I thought working with a property management company would be the right way to go to avoid creepy…read morelandlords as a young female. Boy was I wrong. The staff at Windermere were dishonest to me and my roommate about the state of the home we were to move into. There was mold building up in the laundry room and the wall was falling apart due to a water leak. Issues that WE discovered ourselves. The leak was clearly visible to the human eye; my roommate took photos as soon as she saw the leak and we let Windermere know of the issue. Of course, this was after we had already paid $4,400.00 and signed our lease. These issues were completely ignored by all who did an "inspection" of the place. The mold is a huge concern of ours, as it should be. I had requested a professional mold test on December 17th but that request was never acknowledged and there was no follow-through. The people at Windermere made it seem like the mold was "no big deal". One of their staff members tried to tell us it was "lint stuck to the wall." That was very insulting because all photos show it is, in fact, mold. She also kept defensively talking over us, like our concerns were not valid and she had to "defend, defend, defend". She said something along the lines of, "when we complete our inspections we don't break open walls to look at their pipes.!" as an excuse. Well guess what, I didn't break down any walls either and I saw the water leak OUTSIDE of the walls. My roommate and I were not and have not, been living in the home due to the hazardous conditions. This company was not honest and scammed us out of money along with the landlord they represent. Had we known about these issues prior, we would never had signed the lease or given any money until the issues were addressed. It completely baffles me how all of these issues came about once the landlord and Windermere had our money and a signed lease. We were hopeful when we spoke with Paula at Windermere who said she would advise the landlord to forgive our January rent due to the living conditions. The landlord said "no" and that the conditions were "livable". And that was that. It's shocking because I keep thinking "Doesn't he want a good relationship with his tenants?". However, the landlord had to "drive 1,000 miles and take time off of work" due to him wanting to complete the repairs himself. That information was used by the landlord and Windermere as a tactic for us having to pay rent for a hazardous home. It was his choice to do the repairs when there were plenty of capable contractors right here in the community who would have completed the job within the week. It took a month for this guy to fix issues he ignored for a long time. This has been a terrible experience for me and I have 0 respect for Windermere Property Management and the landlords they represent and choose to defend. Now, if you can excuse me as I write a check for $2,200 for a house where I have not lived in over the past two months. This is due to Windermere's lack of anything regarding the mold test and the lack of urgency regarding the mushy wall in the laundry room. It's truly just the principle of the situation and I feel frustrated, and I am lacking hope for my living circumstances. 2025 is rough and I believe we all need to help each other out, not take advantage. And that is what Windermere did and does. All - Use caution and complete your own inspection before signing a lease agreement or giving any money. This company will lie to you and scam you and think nothing of it.

This is for the renter's side of their business…read more They charge tons of fees - $50 per person for the application, $20-25 for each pet, and when the first application came back with no results on the credit score they asked us to submit a new application, with new fees. They promised to refund the first application fees via email, and did not. All in all just applying cost us (two people + pets) about $300. Windermere did not even want to manage the property I was applying to and dropped the owner of the house as a client AFTER I paid all the fees - I was in touch with the owner and she was bewildered - it sounded like they have never wanted to take the property over and are so unscrupulous that they operated like they would just to get the application in. Read the other reviews. At best they are expensive, at worst they are fraudulent. It's so hard to avoid them because housing is tight here, but you will surely pay more in the end if you choose them out of desperation. They rely on you not going to small claims court or hiring legal to keep being scummy.

I don't remember how we initially got connected with Cary but, over the past year and a half, it's…read morebecome very clear how lucky we were to have found her. We started searching for a house over a year ago but were (unexpectedly) hamstrung by our landlord and lease. For this reason, we had to postpone our search and resume about 9 months later. Cary remembered us and the type of home we were hoping to buy. She was communicative through the entire process and I came to realize that, even if it wouldn't benefit her, she would always give us her honest opinion and thoughts about any question we asked. She probably could have talked us into buying a home several months ago, but was committed to making sure we got just the *right* house. Cary knows the ins and outs of house sales. She is willing and competent to answer any question a buyer might have. She is ready to show a home the moment a client expresses interest and really strives to understand her clients' needs and wishes. We are very grateful for her and for the help she provided us from beginning to end. I cannot recommend her more highly to those who are beginning their home search.

When we rented the house online at 2262 Cove Dr. a key feature was the boat dock. So after renting the house for the boat dock... they failed to mention that there was dredging all winter and nobody could even use the boats or had access to the dock. Not mention there was a dredging crew of workers looking inside of our house for six months... and they slept outside near our dock! Which again they will be dredging this fall for this house. We paid our rent early every month and yet received inappropriate calls on weekends. This is a must avoid business- as the manager will do whatever he can, including calling you on the weekends to ensure they get every penny from you, but ghost you if you need anything! Save yourself the trouble and find another property management.
