• "I would not recommend this company to anyone, ever. We hired the Military Relocation Team to manage our property back in 2016 and the initial years of service were quite reasonable. Communication was noted to be suboptimal but seemingly acceptable in 2020. This included delayed responses and lack of follow through with requests on updates on the property and its maintenance. In 2024 we were notified by an uninvolved party that the house had serious maintenance issues. Efforts were made to reach out to HRMRT, Coastal Property Management LLC, and the owner Barbara Sgueglia via the owner portal and telephone and we received no reply to multiple messages for weeks. Given the concern for the property, we reach out for the first time to the current tenants to discover that despite the tenant posting notification on the portal (as directed) the heating unit had been left unrepaired by HRMRT through the winter, leaving a family including a young child without heat. Also, a pipe had burst months before and HRMRT did send a plumber to fix it but did not follow through with recommended maintenance. The property then sustained tens of thousands of dollars in water damage and mold growth, which left the house uninhabitable and is still being repaired. The tenant was restricted against reaching out to the owner as per stipulations in the lease, so without the engagement of the property management team there was no directed pathway to discover this damage. They responded within the day when notified via portal that they were fired but have yet to reply to the maintenance requests from the tenant or the owner.
  
  In short, this military servicemember found their service to be entirely unacceptable and their negligence led to poor conditions for the tenant as well as substantial damage to the house. I gave them 1 star only because this website will not allow submissions with 0 stars."

• "Barbara is not only military friendly, she is military proud, military understanding and military helpful! She knows the area and she knows a lot about military. Probably more than some military families! She gets it and really loves to help and give back to military families. She helped my hubby and I find and purchase our first home. She bought us a home warranty for our home because we are military!"
