Max L. · San Francisco, CA
YelpLeslie was profoundly knowledgeable, and helped me gain the market knowledge and guidance I needed. She acted with speed and clarity to get me the information. I couldn't recommend her more. If you want someone who knows the business and acts with decisive, rapid know-how, she's your gal.
Leslie was so helpful and efficient when I needed help renting my condo in Marin. I was never in the dark about any detail! She is a stellar communicator and so knowledgeable about the rental market. I highly recommend hiring Leslie!
Leslie went above and beyond to help me find an apartment I liked. She was patient, transparent, and flexible with my budget and requirements. She has videos of all of the units available on her website. Easy application process through Intellirent and real-time updates on the portal as various checks and verifications are completed.
I had an excellent experience working with Leslie, from finalizing the lease to handling an early lease termination and finding a replacement when I had to move out of state mid-lease. Leslie was extremely responsive, helpful, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Everything was well planned, well organized, and clearly communicated, which made a potentially complicated situation very easy to manage. Truly a great experience overall!
Super helpful, patient, and knowledgeable. Leslie was very supportive and informative throughout the process of me finding my very first apartment for myself.
Moving to SF from out of state, I started to get overwhelmed seeing how fast places were listed and suddenly disappeared off Craigslist and Zillow. I wasn't confident I'd have everything I needed to apply, so I was grateful that Leslie helped me gather the materials for my “renter's resume.” She helped with applications, selected places to tour, scheduled them back to back on the same day, and drove me around to see them. I found a place and rented it in just a few days thanks to her. Her local's eye ruled out a few places with issues that weren't apparent from the listings — it was great to have an informed second opinion!
Leslie is extremely professional and helped me rent my place in a very short time period. I was out of the country and didn't even need to be present. Her knowledge of the area and flexibility were amazing, and she always responded to questions promptly. I recommend her highly. Thank you Leslie!
Leslie helped me rent out my house on very short notice. Her professionalism, knowledge and negotiation skills were fabulous! She was extremely flexible and responsive, very organized with the paperwork, and had no problems making necessary changes. I highly recommend Leslie and would gladly use her services again. Thank you Leslie!
She really helped me with the process of finding a room for rent, with proper details and explanation of the site, and helped me with the filters too. Thanks Leslie, you were a great help.
My partner and I just got married and we were looking for our dream house in Marin. Thanks to the help from Leslie and her team at SF Bay Rental Co. we found it and cannot wait to move in. She was very professional and knew exactly what we were looking for. She knows the market and is a great human being. I have recommended her to all my friends.
Leslie always responded to my texts and emails. She was always kind and extremely helpful in the leasing process. It was quick and effortless. Everything was done electronically so it was really easy! I highly recommend her services!
Leslie was very delightful to work with in securing my current apartment! Her process of securing the lease was very efficient and reliable (less than 4 days!). The apartment I live in now is very comfortable and homey, so I am a really happy client! As a rental property owner, I could also tell that she cares a lot about her relationships with the landlords of her properties. Speaking from the perspectives of both a tenant and a landlord, I would definitely recommend her to anyone seeking to find a home or rent one out!
Leslie was terrific in helping me navigate a new city and secure my first apartment in San Francisco! She took all of my (many) questions in stride, supported me in managing the back and forth with my guarantor, and helped me understand new application processes. I couldn't recommend her more!
My house search has been very difficult and time consuming. Being able to get ahold of an agent may be the hardest part of it all! I contacted Leslie about her apartment and received a response almost immediately. We toured the property the next day. I submitted an application and was approved all within 24 hours! Thank you Leslie for being so responsive and helpful!
Leslie helped me immensely throughout the entire process. She was incredibly patient and worked tirelessly to make sure my application was complete and competitive. I could tell she was doing everything she possibly could to bring the best result for everyone involved, and she didn't stop working towards it until that scenario came about. I would definitely highly recommend her!
Leslie was the best real estate agent/broker I've ever dealt with. Not only was she patient and empathetic to my situation, she made me feel like she was doing everything it takes to find me a place to live in a week's time. She had a lot of useful tips for each neighborhood in SF and helped me locate the ideal place. Highly recommended! Leslie is the go-to for renting in SF!
What can I say about Leslie except she is fantastic! She recently helped me find an apartment in San Francisco on very short notice. Coming from the East Coast, I wasn't very familiar with the neighborhoods in the Bay Area. Over the course of a few days she took me to an astonishing number of rentals until I found my new home. With her expertise she guided me to a neighborhood she thought I'd love, weighing the pros and cons of each location and apartment we saw. As someone unfamiliar with the area, her advice was a gift. Thank you Leslie!
I was moving from New York and had one day in SF to find an apartment before flying back. Leslie set up 14 viewings in one day. While it was a whirlwind, I never felt overwhelmed or rushed. She made sure to get my feedback after each viewing so she could get a better sense of what was most important to me. Given I didn't have a great sense of the SF market, Leslie was extremely helpful in explaining the neighborhoods, whether the apartment was a good deal, and what to look for. She made a very stressful process stress-free, and I was thrilled to find an apartment I loved. I'd recommend Leslie to anyone!
My experience trying to rent an apartment in San Francisco had felt like a full-time job, unpaid. All of this changed when I contacted Leslie. She is the most professional realtor I have ever worked with — prompt, thorough, and she makes the entire application and approval process as relaxing as online shopping. My advice to anyone trying to find a great apartment in the San Francisco Bay Area is to contact Leslie directly. She is an experienced professional who listens and pays careful attention to your needs.
Leslie was amazing from jump! So incredibly kind and efficient to work with. All of my leasing documents were electronic and done in record time. Leslie even came directly to my home to pick up my money order rather than having me go to her. So incredibly convenient, and just the extra mile we would all hope for. She also has a warm, authentic touch that inspired me to invite her to my house-warming party once I get settled in! Such a pleasure to work with!
Leslie is truly the “Miracle Worker” for home hunters! I contacted her a little over a week ago about my new apartment. She got right back to me as soon as she viewed the property AND helped me get the place in LESS THAN A WEEK! I'm always working different shifts at the hospital and don't have time to wait for realtors to get back to me. Leslie worked out a time for me to view the property during a weekday evening, and she makes applying super easy — it literally took me half an hour online. I have never experienced such a streamlined rental process. Leslie is a marvel. She takes the struggle out of finding a home in San Francisco. Thank you Leslie!
Working with Leslie was very pleasant! She was knowledgeable and answered all of my questions with patience. She also gave me lots of great advice on what to do when looking for a place to move to. I strongly recommend her!
Took her time and did not make us feel that we were rushed. She is very knowledgeable about the unit and surrounding area, and was a pleasure to work with.
