*UPDATE and EDIT* Lila Delman has offered a partial refund, approximately 95%. I am not entirely sure why only a portion since I was in the house no more than an hour or 2. Nonetheless, I am relieved to have this resolved and will receive my refund in about 2 weeks. I rented a property from Lila Delman and upon checking in discovered the property's cleanliness to be less than satisfactory. There was blatant disregard for tidiness for the overall property. The most concerning issues were the dirty windows, crumbs in the refrigerator drawers and grime and dust on the microwave and tv. This is a

This was the first time we rented on Block Island. I had thought due to the price we paid thru this rental agency that we would have been taken care of but this was not the case. No one told us that this was one of the most difficult to reach and remote locations on the island or that the driveway was so unkempt that the undercarriage of our car was dented do to lack of maintenance. And I am not saying little potholes either... literally falling apart and people didnt want to tackle driveway! The we get there to find most screens are broken- there are tons of bugs obviously in summer on the

I had the pleasure of hiring Laureen Koch to sell my home in Saunderstown. We met purely by accident and I liked her right away. She gave me the best advice on how to prepare the property and she showed it with great knowledge and enthusiasm. She found us an out of state cash buyer who loved the home I once loved so much, and in 3 weeks it was sold. Everything about the way she handled herself was extremely lovely and I wouldnt hesitate to call her again if I ever needed her. Loved working with her. 5 Star! Fantastic!

We had an awful experience renting through Lila Delman this summer. The house we rented was absolutely filthy, infested with spiders (killed 10 in one bedroom on first night and found nests under dining room table), Rx sleeping pills found on the hallway floor (we are a family with a small

I cannot recommend Lila Delman Real Estate enough! I had the pleasure of working with one of their realtors, Kara Churas, who completely exceeded our expectations. We were looking for a summer rental for our family, and she was so professional, friendly, courteous, and went the extra mile to ensure we received the property we were looking for. She was always extremely responsive, often within minutes of any emails being sent. We will absolutely be using Lila Delman again for our vacation searches, and especially Kara!! Thank you so much for your amazing work for my family! :)
