I have dealt with John Birch from long distance concerning two separate properties that I have owned in Pasco and Pinellas counties. I felt comfortable with him after are initial phone conversation. From there we met up and he managed the rehab of my rental property and the eventual sale. I will be listing my second property with Birch Real Estate shortly. John is a straight shooter, reliable, and I have no problem recommending him for property management or the sale of your home.
