He went way out of his way to help me with multiple inspections, he went to the house so many times to let contractors in & gave me so many names of trusting individuals to help me get this property remodeled. His paperwork was spot on & he returned all of calls within minutes. If you need a Realtor to help you find your dream home, or for any Real Estate transaction, you should call Luis. He won't keep you waiting & he bends over backwards to accommodate you! I feel very fortunate to have stumbled upon Luis!

STAY AWAY! Hank can be unprofessional at times and professional when it suits him. He has had the…read moreopportunity over the last 2 years to property manage my investment home. Hank has done absolutley nothing in 24 months except collected his 10% monthly fee. Zero inspections of the property have been done. (Should have been 4, if done every 6 months). Air filters have not been changed in the unit on a regular schedule. (Causes major problems with your HVAC unit). Upon the first move out (since tenant was occupying for 2 years since the day I purchased the property I have had to go to the property 6 times. (What do I pay Hank for???) He sent in a random "handyman" to do touch up paint which had to be done twice, a horrible cleaning company (had to clean twice) and missed the miscellaneous items damaged by the tenant. If I did not look for myself (which I should not have to do) I would be paying out of my own pocket for repairs. There are so many other companies to choose from! Don't say I didn't warn you!!!!!

We were shown a property that was for rent. We applied for approval and paid $200 (more than we've…read morehad to pay elsewhere in the past or since) for the credit and background checks, all of which went fine. Our application was approved. When we received the proposed lease, we believed several of the terms to be TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. If the landlord approved of a pet and later changed his mind for any reason (not just because the pet was a nuisance, biter, barker, etc.), the landlord could withdraw the approval, and the tenant would have 7 days to get rid of the pet or face eviction. The lease also called for a $100 per day late payment fee for any rent received more than 3 days late. These were changes from the sample lease we had been given previously. Even the broker whose agent showed us the property acknowledged that the terms of the lease were very tough and might not have been intended as written. Also, if the landlord desired to do repairs to the place and felt the tenant had to vacate for the repairs to be done, he could give seven days' notice to vacate. Bottom line: We withdrew our application and found another property. The process was a waste of our time and money. I would recommend that others demand to see a copy of the actual lease (not a sample lease) before applying for approval and paying for the credit/background check.

I googled property managers and about 20 minutes after putting in anon-line request John, the owner, called. It was a Sunday afternoon! We interviewed several management companies, but something about John's demeanor clicked with us. He was "no non-sense", " this is what I do, and how I do it". He is confident and his confidence is contagious. Cherie and Roxanne in his office are efficient and communicative. They were quick to answer my questions/concerns. Don't hesitate, just call them!

We had some unexpected delays during the process that were unexpected and unavoidable. John kept a cool head and covered all the bases necessary to safeguard his customer's interest. In my career, I have seen situations where the listing agent makes the already stressful situation worse. John did the opposite! I can say without a doubt that without John, this transaction probably wouldn't have closed. I highly recommend John and hope that I get to work with him more in the future.

Nancy Werner was recommended to me by a friend who praised her highly for her expertise in the…read moreSarasota real estate market and I'm so happy to work with her. She helped me with purchasing my second home and made the process so easy and stress-free. Her demeanor is professional, calm and laid back - no high-pressure sales schtick, Nancy was on point with everything we were looking for. I was on vacation in Sarasota and had a limited amount of time to look for houses (I take my beach-time seriously). Nancy took my 'wants, must haves, and would be nice to have' into consideration, she patiently drove me all over hill and yonder to visit several houses. On my last day of vacation, we finally found the house I was looking for in the perfect neighborhood and in our price range. We did a mail away closing she handled all phases of the process, it was so straight forward, she explained all the documents and it was as relatively stress-free as one can expect. I can get geared up (I'm from NY) and I really appreciated her calm and practical demeanor. Nancy and John are also managing the property and tenants until we retire in a few years - she's doing a fanastic job! I'm so happy with Nancy and John, if you're looking to purchase a property or someone to manage your rentals, I highly recommend Nancy and John!

Robert and Janet R Bradenton, FL…read moreTwo years ago, my wife and I decided that it was time to move to Florida. We wanted to rent in the Sarasota area but found places were going very fast! Then we came upon a rental from Florida West Coast Property Management and got in contact with Aimee Bahk. We knew we had to move quickly and Aimee helped get us through the process with ease! Aimee was friendly and professional. She knew the steps we were required to take for us to be approved as renters. Aimee quickly responded to any questions we had during the process. Once our move was successful, Aimee continued to keep in touch. We only had a couple of maintenance issues, which we considered normal, so we notified Aimee. Her response was fantastic! Aimee quickly got the help we needed for the repairs. On more than one occasion, Aimee would say "I appreciate you" as tenants. Well, we appreciate Aimee and want to thank her for all she has done to make our dream a reality!

We have been renting-out our Bradenton condo since 2008 and up until switching to Florida West…read moreCoast Property Managers about a year and a half ago, had a dreadful experience. You might say we were in an unhealthy, co-dependent relationship with our former management company. As in most relationships, it took a crisis for us to realize how badly our former manager was; our former tenant basically sold the property furniture out from under us and the manager claimed ignorance. Anyway, I digress. We were fortunate to have been referred to Florida West Coast Property Managers ("FWCPM") by a realtor when we were considering selling our property. The difference between our former management company and FWCPM could not be greater. Our manager Aimee Bahk is professional, courteous, and a delight to work with. She has helped us through many difficult situations such as finding new tenants and managing repair and installation work orders. If you are in need of excellent management for your rental property on the Florida west coast, look no further than the staff at Florida West Coast Property Management.
