WARNING TO RENTERS: Avoid Progressive SF Property Group. Do…read morenot be fooled by positive reviews from property owners. Progressive SF Property Group (PPG) is hands-down the worst property management company I have ever dealt with. Extreme Neglect & High Utility Bills: It took over a year to fix the lack of any hot water in our kitchen sink, and four months to fix a scalding-hot shower issue caused by a simple shut-off valve their plumber missed. This neglect drove our gas bill up to $300-$470/month despite minimal usage and that includes include all 3 available discounts for budget billing, medical baseline, and -$108.36 for CARE, despite our minimal use of utilities. Unfair Blame & Extortion: Management routinely blames us for building-wide issues we have nothing to do with, including 114-year-old plumbing failures and laundry room floods we had no part in--even attempting to extort over $1,300 from us for damage caused by others. Today, another flood was caused yet again because of the washing machine, but it couldn't have been us because we haven't done laundry here for weeks because we are so afraid to do laundry here because we are worried they will try to blame us yet again for another issue we did not cause, and try to extort us into paying them for it. They also say we are unusually noisy, but our neighbors are louder than us, plus we work night shifts remotely and are usually asleep during the day, so it makes sense we would make some noise by entering and exiting the building at night . Our neighbors kid screamed loud enough for a nice old lady to ring our doorbell and ask us if the kid was okay, because she could hear the screaming from the street! The walls are paper thin. Forced Financial Liability & Harassment: After an uninvited individual caused a fire in a storage area, PPG illegally forced us to pay out-of-pocket for fire remediation. The fire report states that there was NO DAMAGE done to the property because the fire was put out almost immediately, thanks to the quick action of my boyfriend. They demanded we hire a remediation company and pay for it out of pocket immediately, so we did. We hired a professional company, cleaned the space, and provided receipts and photo proof, even went as far to sweep and mop ourselves 2× & send even more photos, because Kenny Thompson the property manager demanded we do so. Despite all of this, now PPG falsely claims we did nothing to remediate and now have served us a 10 day notice to cure or quit, won't tell us what needs to be done to cure the issues they're having, and won't look at proof proving our innocence because they want to kick us out by August 3rd, 2026! Hypocrisy & Lack of Transparency: They constantly hide behind an "uncontactable" HOA when refusing repairs or safety requests (like viewing camera footage after our friends dog was stolen outside the building, or claiming to not offer lockout services), yet weaponize the HOA to spy on and harass tenants in real time. Retaliation & Illegal Eviction Tactics: Because our rent is significantly below current market rate, PPG is actively trying to push us out. They served a vague "10-Day Notice to Cure or Quit" without explaining how to cure it, while refusing to look at evidence proving our innocence. Bottom Line: They are fake, retaliatory, and actively try to illegally pass property damages they should be paying for themselves onto tenants. Avoid renting from PPG at all costs. We believe they want to kick us out because we rent our apartment for significantly below market rate because we signed our lease before the AI bubble, so they want to kick us out so they can rent this 690 sqft apartment to some other poor sucker for probably $3500, or more! I have recently learned the fire should not have even been our legal or financial responsibility fix, since the person who caused the fire wasn't our guest willingly at the time of the fire, it should have been on them to pay for the damages. If they insist on trying to kick us out, I will just have to bring them to small claims court and get a lawyer to defend us against this wrongful and abrupt eviction, because they have zero evidence to back up the majority of their claims, and all of the issues we were actually responsible for were isolated incidents that happened several months ago, and were smaller issues, such as our guest accidentally ringing our neighbors doorbell a single time at night, which they also included in the 10 day notice, despite the fact it only happened a single time, and it happened 6 months ago. Do NOT rent from these people, they are horrible and be fake to your face, they will try to kick you out over stuff that isn't your responsibility, and they will try to illegally force you to pay for it as well. If I could give negative stars, I would. We want to leave, we just don't want to be rushed to leave by August 3rd!

Key Highlights: 1. Exceptional Team: I've had the pleasure of working with Wilsen, Ahyeza, Chris, Patricia, Jana, Fiona, Nikki, and Ramiro. They are professional, attentive, and easy to collaborate with. 2. Problem Solvers: One of their greatest strengths is that they never shy away from a hard problem. Whether it's a maintenance issue or a tenant concern, they tackle it head-on with a level of responsiveness that is hard to find. 3. Trusted Partnership: When you are looking for a partner to manage an investment property, creating an empathetic and caring relationship with the tenants is the most important factor. They have proven themselves to be reliable stewards of my property. Pro-Tip for Owners: Because they manage a diverse portfolio of both condos and houses, I found that providing clear context on my specific expectations for house-level marketing and maintenance from the start created a great feedback loop. Their receptiveness to this high level of communication is exactly why our partnership works so well; it ensures everyone is aligned from day one. Overall: If you need a team that is responsive and capable of handling the complexities of the Bay Area rental market, I highly recommend The Cal Agents.

BEWARE!!!! I had a horrific experience with Marshall & Co…read more Property Management (specifically working with Sarah Jainchill and Dakota from Laguna Vista Apartments in Tiburon) that felt discriminatory from the very beginning. When I initially inquired about an apartment, Sarah wouldn't even let me fill out an application the moment I mentioned I had a Section 8 voucher. They only came back to me after their other applicants backed down. After waiting an entire month to move in with my family, I arrived at the move in inspection to a complete nightmare. The listing explicitly promised "New beige waffle weave carpet to be installed in all bedrooms" and "luxury vinyl flooring." In one bedroom, management left sharp debris and trash all over the floor from a recent window or paint repair, completely unvacuumed. Dakota explicitly lied to my face, claiming the new carpets were to be taken care of by move in date, only to later shift the blame entirely onto Sarah. The bedroom carpets were never replaced. Instead, the apartment was delivered completely filthy and in the exact same neglected state as when I first viewed it. the appliances in the unit are severely neglected and broken and need replacement. The kickplate at the bottom of the dishwasher was broken and poorly masked with a large piece of red tape. It completely fell apart upon inspection and requires full replacement. Stove and oven was heavily rusted, caked in thick, old grease, and still contained dirty aluminum foil left behind by the previous tenant. The paint was peeling off the range hood from age and severe grease buildup, posing a fire and another health hazard. I noticed a thick, unsanitary buildup of dust and filth along the sides of the refrigerator. Furthermore, the unit had a cracked toilet seat covered in urine, a broken front door sweeper, broken thermostat, severe mirror rot, and cracked, lifting bathroom flooring. Most alarming of all, there was severe black water damage and suspected mold under the kitchen sink, a major health hazard for my kids. The place seemed as if it had not been cleaned in years!!! When I pointed these out, Dakota dismissed these health and safety issues as "cosmetic or minor maintenance matters." I even offered my own time to clean the unit a day early, but they refused to give me the keys for "liability purposes," yet expected my family to move into a filthy construction zone and live out of boxes until they could finally schedule carpet installers days later. Management showed zero empathy, never apologized, and tried to push me to sign the inspection sheet just to get the keys. Fortunately, I stood my ground, refused to sign, and immediately contacted the MHA, who backed me up completely to cancel the contract. Please beware of Marshall & Co. They misrepresented the property, lied about updates, and tried to force a family into a sub standard, unsafe apartment!

SLUMLORD. Would give zero stars if possible…read more From the moment I moved into that apartment I realized I was in a slumlord situation. When I arrived on January 19th there was no working heat and it was in the 40s at night. I was provided with a very small space heater by the "property manager" (that term feels like a big stretch) and I was absolutely freezing all night. The only reason I didn't go to a hotel was because I had just driven for 5 days straight and was literally too exhausted. Additionally, the apartment was ABSOLUTELY FILTHY (I have photos to back this up). The apartment was vacant for months so it is unclear how they did not have time to check the heat or do a basic cleaning. When I complained, Pedram gave me a credit of like $70 for both those issues which is wild as a cleaning service and a hotel stay would easily total $500. Pathetic. I knew I was in for some bullsh*t based on this. From this point on, every time something broke or needed to be fixed, and there were a lot of things that were broken UPON MOVE IN (again, this place was empty and could have been repaired beforehand), Pedram ignored my service requests in the app and my emails. I fixed things with my own time and energy and had to hound him to be reimbursed for the supplies. The whole point of renting is so that I don't have to fix things. I literally had to have a friend fix my leaking kitchen sink because the person who "fixed" it initially didn't actually fix it and Pedram would not respond to my emails at all. I begged him for help. In addition to my actual unit being terrible, the general condition of the property was abhorrent. Overgrown weeds and bushes, filthy walkways that haven't been power washed in years, garbage all over the alley where the bins are, etc. It looked totally ghetto and therefore, people treated it as such. Also, we were told with literally ZERO advanced warning that we would lose access to the washer/dryer for at least a month due to the construction project taking place in the back parking lot (earthquake retrofitting). So then I had to start taking my clothes to a laundromat which is hard to do as a professional working 50+ hr weeks. Additionally, Pedram told us we had to park our cars on the street for this project despite the workers only being there during business hours. There was no reason we had to park on the street at night, other than his negligence with regard to understanding the actual scope of the construction project. My car and several others suffered vandalism/damage due to being on the street. It was completely unnecessary, but he would have known that if he ever stepped foot onto that property or put even the smallest amount of effort into managing it. I finally had to threaten him with legal action to be allowed to break the lease, as I could not continue living in that hell hole. He will not return my security deposit and states he kept it as the lease break fee, which is of course illegal under California state law. So not only did I lose my 2k deposit, I have to pay 1k to fix my car and I paid another 1k for moving expenses. Still very seriously considering taking him to small claims court. I had a completely horrific experience at this place and I have no idea who would write a positive review. I spoke to numerous other residents who all had similar experiences and were completely frustrated and fed up. Pedram, you take advantage of people and you know it. Absolutely disgusting behavior. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. You can say I'm disgruntled about the deposit or whatever you need to, to make yourself feel better, but we both know the truth.

I applied to a Rentals in SF listing a couple of weeks ago. After touring a rental unit and talking…read moreto the guy showing the place (Greg, Liz's assistant), I immediately applied online and paid an application fee. I was told the landlord was evaluating multiple applicants and to wait for the final result. I was eventually not selected. But instead of refunding me for my application fee, Liz simply told me that my materials were good for up to a month if there's another listing that I'd like to apply to. This was a violation of California law AB-2493, which states that the landlord must refund your application fee if you're not selected. After voicing this compliant, Jackie responded to me immediately and offered to help me get a refund on my application fee. I'm glad to know that there is indeed a process for rental applicants to get back their application fees if they're not selected. However, this overall experience has still left a nasty taste in my mouth. Honestly, this was the most difficult rental company I've had to deal with during my recent apartment search. I suggest Rentals in SF leasing agents provide applicants with clear guidance on the application fee refund process, if applicable. In general, the leasing agents can also do a better job of handling the overall application process because they left me waiting to hear back from the landlord and failed to provide insight into the decision process. This just gave me false hope that I was still getting considered.

She oversaw the move-out with the previous tenants carefully: the unit was inspected thoroughly, the turnover was coordinated quickly, and everything was documented properly. What really stood out was the re-leasing. Alexandra found qualified new tenants within a week, at the top of the market price -- no extended vacancy, no discounting just to fill the unit fast. That combination of speed and full market rent is rare, and it made a real difference to my bottom line. Responsive, organized, and clearly knows this market. I'd recommend Alexandra to any owner looking for property management that actually delivers.
