BE AWARE!
As a real estate professional who has dealt with Florida real estate for many years, I have worked with numerous property management companies. Unfortunately, Sunbelt Pros Management has been one of the most frustrating experiences I have encountered. My client was presented with a $1,000 “holding fee,” even though she was moving into the property right away. When I questioned the charge, I was given one explanation initially, and then a completely different explanation later. I was told it was a fee for taking the rental off the market. That raises a serious question: if a property is being rented to a qualified tenant who is moving in immediately, why is the tenant being charged $1,000 simply to take the property off the market? The biggest issue for me is the lack of clear and consistent explanations regarding these charges. When a company is collecting significant fees from tenants, those fees should be transparent, clearly explained, and consistently communicated. Based on my experience, I would strongly encourage anyone considering working with Sunbelt Pros Management...whether you are a tenant, property owner, or real estate professional, to ask very specific questions about every fee and get the answers in writing before moving forward. My experience was extremely disappointing, and I would not want another client or real estate professional to encounter the same situation.
