Tyler Shy Shinalt

I live in California, but have 2 properties in east
Holly Lake Ranch for future retirement. Until then we need to make them rentals. After reading Shy’s glowing reviews of himself and his business we were excited to begin this new relationship.
That excited feeling turned to disappointment rather quickly. He advertises account managers to help you or answer questions. These managers do not exist. He also says he has a maintenance staff which is a joke.
He represents himself as a broker for Keller-​Williams in Tyler at 6761 Old Jacksonville Hwy. I suggest you call them as I did… They have never heard of Philip Lee (Shy) Shinalt.
BTW. Shy is his sons name which he uses. Why? Because he is hiding the fact that he has been arrested for a felony. Look up Philip Lee Shinalt. I wish I did.
There is no ‘Online Owners Portal’ or ‘Centralized Accounting’ and his claim to have
’Impeccable Ethics and Integrity’ is an out rite LIE.
I am going to follow Lisa Y’s suggestion and file a complaint with TREC. We need to get this guy terminated.

Nightmare. Wished I would have read the review already posted. My story is the exact same as Bo. I hired Phillip Shy Shinalt to manage my duplex in Tyler, one side.
He told me later he manages about 60 properties, which is why it took several months to get our home rented; then he uses his «people» to do repairs, carpet, paint and you will learn their prices are twice the price. He also failed to pick up the signed lease, therefore, we had no lease protection and the renter knew it and took advantage.
Shy was supposed to keep 10% of rent; kept 15% but never told us the truth about the rent charged. He uses crazy math at best. As Bo stated, he will not contact you back, always on vacation or a trip; it was a nightmare. We terminated our contract, ended up having to evict the renter, first time we have ever gotten into that bad of a rental
agreement. Renters had bad credit, foreclosure, on fixed income and could not pay the rent. None of this revealed to us. We lost 3 months of rent in the eviction process alone. And without the lease; the renter tried to just delay. Shy Shinalt or Phillip is a licensed realtor, and I have turned in a complaint to his license, he should not be the one you choose to handle your property, you will never have a moment of peace or even know if you will get it rented, or receive the monthly rent. Bad Deal. Stay Away

Philip Shinalt aka Shy Shinalt stole from me and my tenants. We entered a contract for him to manage my duplex. He failed to respond to months of repeated contacts via phone email and certified mail. He finally submitted one payment to me after 4 months of management, and then once again was never heard from again. I subsequently did the online research I should have done originally and found a news report referencing a Phil Shinalt getting arrested for «fraudulent use of identifying information, a state jail felony,» that I believe to be for the same person. Finally, I got in touch with both of my tenants since this time, and was told he had not responded to any of their maintenance requests or messages over the course of the last few months. Stay away from Shy.
