Report
Unprofessional, realtors are a dime a dozen. Had a scheduled showing and was told to make sure I confirmed it. I confirmed it and showed up ten minutes early and Connor never showed up. I left called several times and text him, no response. Then, at 545 pm, 45 minutes after my appointment, I received a cancellation email. Incredibly rude, disrespectful, and a lack of respect for other peoples time. Don't use this company.

I have a 1 year lease on a condo in Fort Myers, Florida. Malt Realty has been so helpful with my transition from Michigan to Florida. I did not have to stress one time during my moving process as I knew Malt Realty was reliable and easy to get in touch with. They helped me in a timely manner with any concerns I had and continue to have an open door policy with me if anything comes up. I highly recommend Malt Realty & Development. Their team is so kind and welcoming!

I must say from the moment me and my girlfriend got with Connor (or realtor) he made the process so smooth with finding our new condo, he was so helpful, he was very professional, knowledgeable with all his stuff and overall a very friendly person who I can really tell loves his job and loves helping people find the perfect home. Also from the few times I came into the office to take or get paperwork or my keys everyone I came in contact with was just so warm and friendly to me.

I'm extremely happy with this company, especially with Connor. He took really good care of us. As we live far we didn't have the ability to manage our own property as we would like too. But thanks to Connor it was all a breeze. Our phone conversation were extremely pleasant, great customer service and sincere desire to help us with our needs every time. We could not be happier. Thank you for making this first time experience amazing. From renting our home to finally deciding to sell it. 100% recommend! :
