I've had the pleasure working with Milbrook Properties for many years as a vendor, and as a tenant leasing retail space from them. Their professionalism and attention to detail is impeccable. The properties are always clean and their team is super friendly to work with. Not only have they helped me grow my business, but they helped me through the tough times during the pandemic so my business wouldn't fail.

Recently leased retail space from Milbrook Properties in South Florida and they made the whole process smooth and efficient. Their prices are very competitive and were willing to offer concession so I can get my new business up and running. Working with Charles and his team was a breeze. Highly recommend leasing space from them!

I attempted to start a business and was looking to lease a property. I put a $500 deposit down. I figured out early on that I was not able to acquire the general liability insurance in time. I informed them. They convinced me to keep looking. I was unable to do it. They are keeping my $500 deposit and saying that it is to pay for the time that they used to write up the lease contracts. Those contracts which were never printed was from a pre-programmed business application that only required my information inputted. This is what they are charging $500 for. I see a problem with it. Others may not

My professional relationship with Milbrook Properties spans twenty years. Over the past two decades, the staff at Milbrook have always maintained the highest levels of service quality and professionalism. By my own admission, I can be quite demanding- yet I cannot remember a single instance when any member of the firm lost their temper, missed a deadline, or dropped the ball in their communications.
Service quality of this caliber and consistency doesn't come by every day, and they have managed to maintain this momentum throughout the pandemic. Milbrook serves as a model to other management companies
