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.

Really love the mission Belong has set out to do. They have a wonderful team of people that are always there to be of help. While everyone there is super helpful and friendly, I worked closely with David. He’s been helping me from the start and even provided my family with storing, hauling, and moving options as we are looking to make the move to the eat coast. We’re sad to leave our Mid-Wilshire home of 10 years but excited that we found the right partner to make sure we have quality residents and the home is kept in great shape. They have taken care of everything from finding the resident to maintaining the home, which really has taken all my worry out. My only regret is that I didn’t buy another home for them to manage!

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

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.

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.
