The principals and its agents of the VHR Business lack professionalism and ignore the details required in renting out homes which have not been fully prepared. After five months of vacating the property my credit report shows a negative mark stating that I did not pay $875.00 which is completely untrue. Nor did I ever receive communication from VHR indicating that there was any monies due. The property was vacated on time and left in excellent condition, better than when we moved in twelve months earlier only to find roof rats and field mice in the home. Our initial move in date was delayed by one month. The whole experience was negative and I would not recommend VHR to any one in the future.

First of all, the house we rented from VHR was beautiful. The only problem was that the property was not maintained well outside and inside i.e. plumbing and lighting. VHR had the audacity to tell us that we needed to repair dying bushes and make the outside code compliant. If we were novice at rental properties, we would have been taken in and fixed it but as had owned our own home previously and currently also have rental properties, we knew better. We pushed back and told them it is not our responsibility to make this house to something that did not look when we signed the lease. If it was maintained, yes we will follow suit. 2 months into this lease, we decided to leave. We asked Alina for help to find another place but she said she doesn't have any. Although, we looked online and approached other realtors and we did find a couple in the same neighborhood. Needless to say, of course she did not want to help. The house had issues with plumbing, the bathroom shower never got warm enough. Air conditioning of the next door neighbor was right next to the MBR and it was so loud it just woke us up all night. At any rate, we know we forfeited the security but never would we have guess that we wil be charge for the lawn maintenance that they should have done in the first place. We are getting charged for painting and some bogus claim of repairs etc. We stayed 2-3 months that that hosue was hardly lived in and we left it similar to how we got it. It is incredible how unscrupulous business Alina runs. The neighbors were also aloof/standoffish and always had a certain look when we were there. Another reason, we decided to leave. It was not a very welcoming neighborhood.

I have been dealing with Virtual Homes Realty for 9 years now and am very happy with the service. Alina and her team are professional, friendly and funny. I have never had any problems. Issues that did come up were taken care off immediately. Thank Alina!

DO NOT RENT FROM VIRTUAL HOMES REALTY

I recently ended my lease with Virtual Homes Realty and i felt taken advantage of. When we moved in I wrote a checklist of all the problems with the home. On the top of my list was the fact that the house was not painted but there were certainly evidence of paint brush smudges all over the house to cover stains. Poor workmanship. I decided not to renew after two years and have always paid my bills on time only to find out VHR will do everything in their power to tack on outrageous fees for clean up and make ready repairs for next tenant. That said I can only provide a VERY POOR recommendation for this company. READ YOUR contract carefully and don't be a victim like i was. Good Luck!

I first met Alina and the Virtual Homes team shortly after moving to Palm Coast several years ago after relocating from South Florida.

Her team showed my wife and I many great houses and we quickly found just the right home. When family members decided to join us in this fantastic community, they also used Virtual Homes and had nothing but good things to say about the team and Alina in particular. Since living here, I have been in contact with many property managers and Realtors and have found that Virtual Homes is one of those Rare Companies in today's market that will:

1. Answer the phone

2. Return calls

3. Respond to YOUR needs

4. Be Pro-Active in dealing with the normal day-to-day things involved with maintaining a home.

Its no small wonder that Virtual Homes has such a great reputation, success and growth.

I would never recommend this place. When we were leaving our property they charged us a bunch of fees for problems that were wrong with the house when we first rented it. When we brought it to their attention they said we needed to mail in a complaint but that they probably wouldn't refund us anyways because they gave us a "discount" on our cleaning fee and that if they took off the "fees" the money would just go to the cleaning fee. They are scam artists. I'd rate them with no stars but to comment you have to give at least one.

I have worked with Alina on several deals. Throughout these experiences, it is clear to me that Alina provides outstanding service to her clients. Virtual Homes Realty are not just interested in getting the deal closed, as is the case with many other brokers in FL. Instead, they truly care about their clients' needs and make sure that their clients are completely satisfied. We try to do the same in our business and it is very refreshing to work with real estate brokers who have the same professionalism.I would recommend Alina and her team to anyone.

I had a wonderful experience working with Alina Pekarsky at Virtual Homes Realty- her professionalism and dedication helped me smoothly purchase my first apartment in Palm Coast. Her guidance on what property to look for was key as a first time buyer and her access to resources is great. Having closed less than a week ago, I am looking forward to many happy memories and years in my new apartment and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her services to friends or family and would definitely use her services again in the future.

I have bounced around from agency to agency trying to find a company that was actually interested in serving my needs instead of just sending me automated emails of properties I may like. Virtual Homes Realty went above and beyond. I would recommend them.

Alina Pekarsky has been very helpful, fun and yet professional who helped me find my dream place to live in. I was content with her representation and will definitely recommend her to anyone searching for future homes. Thank you Alina

I am extremely happy with the service and follow-up I have received since renting through Virtual Homes Realty. They have taken wonderful care of us and addressed any issues we have had immediately. I would not hesitate to recommend them or continue to use them in th future. Joe, Jane and Laura have gone above and beyond.

Alina Pekarsky was great to work with! She was EXTREMELY helpful, on the ball, and efficient. I would highly recommend working with her. She found me an amazing apartment and helped me every step of the way to make it mine. She makes herself available to answer questions and promptly gets back to you. If I ever need to move again, she will be the first person I call.

I moved here from San Francisco in December and my boyfriend and I were looking for an apartment. We had a pretty tight budget and high expectations. Alina was very patient and spent a lot of time with us. She took us to a lot of different places and a lot of different neighborhoods. She ended up getting us a great place. I would highly recommend her.

I rented a property for over two years (2010-2012) with VHM and had a great experience, specifically, due to Alina's excellent service. I highly recommend her.

We purchased our home in Palm Coast in February 2012 and have been renting it through VIrtual Home Realty since then. Alina's responsive attitude during the purchase of this property from Freddie Mac was simply outstanding. The renting of the property through help of the two Lauras were also successful; with some ups and downs that were handled properly in every case. SIncerely.

I purchased my first property in Florida from Alina Pekarsky’s Virtual Homes Realty and I am in contract on my second home using VHR. I’ve owned the first house for one year and I have been using VHR for property rental services there from day-1. It was my first purchase in Florida, and I was nervous about it since I could not be on-site and as hands-on as I’d normally like. The home had an unexpected problem that needed to be repaired before the tenant moved in, and Alina and her team quickly went to work and held my hand through the process. They set up competing bids, and the issue was resolved quickly, and at a reasonable price. I just flew into town and Ida Kuzmichova, a realtor at VHR, was able to quickly set up appointments for me to visit the two properties so that I could meet the tenants and see how my investments were shaping up. Suffice it to say, I’m very pleased. Alina runs a fantastic group of real estate professionals. They always do their best, and I appreciate that they are diligent, organized and responsive. I whole-heartedly recommend them to anyone in need of real estate services in Palm Coast.

This company knows how to treat their vendors. I have been working for them for almost seven years and have always been paid in a timely manor. I have dealt with most of the agents at the office and you can't go wrong, especially with Alina Pekarsky

Wow, I am beyond impressed with Alina at Virtual Homes Realty. We needed to find a tenant and he was very easy to communicate with, quick to reply to all my questions, right on top of the whole process and did an excellent job. Within a short amount of time we had a renter placed and are good to go. I highly recommend

I rate 5 full stars because working Virtual Homes Realty for over 10 years has been just a wonderful experience. They are always upfront and professional in all aspects of our business dealings. I am truly looking forward to the next 10 years!

I've been a tenant in a property managed by Alina Pekarsky for about three years. She is a consummate professional: responsive and responsible. I recently needed some repairs to plumbing and heating systems, and she was able to arrange quick service through excellent contractors. Two thumbs up
