Do not use Suncoast Property Management in Jacksonville

Do not use Suncoast Property Management in Jacksonville

I've towed the line on posting this for almost a year. At this point, I just want fellow investors to hear my experience and find another property manager.

I signed a 24 month exclusive contracts with them in 2019 which was a complete rookie move. 

Facepalm: the act of literally hitting yourself in the face with your palm out of frustration


1 property is doing ok.

1 property had a suncoast employee rent it and stopped paying after 1 month. They got evicted and caused $4,000 in damages over a 5 week span.

The 3rd property had a tenant stay for 15 months. He also trashed the place and cause $6,000 in damages. I had to sell so I replaced the HVAC and a day later it was stolen by what neighbors described as the previous tenant. Eventually it was sold at a loss.


Anyway. At this point I am 3 months away from ending my 24 month agreement on the house that was robbed. Today, Suncoast made sure to charge me $925 for ending my contract early.

When I spoke to their staff, they laughed with me over the absurdity of this charge and sent me up the chain to have it waived with the supervisor Leanord Gurney.


He said a contract is a contract.  Which is true. And I cant fault him for that. This is the end of my story.

Basically,  if you are thinking of using them as your property manager, interview others and ask them how they would react to my exact situation.

Anyway, onward and upward.

I used SunCoast for a couple of my properties. My experience was the same as others. Terrible. SunCoast has a corporate culture of lip service and excuses. I would stay away from theses guys.

    I have 3 doors that need to be managed in Jax and Citrus Spring. Can you point to any good PMs?

    Hey Amol, 

    I'm not sure if I should say, but I want to be transparent with you, I was a former Suncoast employee for 9 years. I have left to a competitor.  I can offer better property management services than what you are receiving currently. While I can help you manage your Jacksonville property, I will not be able to offer the same services for your Citrus Spring's property. However, I do have a connection who can help manage your Citrus Spring property as well. 

    If you would love to discuss, you can send me a message.

    Hi @Jeff Riber too late I paid these unethical jerks.  I think they know us remote landlords are at their mercy.  Personally, I think this company is probaby about to go out of business - they have lots of inventory, and it's not exactly prudent to be investing in FL in the coastal areas now anyway.  

    I just got another random $475 bill from them.  No invoice, no mention of what this is for.  They are so unethical!!!  :(

    Gehan Homes Ltd. acquired a majority stake in Suncoast Property Management in 2023.
