So helpful and laid back. Last 2 years booking was easy. Both women working in the office are so great! Helped us find the perfect vacation property for our large family and gave us some helpful tips about how to get the most out of our stay.

We use Jack Hickman for our Beach House Rental (Henlopen Dr. South Bethany, DE) and Meredith Is sweet and such a pleasure to work with. This is a smaller Agency and gives a more personable experience vs the bigger realtors that just get you in and out. We chose Meredith to represent us after interviewing 5 other Realtors. They are also in the process of upgrading their online booking and other modern technologies.

Very disappointing experience with the agency. Very difficult to communicate with (responding on their side sometimes takes over a week). They don't really care what complains you have once you move in into the house you rent, simple issues take months to be taken care of. Definitely not going to use their services in the future.
