Fantastic experience: I have been working with Leshia and her team for the past two years and I cannot say enough good things about their company. They have been managing my property at JORC and take care of my place like it's their own! I would recommend anyone out there who is looking for a rental property to reach out to Leshia and you will not be disappointed.
Kenneth, Thank you so much..I find it an honor to work for you..and my Team feels the same..Thank you for being in our life....
Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of working with Carin Frisco. I was searching for a specific type of pet friendly condo, in a specific location and Carin made it happen!!! She is determined, hardworking and doesn't stop until everyone is satisfied. I would highly recommend Carin for all your real estate needs.
Hi Debra, thank you so much for the kind words! Working together to find your perfect place was a highlight for me. I'm so glad you love your new condo - enjoy every minute of it! You know where to find me if you ever need anything else!
-Carin
Negative experience: This company trapped me into signing a dishonest agreement. They will not disclose information properly and will charge an extremely high amount of rent. There is a risk at signing a lease with this company because you will be lied to and persuaded to sign documents with falsified wording. Therefore, making the experience miserable

Thank you Jorge, we love this area and the beautiful Jupiter Lighthouse!
Negative experience: This place is terrible. Been trying to reach someone for two days to view property. In a buyers market....what a joke
RC,,,if you call 561-744-8244 or 561-371-2279, you will get someone who does care a LOT..don't know where you are calling or emailing..
[email protected] as well
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend working with Marvin David Effenson - and here’s why. I was relocating to Jupiter and extremely tight on time. I needed to 1) find a very specific type of place and 2) get a lease locked in within a few short days, which is a tall order. Marvin not only got it done, he made my “unique fact pattern” prioritized by my new landlord and the HOA. He was responsive late at night and early in the morning - and he followed up immediately when I missed anything. Marvin is a life saver! Thanks for all that you do. If you’re a prospect looking for a rental or purchase, look no further and work with these folks. You will be very pleased.
Michael, I agree with you SO wholeheartedly...Marvin is a Professional and a Humanitarian...such a Rarity in today's world...
Fantastic experience: Working with Leshia Johnson to buy my home was nothing short of amazing. She guided me through every step with patience, warmth, and confidence. Her knowledge of the local market gave me peace of mind, and her clear communication made the process easy to follow. What stood out most was how genuinely she cared — always available, quick to respond, and ready with answers or reassurance whenever needed. She made the entire experience not only smooth but enjoyable, and I felt completely supported the whole way through. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience - very grateful to Leshia :):)
Fantastic experience: Great costumer care. I have worked with some RS agents previously but Leshia went above and beyond regarding my transaction. great communication and expertise despite my closing took longer than expected due to external factors. She was on top of everything at all times and will always answer my texts. Highly recommended.
It was my pleasure and my Honor to work for you..Leshia
Fantastic experience: Most honest and kindest people I have ever met.None better
Thank you, Rob....As he said..KPUT...Kindness,Patience, Understanding and Tolerance...Rules to Live By...
Fantastic experience: We had an amazing experience working with Marvin Effenson! From start to finish,he was very professional, responsive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the market. Marvin helped us navigate the process smoothly and went above and beyond to make sure we got into the right property. His dedication and attention to detail made all the difference. We couldn’t be happier with our new home, and it’s all thanks to his hard work. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough good things about my experience working with Marvin Effenson at Jupiter Lighthouse Realty. I was over 1,000 miles away, looking for a seasonal rental at the very last minute and within a specific budget—which felt nearly impossible. But Marvin made it happen. From our first conversation, he was incredibly responsive, professional, and, most importantly, trustworthy. I had to rely entirely on someone I had never met, communicating only over the phone, and yet I never once felt uneasy. Marvin took the time to understand exactly what I needed, respected my budget, and somehow managed to find me the perfect place, all without me ever setting foot in the area beforehand. I have now been in my condo 6 months. He truly went above and beyond to make the entire process smooth, efficient, and completely stress-free. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you’re in a similar situation or just looking for someone reliable and dedicated, I highly recommend Marvin Effenson at Jupiter Lighthouse Realty.
We are Blessed to have Marvin on the Jupiter Lighthouse Realty Team...
Fantastic experience: Jupiter Lighthouse Realty sold my house within two days after listing. Been dealing with them for over 20 years. Always fair and honest.
Fantastic experience: BEST Realtor in Jupiter! I thought I was always on top of things until I met Leshia. OMG, If I thought of something that needed to be done, she had already thought of it too, and was already working on it! She's ON TOP OF HER GAME, SUPER responsive, honest, and sooo easy to work with! I call Leshia and her team Charlie's Angels because every time I needed something done, her and her extremely competent team were on it right away and happy to help! This is TRULY the best team in town!!!
Julie, I am Blessed by the Team around me and Honored to work for you and Frank...Thank you so much for this review and that privilege to work for you...
Fantastic experience: We are just starting our 3rd leasing term with Leshia and her team! We couldn't be happier with how they have gotten everything done in a timely fashion and professional! If any issues have popped up they have fixed them as soon as possible! They further have gone the extra mile with checking in on how the rental/home has treated us through out the lease term! For anyone looking for a positive real estate experience, contact Jupiter Lighthouse Realty!
Thank you SO much, Piney and Andrew...It's an honor and privilege for us to roll up our sleeves for you each time! Enjoy your new home ...

Thank you so much, Brittany...and I am SO Blessed with a fabulous Team around me...Congratulations to you and your family...Leshia
Fantastic experience: I just recently returned from a trip to Jupiter. This was my first time to ever use this realty company and I am happy to say they were absolutely wonderful to deal with. From my very first email to them until my departure everything was seamless. Leisha and her crew are top notch! I rarely write reviews but after such a positive experience I wanted to give them the shout out they deserve. Don’t hesitate to call Leisha!
Thank you, Emily..My Team are Blessings ..we want everyone to enjoy our Slice of Paradise...
Fantastic experience: Great agent to do business with! From the first phone call until the last email, Leshia was so helpful and just a real pleasure to work with! I highly recommend her, and the others at the office. Very friendly and fast. We enjoyed the experience of selling the condo together.
It was such a pleasure to roll up my sleeves and work for you two...too...
Fantastic experience: I have worked with Jupiter Lighthouse Realty for the past three years and very pleased with their efficiency in handling any issues that might arise and effectiveness in their communication with the owner. I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking an excellent manager of their property.
Thank you so much, Linda....It's a pleasure to roll up our sleeves and work for you...
Fantastic experience: We have worked with Leshia at Jupiter Lighthouse Realty for several years and have always been pleased with with her professional attitude and performance.
Thank you for this Philip....This compliment makes it all worthwhile to know the depth of how much we really do care
Fantastic experience: JLR is professional and reliable. They know everyone in the Jupiter area and should you need help they know whom to call. Highly recommend them for your property management. Joe Carideo
It's been quite a ride thru the recent issues and Biblical rains for all..Property Management has been a challenge. To log in tonight and see these comments...Makes "Mother Duck stuff" SO rewarding... Thank you, Joe
Fantastic experience: JLR, particularly Leshia and Cathleen, are the most professional management I have ever had the opportunity to work with. They offer services far beyond any contractual obligations and ensure clients treated like family. They will never let you down or in the lurch. Highly recommended for any service JLR offers.
Thank you, Roger...You have lived this side of the curtain. Your comments are heartfelt + strengthening to do what we think is Just...
Fantastic experience: Jupiter Lighthouse Realty has always been attentive and professional to our rental needs.We are very pleased with them over the six years we have used them.
Fantastic experience: We have worked with Jupiter Lighthouse Realty extensively over the past five years. They are professional, courteous and diligent with every facet of our business relationship.
Fantastic experience: Honesty and integrity says it all!!
Thank you so much, Anthony.
Fantastic experience: Great team to work with. I have had a professional relationship with members and Leshia Johnson’s staff for over 15 years and I highly recommend for their honesty and knowledge base.
Fantastic experience: We are extremely pleased with the responsiveness and courtesy with which we have been treated.
Fantastic experience: I love Lighthouse Realty. They are true professionals and so easy to work with.
Fantastic experience: Leshia and her team have taken such excellent care of me and my property. Their experience and knowledge is unsurpassed.
Fantastic experience: Leshia at Jupiter Lighthouse Realty is an excellent realtor who is extremely knowledgeable about the Jupiter area and condo rentals and sales. She represents my condo rental and has handled many issues with diplomacy and skill. I would highly recommend her and the agency.
Fantastic experience: They have been managing my apartment in Jupiter for over 10 years Leshia and her staff have a wealth of knowledge about the area And are very courteous and professional, highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: My family and I have worked with Leshia and Jupiter Lighthouse Realty for over 16 years and have had nothing but great experiences. Whether it was buying a home or managing our property, their professionalism and expertise is exceptional!
Fantastic experience: Leshia, Cathleen and the whole staff at Jupiter Lighthouse are the best! They managed two units for me for many years, then sold one on my behalf and continue to manage one. Always get a quick response to any question or situation. Highly recommended!
Negative experience: The day my lease started, the unit was still not ready to be occupied. Leisha, the "owner" of Jupiter Lighthouse Realty in NO WAY met my expectations of how a professional business should be run. I am not sure if this business is a hobby or serious but she never apologized for what I experienced. PLEASE believe that you will receive nothing but horrible customer service. If the OWNER behaves this way, then the rest of the business cannot be any different. There are many great real estate firms in the area. PICK ANOTHER ONE IF YOU WANT EVEN AVERAGE CUSTOMER SERVICE.
Martin, as I outlined last night at 9:30, I do not manage this property. The Owner does and said that "it's ready". Even though I do not manage this property, I did get someone out to take care of your concerns by 9:30 this morning, did I not? I do not think that one could have worked faster to fix something that was really not my job to fix. Martin, was is not a last moment approval that you were allowed to move in yesterday when you were actually supposed to move in tomorrow, Jan 31? The owners vendor was surpised at that and thought he had 2 more days. The Owner and I responded to your needs immediately even allowing you to move in early due to your needs to move out of your home.
Fantastic experience: I was previously incorrect in submitting a negative review. Leshia graciously corrected my misunderstanding of the situation.
Susan, had you reached back since a couple of months ago, you would have been told just as all prospective Buyers are being told that the Owners have been responsible and have had the house remediated by professionals. I wish you the best of luck. I had no contact from you to me to respond to. Susan, the house absolutely was not leased past the date of the mold inspection. Your posted information is not factual, truthful and very unfair.
Negative experience: stay away wont return a call after 2 tries. guess they dont want our business.
Negative experience: My wife and I rented a seasonal condo from may to Oct. The master shower was leaking behind the wall. I notified her and the landlord and property manager (leshia Johnson). Leshia could not be bothered with doing anything about it because her contract read, "they are not responsible for any repairs." I notified both her and the owner Ed Sosin in August. The cheap skate landlord first refused to fix the shower and told me I had a 2nd shower and could use that. I brought this to Leaisha's attention she seemed to care less. I ended up having to get the HOA involved along with neighbors to be heard. The repairs were not started until a month later. I was offered a measly $200 off my rent and let out a month early just to shut me up. As a landlord you are responsible to fix any damages reported in writing. Stay far away from the owner Ed Sosin (Oceanside terrace 6d) and jupiter lighthouse realty. Also the staff at jupiter lighthouse realty needs an attitude adjustment starting with Mary Jane. She was flat out rude. Don't get into a contract with these people.
John, you are right that I cannot perform repairs to a property that I do not own. However, you seemed very pleased with the final outcome that I was able to negotiate for you. This review surprises me. Your Landlord makes his own decision about his property. I have no way to make decisions for him nor was I paid to do anything but procure a tenant. Your Realtor who co-broked your placement has the same amount of power over the property owner as I do. You didn't give her an unfair review to the public.
I'm sorry if I could not perform a miracle for you and turn back time that the shower didn't leak during your tenancy or be able to twitch my nose and fix it immediately upon happening.
If you had owned that property I don't think that you could have gotten this issue resolved any faster than was done.
My staff was not "rude" in stating the truth that all we can do is to report the situation to the Landlord. We cannot hire vendors. We went to work immediately to alert your Landlord of the situation. We suggested vendors. He found his own. I spent quite a bit of time to help you in the tough situation and I actually thought that I helped you. You were offered an early termination which after my Staff and I urged the Landlord to do something quickly, you decided to stay during the construction.
I did the very best that I could as a third-party attempting to help the situation.
Fantastic experience: Leshia and Cathleen at Jupiter Lighthouse Realty have been managing our condo rental in Jupiter for over 15 years. In a field filled with characters only interested in a buck these people bring a whole new level of professionalism and most important honesty to the field. They are responsive, they communicate well, and get the job done. If a problem arises Leshia and Cathleen have the resources to fix the problem quickly and make the tenant at a the most reasonable cost to the owner. What more could you want. Great people to deal with.
Negative experience: Had very bad experience with Leshia‘s agent Ivana. She lied to me about immediate occupancy of a rental property . Took all my money in certified checks , and the day before I was to move in , she called and said The roof was leaking and HOA Association requires up to four more weeks for my Application to Be approved . Because of that , I had to make expensive immediate changes and cancel Leasing agreement . It had been three weeks now, and she does not return cleaning exiting fees of $150 . I also lost $350 for HOA application fee That is not refundable . They deliberately lied to get me into rental property.
Iryna, I'm so sorry that your actual rental agent with another company did not take time to help you understand the lease and the HOA application that not you but your employer signed that outlined very clearly how long that the HOA may take to approve a tenant. Your employer harmed the Owner by not allowing the other 3-5 days more that was required for approval. No one from Jupiter LIghthouse Realty "lied" to you. If the cobroking agency didn't explain to you what was signed by your employer, I apologize. The house was actually available to another tenant who understood rules and regulations of the Homeowners Association who did approve the Tenant quite quickly and the Owner was able to rerent the property. Your funds have been returned to your Realtor. Please check with your employer's Realtor.
Fantastic experience: I would recommend Jupiter Lighthouse Realty to anyone without hesitation! I have been renting my condo through them for many years and it has always been a smooth and pleasant process. Recently, I decided I wanted to buy another condo. Leshia and her staff have been absolutely GREAT from start to finish. The situation with the property I ended up buying was very complicated and Leshia spent a tremendous amount of time working on the transaction. She was always easily accessible and SO helpful! Her realtor Ivana played a huge part in the whole process, dealing with the difficult seller and agent with determination and finesse. I can't thank them enough for their help. They are incredible people!
Fantastic experience: Leshia handled the recent sale of our townhouse. The unit had been rented and it required a great deal of work including new carpet, paint and some appliances. We live in New York and Leshia helped in lining up the necessary service people. She explained every issue along the way and she was always upbeat. I have no hesitation in recommending her to a buyer or a seller.
Thank you, kind Sir..It was a pleasure rolling up my sleeves and working for you and your wife.
Fantastic experience: Bought many condos with the realtor over the years, and had her office manage it for me. Always good service and recently dealt with a water leakage from uninsured owner above. Dealt with renovations and insurance on my behalf. I didn't have to worry about the whole thing. Terrific realtor.
Fantastic experience: Leshia and her realtor staff at Jupiter Lighthouse Realty are amazing. They are knowledgeable, efficient and easy to work with. They were able to find me a great rental for a great price. The rental is in a fun and vibrant community with lots of amenities. I definitely will use Jupiter Lighthouse Realty in the future when I look for my dream home!!
Fantastic experience: A great company to deal with. Lighthouse helped set us up with a vacation rental for a nice guys golf get-a-way. They were efficient and answered all of our questions. Overall a seamless process. Would be glad to work with them again. Pk
Fantastic experience: Jupiter Lighthouse Realty was hands down the most professional, courteous, hard working group of people I've done business with in decades. Leshia handled the entire process quickly and efficiently. The entire team at this office helped make my buying process a breeze. If you don't chose to work with this team you would be doing yourself a huge disservice.
Fantastic experience: Leshia is a great broker who knows the market inside out. All we wanted to know when selling was that our property is being shown, potential buyers and agents accommodated, and we get it sold for the right price. Having Leshia on our side was the best choice we could have ever made.
Fantastic experience: I am so happy with Leshia's office that I don't know where to begin. Everyone in the office including Leshia is so responsive both by phone and email. They went out of their way to accommodate us and show properties until we found the one! The whole process was smooth and without hiccups and we couldn't be happier in our new home. Jupiter Lighthouse Realty was just a perfect choice and we look forward to using them in the future again.
Negative experience: Never ever go to this realtor. Had a very hard time with her. Extremely poor communication. Did not gave proper instructions of dealing with situations. The place that we lived had worst owner on the top of this realtor. Made our life miserable for 3 months. Would not recommend anybody to deal with them.
Niraj, I am very sorry that you and your wife had the experience that you had. As I told you at the time, I could not give you legal advice and I was not your Landlord...only the Realtor attempting to help you both. Your Landlord spent well over $5000.00 to help the situation. When that still did not satisfy, he allowed you to terminate your Lease. No one could have done more than that Landlord, who was at that time battling cancer and didn't need the stress. SO, he gave me a budget to help him that should have appeased. There was a HUGE team effort to rectify the situation. When it did not, he released you from your lease. What else can people do? If you had owned that property, you could not have done anything more professional nor any quicker than all actions taken.
Negative experience: This realtor is horrible! If you would like a stress free, organized purchase/rental DO NOT USE HER!! She submits documents one day prior to the move-in date/closing and with a lack of respect for anyone's job or time send back to back e-mails and calls companies to pressure others to make up for her last minute actions! I'm going after her license and filing a compliant against her license! She should not be allowed to put people through what she does! She has to be the worst realtor existing in the industry of real estate agents! I RATE HER A NEGATIVE ZERO!!!!!!!!!!!
Positive experience: Give this nice lady a call. She is known to be one of the best vacation rental agents in Jupiter. She has a large following as she knows how to find the right vacation rental in this area. Hope this helps you. Thanks, Ken
Negative experience: I find working with to be disorganized and panicked. Always wanting something at the last minute in a rush with no respect for others time. Never had a showing on the weekend and I find that odd. In the end a loss. Try someone else unless you're desperate.
