Two months in and things have been quite smooth. I've appreciated how prompt my concierge (Breanna) has been answering questions or dealing with issues and even though I've faced a bug here and there the app has been very simple to use for repair request, paying rent, etc

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.

David and the team at Belong take great care of my house. What I like the most about the interactions with them is that they keep their word: if they say something, you know it's going to happen. Oh, and they show up on time! So unusual when dealing with service professionals. Highly appreciated.

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.
