Benjamin came and did the rekeying and then left so quickly, efficiently, and quietly, I didn't even know he'd been here. Thanks, Benjamin!

Overall my experience with Belong has been exceptional. We had a second house which was older and had a lot of deferred maintenance. We decided to turn it into a rental. We hired Belong and they completely remodeled the house, put it on the market and rented it within two days at asking price. They have interfaced with the renter leaving me free from much of the hassle of renting out a house.

So far it’s been a very smooth process and we’re very excited to move in to the new place. Shout-out to concierge, Kelly Darling, for her timely responses to our requests. We recently had Belong Pro, Einar Finstad, address some repairs before we move in and he was very nice and attentive. This review will continue to get updated as we officially move in and get settled soon.

The Belong team is top notch, and we are very fortunate to have them managing our property. Our managers (Breanna and Will) have unwaveringly provided us the best customer support, despite all the hardships my property has put them through. They have consistently pursued the best options for both the Landlord and Tenants, and are a model of what professional management companies should be. I highly recommend Belong!
