About
With over 12 years of experience managing residential properties throughout Central Florida and the Space Coast, I’ve built Sea Dog Property Management around one simple goal: protect the landlord’s rights, property, and income—while creating a stable, win/win environment that tenants want to stay in.
What sets us apart is how we combine premium service with a risk-minded approach. Our clients want a hands-off experience, and that’s exactly what we deliver. From rigorous tenant screening to proactive maintenance, lease enforcement, and detailed financial reporting, we handle every step with precision so our owners don’t have to worry.
We specialize in minimizing vacancy, maximizing cash flow, and handling difficult situations with professionalism and clarity. We’re also well-versed in Florida landlord-tenant law, and we stay ahead of compliance issues to keep you protected.
If you’re looking for a property manager who’s as invested in your long-term returns as you are—someone who values communication, accountability, and results—you’ll find a trusted partner in Sea Dog Property Management.

I cannot say enough good things about working with Don Harkins. He is knowledgeable, confident, professional and friendly. If I could give him more than 5 stars, I would.The property I recently listed for sale through Don sold quickly, at my asking price, and went smoothly and stress free from start to finish.Don communicates with you every step of the way so you dont have to wonder about what is going on with your showings, inspections, or closing details. Any questions or concerns that came up along the way were resolved quickly and efficiently.Don is the best realtor I have ever worked with in my many years of buying and selling properties, and I look forward to working with him again for my next listing.

I wish I could leave 10 stars. Don has been instrumental in helping my wife and I buy our first home. He made the process simple, was always informative and readily available to explain or answer any questions we had throughout the process. We could not have asked for a better agent or lender. I will recommend Don and his team to everyone I know.

Don has been a trusted advisor for about 5 years now, helping me through multiple home purchases, mortgages/refinance, countless referrals to others through the process, and now helping to rent out my prior home flawlessly and in record time!

If you want someone who works hard, considers your best interest, and gives sound advice and insight around every corner of these big life events, Don is your guy!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
We believe in transparent, performance-based pricing. We don’t get paid until you do—meaning we don’t collect management fees while your property is vacant. Our standard monthly fee covers everything from rent collection to 24/7 maintenance coordination. We also offer multi-unit discounts for investors with larger portfolios. No hidden 'onboarding' fees or surprise markups on repairs—just straightforward pricing that protects your ROI.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
It starts with a free Rental Analysis to ensure you’re getting maximum market rent. Once you're ready, we handle the 'heavy lifting' immediately: professional photography, aggressive marketing on 50+ platforms, and a rigorous 10-point tenant screening. You’ll be assigned a dedicated point of contact, and we’ll have your property 'tenant-ready' and listed within 48 hours of our initial walkthrough.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
We are fully licensed and insured property management specialists. Our team stays ahead of the curve through ongoing Fair Housing compliance training and local real estate board certifications. This expertise allows us to navigate complex landlord-tenant laws and local regulations, ensuring your investment stays protected and legally compliant at all times.
