Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Realty

We originally contracted with Berkshire Hathaway in 2011-2023 to manage our property when the company was under the ownership of Macintosh. However, when he left/sold the company, the quality of care we received from this management company became poor and highly questionable. In fact, I had to drive to Gainesville one year to have a meeting with the property managers because for some reason, there was always a maintenance issue that arose every month and we were charge hundreds to thousands of dollars to fix. Interestingly enough, after that meeting, we were no longer charged these exorbitant amount of money every month. We were with this company for over 10 years and I am regretful we did not switch sooner. When we withdrew our property from this company, they again charged us an ex

We recently worked with Chelsea Parr on the purchase of an out-of-state condo, and the experience could not have been more positive! From our very first conversation, Chelsea understood our intent to purchase a home closer to our daughter who attends UF. She impressed us with their deep knowledge of the local market, responsiveness, and genuine commitment to finding the right property for us — even though we weren’t physically there. She welcomed the opportunity to set up a full day of showings for us when we were finally able to make it to Gainesville. Communication with Chelsea was seamless and proactive; we always felt informed, supported, and prioritized. What truly stood out was Chelsea’s willingness to help us navigate the Florida market and requirements all from afar, and her co

I rented from Magnolia Manor which they manage. I was a renter for a year. It was my fiancé and I living there together. We’re very clean people. No smoking. No pets. No shoes in the house. If I dropped something on the carpet, I used my wet vac to clean it up. I took care of the place. Before our lease was ending, they sent a list of what needed to be done. They made sure to note that the taps must ”sparkle”. So I did exactly that. We cleaned for hours to ensure we’d get our full security deposit back. Even replaced the drip pans on the stove top. They still charged us $80 for ONE HOUR of cleaning. Yk why it’s only one hour??? Because there was nothing excessive or unsanitary that was beyond normal wear and tear. Everything was as we got it aside from marks on the walls that needed a coat

We live 2 hours away from this one property we inquired about, we scheduled our tour at 2 pm, unfortunately we noticed we were going to be late through the ETA on the gps so we called 30 minutes before to let them know. Turns out we spoke with the manager who said it was okay for us to be 15-20 minutes late and she would notify the agent meeting with us. We show up at the time we gave to find out no one was meeting with us. We called back and was informed the agent left at 2:18 saying we were late, even though we gave a reasonable notice, while we arrived only 2 minutes after she supposedly “left”. They also informed us that the agent said we were 30 minutes late on top of the notice we gave them which was not correct. Somehow in the 3 minutes of the agent leaving and us arriving she made

The office manager is rude, hostile, and does not listen. As a tennant, I expected to be treated with respect. Instead, the office manager was agitated and evicted me from the SERVICE office. She did not care about me being a senior person. I got similar feedback about the office manager from other senior neighbor. I would never deal with this office again.
