I am very happy with Belong so far, the personalized attention has been great, specially from our concierge Darely she is amazing, very helpful and keeps a good communication all the time. I originally hired Doorstead which I I regretted because they took 2 months and were not able to find tenants for my house, yet they charged me over $1,500 dlls in repairs and fees. Ended up cancelling with them and hired Belong which were able to find tenants in less than 2 weeks. It’s only been a couple of months working with Belong but I’m very pleased so far. The mobile app experience is great to be able to see my income and expenses with useful information about repairs with photos and detailed descriptions. I would imagine my tenants must be happy too. So I highly recommend Belong for a hands off property management experience.

Belong is by far the best property management company I've worked with as a renter. Our personal concierge, Scott, has been so attentive, friendly, supportive, and responsive. He makes us feel valued and heard whenever we've had issues with our home. Belong, as a company, has also had my back when there have been issues. Bravo and thank you!

The Belong rep contacted me immediately: friendly, professional. However, I’d already decided to manage my property myself. The Belong rep behaved perfectly: thanked me for considering them and offered to help should I come to need their services. No hard sell, just good business. I’ll certainly contact them if I need property management.

By far the best property management! The team always made sure to have responded to any immediate attention! They are available via phone, email, & text!! An automated payment through their app right on your phone! What more can you ask for! I’ve had a few concerns in regards to the house but they get right on it! Communication 5 STARS! I would definitely give more stars if it was unlimited! In the beginning Thomas was my manager, he was awesome! And then now my current manager is Brooke Silverstre, and she is even MORE awesome! She’s always punctual, fun, easy going and so on and so on! I could list more things about her. I am happy, satisfied, and content. I couldn’t ask for more. They go beyond my needs.
