When you try to contact them online, there is no call back. I have payments go in for the HOA and they're posted 15 days later with a late charge. This is from a customer point of view.

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.

Leasing Agent 41 aka Inna Rubinchik is THE BEST perfect leasing agent. She LOVES what she does and…read moremakes leasing easy for her clients. She is super knowledgeable about the San Francisco rental market and I love how she makes Leasing Agent 415 her brand. Inna has a finance and taxation background and she's also a landlord and investor herself. Because she understands the intricacies of being a landlord she takes the time to educate owners about SF rental laws, tax implications and sets overall client expectations for being an SF landlord. I am a top producing Realtor and have referred her to several of my clients. I know she will take excellent care of them and will always add value.

I suspected since he was an older white dude, he felt entitled to do anything he wanted to do when it came to showing the property, even when he was asked on one occasion to be quiet when showing the place due an important Zoom meeting, he elected to stomp around above me just to antagonize me while I had issues listening to the Zoom meeting. If I wasn't a female, I'm sure I would have been treated differently by this Compass agent. Sexist pig.

After relocating to Washington, we worked with Kevin and his team to sell our condo in NoPa -- and…read morewe couldn't be more grateful. We were introduced to him through a close friend who had worked with him before, and I can see why they recommended Kevin's team. Kevin is highly organized, ambitious, and one of the hardest-working people we've ever met. From the start, he came to us with a clear vision: make thoughtful improvements to maximize appeal to buyers. He handled the entire process seamlessly, managing every detail and going above and beyond to keep expectations aligned every step of the way. If you're buying or selling in San Francisco, we'd recommend Kevin without hesitation. He truly puts his heart into his work.

When evaluating a property, he prioritized investigating every detail--sometimes literally digging around--to make sure it was safe and sound. He took the time to understand my priorities and helped me purchase a property I'm truly excited about. The property needed some updates and changes, and Kevin helped with the heavy lifting by making a list, identifying the key issues, and helping prioritize the work that needed to be done. When I shared everything Kevin was helping me with, friends were surprised. They said their realtors were no longer involved after the sale. Kevin clearly loves the process of matching homes with buyers. I'm grateful for his help and support.

He was full of useful information, always available to work around our weird schedules having conference calls with us after work hours etc. I'm excited to say that last month I opened my dream office in the Financial District!

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.

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.
