Finally. I’ve gone through too many property managers to finally get to Belong. I don’t think it’s that tough to be professional in this line of work but my experience told me otherwise. Belong did a great job finding a tenant, and taking care of my home overall. I’m a big fan and look forward to giving them my next house to manage if I continue to buy in the Bay Area.

The Belong rep contacted me immediately: friendly, professional. However, I’d already decided to manage my property myself. The Belong rep behaved perfectly: thanked me for considering them and offered to help should I come to need their services. No hard sell, just good business. I’ll certainly contact them if I need property management.

Belong is the best property management company we have ever worked with. We honestly probably would not have kept our home as an investment property if their perfect solution did not exist. I literally keep the mobile app on my Home Screen because I like knowing we have the passive income on auto pilot from them.

Belong in a diamond in the rough, from the moment of initial contact they have been ahead of the ball, follow-through in a way that I have never seen and really create a top notch service experience that exceeded my expectations. I can't wait to get started with them and would recommend anyone looking for property management services to check them out. So different from anything I'm used to and I'm so relieved to have found them.
