First, I will say being a "landlord" is not easy, so handing over the reigns to Belong is the best decision I could have made! From renting my place at a great rate, to moving in the new renter, everything was taken care of. I no longer have to worry about calls on nights and weekends with a request from my tenant. Belong handles repairs, including finding vendors. So far, it has worked well.

Belong Home completed our bathroom project and we are thrilled with the outcome and so pleased with the contractor and the subs that were in and out of our house. We felt safe and secure with each and every person that came into our home, just like family! Tim Meyers and his team were respectful and informative throughout the project!
