DeSimone Real Estate Services

This company is ridiculous and cares about nobody but themselves. I was renting from them several years ago- when I realized the contact had the year prior dates on them. The contact is now voided. Because it’s inaccurate. I left the property for a list of issues that aren’t even worth listing- just know it was long. Now- I’m still struggling to get it removed from my credit report. They sent me to collections for $1200 and kept my $650 security deposit even though the house needed nothing done to it in repairs and sent me to collections on something that wasn’t even a proper contact. Now my life is on hold as I can’t get approved for a mortgage or move with this on my record. Once again you did not have me in an active contract. I have attempted to dispute it and they won’t budge. I have

Easy to use website and electronic system. Apartments to Homes. Ocala, Marion County and Gainesville areas.

If I could give ZERO stars, I would. This is the absolute worst property management company in the area. They don’t fix things, or they half fix things. The staff can be downright rude. Lived there for 6 years, and I would not recommend ANY of their properties to even to my worst enemy. To top it all off, I told them I’d be moving out on September 1st. The last week of August they went into my unit, disposed all my stuff, ripped out the carpet and started to paint. I lost $400 worth of aquarium supplies that someone tossed into the dumpster and shattered. Remember they did this BEFORE my move out date. Just do yourself a favor, their rents are cheap but you’ll will deal with nothing but headache during and after being a tenant with them.

I called about an apartment and they told me that there were actually two apartments available in the same complex right next to each other. They said hurry up because they’re going to go fast. I asked what the turnaround time was on applications and she said well about 3 to 5 days. We went and saw it right after work, filled out an application and went right down to their office first thing this morning and was told it was rented. So if you had somebody already why continue to show two different apartments? Just to keep getting $50 application fees when you know it’s already going to someone else??

They’ve damaged vehicles and walked into apartments at random. Many homeless in the woods less than 50ft away from the cars and front doors that cause problem. Great place until it wasn’t.
