Albert Brimelow
First time renting out property and has been a very rewarding experience using Elliot & EijoRichard has been very responsive, efficient, communicative and does not blow sunshine which is very important when looking for a manager. Would certainly recommend then to anyone.Alan Brimelow

Great company to have as your landlord. The maintenance service is excellent and they really accommodate to your needs and schedule. Very please with the experience overall.
Lyne Kuehl
They have been wonderful. Worked with us for rent during this COVID mayhem. Had a bad stove, was done in 24 hours. Had our air go out today, they have an AC guy that will be here by 4pm. Less than 4 hours after I asked for maintenance. Super friendly and very down to earth. Best property management company I have worked with.
Natalie Torres
Wonderful company to lease with. Very easy process from start to finish. Since my lease is over, the office has been outstanding with communication during the pandemic. Thank you Barbara for answering my questions at odd hours of the day!
Alisa Robbins
Richard and his team handled the rental of my property and recently the sale. The property management promptly responded to any issues the tenant had and fixed without me worrying for one minute.When I decided to sell Richard and his team handled getting everything fixed and ready to put on the market. Had a buyer fall thru and Richard quickly put it back up and found a buyer short time later.I couldn't ask for a better company who is completely professional and kept me fully informed from day one.Highly recommend for property management or to sell your property.

For long years I’ve lived in my townhouse that I rented through the property management. And I must say out of all the places I have ever rented and did business before this is one of the most outstanding places here in Lakeland. I never had a problem ever any time there is any maintenance issues or concerns with the place or with appliances I was always able to put in a request to maintenance and it would be handled within 24 hours with whatever it was completed fixed replaced and done. I doubt mostly with Barbara in the office at any time I had a question concerning our comment and I will say their professionalism their courtesy is amazing unfortunately the owner of my property decided to sell and when I say I was in tears I literally were in tears I wanted to live where I was at for at least another 2 to 3 years because of how comfortable I was the property was safe the company was amazing and everything was taken care of. My house was inspected around 2 to 3 times a year they always made sure even though the owner I never met or never talk to that everything was kept up to par appliances worked I was happy with things like the paint the carpet everything. I really enjoyed my neighborhood because it was safe it was convenient and like I said if you ever have an issue even if you couldn’t contact them through the app you could contact their office and they were quick to get whatever it was taken care of and then they follow up was outstanding as well. I am sad to go but I will say if you’re ever in the market to rent or buy please really look into them they are amazing and anyone who says otherwise I would look into the history I always paid my rent on time for four years never an issue and I was treated like one of their number one customers. They even accommodated me with moving early and making sure that I wasn’t displaced or inconvenience. I think they’re 100% for the years of taking care of everything me and my family needed and I look forward to doing business with them in the future you should too
Mary Soria
Very professional and friendly staff. I have been managing my own properties for years and have recently felt overwhelmed with the task of finding and screening prospective tenants. The team at Elliott and Eijo found me the perfect tenants in no time. They also got $200 more a month for me! Worth every penny. Thanks guys!
Carol Chase
This is the best agency I have worked with and i have several properties in different states. I have had good property managers and very bad ones so please feel confident with my review, this is one of the GOOD ones!! I had a mess on my hands due to the previous manager and also have a challenging tenant. They stepped right up and handled it for me with great communication and online tools! I HIGHLY recommend, and NO i am not being paid or incented in any way to write this review and yes I actually use this firm and highly recommend you try them out too! You won't be sorry (like I was with my previous manager for the exact same costs!)
Dan Berberette
We have been with Elliott Realty for over two years. They address our concerns and have been very good and on-time with our payments. They contact the proper people when repairs are needed and address all our concerns. THEY DO NOT PAY FOR US TO BE THEIR CUSTOMER LIKE SOMEBODY APPARENTLY SAID. Very Unfair. These people are excellent! We are very glad we chose Elliott Realty and strongly advise using their services if you plan to have your property managed.

I have been associated with Mr. Eliott and Mr Eijo since 2008. First I was helped to purchase an investment property in 2008, and I was helped to sell the investment property in 2019. Both deals went through smoothly. In the interim, the Firm acted as my property manager. I cannot praise the team enough for the way they handled the property through the years. They were allowed to make small, or necessary repairs without contacting me. However, for anything other than an ordinary work order, I received word immediately and was called upon to make a decision. The workmen they were able to contact always performed any work timely and well. All work was documented with photos. I was also able to contact the very competent office staff for assistance on any matter or question. It is with pleasure that I recommend the Eliott and Eijo Group for any of your real estate needs.
Jeanne Dalen
Wehave been using S&D Real Estate for several years to manage our rental Properties. We are also using them to sell one of our houses. They have been top notch! Always professional, quick to respond, quick to take care of maintenance needs. They have placed good tenants and retained them. One weekend we needed a re-key on a home. They responded immediately-over the weekend- and took care of the issue. We have been so very happy with their service. We recommend them whole-heartedly.
Angel Hernandez
Had a problem with our well water. They were very prompt in resolving the issue for now. Hoping a permanent fix can be made before it happens again, but I have no reason to believe they will not take care of it. So far a great experience with this rental management company!
Michelle Hicks
We really enjoy our home, and neighborhood. It's perfect for us and fits all of our needs .The people they hire/retain to do work on the property are always clean working,polite and efficient .Their communication is great and the people who make any home visits are pleasant and professional .They make resolving maintenance issues easy with so many ways to contact them. This rental experience so far has been really enjoyable for our family .
Heather Harrison
Richard and his team were beyond helpful and polite. I spoke with Richard about renting my home, he explained everything thoroughly and was extremely patient with me being new to rental properties and not understanding all of it. The best part about this company is that a week after talking to him and drawing up papers I decided to not rent my home. Honestly, I was expecting Richard to be annoyed with me and very short however that was the furthest from how he was. Richard was extremely nice and understanding and wished me well!!! I will recommended Richard and his team to anyone and everyone looking for someone to manage their rental properties.
Jodi Allen
Julia P. Has always been accessible to answer any questions, goes above and beyond to ensure that my questions are answered. That things are appropriately laid out that I feel at home in my home, not that I’m just in a rental property that it’s my home! She makes sure that if I need something it’s corrected right away, if I have a question she answers it or says you know what that’s a great question I’ll get right back to you and she gets right back to me. Julia is an amazing asset to the company and I am so thankful to be able to work with her when things are needed.
Shawnt'a Burgess
My husband and I have been with this realtor for years. We've never had an issue and the only reason we moved realtors is because we relocated to Georgia in 2019. Even after relocating, till this day if we reach out for anything they are still as helpful as possible. We appreciate everyone here and their hard work.
Matt Rupe
We had a Christmas party at the house and our toilet stopped working and wouldn't shut off. The Elliot and Eijo Group got someone there on a Sunday during the holidays and got it fixed very quickly for us. We appreciate the effort and results this group provides for us.
Liadanay Basulto
This rental company is amazing, they are attentive, quick with any needs. I'm very grateful to Barbara at this office, she always went out of her way to help me no matter the time or day. Recommend them to anyone looking.
Scott Nichols
I found them friendly and easy to work with. I was impressed with their implementation and use of modern electronic communications. The only reason I ever had to go into the office was to pickup the garage door remote. When I needed to get out of my lease early, they worked with me to quickly find another renter.
Rich & Peg Warren
We have been professionally involved with John-Micheal and Richard Eijo and their staff for over 16 years! We could not begin to adequately express our appreciation for their personal and professional treatment of our rental property. Every repair, every lease renewal or rental turnover was made effortless through their professional attention to detail and their staff’s organizational and communication excellence. Today we say goodbye to our long and rewarding relationship w/the Elliott/Eijo Group after undergoing a seamless, effortless and rewarding sale to this amazing team!A five star recommendation is a no brainer for us. We will miss them all.
Vessy Lipton
This is our second year lease with Elliott & Eijo Group. They have been great with all of our maintenance requests. Very quick response to our inquiries and we never waited long for anything to get fixed.
Holly Piccola
The most professional property management team that I have ever dealt with. Their application and screening process was great. I love their tenant portal. It is a pleasure to rent from them.
William Pong
These property managers are amazing. Barbara is super on top of everything. Recently we were getting violations from HOA stating that our house exterior was dirty. After sending an email to the Elliot and Eijo Group, Barbara sent a pressure cleaner right away and also spoke with the HOA team directly to get it resolved. Super quick turn-around. Great for out-of-state rental investors.
Paula O
I was moving from out of state and had to find a rental property rather quickly. Julia was so helpful and understanding. I was looking at several properties with other realty firms but was not getting a great response from them. Julia and the office were very quick at responding and answering all my questions. Moving is always stressful but Julia and her team seemed to make the process very smooth. The team is very professional and they go the extra mile to take care of your concerns. I would highly recommend this company and plan on using them to purchase my next home. Paula O.
Edwin Bonano
Richard Eijo and his partner managed my property in Lakeland, FL for 11 years, since 2008. In these 11 years, I never had an issue that his team couldn’t resolve. Richard and his team were always professional, attentive, resourceful, and always available. Richard just represented me as the seller realtor for that same property that he has managed for 11 years; and as usual, he delivered with the same professionalism that I have become accustomed to. I highly recommend Richard Eijo and his team to any real estate need that you might have, whether if is to sell your home or to manage it. You will not regret it! Thank you, Richard, for having me as your client for these past 11 years.
manhattanbori
My spouse and I have been working with this company for a year now and it has been great. We rented a condo through them and then we ended up using the same company to buy a home. They were always available when we needed them and were always on the side of the customer making sure everything ran smoothly. They are friendly and all around good service. Thank you Elliot & Eijo (Richard) for helping us find a home to grow and raise our family in.
Ron DeStefano
Elliott & Eijo Group have handled the property management for my Florida properties for years. They have always kept my properties occupied and kept them in good repair. The contractors they use are reasonably priced and appear to do good work. Now selling some of my properties and they again have been excellent. Properties we're sold quickly and for a good price. I highly recommend this company.
Charlene Bester
Great experience with this company so far! Very professional, attentive, and just gets the job Done! This group found a tenant for my property within 2 days & helped me get the property ready quickly. I am very pleased! Thanks guys!!!
CJ Mazzone Edwards
John and Elliot are remarkable at what they do! I inquired about renting a house. They were very friendly and gave me numerous rental options within my price range. I would highly recommend them to those looking to rent or buy!
CoryT9783
My parents currently rent a home with Elliott & Eijo. They are elderly and sometimes need more help with paying their rent and with maintenance. The office staff is always friendly and Barbara is very patient with them. Anytime they need maintenance it’s handled quickly. Thank you for the professional service you provide
Taylor Caffey
I have been a working with Richard and John Micheal for several years now and I can honestly say that they serve their client with the utmost professionalism. They don’t upsale but they work for the buyer by showing homes that meet their needs and negotiate the terms of each property contract in a way that benefits their clients and not themselves. I couldn’t recommend a better team if you are looking to buy, sell or rent.
Amy Duong
The team at Elliott & Eijo are amazing. I went from a management company that was not responsive, lost track of my rent, and did not take care of my tenant to a company who 100% made sure the property, the tenant and I were all taken care of. Love their communication and attention to detail. I would recommend them to anyone needing a trustworthy management company or agent.
Jordan Schaefer
We used to rent from this management company and only moved because of a job transfer out of town. If we ever needed to call them they were always very fast at returning our calls. Any maintenance things called in were quickly handled. Barbara was a great person to always contact for whatever we needed. We would definitely rent from them again
Karen Schroyer
Our daughter found Elliott & Eijo thru a very good friend and used them for their property mgmt services for a year before deciding to sell her home. Barbara was extremely helpful with answering all questions anytime she needed answers. She then decided to let Elliott & Eijo list her home. Richard Eijo was the best with walking them thru step by step until the closing. We came into a home that we wanted to rent out. We knew immediately that with the excellent experience she had we would also use Elliott and Eijo. Barbara always goes above and beyond to be there for us. They state they take care of each home like it is their own We can vouch that truly is the case
Susan Dresher
Elliott and Eijo is a professional property management company whose administrator took a big problem off my hands when the company took over from a another property mgmt co. They took on a mess from the last company. We were not getting our payments on time and were not keeping me up-to date with rents or issues. I am now so happy to be with E and E as they respond to my requests or questions, take care of all the previous problems and are always ahead of the problem before it arises. This is the BEST management I have ever worked with. I am Speaking from experience as I own 10 houses in different parts of the US for over 10 years.
Nya Jonez
We’ve Been Renting from this company for over a year now and Hands down this is the best experience we’ve ever had!! The Staff is very Professional and very Personable 🙌🏾
Affordable Appliance
We love working with this company, they make the process seamless from sending in work orders to processing payments. This is how B2B Relationships should work. Very honest and reliable people.

Tiffy Cake
I moved in about 6 months ago using Elliott & Eijo’s property management office. I just wanted to complement them on their professionalism, and how easy they made the move. This has been the best experience I’ve had when using a property management office. I was having problems using my tenant portal, and when I reached out to Barbara even on a weekend day she was there to help me. I wouldn’t have been able to pay my rent on time without her. Thank you for being there for your tenants and being so professional! Definitely would recommend this company when trying to find your new rental home.
Denise Rogers
A first class company complete with personal touches! John-Michael, Richard and their staff are fantastic with every tiny detail. They go above and beyond making clients feel great about the choice to use them.
Laura Greaney
I am beyond satisfied with this property management company. The first week i rented my new build I had a leak caused by the new dishwasher that damaged my cabinet. They immediately addressed the issue and had the responsible company fix both the damaged cabinet and the leak. I then had a tenant break the lease and they got a new family in there without missing a beat. I feel i am in good hands. Kudos specifically to Barbara Elliot who is always so prompt and professional!! Many thanks!!!
Karl Sachs
The property Elliott and Eijo sold for me was a rental property in Lake Wales; my home is in California. After talking with Richard via telephone I immediately felt comfortable that this company would go to bat for me and have my back. This proved to be true in their experience, character and honesty. As a Pastor, these qualities were important to me. I highly recommend Elliott and Eijo Real Estate Group to any prospective buyer or seller.
kirk sager
I have used Richard Eijo as my realtor 3 times, once as a renter(he is the best property manager I ever rented from) Once as a buyer and just this month as a seller. I can tell you that in every case he was professional, always on top of things and communicating with me. His advice and experience was always spot on and worked to my advantage. I found him by accident the 1st time as a renter, but chose him the 2nd and 3rd time as my agent for buying and selling, because he simply goes above and beyond and really cares. His partner John Elliott even helped at times as well. You can tell they are a great team. Thanks again for everything Richard!
Rick Miller
I used Richard's services the first time back in 2007. He helped my kids and I find the perfect house in the perfect location. He was always available and made the process very easy. He was the easy choice when I remarried and bought a new house in 2016. He listened to what we were looking for and helped us find an amazing home and property. The house we purchased was only on the market a few days and had more than one offer on it. We smile on a regular basis sitting on the front porch of our log cabin overlooking the park like setting. Richard, thanks for working so hard and getting us our dream home!!
Phillip Bayt
Need unsurpassed real estate experts to handle any of your real estate deals? Look to the Elliot & Eijo Real Estate Group. We have used John-Michael and Richard for several types of real estate transactions over the years-- purchases, sales and property management. No one outclasses this team. They are very knowledgeable and thorough through every aspect of the transaction. Take all the stress away as well. At the end of the day, you’ll be happy you had John-Michael and Richard in your corner!
Rick Opalka
I've been with these gentlemen for a long time. They are professional and a pleasure to deal with. They always do what they say they will. I always get a return call from one of them the same day, and half the time they take the first call. And, I always get to deal with them directly not a receptionist. They always keep my house rented with good paying tenants. What else can I say, their great!!!! They have my business for life

The cream of the crop! If you have a rental property and want not only the experts, but a mgr that truly cares about your property and has all the high tech tools and local connections to make your investment safe and easy, look no further! I wish everyone used firms like them so all the subpar management firms would be run out of business! I learned a hard, hard lesson letting a lazy, unprofessional firm manage my property too long! Folks I can not recommend Elliott & Eijo enough! And costs were the same? I mean seriously- if you have a property in Lakeland area switch now! I am SOOO glad I did! Wish I would have long ago. It pays big time to choose the right mgr, there are so many bad ones out there!
Greg Olmstead
This group is absolutely amazing!They have an amazing team, dedicated on helping people.Their customer service they provide is top-notch. I've personally done plenty of work for them and seeing how much they care about their clients, again is fantastic.They definitely take care of their clients! If you're searching for a home or in need of a property management company, do yourself a favor and look no further.I highly recommend them!
Gerri Doyon
I have had my property managed by Richard for almost 5 years. They came highlighly recommended by a friend. My house has never been vacant and rent has never been late. I have had 2 tenants and both have taken care of my house. I was super hesitant to rent out my house but it has been a really great experience. Richard has been very helpful in making various decisions about my house (rent levels, changes to my home, etc). The team is super responsive and take care of any concerns for either me or my tenants. If Richard is not available, I always can reach out to Barbara for help. She is Richard's go to person. They have also connected us with vendors/contractors to do work around our primary residence which has been incredibly helpful. We just rented out our second house with them. They make the process super easy and worth every penny.
John Diaz
My wife and I just closed on our first house about a week ago. We felt so lucky to have Richard Eijo as our realtor who exceeded our expectations for what a realtor could be. He did not pressure us at all throughout the whole process and was a tremendous resource to ensure we got the house we wanted. I would highly recommend Richard Eijo of Elliot and Eijo Real Estate Group to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. I have in fact already recommended his services to family and friends.
Yoon Shin
I recently became a landlord, and I was hesitant at first because people I knew has had bad experiences with property management before. Considering that it was our first home (with all of its sweet memories) that was to become a rental unit, we were scared of the negative possibilities. Would the tenant trash our house? Will they renegade on their payments? Few months into the rental, we can't be happier that we partnered with John-Michael and Richard. They truly have the best intentions of the landlords (and the tenants) in mind. They are professional, and they make sure to find the right tenants, so to minimize headaches in the future. They are also landlords themselves, so they can both empathize and sympathize with their clients. Whoever goes with them will not be disappointed.
Andrea Boyer Reed
My husband and I had been looking for a house for almost 2 years. We had very specific needs and it was not an easy find. We had talked with several realtors but no one had taken a proactive approach. One day we drove past a house and called the realtor on the sign. John-Michael Quickly set up a time to show us the house. After the showing we discussed our needs and that we didn't have anyone proactively searching for us. He started searching. He stayed in contact. He was always willing to show when we asked! We valued his expertise and diligence... we found a friend:) We also found a house and then he continued to be more than diligent to negotiate on our behalf. Between him and our Lending Agent, Jennifer Rowell at Atlantic Bay Mortgage, we closed in 30 days!!! We closed on Tuesday and he continues to be a source of expertise and help. I can't tell you how much I appreciate his work ethic and friendship. Thank you John-Michael! Happy to leave you a 5-star rating!!!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Patricia Stewart Roberts
John and Richard (and their office administrator, Barb) of Elliott & Eijo Real Estate Group manage two properties for us. One property, is located in Winter Park, Florida, and I serve as power of attorney for my mother, who is in an assisted living. Because we depend on the income from this property to assist in my mother's care-there are different issues and considerations in managing it than there are on our Lakeland rental property. These guys have been excellent in working with us and making sure everything is taken care of. We would certainly recommend them.
Cheri Robertson
I love these guys! I worked with them on the title company side and I know how they operate. They rented my house in Lakeland and I never had to worry about a thing. Which was great since I moved a couple hours away from the area. Would highly recommend them for property management or real estate needs.
Diane Zechman
I have had Elliot & Eljo Real Eatate for almost 3 years now. They are great!!!! They are on top of things and had my property rented at one point and time, where one rentor was moving out and had another rentor ready to move in. Very happy with them, and very affordable. Thank you Elliot and Eljo.
Michael McCastlain
I have been very pleased with this company. We have been utilizing them for our rental property for over three years now. They are quick to respond to problems and I trust them to make the right decisions and to give us good advice considering we are new at renting out our property. If you are looking for someone to manage your property, you should definitely call them.
Roberta Weiner Mancillas
They were highly recommended to me by a neighbor and they found a renter for me within a couple of weeks and everything has been great and running smoothly. I have since recommended them to others. If I get another rental unit, they will continue to be my go-to managers.
Mike Branche
These Guys are awesome, I have 27 rental units which they kept absolutely full! In the last three years, I Had one vacancy , and they had it rented before the old tenant moved out! Vacant for "2 days" so in just the last three years alone, I've basically had no vacancies! Seven of the buidings are duplexes (14 units) which are harder to keep full, but they did it. I would highly recommend these guys! They got me great tenants! Five (5x) of my homes have been rented by the same people for 5 years! Awesome ! I told Richard and John if anyone has any doubts to call me!
Steven Long
John and Richard have been first class from the time we spoke about doing business together. They not only did property management for me but they also sold me a property that I was renting from them which made it very convenient. I would highly recommend Elliott & Eijo!
Laura Serke
John and Rich have been life savers in managing my property after I moved. I have worked with other property management companies, but they are truly the best! They are professional, knowledgeable, and very efficient in all they do. It's a great peace of mind! I highly recommend them.
Kim Clos
John and Richard are both great guys and were a delight to work with. They were patient with us and helped us find our last house two years ago and we love it! In the future whenever we're ready to buy again, they will certainly be the people we go to. Anytime a friend or family member mentions looking for a house or trying to sell theirs, I automatically tell them about John and Richard. They will take great care you!
Pat Riley
We've been clients for 2 years and are very please with Richard and Johns professionalism. Expenses are managed like it's ther money, records are provided monthly along with a yearly summarry making tax reporting a breeze. Would highly recommend them for your real estate management company.
Osmany Mondaca
Rich and John are true professionals. I referred them some clients for property management and they took great care of them. I will continue to refer them all my rentals fro property management service in his area. Thanks!
