Dee takes care of my home that has a pool, but you need to hire a pool service in addition. I use T&D Concrete for mine. But as many many others have stated before, Dee does everything else. I also agree with the person who suggested handling the rental, lease, taxes and payments your self.

Does anyone have Vilas Hinkle's e-mail address?

I'm glad this old thread popped up again. Almost exactly a year ago I posted a recommendation here of JD Management. I have recently severed my ties with them after a lengthy series of very bad incidents. If you have specific questions send me a PM. I'm currently working on a complaint to the Florida Real Estate Commission.

I looked around for weeks and finally contacted two terrific people, Redwitch and l2ridehd. They led me to Vilas Hinkle, and we are off to a very good start with the rental management of my home.

If she is willing to share her email address I will put it here shortly.

We, too, are using Redwitch from this site, and she is just wonderful! We can't say enough about her professionalism and care. If you can get her, you are really lucky, and will not be disappointed.

If anyone could point us in the right direction we would be very grateful

Once again I will strongly recommend Vilas Hinkle, at vilashin@me.com. I've had two wonderful years renting my home part time through her service. She is fully licensed, which is the only way renters and owners have protection, in case something isn't quite as advertised. Unlicensed operators are actually renting illegally, even if they pay required county and state taxes. Vilas and her husband Dennis are Villagers who take care of any and all details at a number of properties. They always do it thoroughly with the personal touch. I couldn't be happier!

Send me a private message if you'd like more information.
