Other than The Villages, are there any good rental agencies for someone who has a house and wants to rent it to others?

There are older threads about this, but wonder if there is anything ne

I and others had horrible experiences with a Villages related company called JD Mgt a couple of years ago. They have since reorganized and added at least one letter to their name. Can't say what they are like now.

I then found the best property manager in the entire world! Her name is Vilas Hinkle. She is fully licensed (very important), a Villages resident, and takes care of a number of homes here. She is completely reliable, professional, and most accommodating to all of our guests. Renting when I'm not here is now easy and worry free.

You are welcome to contact me with a pm if you want more info.

Myself and a family memeber have used JD Management for the last three years. We've found them very reliable. Any problems that cropped up in our rentals were taken care of quickly to our satisfaction. I wanted to get the other side of the situation out there. I would not hesitate to use them again..

Another vote for Vilas. She really is one of the most ethical people I've ever met.

Hi, I'm in the process of renting our house and have only contacted the villages property management thus far, but not sure they are right for us. Would you please send me contact information for Vilas Hinkle.
Thank you, Pat Forte

Vilas is retiring in January 2014. She is not taking any new clients regardless of how much they plead.

Thank you very much Jbirds99 for the recommendation. We are indeed involved in both tenant find and property management, although on a select basis. We are happy to discuss with anyone their requirements and will work together with them to achieve their goals either on a seasonal or annual basis.

Please feel free to visit our website: www.villages.evusa.com and we are currently updating our Services information for Landlords with our property management program which should be live over the next 48-72 hours.

More information on E&V is here: http://www.villages.evusa.com/aboutus/engelvolkers

My fantastic property manager, Vilas Hinkle, is postponing retirement! She will continue with a reduced number of homes, and she informed me yesterday that she has room for one or two new clients.

If you are interested, send me a PM and I will answer any questions you might have and share her phone number.
