My fiancé and I have been renting an FPM property since June. So far, they have been incredible to work with. They’re easy to get in touch with, answer questions within 24 hours, and any maintenance issue we’ve had was resolved within a week (although we luckily have yet to have any emergent problems). They’re simple to work with, the portal makes billing easy, and the rent is not overly-inflated like other places, and we have been more than happy to pay on time every single month because of it. Tim has been on standby at every turn and was more than willing to address and correct any concerns

I have been working with FPM for approximately 10 years. They are not only amazing to work with personally, but they have helped numerous clients of mine as well. I would recommend FPM to anybody looking for a true professional, qualified and licensed property manager.

Cudos to Timothy Ennevor, FPM realtor, on the very quick and swift sale of our home in St. Johns, FL.
We called Timothy after having our listing fall apart, with another company. The current market is all over the place, with homes selling almost immediately. We had the house ready and wanted to get it listed ASAP. We were very impressed with his knowledge of the market, his demeanor/professionalism and his step by step description of the process. He provided us with details, updates and information as things progressed and then kept things going after the contract was ratified. He was amazing

First Place Management is my go-to property management company. Have used them to manage properties since 2010. Always on top of things, quickly find new tenants, and the team are real estate rock stars!

FPM has been one of the best property management companies I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. They respond to any issues quickly, have super friendly staff, and make scheduling maintenance a breeze. They have informative communication emails and monthly contests where they reward tenants with great gift cards. I had 3 wonderful years with FPM and hope to do business with them again one day.

Do NOT use FPM Properties as property management of your rental property. I used them for three years, not only was it hard to get them to answer their phone, it was even worse for them to answer your many messages. In the rental agreement, it states that they will check the property condition every 90 days, well that's not the case, and I have tenants statements to prove that. When my tenant moved out, it cost us 16,000.00 dollars to repair the damage done. When I asked for all the property inspections, they stopped taking my calls. This company is the worst property management company ever, and

Kalean in the accounting department is a gem. I set up auto-rent payments a while back, yet I decided to pay my January rent in advance. Another rent payment was withdrawn from my checking account on December 31st. In other words: DOUBLE-PAY. I called Kalean, and she took care if it and facilitated the refund in less than 5 minutes. I left her a voice mail when I initially called, and she called me back within minutes to rectify the issue. Thanks, Kalean and FPM!

Fraud. Beware, they will take numerous applications and app fees one one home and won't give your money back if the owner doesn't choose you. Even if they didn't run and credit or background checks. So if one house has 41 applications, all those poor souls will lose out
on their $80 app fee which is ridiculously high and keep all that money. That would be a $3000 profit for them without doing anything. Renter BEWARE!!!!!

I called FPM and scheduled an appointment with an agent several days in advance to look at a rental property, and on the day of the appointment, I followed their instructions to call 1 hour prior to my appointment time; when I called, I was told they already accepted an application. The agent said he didn't see any appointment on their schedule at all. There was no apology from him, and he couldn't have cared less about the misunderstanding. Thanks for completely wasting my time when I did my due diligence to be organized and prepared. (Posted recently, but this occurred in July of 2018

I'm new at renting with this company, and so far I'm not that happy. It has now been a week since my move in date. First of all, I'm glad they fixed up the holes in the walls from the previous tenants, looks good there. They did fail to vacuum the whole place when they said they would. They had three weeks, counting Thanksgiving week, to do it. There was no evidence of the carpets being cleaned when I moved in. The carpets still had a funny smell from the previous tenant having a dog. My current frustration is getting my internet set up. It said the internet and cable is included in the rent. I

FPM managed two investment properties for us for the last 13 years. I cannot say enough good things about Brenda, Mike and their team. We recently sold those properties, and it is bittersweet parting ways with such a great company. From finding us quality, long term renters, to managing those annoying HOA letters about a weed growing in the driveway (yes, true story), FPM would handle it and we wouldn't have to give it another thought. I highly recommend FPM without hesitation.

We moved in 2016 we found out carpet is way dirty and filthy we requested cleaning.
throughout the years they were professional no problems.
but when our lease ended the story of the bad ugly landlords started.
they requested that all carpet to be cleaned professionally.
bathroom and floor need to be cleaned and mopped, holes in the wall to be covered.
me and my wife took at least 4 hours to do all that .
after inspection they slammed us with $250 cleaning fees .
I contacted them they gave the runner around tactics.

Stay clear of this company, far from ethical. A company looking to take advantage of every situation.

We gave two months notice to FPM Properties requesting to break the lease which was granted by the owner. The reason we left before our lease was up is because of the sub-standard conditions we have had to endure from the minute we moved into this property. It is not a matter of moving to something else - we just can't take the conditions and the way we were treated anymore and quite frankly we should not have had to. We were paying an extremely high rent for what was on the market.

Beware of FPM Properties...I can not begin to describe the relief I have to not be renting from FPM Properties anymore. These past two years have been additional cost and nothing but a headache. We were never late on rent the entire 5 years living at this place. Treated this place like we our own even though the house needed work from previous tenants. They make it difficult to receive all or majority of your deposit back even after performing the task on their move out list they sent us. Why are we responsible for maintenance coordination calls, charging for maintenance of an AC that was recently

If I could leave them less than one star I would.

The most important part of a business relationship is communication. We had a home rented out in Jax (Navy) because we moved to NY. Getting any explanation of their extremely difficult monthly statements was extremely tedious. Having experience of running a brand name business for close to 10 years and going to school for business admin I still struggled. Not to mention dealing with Wanda Franks attitude.

We had 5ish unfortunate years paying Heth and multiple tenants they failed to mention our leaking kitchen window. EVEN AFTER THEY INSPECTED

I was trying to avoid making this public but FPM Properties has given me no other choice. We rented a house in Neptune beach last October. Everything has been fine for the most part up until a couple months ago when we began seeing bedbugs in our rooms. After speaking to maintenance, we found out that all pest control was at our own expense per our lease agreement. We paid around $600 and have had three treatments done. The bed bugs keep coming back, leading pest control to believe they had laid their eggs underneath the carpet, likely prior to when we moved in. At this news, I requested to be

Worst rental company ever. Since day one this company has been a nightmare. I had to call over and over again to even get someone to answer the phone and in the end a neighbor had to show me the property. On move in day, the yard was a mess, gutters full of leaves, house was dirty, all walls satined and needed painting, valve to water for washer was broken... I documented everything possible in hope that I am not charged when we move out. If they take even one penny from my security deposit you better believe I'm reporting them to the Better Business Bureau. They didn't even know what

Getting started with the company was easy enough. However, once they received their initial payment, the communication stopped. This may be a great property manager for someone looking to rent their house out, but their contracts heavily favor the company and are completely unfair to the tenant. In the year that I was there, the stove, freezer and air conditioner all broke. Only the stove was repaired in a timely manor. The air conditioner took two months and over twenty phone calls to get repaired. The freezer was never fixed. When I moved in, the garbage can had maggots all over the bottom, and

There is a reason why the Better Business Bureau's Jacksonville chapter lists an F rating for First Place Management. You will NOT get your security deposit back if you rent one of their properties, no matter the condition upon move out. They are small town scam artists. I honestly left the town home I rented in better condition than the day I moved in. Spent over $500 to make the place look immaculate upon move out; professional carpet cleaning, matching and painting walls, preventative pest treatment, etc etc etc. They still found a way to cheat me out of half of my security deposit.
