Property Management company recommendation in Orlando?
I currently have properties in Orlando that I have managed myself for many years but I no longer live near Orlando and realized it is best for me to hire a Property Manager. Someone that works for one of the HOA's recommended a contractor to me to complete some repairs I needed done to rent one property that I couldn't find anyone else that was interested in work in the area and I didn't want to keep driving in to complete myself, and his wife is a Property Manager. I briefly hired them but it was a disaster and in less than a month I finally had to fire both of them. The HOA manager said this employee knows she shouldn't be recommending either of them, their work is terrible and they are very dishonest, I agree. Anyhow it's over with.
Everyone that I know personally is also still managing their own properties and says they would like to find someone, but they are still
local.
I met with three on Monday through Thumbtack but I am a tad nervous after being hustled by the first person I hired. She said all the right things also, but you can't easily screen for honesty with a first meeting. These three tried to convince me Thumbtack has verified reviews, and they are listed as Top Pro's within the Thumbtack orbit, whatever that means. These were the three if anyone happens to use them:
Fred Mansfield with Orlando Property Management Realty
Vivian Lippi with Real property Management Verita
Dean Nikolic with PMI Property Alliance
I also know about Great Jones, they cold called me once and there was a prior thread but there wasn't much said on the thread.
So I am curious if anyone can recommend a Property Manager they have been happy with, or do you happen to have ever worked with these three?
Thanks for any thoughts on this.
