I have been renting in San Francisco since 1991 and have never experienced such a seamless and professional experience with landlords or property management companies. Very communicative, efficient, friendly and helpful. Well done!

I am so glad I moved from my old property manager to Belong. Belong's guaranteed rent is my favorite since I don't have to worry about rent collection.

Working with Belong Homes’ Phoebe Little, has been an excellent experience. She is a highly dedicated employee, who strives to represent her employer and customers, well! The occasion of trying to rent property is generally very stressful, though working with a Phoebe made this process nearly seamless! Employees like Phoebe help make Belong Homes a leader in property management. Thank you, Phoebe!

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.
