Resident Testimonials



“Dean Smith is the best leasing agent in San Francisco! From the moment we met, I was struck by Dean’s friendly, courteous, and charming demeanor. His extensive knowledge of the San Francisco Bay Area and the housing market is unparalleled. I had picked out a couple of apartments to look at, and after our initial meeting, Dean suggested another nearby apartment that he thought I would love. He was 1000% correct! This apartment is absolutely incredible, boasting so many features I was looking for: including a building with Edwardian architecture, high ceilings, an updated floor plan, and all within my price range.” – Joshua K.


“Michael Taylor was my leasing agent and I can’t say enough how helpful and kind he was to me in helping me find my apartment. I am naturally indecisive, but he worked with me through that with patience and went above and beyond to make sure I found a place I would be very happy with. It’s clear he has a passion for what he does and I’m grateful he was a part of my journey!” – Maureen P.


“Mike Simpson was amazing and went above and beyond the entire process. He worked with our schedule, always responded immediately, had all of the information, and was genuinely an awesome person. He gave us advice about the new neighborhood, showed us around, and was very knowledgeable about the area. He also processed all of our documents quickly and made the experience easy. Moving can be a very stressful situation and Mike made the process smooth and enjoyable. We are also thrilled with the spaces we were shown and the apartment we ended up choosing. Mike will help you find a great place quickly and stress free.” – Thomas B.


“Absolute gem of a company. I was pleased with them at every step of the usually tedious home searching process. Koren Alexander was my leasing agent and she made the whole leasing experience so smooth and enjoyable for me.” – Gebri M.


“I worked with Joseph Ginel to tour several apartments over the course of a few weeks and was blown away by how incredible he was to work with. He was a great communicator and did everything in his power to help me find the perfect apartment and the greatest deal. [RentSFNow] was willing to review my application and send me a lease over the weekend when I was under time pressure. All four apartments I toured were remodeled with excellent amenities and beautiful views, in great neighborhoods.” – Jessica L.
