Property Management Systems was founded in 1998, by Michelle L. Horneff-Cohen, a licensed real estate broker who has been working in the San Francisco housing industry since the mid-'90s. What began as a small consultancy grew into a full-service firm staffed by a team of skilled professionals. Together, the Property Management Systems team has managed and leased thousands of residential units throughout San Francisco.

The worst EVER! They deposited my check a week before the 1st of the month. They even put me on hold to try and prove that I had sent a check dated in the wrong month....they ACTUALLY came back on the phone and said, "Oh, you did date your check for the first and we deposited it early."
As if that would have been a reason valid to deposit my check early!!!!!!!
They moved offices and only sent out one notice and did not put a mail forward to their new offices. It was only by chance that I had sent in our rent check early so we found out in time that our rent check had not been received. We NEVER

Property Management Systems is an utterly inept & unethical business. Do no rent from them. My husband & I rented a unit through them for just about 7 years. From 2009-2016 our rent increased $1,800! They have abysmal customer service. Calls, emails, faxes, certified letters all go unanswered. The owner, Michelle Horneff-Cohen, cannot run a company. Letters from them are full of typos, bad grammar, etc. Other employees, whose name I will spare, are equally useless in their response. I would receive letters for the annual security deposit interest earned, guess what, no check enclosed. Never got

I joined Property Management Systems an year ago and it has been a wonderful year in terms of both my professional growth and relationship with co-workers. This company truly has a passion to serve the community by offering housing for all incomes . They are commited to excellence and they take care of their employees.

Property Management Systems is TERRIBLE. My wife and I moved out of our apartment on June 6th, 2015. I have called them 15 times about the status of my security deposit and never once have I gotten a direct answer. First, they blamed it on the owner of the building. Now they act like they have no idea what I am talking about. Every time I have called they said they would call me back, but not once has anyone from their office called me. I am currently waiting on the owner of Property Management Systems, Michelle, to call me back. I do not understand why business can not just adhere to proper business

PMS has made my living situation feel like a scam.
Not a single time have they ever responded to the many requests for maintenance I've submitted through their online portal. To get anything done here, I have to call the landlord directly.
They filled our heads with false promises upon signing, and never cared to follow through. They don't do anything but force you to sign a 50 page lease and take your money. Don't believe anything they say.
We've experienced countless plumbing back ups, sewage pooling in our garage, hundreds of flies festering in the sewage. Most recently our downstairs neighbor
