We love the 80’s as much as any Floridian, but unlike Miami Vice, some things don’t age well in modern times. Your property management company is one of them. When comparing the top-ranked property managers in Florida, find out why you’d be better off with a contemporary alternative. It’s what Don Johnson would do.

And we found them, with a list that features companies who have been rated 4.5 stars and above, by over 100 people in the Florida rental market. But before you dive in and select from a sea of sameness, find out why Belong is changing the entire renting industry for both landlords and tenants — or as we prefer to say, homeowners and residents.
