I've really enjoyed working with Ale, O, David and the rest of the member experience team as we've worked to find a great tenant and management our home. If you're looking for an awesome, down to earth property manager that actually cares about you and the people who rent from you, look no further. Two thumbs way up!

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.

I'm on the board of a homeowner's association, and one of our owners contracted with Belong to manage the rental of their unit. Belong's staff promptly contacted the HOA to obtain copies of governing documents, and asked if there were any rules to be aware of, demonstrating that they know what they're doing, and care about compliance with the community's governing documents. Not only but I know they actually reviewed the documents, because they had a question about the number of pets permissible, because our rule was kind of vague. So good for them for being proactive in addressing potential problems before they become one.

Really love the mission Belong has set out to do. They have a wonderful team of people that are always there to be of help. While everyone there is super helpful and friendly, I worked closely with David. He’s been helping me from the start and even provided my family with storing, hauling, and moving options as we are looking to make the move to the eat coast. We’re sad to leave our Mid-Wilshire home of 10 years but excited that we found the right partner to make sure we have quality residents and the home is kept in great shape. They have taken care of everything from finding the resident to maintaining the home, which really has taken all my worry out. My only regret is that I didn’t buy another home for them to manage!

I have been nothing short of impressed by Belong and Erica our coordinator thus far. They have been very resourceful and thoroughly professional. They helped us end to end from prepping to rent out, to finding awesome tenants to maintaining our property in the Bay Area. Their response has been prompt for any questions I have as well as our tenants may have. Belong FTW :)
