We interviewed several options and ultimately chose Chuck Liu from SFHM--and we're so glad we did. Chuck immediately stood out for his responsiveness, professionalism, and deep familiarity with our San Francisco neighborhood. His fees are reasonable, and the level of service we've received in return has exceeded expectations. When he stepped in, there were several unresolved issues left by our last manager. Chuck handled them quickly and thoroughly while keeping both us and our tenants informed. He built rapport with our tenants from the start, even introducing himself in person, which helped smooth the transition. Over the past year, Chuck has continued to manage the property with care. He strikes the perfect balance between independent problem-solving and keeping us in the loop, which we really appreciate. Chuck was transparent from the beginning and provided clear information about his services and contract terms--something that gave us confidence before we even signed on. If you're seeking a property manager who is proactive, trustworthy, and tenant-focused, we wholeheartedly recommend Chuck Liu and SFHM.

This property management group is a gem…read more It's common to hear about property management companies that take forever to address maintenance requests or are impossible to get in touch with but we've had the best experience renting a property managed by Hogan & Vest/Structure Properties. We've rented for over 5 years and have always found their team to be super responsive and friendly. They go above and beyond to ensure their properties are well maintained and that tenants are taken care of. Thank you Ellen, JC, Sam, and the rest of the Hogan and Vest team!

My property manager Ty Harris shut off my electricity without warning. I spent almost two days with…read moreno power, only to find out from PG&E that the issue was internal. When I went to check the breaker as instructed by PG&E, the lightbulbs in the basement had been removed and it was pitch black. While I was trying to flip my breaker on, my back was turned and Ty Harris (who doesn't live in my building) came up from behind me and physically assaulted me. He hit me, threw me into a concrete wall, put his hands all over my body ripping at my skin, and chased me up a flight of stairs... I was bleeding from multiple areas. This is a premeditated assault. Violence.. There has been no apology from structure properties, no explanation for his behavior. Why do I have to explain to human adults that unlawful violence is bad?

From the very beginning, Mark was on top of every detail -- clear communication, letting me know exactly when to expect updates, and always delivering faster than promised. What really impressed me was his balance of speed and professionalism. He didn't just fill the vacancy quickly--he found the right tenant and handled the whole process so smoothly that I felt completely at ease. He kept me in the loop at every step, so I always knew what was happening and when. I've already told my friends about Mark, because if you want someone who will treat your property like it's their own and get results that exceed your expectations, he's the one to call. I highly recommend him!

His fees are reasonable as well. Will definitely use him for future property management.

Even though I called at a terribly early hour by mistake, she answered with professionalism, energy, honesty, and total clarity. She handled everything with remarkable care and efficiency: preparing the property, coordinating details, marketing the home, communicating with prospective tenants, and carefully vetting applicants until she found the perfect tenant for me. Throughout the entire process, she was responsive, thoughtful, knowledgeable, and incredibly organized. Every question I had was answered quickly and intelligently, and every step was handled with real attention and care. What also impressed me was that Alexandra does not work alone. She has built a strong team around her, and that makes a real difference. Joseph and Mariana were part of that larger sense of professionalism and support, and it was clear to me that Alexandra has surrounded herself with capable people who help things run smoothly. She also has reliable handymen and other professionals at the ready, people who can step in quickly, fix problems, prepare the home, and make things happen without delay. That kind of network is invaluable, especially when you are managing a property from across the country. What truly sets Alexandra apart is her integrity. She is honest, hardworking, deeply committed, and truly represents her clients well. As an out-of-state owner, that gave me enormous peace of mind. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found her. She is now my property manager, and I would not trust my home to anyone else. Highly, highly recommended.

Saj was in touch with us frequently through the application process, but once our applications were submitted, communication was less consistent. That said, we found out the next day that we were approved! At least, we thought we were. Nobody at Ukiyo had confirmed whether we have pets (we do, and didn't want to double-list them with multiple adults applying), so they had to recalculate the deposit and needed us to provide vaccination records. Once we did so, we paid the deposit and went to bed, feeling like the next day we would pick up keys to our next home. Instead, we found out that the property owner doesn't allow pets, and that our entire application process was wasted. Not only are we not moving into what we thought would be our home for the next decade, but also we're having to find another option and wasted a week of time and energy. I can't claim I understand property management. That said, either the owner provided incorrect information to Ukiyo (in which case Ukiyo needs to do a better job screening owners since they "don't work with just anyone" according to their site) or Ukiyo didn't ensure that they had the correct information in their listing. Whichever is the case, the entire process has left us with a terrible impression of Ukiyo's business. It's already exhausting enough to navigate bay area housing without this kind of mess.
