    Owner after assaulting me and holding me under false imprisonment.

    On June 13, 2025, I went to Volusia County Towing (owned by Thomson Holdings Enterprises LLC) in Holly Hill, FL to retrieve personal belongings from a towed Avis rental. Under Florida Statute §715.07(2)(a)(5), I'm legally entitled to access my items without being forced to pay or surrender company property. I emailed in advance. Their GM, Aaron Forsman, replied that I would only be allowed to retrieve my belongings if I surrendered the Avis rental key--which is not my property. This was an attempt to coerce compliance in violation of state law. When I arrived, an employee allowed me inside. As I collected my items, someone radioed the gate employee and ordered them not to let me leave. Moments later, Derek Thomson, the owner, pulled up in a truck, entered the gate, and locked me inside, refusing to allow me to exit. I informed him he was unlawfully detaining me and stated I would call 911. Only then was I allowed to leave. After exiting the gate, Mr. Thomson physically shoved me in a threatening manner. This was not only assault, but also harassment and intimidation intended to frighten me into submission. I left shaken, with my items, but I have since suffered anxiety, missed work, and emotional trauma due to the incident. When I attempted to report this to the police, Holly Hill PD questioned me instead of taking appropriate action, raising major bias concerns. This business violated the law and my rights: * Illegal denial of property access * Attempted coercion * False imprisonment * Physical assault * Harassment and intimidation I am filing formal complaints with the Florida Attorney General, FDLE, and Consumer Services, and pursuing civil damages through the courts

    THIS COMPANY IS EVIL! My son's college campus had an active shooter threat and he fled campus and parked across the school in an apartment complex to hide out as campus was on lockdown! They were waiting to try to tow cars and they towed my son's cars. We were in a different state and the car was registered to us. They refused to give him his car back before paying $170 and before we had to get an online notary to do a vehicle release form when I told him the situation and my son did not see the sign that it was for potential Clients because he was upset and nervous he told me he didn't give a shit. Anyone who uses these kind of people and does business with them are pieces of crap! Awful heartless people! Even the police told the tow truck driver he was an asshole! I will leave a review everywhere about this company. I don't care if it makes a difference or not it needs to be said. When my son went to go pick up their car, there were other kids that they had towed their cars too that were in the same situation as my son. HEARTLESS!

    See all

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.

    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.

We were originally with Exit, then transferred to Tyler because the owner, Aswin Suri, was awful to work with. Then, he purchased Tyler and we were stuck with him again! Nothing but a horrible experience dealing with them and I couldn't be happier to fire them, if only I wasn't again trying to get the tenant's security deposit to make repairs and clean the property! Their only saving grace was Sue Marzello, who now owns her own property management company - Tall Gates.

Also, he prefers to undervalue your property's rent value to get someone in quickly as he is too lazy to keep traveling to your property site so a low rent gets someone in quickly. You lose $$ in the process. He will lie about situations to cover his lazy ass and PLEASE - DO NOT GO WITH THIS COMPANY!!! You will be making a big mistake as I made by utilizing their "pretend" services. What a joke!!
