Belong has been really great to work with. Sure there has been some back and forth and time I wasn’t really sure what the next steps were, but I think it come with the territory. They always return our calls and messages. Very courteous on the phone and I feel like they really CARE about people. Unlike Some other predatory leasers/property management.

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

Highly recommend speaking with Belong. I took their recommendations on property improvements and attracted some great tenants at a premium. Guaranteed rent is a major plus too. Their service team is prompt and reasonably priced. I higly recommend at least giving them a look.

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.

I have been renting in San Francisco since 1991 and have never experienced such a seamless and professional experience with landlords or property management companies. Very communicative, efficient, friendly and helpful. Well done!

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.
