Olde Town Brokers

Jeannie Clarke with Olde Town Realty was a pleasure to work with. She is personable, knowledgeable and quite thorough. Erin Griffin, a coworker of Jeannie's, was extremely helpful as well. They make a good team.

Very Professional staff. The Best Real Estate company in Central Florida Shelby Norwich is an excellent agent and Broker.

Brett Winters and Olde Town Brokers are AMAZING! The entire team did an outstanding job on the sale of our home and the purchase of another house. The process from beginning to end was incredibly easy and smooth. If you are looking for an agent who is professional and knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with, you would be hard pressed to find someone better than Brett Winters. He has the best attitude! Thank you Brett and OTB Team!

I bought a piece of property in Orlando through Olde Town Brokers. I had excellent experience in using their services. Real Estate agent, Michelle Martinez managed my transaction. She was very efficient and very professional. She guided me every step of the way till the deal was closed. She is very courteous and pleasant person to do business with. I recommend her and Olde Town Brokers very much. They took care of all my needs and answered questions in a professional manner.

Olde Town Brokers "Sleazy" Steve lives up to his name. Anyone that has worked with Steve will tell you that he will say anything to get you to rent/have him manage your property. For a luxury realty business they operate like slumlords squeezing every penny from tenants & owners. Here are a few specific examples: Moved into home day one and had roaches. Steve called them "Palmetto bugs" and insisted I would have to pay for pest control, I literally hadn't moved in yet.

House was missing window screens and in Florida its nice to open the windows sometimes. When I asked Steve for help he asked me if screens are "necessary" and implied it was a tenant responsibly, this finally got resolved after 6 weeks. Dishwasher stopped working and I had to reach out and remind Steve of the problem multiple times. After a month of washing my dishes by hand they replaced it with the absolute cheapest model available.

Finally asking for a rent reduction because of COVID-19, Steve said he could only do $1550 because I was a good paying tenant, never late or short ever. When I asked for 1500 he said no and I found someone else to live. He then lists the same property for 1500 because no one would pay the $1600 I was paying before, what a way to kick someone while they are down Steve. If you want a luxury experience go somewhere this place is a slum lord operation. If you list your property to rent from them you'll find out soon enough.

Olde Town Brokers is fantastic! We've been tenants with John Abbott for six years now and I can safely say I've never worked with a better property manager! He's been readily available and responsive to our needs, and even called to check on us (not just the house) before and after Hurricane Irma. Always a professional and a class act all the way!

Noelle LeBlanc is FANTASTIC! She made the process of finding a new place so easy for my husband and I. Noelle took the time to do the leg work before we met and because of that we were able to find the perfect condo the first time out. There was a lot of competition for the home and her expertise and advice gave us the edge we needed to make a good impression on the owner. She is very responsive to calls, emails, and texts, and she's a lot of fun, too! 5 STARS!

Steve has been by FAR a HUGE blessing to my Husband and I. From helping us find a rental, which we did right away, to then helping us transition into buying our first home, he was there from beginning to end. He even helped with issues that had to do with the rental we had in speaking with the property manager for us when issues arose, since we did not know the laws.

He spent day and night helping us for almost 2 years, to find the perfect first home, he studied what we liked, didn't like, area we wanted to stay in, and he even helped us literally line for line during the loan process, when he did not have to. He and his wife both poured their hearts into my husband and I and we feel that he has been a true blessing in our lives.

We built a lifelong business relationship with he and Eileen and I would recommend him to anyone and everyone looking top purchase their home. Steve, thank you just isnt enough for what you have done for both Austin and I. We appreciate everything, and we are sad to not speak to you every single day during the hunting process, even after hours, you made sure to be there every step of the way. Thank you for everything and for helping us to not only get our 1st home, but our DREAM HOME!

We had the unfortunate experience of dealing with this shady business conducting company. The absolutely disrespectful agent lied to my face about pricing and tried to shake down an 6k+ while never bothering to call owners or process all our paperwork. Called and complained to management and nothing was done other then a call from said agent saying it was our fault for misunderstanding. Disgusting unprofessional behavior and this company should be ashamed to represented by such an individual.

My wife and I had a poor experience with Olde Town Brokers. We felt at times they were unresponsive and unprofessional. There was water damage to a door into the home we were renting through them. This resulted in bugs getting into this house as the wood had rotted right through. After making Olde Town aware of this, we repeatedly were told repairs were coming for months but they were never done.

I would highly recommend this Agency, and Sue-Bee Laginess in particular. Sue-Bee helped me find service providers to prepare my old house for sale, and sold it for me quickly. She also has an excellent breadth of knowledge with the downtown area, which is where I was looking. I didn't know much about the neighborhoods, and she was able to guide me to the perfect location and home for my needs. She was always available, and was extremely professional in all of our dealings. Thank you so much, Sue-Bee, for all of your hard work. it is so appreciated!

Brian is amazing! I initially called Olde Town Brokers about renting a home for my wife and I. I asked about buying a home instead and it was all history from there. 4 years later we used Brian to secure a new office for my marketing company. He spent all the time necessary to send us the best options available. He was always available to at least text me back within minutes of a request and he really cares about helping you make the right choices. I will always work these guys for any real estate stuff I need. Thanks Brian!

Working with Olde Town Brokers has been easy, and very sufficient which is important in renting a home. I contacted John Abbott, and immediately he was responsive in scheduling an appointment for a showing. The same day of the scheduling we became new renters! We moved in last weekend, and it has continued to be a positive experience. We look forward to working with John, and Olde Town Brokers! Thank you for helping us find an amazing new home in a great area :

I always get great real estate guidance from Maria Blanchard. She's an experienced professional who really knows her market. She's helped us purchase, sell and manage property with exceptional results.

Would not recommend this company to my worst enemy. Doug Prince was a nightmare to deal with and highly condescending. Actually felt sorry for homeowner that entrusted her property to this company and their representative. Unprofessional does not come close to my experience 000 in the star rating.

Very unresponsive Realty Company. Zero stars if possible. We are moving back to Orlando, & we wanted to rent for approx a year. there are 2 properties that we were interested in. We are originally from Orlando, but jobs have taken us elsewhere, but we're coming back & know the area. 3231 E Crystal Lake Dr, Orl, 32806. Called, left 2 msgs for realtor - name on listing.

After no response, I called the realty office, they connected us to some extension, left another message. This was going on 2 wks ago. Never heard back. Property still shows as available. Has been for RENT for approx 45 days. think they want to sell it, as opposed to renting? If so, it shouldn't be listed as a rental. E. Crystal Lake 32812 is a Hot area at the moment. 3007 Leslie Dr, Orlando, 32806. Orig rent $2,100, they reduced to $1,975.

We called about the property when price was reduced, actually same day & were told "OH WE HAVE A PENDING SALE ABOUT TO GO THROUGH ON THIS PROPERTY". Property online doesn't show as pending, it shows RENTAL. Interesting, because the following is also one of their listings (maybe different offices, but same area of town) Hmm, think they want to sell it, as opposed to renting? Actually, we have family that lives in 32812, and they drove by house last night (3/28) and usually when a house is under contract, it has a sign with pending, or SOLD.

This area is selling, so my guess is that's what they want. TAKE IT OFF MARKET AS RENTAL. Third, 5124 Jetsail Dr, Orl 32812. Rental. This one does show as pending (but Leslie Dr doesn't?) I cringe when I find a property online handled by this realty company. All the good reviews are from buyers, not renters. They might consider dropping rentals as something they provide, because as far as I can tell, it's not something they're interested in doing.

Our selling experience with realtor, Jacob McAfee, was nothing short of wonderful. This was an estate sale with four different family members as title holders. What could have been a very difficult and upsetting fiasco was managed seamlessly by Jacob. His patience with each of us was unwavering and he went out of his way to remain in constant communication with us, individually and collectively.

The professional photos he set up beautifully showcased the home and his guidance in preparing it for sale kept us in line with our end goals. Sold for full asking price! Jacob's knowledge, professionalism, and dedication to his clients are top notch. We confidently recommend him and look forward to working with him in the future.

Our realtor, Bart, took the most amazing pictures of our home. The professionalism of these pictures helped to sell our home in one weekend for asking price! He helped us through the whole buying/selling process. Cool guy and great realtor!

EXTREMELY unsatisfied with this company. I would give zero stars if I could. I was looking for a rental property with my boyfriend and the property manager would not return our calls or have the decency to update us with our status, instead she pawned it off to her friend. Very upset that we were upfront with an outstanding bill (not related to rental) on my boyfriends credit and they told us it wasn't a big deal because we were well over the income, took our application fee, ran our credit, and denied us because of that said bill. Hello, we had the decency to tell you UP FRONT and apparently you don't care about it, just looking to take renters money on app fees with no regards to anything. Will definitely not rent with these agents. I suggest you find some honest agents that aren't out to take your money and not return your calls.

Our real estate services through Donald Harkins have been amazing, he is by far the best realtor we came across in our search to buy a home in Orlando. He is incredibly familiar with Downtown Orlando, College Park, and the surrounding areas and is knowledgeable about the housing market. He was EXTREMELY patient with us (two very picky girls with crazy schedules) and helped making an otherwise hard process easier than expected.

He went above and beyond to show us homes that fell into our criteria and took it upon himself to pick out and show us five or six at a time. Sometimes if we liked a home he would show it to us a couple of times to allow my girlfriend's parents to see it as well, and if that's not amazing customer service I'm not sure what is. He returns phone calls quickly which made the whole offer making process so much less stressful and because he was so easy to get a hold of it allowed us to see houses when my girlfriend and I's schedule allowed which was great.

He was also really gay friendly which was important to us as we met with a realtor or two before meeting Don that treated us like we were roommates instead of a couple. We are in contract for our new home now and he helped us pick out the best inspectors in town. He even met with our potential contractors which was great because he asked questions we would not have thought to ask. I highly recommend contacting Don if you are thinking about buying a house in the near future. I know when we buy our next home, he will be our first call!

This company overall is just poor in costumer service and professionalism. Apparently, there is no one regulating realtors and their treatment of select tenants. Upon calling the office be prepared to get the run around as no one is willing to take responsibility. In regards to Rob specifically be sure to document every interaction in fine detail because he is as flaky as they come.

Be prepared for a flip-flop in his responses (if you get one) between yourself and the owner of the property. He serves as a very poor liaison and only has his interests at heart. He is a slippery snake. Olde Town is a not a good company to deal with and overall the equivalent of a migraine. Choose wisely. elsewhere.

This is regarding Dottie Kelley, a realtor at this agency. I attempted to rent a property from her and had the most horrible experience. She confused me with another renter, gave me the wrong information, and then became nasty and abusive when I tried to rectify the situation. I have never before or since had such a negative experience with anyone before.

This review is for Bob Sanders, who managed a property I was renting from Olde Town Brokers. Bob has been nothing but amazing the two years I rented a property downtown. All maintenance requests were fulfilled within hours, he was highly flexible when I needed to move out of the apartment, and he's been, truly, nothing buy a joy to work with these last two years. I highly recommend working with him if you're in the market for a rental in the Orlando area. I hope my next realtor is half as good as he is.

They (Rob Gaudreau) managed my property for about three years. The management of the property was terrible. The tenants had stopped paying rent and they did nothing about it. The property had been badly damaged and even after I requested their help in cleaning it, they did nothing to fix it. It is not like I was asking them to pay for the repairs, they were so incompetent that nothing would ever get done.

I had several calls with Mr. Gaudreau and what he told me is that they have too many houses to manage to be able to help me. They are just there to collect the rent and take their cut. At the end, I had to bring another company to take care the property. Mr. Gaudreau also kept the security deposit and gave me the run-around, to this day I have not seen my money.

I guess I should have gotten this Steve guy. I contacted them about a house, and explained when I'm moving and the fact that I'm out of state (NYC). The whole time it seemed like I was bothering them. Then she asked if I can come down and see it tomorrow, obviously she wasn't listening to what I just told her. I later had a friend check out the place for me.

I paid the app fee and reservation fee (to take it off the market while the paperwork goes through). I understand the app fee is not refundable but the reservation fee is. It's been a week, and I still haven't gotten my refund. I desperately need it to go towards the new place I found without these people. Not only that, but they told me that even though I paid that fee, the house remained on the market and was being shown to other people while my paperwork was going through. Not happy at all.

This review is specific to my realtor, Steve Schiffer, of Olde Town Brokers in downtown Orlando. Steve was recommended to me by a friend who was using him. Steve specializes in the downtown area, however, we have been using him to find a house in the Conway area and the 32806 zip code. He was honest in telling us upfront that the area in which we are looking is not his specialty.

That has not mattered! Steve has held our hand through this time-consuming and difficult process. He has explained every little detail along the way and put in hours of face-to-face time with us. He has showed us his recommendations for houses as well as showed ones that we found online. Steve is very good about letting you explore the house yourself and not giving opinions unless you solicit them.

He is very easy to get in touch with and always returns phone calls and e-mails in a timely manner. This is probably the single most important thing when looking for a house.good communication with the realtor! I have burdened Steve with zillions of questions and never once has he been frustrated or annoyed, despite the repeat questions on the same subject.

He tells you never to apologize for questions and to call or e-mail anytime for answers. He is true to his word. We are close to closing on a house and Steve has been an integral and necessary part of the process. Without him, we would have been lost. If you need a good realtor in the Orlando area, call Steve Schiffer!
