Agent Austin Hellickson is currently under investigation by the Department of Licensing. Skyline Properties is be reviewed by the Better Business Bureau. Be sure to check out the BBB to see multiple 1 star reviews and a complaint. My complaint is not yet posted there. My fiancé and I made an offer on the house Mr. Hellickson listed for sale. It was accepted and our contract contingent on the inspection and appraisal was signed by all parties. This signed contract was an indication to us to have the inspection and appraisal completed. We then completed and paid for the appraisal and inspection, which had satisfactory results. We signed all appropriate additional documents and liquidated assets to make cash ready for the down payment. One day before closing, we were told that the seller was putting the sale on hold. Apparently Mr. Hellickson had failed to do the initial analysis with his client to determine the price that the house would need to be sold for and what his net proceeds would be. The result was that the seller was required to come to closing with almost $33,000, which he apparently did not have. Therefore, not only did we lose the purchase of the house, but also the $1225 that we spent on the appraisal and inspection, as well as the costs to liquidate our investments. It is our position that Mr. Hellickson was grossly negligent, causing harm to us, not to mention wasting the time of our agent and lender. Statement from my lender: They didnt do their due diligence. Just looking at what they purchased the home for a couple years ago and what type of loan it was, then adding in seller costs (commissions, excise tax, etc), the total due from seller was going to higher than the sales price, regardless of them saying the payoff came in late in the process The complaint is that they did not communicate any of this with anyoneI never received any response from anyone in their office. One of the first things a realtor does is a Seller Net Proceeds. If they would have done this, the offer price would have never been accepted.

All Appliances are Broken

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I moved in Dec. 30, 2020, and have had a service call placed on EVERY appliance in this home. I have not lived here for a total of two weeks yet. Skyline was very prompt in ensuring that all my fees, deposits, etc. were paid, but clearly did not see the importance of checking the functioning of appliances.

I have been renting from skyline properties for 9 yrs now. They are reluctant to see that any repairs get done.

Will not refund deposit paid

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Booked a condo at Skyline Maderia, Maderia beach Florida with an Adrian O'Brien, paid $500 deposit . Due to the corona virus pandemic there is a ban on flying to the United States. I asked for a refund and he would not refund- then i keep messaging him and then he says we can use next time towards our rental? We may not be able to fly to Florida for years due to this pandemic and the amount of cases there. I feel he is being so unfair. I got refunds for everything else but he will not refund my money.

Skyline Properties Commercial Property Management Review

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Purchased a commercial property listed by this company. Was misrepresented by the agent Ellen. The manager Maggie agreed that they were in the wrong but stated there was nothing she could do about it. Lost thousands of dollars. Do not use this company to list or buy real estate or commercial property. They are not professional!
