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.

This is a review for FOS Company as a property manager. I have not used FOS Company's real estate…read moreservices. The FOS Company bought and managed the building I previously resided at on South Van Ness. I lived in the building for 8 years and FOS Company owned the building for the remaining six months I was there. You can see where this is going. For those six months, the sole individual who works for this company harassed myself and my neighbors to take buyouts to vacate our units. When we resisted FOS Company's low offers, they ramped up harassment by texting at all hours of the night/day, knocking on doors, and sending lawyer notices. FOS Company is particularly aggressive toward non-native English speakers and elderly people who might not know tenant law. FOS Company began construction in the basement of our building as soon as they obtained permits. Besides the excessive noise and use of scaffolding and tarps to block out windows, the fumes from his workers' machines were noxious and made it into a few units. With FOS Company, Google is your friend. There is a lot of publicly available information about the construction practices and property management style of this business. If you're thinking about purchasing a home or condo from them, I would consider the tactics the business operator used to get the previous tenants to vacate them. If you're thinking about renting short term from them, I would look up this company on the Anti Eviction Mapping project as some other shady practices have come to light. If FOS Company buys your building, be warned: you will be harassed and threatened with eviction -- even if you are the perfect tenant. This company does not see people, but only dollar signs.

It was a pleasure working with Alexandra from start to finish. She is incredibly professional,…read moretimely, thorough, and truly a problem solver. When a challenge arises, she doesn't just identify the issue--she quickly works toward a solution, often finding creative ways to keep things moving forward. What stands out most is how much she genuinely cares about her clients and the people she works with. She is responsive, collaborative, and committed to creating a positive experience throughout the transaction. I would gladly work with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and dedicated loan professional.

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.

After months of searching for the perfect place with enough space to start our growing family, we found a property that we thought was simply too good to be true! Working with Trimaine was an absolute breeze. He had answers to all of our questions, accommodated a safe tour experience for us (with a little one on the way we wanted to make sure we were extra careful due to the pandemic), and was excellent at handling all communication and negotiation between ourselves and the owner. He was definitely our biggest cheerleader throughout the entire process and we cannot thank him enough for getting us into the space of our dreams! We truly couldn't be happier with our experience and highly recommend working with Advent Properties to anyone who is looking to find their next place.

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.

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.
