I stoped by to get information on listings and possible get assistance on finding a rental. Did not feel welcomed and was given minimal assistance. The lady who came up to the front desk simply said they do not take time to sit at the computer and go over rentals with people. She didn’t even sit at her chair to ask me more information. I called the office before showing up and no one answered. What’s the point of having an open office if you aren’t welcome to walk ins.

We have been tenants in a property managed by Central Florida Property Management for over four years, and our experience with them has been great! In particular, Fred Jackson has been responsive, friendly, and has always worked to resolve our issues as quickly as possible.

The ceiling has been cracked and separating for over a week since July 14th when we noticed, a manager came out the next day. Said that an engineer needed to come out look into the attic. She did a test to check the foundation and seemed concerned but didn't say much. The property management company did not disclose details. The engineer could not come out until 18th and he did not go in the attic or said anything about the foundation. The soonest they could schedule someone to come out was, July 25th. Which i took off work. The people came and left immediately without saying anything. I got a phone call from the contractor saying the floor, walls and ceiling all needed to be replaced. I no longer have access to either of the two rooms in my duplex. The other room is filled with furniture and Im sleeping in my living room. I am renting this property. There are various other concerns around the house so we want to make sure we are living in a safe property. This added new issue has not created any sort of urgency or renewed urgency to correct the problem. Beyond that several employees I have spoken to have been very rude in regards to my concerns regarding how livable my house is. When I asked to have a manager call me I was told by the secretary “I can’t make them call you.” Seems like urgent issues are not important to management either.

Fred has been and continues to be amazing. He not only manages our property for my wife and I, which allows us to enjoy additional passive income, but also helped us look for additional properties. I highly recommend Central Florida Property Management, especially if you will be working with Fred.

Would have given them "Zero" if I could. Had the most pathetic experience with this company and their agent Ms. Osorio. Was the first applicant for a rental advertised on their website. Got a call from their agent that the property will be earmarked for me until I saw the property. She also had my realtor tour the property. We were ready to sign the lease but she advised to hold off signing the lease until I saw the property. To my surprise, without any prior notification, she gave the property to some other tenant citing "the owner has secured a tenant for the property". I lost another very good rental coz of false reassurance from the agent and this company. Of course! no regrets as I was saved from dealing with a management company like this one. Texted and emailed the owner Steve Simpson. Seems like he is busy making YouTube Videos to scam more folks. The owner did not bother to respond to either text message or email message. They call themselves boutique company. Beware of these "boutique scammers".

I have had an amazing experience working with Fred Jackson and Steve Simpson. These two gentlemen are the definition of professional. Steve helped me prepare my rental house, answered all of my questions, and set me up for success. Fred always went above and beyond, even surprising me at times with his extra effort. After property managing my house I was even able to hire Fred to put the house on the market as my realtor. The house is sold, but I look forward to working with these two again in the future. Thank you for all your hard work.

I am very thankful that I found Central Florida Property Management! Steve and Ryan have been fantastic. I was nervous about finding a good property management company to care for my townhouse. I live out of state and just couldn’t manage it by myself any longer. I talked to several companies and felt like Steve and team were the way to go. I haven’t looked back. Thanks CFP! 😀

From our first encounter with CFPM, Elaine Osorio expertly guided us through the journey of acquiring investment property in Central Florida. Elaine's knowledge of the local market is extensive: she helped us identify and purchase a property and efficiently and quickly managed vendors to get it into top shape before securing tenants. We could not have asked for better communication. She provided frequent updates and was always available to answer questions throughout the process. We look forward to working with Elaine and Central Florida Property Management for a long time!

I own a rental property in Orlando. Steve Simpson and his team at Central Florida Property Management have consistently provided professional and outstanding service to us. They have been responsive to any questions we might have and I will not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for competent and honest people managing their rental property. Thank you Steve.

Be advised that even though it does not say in their listing, their website, or on the application itself that all adults need to submit separate applications. This is unlike other applications where it informs you of this policy and provides a way to forward an application to the others. You also should not expect the property manager to inform you of this policy even though you express that it was strange that there was no application forwarding section and that you were happy to provide roommate information when needed. I was frustrated each time I dealt with someone from this company and will not consider applying with them again in the future.

Manuel Hernandez and Steve Simpson are very professional and know what they're doing. They were my property managers as well as realtors. Steve, the broker/owner, was always there to answer my questions regarding rental issues/regulations. He gave valuable advises about how to set rent price or how to deal with a renter's late payment. Manuel helped to sell my property quickly, smoothly at a very good price. He's knowledgeable and responded promptly when I needed him. I highly recommended Manuel Hernandez and Central Florida Property Management and would work with them again if opportunities arise.

This team makes renting out our condo a breeze. They're always very responsive to any of my questions or concerns and my tenants have never had an issue. We were nervous at first when choosing a property manager for our condo, but we couldn't be happier with our choice.

I have had my property managed by CFPM since about May 2017. It's a small property but like any sized property, there are repairs and turnover, etc. Steve Simpson and Fred Jackson and the other staff I've interacted with have always been professional and handled issues in a timely fashion. So why write a review after five years? Well, I own a few properties and over the past decade+ have dealt with multiple property management companies (different locations). I have seen how some of the worst in the business manage property and after a recent terrible experience with a different company; I came to appreciate even more the great work that CFPM does. The piece of mind that comes from knowing your property is in good hands is invaluable. And I thank Steve and Fred for that.

I was looking for a realtor in Orlando and I got introduced to BLEU SANTANA through my friend. Bleu is awesome to work with. She is very professional and get things done quickly. The property we got in contract had multiple issues. Bleu did a great job throughout negotiating better terms with the seller and either got it fixed or got credit for those. There were also some unexpected challenges with lender. She did great navigating through those challenges and got everything done in time for closing. The pace she moved to get the inspection done, negotiate with seller before closing is amazing. I’m an out of state investor and she made my life easier by taking care of everything. I highly recommend Bleu as a realtor and property manager.

The service Steve and his team provided was excellent! He met with us fast and we are impressed by his expertise. His team helped us to manage the property well, and we had a peace of mind knowing that they will take care of all the problems. They were able to secure tenants in a timely manner, and we have been receiving rents since. The cost for the management is standard, and we thank them for the great service! We look forward to more business with Central Florida Property Management for years to come.

My wife and I are first time property owners, and after a lot of research we found Central Florida Property Managers. Eventually we were matched with Fred Jackson, a Property Manager within that company, and he has been absolutely amazing. My wife and I were hesitant about this process, but Fred made it so easy and simple. He explained everything to us, and kept us completely informed every step of the way. Fred is also honest, sincere, and pleasant to deal with. I am very happy knowing Fred is our Property Manager, and can sleep easy at night knowing he is looking out for us. Thanks Fred, appreciate it.
