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!

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.

Alexandra Moari is exceptional. I live on the East Coast and needed someone I could trust…read morecompletely to manage my California home, and from the very first phone call, I knew I had found the right person. 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.

Which, it is in 1 month, 1 week and I have not heard a single word from the company in regards to renewing or terminating. So, that's comforting. In the past 2 years this building has had more planned and emergency water shutoffs than I can count or be convinced is acceptable. I get that it's an old building but just use the exorbitant rent you're charging me and fix it already. It's not that hard. After one of the "fixes," they left a blue-tarp pile of trash and pipes on the front lawn for well over 6 months before finally taking it away one day. What a historical beauty to look at every day. Updated old entry system with great security features (could see who was at the door and remotely open, consistent app entry) to a terrible new one (have to pay to subscribe to an app to have any features of the old one, had ALL calls from every resident for the first few months). No assistance from building manager when requested help. We've gone through so many property managers, and I have never received a response from a single one on an issue, question, or repair I've had or needed. My dishwasher is broken, hot water does not get hot, and new entry system doesn't work. But that's totally fine, I don't need answers or assistance from the building I PAY $5.56/SQ FT FOR. SUMMARY - shitty building, no assistance from property manager or AI assistant, overpriced "historical" slop. Extra star for location to downtown Alameda.

Very disappointed with the services. We were the first to tour a listing and immediately applied,…read morespending $90 in application fees for two applicants. The screening process was absurd: on top of the usual background check and income verification, our current employers, current landlord, and former landlords all had to fill out online forms -- and not all of them found the email they were supposedly sent with links to the forms. Five days after hearing nothing, we reached out to the listing agent who informed as another applicant had been sent a lease, and our application fee could not be refunded. We understand the importance of finding quality tenants, but wasting the time and money of interested renters and others involved in the screening process is unacceptable.

Similar experience to other reviewers--this management company pulled a total bait and switch…read more Listed the apartment for a certain price on Zillow and then after I had applied and toured, told me that apparently a bidding war had ensued and to "respond with my best offer on the apartment by end of day".

My experience with Kent Mar revealed an incredible lack of integrity. Rather than facilitating a…read morestandard leasing agreement based on the advertised price, Ken utilized the application process to engineer a blind bidding war among candidates. The original asking price was treated not as a requirement, but as a baseline for an auction, pitting applicants against one another to artificially inflate the rental cost. This is not just opportunistic; it is exploitative. Housing is a necessity, and manipulating applicants who have already invested time and money into the process demonstrates a profound lack of respect for people. A property broker should act as a professional intermediary, not a chaotic auctioneer. I will never consider another property affiliated with his name or company, and I urge others to avoid as well.

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.
