After relocating to Washington, we worked with Kevin and his team to sell our condo in NoPa -- and…read morewe couldn't be more grateful. We were introduced to him through a close friend who had worked with him before, and I can see why they recommended Kevin's team. Kevin is highly organized, ambitious, and one of the hardest-working people we've ever met. From the start, he came to us with a clear vision: make thoughtful improvements to maximize appeal to buyers. He handled the entire process seamlessly, managing every detail and going above and beyond to keep expectations aligned every step of the way. If you're buying or selling in San Francisco, we'd recommend Kevin without hesitation. He truly puts his heart into his work.

We first connected with Kevin when we set out to sell our second SF property after our family's relocation to Washington. We had had a less than stellar experience with the sale of our first SF home, so this time we put extra rigor into our search for a realtor to help sell our place. We chose to work with Kevin because of his excellent work ethic and standout ability to identify, facilitate, and maximize opportunities. He's super communicative, extremely detail-oriented, and dedicates incredible effort and mindfulness for every task at hand. He was able to help navigate a tricky market for a successful sale of our place. So when we looked into buying a place for my in-laws in the Bay Area, we immediately reached out to Kevin and he was able to help with a new development property we had interest in, including many logistics to arrange for customization of the place. We very much appreciated his hands-on support since we were remote for most of the process. They loved their new home! Unfortunately, with unexpected life changes and moves, we had to sell their place. Once again, Kevin came in the clutch, with a lot of on-site management since we were even more remote now on the East Coast! With ever-shifting market conditions at that time, Kevin made sure to prepare the home with the most cost-effective upgrades and finishing touches. We were so thrilled when the home sold quickly to great buyers. Thank you so much Kevin + team!

My partner used to rent a space in Walnut Square in Berkeley managed by Santino of Maven Properties…read more(formerly with Crown Fortune) and was quite literally traumatized by the experience. If you ask anyone in Walnut Square what they think of Santino they'll use language I can't use here. The property is poorly maintained and tenants frequently have to close temporarily due to leaks and plumbing issues for which they are never compensated. I know one tenant who was shut down for at least 2 months due to a plumbing-related problem. Another tenant was forced to move to a different location due to persistent leaks that were never repaired. Peet's in Walnut Square is plagued by problems (incl. rats). Maintenance issues as well as poor communication and callous disrespect led my partner to leave. I am writing this to warn prospective Walnut Square tenants as there are several vacancies. Don't fall for a slick sales pitch from Santino--you will regret it.

The real estate market in San Francisco is crazy, like in crazy expensive and unpredictable. When…read moreI inherited my parents' rental duplex in San Francisco and decided that I didn't want to be a landlord, I enlisted the help of Janice Lee to help sell the property. I picked her because of her excellent Google and Yelp reviews, and also because her office was in the same general neighborhood as the property. At first, I nearly gagged on the cost of real estate agent commissions, but at the end Janice turned out to be worth every penny. After at least 50 years as a rental, the property was in rough shape and needed a lot of work to get into an attractive enough condition to sell. On top of that, the former tenants left behind a lot of stuff that needed disposal. Janice pretty much took care of everything, from cleanup to repairs to needed renovations. She not only located and hired the contractors but even picked out the colors for painting (both interior and exterior) and flooring. It was like she had a sixth sense for what buyers wanted. The only work that was done, and it was a lot, was whatever would pay off when the property sold. The work took over a month, but it was all needed, and I really didn't have to lift a finger. When the property was finally ready to price and sell, Janice took careful note of both the surrounding market conditions and her perception of buyer sentiment at the time. The timing was good, and within 10 days we had five all-cash, no contingency, offers in hand, all for well over the asking price. We accepted one of the higher offers and the deal closed quickly. As an example of Janice's careful attention, the buyer reported a possible smell of gas on the property. It turned out to be just the smell of fresh paint, but Janice went to the property in the middle of the night (so I wouldn't have to) to meet the PG&E tech, check everything out, and get an all-clear. Janice handled all the closing paperwork, from escrow to county filings, in a precise and timely manner. It is now one year after the sale, and there have been no problems whatsoever.

Quick to communicate, remediate any issue, as well as a pleasure to interact with -- I would without hesitation consider them and their team of consummate professionals for any of my future rental, or investment property management endeavors.

I trusted Josh and honestly was betrayed…read more He was the first property manager I've hired and he didn't manage. All he did was collect rent and via email communicate one lease extension and then they went month to month on two plus years. I don't believe he ever checked on the condition of my property or if the lease terms were being followed. I know of two flagrant violations 1) no animals and a cat lived there the entire term of the lease openly and 2) no smoking which is also a Belmont City Ordinance. I was told they are "good tenants" which they were from a bill collectors perspective, however, horrible from a property owners perspective as they lived hard and the wear and tear on the unit was unacceptable including pot smoke lingering and making the unit filthy. Then there was the cat leaving animal mess behind when they vacated. I learned there was a leak on October 12, 2024 not by a phone call or direct message but being included on an email chain with the tenants! How unprofessional and this violated the entire principle of a property manager only having contact with tenants and what he was paid to do. From the discovery of the first problem I am aware of Josh was absolutely no help. He didn't manage the situation. Instead it was on. On me to deal with and coordinate access with the tenants to first get a leak detector in. He didn't offer any help. Left me high and dry! When I went to meet the leak detector I was appalled at the condition of my condo that had been fully renovated prior to the tenants. It was grimy and there was cat stuff everywhere and the cat walked up to me even to be petted. I called Josh very upset especially about the cat as my main point was no animals and this was not a service animal. He said they have forfeited their deposit by having the cat. When the tenants vacated , after asking for one more day, which we declined as I had set up - not buy the property manager, but myself Service Master and my insurance adjuster to meet me to start to deal with the leak from upstairs (from different condo owner) and repairs. When he showed up he said it wasn't bad ... They turned off the water days before vacating and left feces and urine in toilets, food on kitchen sink, tons of stuff in the garage , the floors where sticky from a party , the hall bath covered in hair - not sure if human or cat, tacks and tape everywhere on the walls , the new kitchen counters stained .... A drawer with pot debris. While the Farmers adjusters and Service Master there never once did he say I will coordinate as it's my job as property manager. We did agree for his guy- also there to haul away abandoned items - which wasn't even thorough. I had to ask him to return to complete. Then no phone call he emails me he is firing me. A blessing. But very unprofessional. Then he sent me my accounting the first of the year via email without salutation or closing with one word "okay"? In pulling together paperwork for insurance I realized I didn't have a copy of the one lease renewal. I emailed Josh for it ... waited 5 days later forwarded email to him with bookkeeper and maintenance guy with "second request" to finally receive. In interviewing and hiring a new property manager I realized I was not provided any service. I SHOULD RECEIVED A REFUND ACTUALLY!!! There should have been physical check ins on the property and its condition. The notification of a leak - major problem that took 5 months to remediate and repair - should have been handled by him as that is what his fee was for. After the tenants moved out he changed his tune on the deposit. He was advocating for them after telling me it was forfeited due to the cat - not to mention property condition from their hard aggressive living- that most of it needed to be returned. He kept saying the condition wasn't that bad. He was not advocating for my property but only the tenants. Swept under the rug the excessive wear and tear , damage , pot smoking and cat living there. Ironically one of those tenants now manages an apartment building. I'm sure her employer would find interesting photos of how my property was vacated.
