within 1 month.

I recently had the good fortune to become acquainted with Matthew McLean of Shoreline Realty in…read moreDaytona Beach after observing his excellent service involving the sale of a neighbor's beachside Daytona Beach home. When I decided to put my own house on the market a few months ago, I remembered Shoreline Realty from the name on the side of Matthew's pick-up truck, looked him up, and reached out. We met at my home soon after to get acquainted, have Matthew get a look at the house, and voice our thoughts on appropriate updates/repairs, the asking price, for getting it on the market, etc. With Matthew's guidance and assistance in facilitating preparations, the house was listed on April 20th, had six showings, and had two solid offers within a week. In the interim, I've come to know Matthew as a high-energy person of integrity, with a wealth of local knowledge and resources who grew up in the area and is finely tuned to the local real estate markets. He's reliable, intelligent yet relatable, driven yet chill, and knows how to market properties to the best advantage for both buyers and sellers. His appreciation and knowledge of older homes such as mine, as well as his knowledge of how houses of all eras are put together (and his sense of humor), is a bonus. If you are looking for a real estate agent in Volusia County who's willing to put in the work and go the extra mile, I enthusiastically recommend Matthew McLean of Shoreline Realty.

If I could give zero stars, I would…read more My mother scheduled an appointment with Four Star Homes to view a manufactured home in Bulow Plantation. The appointment was confirmed. Based on that commitment, she drove two and a half hours to spend the weekend with me so we could view the property together. The day before the appointment, the agent called to cancel. His explanation was that because my mother's current home sale had not officially closed, he didn't want to show her the property. We were told, in essence, that there was no point in showing the home until her sale was final. Here's the problem. Her home is already under contract, and the paperwork is actively being completed. This was not a casual inquiry or someone "just looking." She is a serious buyer who made travel plans based on an appointment your company scheduled. If that was your policy, it should have been communicated before confirming the appointment, not after she had already rearranged her weekend and driven hours to be here. The entire experience came across as unprofessional, dismissive, and disrespectful of a customer's time. It also raises the question of how motivated Four Star Homes is to sell homes if confirmed appointments are canceled simply because an agent decides a buyer isn't worth meeting. We will be taking our business elsewhere, and I would encourage other buyers to think twice before making travel plans based on an appointment with this company.

He was professional, punctual, and wonderful to deal with. He's been so responsive after the shoot with getting our photos back to us remarkably fast, recommending local print shops, and discussing future shoot options I wanted. The morning started with Tony coming to our home (where we asked to have the pictures taken). He had excellent ideas of where to take photos. With 4 small children(one of them a baby) and 3 dogs, he handled us all. He was calm and took time with each of us. He was even ok wardrobe changes! I'm use to photographers giving "15 minute sessions" or whatever. No sir! Tony spent so much time making sure we got all the different types of shots and getting everyone to look at the camera. That takes really talent and effort with 6 people and 3 animals!! We took independent shots, couple shots, etc. When I received the photos (not the next month or two like some, but the VERY NEXT DAY!!!) I was so happy to see that he had been taking shots in between set ups. He captured my girls in such loving, impromptu poses. The best ones were when we weren't posing and didn't even know he was shooting. I am so impressed with his abilities and can't wait to use him again. I will also be recommending him to all my friends that visit the area as he takes wonderful photos on the beach.

As a homeowner who entrusted my property to Ponce Inlet Realty, I am deeply disappointed and…read morefrustrated by the entire experience. From the outset, their promises of professional management and high occupancy rates proved to be nothing more than empty assurances. I got one 6-month rental agreement over an 18-month period. The management of my property was subpar at best. Despite assurances of regular (quarterly) inspections and upkeep, we received no communication of this actually occurring. Further, family members who came after the 6-month rental ended found a very dirty and dog-hair filled home and fleas after it was "deep cleaned" as arranged by Ponce Inlet Realty. Further, the rugs and furniture were also covered in dog hair. The cleanliness standards were shockingly low, and after numerous complaints, and where Ponce Inlet Realty agreed the cleaning was sub-par, they still declined to reimburse us for the cleanings we had to have done. I strongly caution any prospective homeowners against entrusting their properties to Ponce Inlet Realty, as they have proven themselves incapable of providing the level of service and care that homeowners rightfully expect and deserve. (Pics after their 'deep clean' from the house cleaner I hired to actually clean the home).
