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.

Exceptional Property Manager - A Rare Find…read more After going through three previous property managers, I was incredibly fortunate to find Alexandra. Within just the first one to two months of taking over my rental property, she accomplished what my prior property manager had failed to deliver over the previous 2.5 years. One of the first things she tackled was coordinating and project managing major property improvements. She found qualified contractors to completely redo my front concrete driveway and resolve a long-standing issue with an unfinished backyard patio deck. We later discovered the deck had been partially built incorrectly and did not conform to the original architectural plans. Alexandra managed the entire process from contractor selection and oversight to final inspections and sign-off. She also successfully addressed tenant compliance issues that previous property managers had been unable or unwilling to resolve. What truly sets Alexandra apart is her network of trusted, highly skilled, and reasonably priced contractors. Every contractor she recommended had a proven track record, and the quality of work consistently exceeded my expectations. Alexandra treats your property as if it were her own. She genuinely looks out for your best interests, advocates for property owners, and approaches every challenge with professionalism and creativity. She is highly communicative, proactive, prompt, and always thinks outside the box. Instead of having to constantly chase updates, I received regular status reports and progress updates, sometimes daily, which gave me tremendous peace of mind. She also has a unique ability to treat tenants with respect while still holding them accountable. Even with less cooperative tenants, she was able to achieve compliance professionally and effectively. When it came time to sell my property, Alexandra once again proved invaluable. She strategically connected me with a trusted local real estate agent who had extensive knowledge of the area and guided me through the process. The property went under contract within two weeks and has now successfully closed. Beyond property management, Alexandra is exceptionally knowledgeable in construction, contracting, real estate transactions, and local regulations. Her broad expertise makes her an incredibly resourceful asset and someone you can truly rely on. Since Alexandra took over my property, I was able to be virtually stress-free, knowing my investment was in capable hands. Trustworthy and effective property managers are incredibly hard to find, and Alexandra is genuinely a rare find. She is worth every penny, and I recommend her without hesitation. Thank you, Alexandra, for your dedication, expertise, and outstanding service.

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.

I applied to a Rentals in SF listing a couple of weeks ago. After touring a rental unit and talking…read moreto the guy showing the place (Greg, Liz's assistant), I immediately applied online and paid an application fee. I was told the landlord was evaluating multiple applicants and to wait for the final result. I was eventually not selected. But instead of refunding me for my application fee, Liz simply told me that my materials were good for up to a month if there's another listing that I'd like to apply to. This was a violation of California law AB-2493, which states that the landlord must refund your application fee if you're not selected. After voicing this compliant, Jackie responded to me immediately and offered to help me get a refund on my application fee. I'm glad to know that there is indeed a process for rental applicants to get back their application fees if they're not selected. However, this overall experience has still left a nasty taste in my mouth. Honestly, this was the most difficult rental company I've had to deal with during my recent apartment search. I suggest Rentals in SF leasing agents provide applicants with clear guidance on the application fee refund process, if applicable. In general, the leasing agents can also do a better job of handling the overall application process because they left me waiting to hear back from the landlord and failed to provide insight into the decision process. This just gave me false hope that I was still getting considered.

WARNING TO RENTERS: Avoid Progressive SF Property Group. Do…read morenot be fooled by positive reviews from property owners. Progressive SF Property Group (PPG) is hands-down the worst property management company I have ever dealt with. Extreme Neglect & High Utility Bills: It took over a year to fix the lack of any hot water in our kitchen sink, and four months to fix a scalding-hot shower issue caused by a simple shut-off valve their plumber missed. This neglect drove our gas bill up to $300-$470/month despite minimal usage and that includes include all 3 available discounts for budget billing, medical baseline, and -$108.36 for CARE, despite our minimal use of utilities. Unfair Blame & Extortion: Management routinely blames us for building-wide issues we have nothing to do with, including 114-year-old plumbing failures and laundry room floods we had no part in--even attempting to extort over $1,300 from us for damage caused by others. Today, another flood was caused yet again because of the washing machine, but it couldn't have been us because we haven't done laundry here for weeks because we are so afraid to do laundry here because we are worried they will try to blame us yet again for another issue we did not cause, and try to extort us into paying them for it. They also say we are unusually noisy, but our neighbors are louder than us, plus we work night shifts remotely and are usually asleep during the day, so it makes sense we would make some noise by entering and exiting the building at night . Our neighbors kid screamed loud enough for a nice old lady to ring our doorbell and ask us if the kid was okay, because she could hear the screaming from the street! The walls are paper thin. Forced Financial Liability & Harassment: After an uninvited individual caused a fire in a storage area, PPG illegally forced us to pay out-of-pocket for fire remediation. The fire report states that there was NO DAMAGE done to the property because the fire was put out almost immediately, thanks to the quick action of my boyfriend. They demanded we hire a remediation company and pay for it out of pocket immediately, so we did. We hired a professional company, cleaned the space, and provided receipts and photo proof, even went as far to sweep and mop ourselves 2× & send even more photos, because Kenny Thompson the property manager demanded we do so. Despite all of this, now PPG falsely claims we did nothing to remediate and now have served us a 10 day notice to cure or quit, won't tell us what needs to be done to cure the issues they're having, and won't look at proof proving our innocence because they want to kick us out by August 3rd, 2026! Hypocrisy & Lack of Transparency: They constantly hide behind an "uncontactable" HOA when refusing repairs or safety requests (like viewing camera footage after our friends dog was stolen outside the building, or claiming to not offer lockout services), yet weaponize the HOA to spy on and harass tenants in real time. Retaliation & Illegal Eviction Tactics: Because our rent is significantly below current market rate, PPG is actively trying to push us out. They served a vague "10-Day Notice to Cure or Quit" without explaining how to cure it, while refusing to look at evidence proving our innocence. Bottom Line: They are fake, retaliatory, and actively try to illegally pass property damages they should be paying for themselves onto tenants. Avoid renting from PPG at all costs. We believe they want to kick us out because we rent our apartment for significantly below market rate because we signed our lease before the AI bubble, so they want to kick us out so they can rent this 690 sqft apartment to some other poor sucker for probably $3500, or more! I have recently learned the fire should not have even been our legal or financial responsibility fix, since the person who caused the fire wasn't our guest willingly at the time of the fire, it should have been on them to pay for the damages. If they insist on trying to kick us out, I will just have to bring them to small claims court and get a lawyer to defend us against this wrongful and abrupt eviction, because they have zero evidence to back up the majority of their claims, and all of the issues we were actually responsible for were isolated incidents that happened several months ago, and were smaller issues, such as our guest accidentally ringing our neighbors doorbell a single time at night, which they also included in the 10 day notice, despite the fact it only happened a single time, and it happened 6 months ago. Do NOT rent from these people, they are horrible and be fake to your face, they will try to kick you out over stuff that isn't your responsibility, and they will try to illegally force you to pay for it as well. If I could give negative stars, I would. We want to leave, we just don't want to be rushed to leave by August 3rd!
