The San Francisco RENT BOARD is prejudiced and biased toward landlords. Many of the clerks don't…read morewanna even talk to landlords and refer them the places that don't help landlords at all? The recent laws passed are all prejudicial due to the governor, the mayor and the Board of Supervisors, who want to maintain their voters from renters because there's more of them than there are landlords? In reading the laws, they're very difficult to find and understand in the rules?? And then when you do find them, they're extremely prejudicial toward landlords? Landlords can't even appeal without a penalty if they do? I hate San Francisco and what it's turned into and tired of being forced to do whatever the RENT BOARD or state of California says to solve the housing crisis which they should've solved decades ago, but spent their money on stupid other things. Now they expect the landlords to pick up the bill and do things in renting their property that make them like partners with the state and the city. As a landlord, I do not work for the city or the state to solve their problems. I own my property and have very few rentals. But I can't get a straight answers from hardly anybody at the RENT BOARD? And then they always refer you to a lawyer which I know I can't afford to spend $600 to ask a question and then the answer is not forthcoming. I think the RENT BOARD needs to hire some attorneys to assist landlords and tenants so they understand the rules and the laws. So I've come to the conclusion not to RENT anymore!

Hired Tim in the summer of '24 to conduct an appraisal in support of an appeal of my SF property…read moretaxes. I chose Tim & SFBAY-RE from a list of others because he's a licensed certified Residential Real Estate Appraiser in the state of CA and has over 15 years of appraisal experience throughout the Bay Area, with a particular focus in San Francisco. He provided the appraisal in plenty of time to support the Sept '24 submission deadline. Two days before I was set to appear before the Appeals Board in May '25 the SF Assessor's Office contacted me and agreed with the assessed market value that Tim established in his appraisal. Based on the current FMV that Tim provided I will be receiving a substantial credit for tax year '24 and the new property tax will result in a considerable savings going forward. Tim was easy to work with and very responsive to my questions throughout the entire process. I was particularly thankful for the guidance he provided in preparing for the Appeals Board meeting. The cost for the appraisal was both competitive and fair and well worth it. I highly recommend Tim & SFBAY-RE if you are in need of an appraisal for a property tax appeal.

We were set to close in 4 days, with an out of area purchase dependent on removing the sale of the house in SF, when Jeff called. He understood the situation immediately and came the next day. We had the appraisal in 24 hours, it was fair and honest and we were able to close on both properties in a timely manner. As a realtor, I would definitely use him again.

The appraisers at Mission Group Appraisal give me thorough, accurate reports as quickly as they can. They say 48 hours after the appraisal is done they will have the report to me, but one time he got it to me within 24 hours. I would recommend MGA and Jeff Kabatznick to any of my fellow Realtors.

We recently closed escrow on our house in West Portal and are very happy with the process and the results. Paul's go-to-market plan resulted in the house selling quickly after multiple offers at a price that exceeded our expectations. We had interviewed multiple realtors but immediately felt that Paul had the most experience and the highest level of local market knowledge. Since we were not in San Francisco during the process, we appreciated their contractor connections to prepare and stage the house. Their recommended contractors were cost-effective and thorough in their work. The communication was excellent; from signing the listing agreement through closing escrow, Paul and Kathy diligently kept us updated, answered our concerns, and assisted in the paperwork. Working with them resulted in a low-stress and enjoyable experience that achieved our goals.

When my husband's uncle died, it fell to us as his trustees to sell his San Francisco home of 55…read moreyears. Since we live in Washington state, we were very anxious about finding a realtor we could trust to help us navigate the ups and downs of the current San Francisco market. It was also a very emotional time for us. We've spent 40 years hanging out with our uncle at this lovely old house in the Inner Sunset. Luckily we were referred to Michael Freethy, an agent who was raised in SF and knows the neighborhood well. From our first meeting, we knew we'd found the right person. He treated us and the property with a sense of dignity and respect for its history and value. Within a few months of our first meeting, Michael orchestrated the removal of all the remaining furniture in the house, brought in a crew to do some needed repairs and painting, staged the property beautifully, and prepared an incredible marketing package of professional photographs including drone shots and a 3-D virtual tour. This work was all completed on schedule and on budget, in spite of unprecedented torrential rains over the winter of 2022-23. The whole time we had constant access and updates by phone and email with Michael and his wife and business partner, Joy. The marketing plan came together exactly as Michael had predicted it would. There was a short period of open houses and showings, and we received multiple offers. Within 6 weeks of listing day we were under contract. We closed at a better price than we expected. We simply can't imagine a better, more professional real estate experience. We came away with more than a good business outcome. We consider Mike and Joy trusted friends and would recommend them to the highest degree to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, honest, principled realtor in the Bay Area. Thanks, Michael!

I have been a land owner for over 40 years, I hired the same property management for over 30 years…read more Although I was not happy with the previous property management, I hesitated to switch because I did not have the courage. I thought that is the way Property Management is, so I just tolerated it. Now, I am very happy... I appreciate the Prime Metro Property Management team. After I switched my property management to Prime Metro to take care of my rentals, I sleep well and enjoy life more. The reason is: Prime Metro Property management teams take good care of my properties like taking care of their own homes. Any maintenance issues, Henry attends the maintenance site in person, diagnoses the problems, discusses with me and hires and supervises the maintenance guy to do a good job. I had mold problems in one of my houses, Henry's team all participated and resolved the problem in a very organized manner. All works are done in a timely manner. When I need a painting job in one of my buildings, Henry met with the painting company and discussed what needs to be done. And he refers a good company to do the job. Since I am not able to travel, I am more than happy that Prime Metro takes over and takes good cares of my properties. In addition, Henry's has a very professional management teams, they are prompt handling issues. They are attentive, thorough, and efficient. More importantly, Prime Metro's portal website is very organized, thorough, and 100% visible to me. Prime Metro, you do an excellent job!
