I've worked this Stuart, Patrick and Adam for 5 years. Always professional, helpful and patience. They rented my SF condo during the pandemic and recently Adam helped me sell my house.

Stuart talked me off the cliff more times then I can count and Adam was always there to answer my
Many questions. This is a company y that is professional and cares about their clients.

Many thanks to Adam, Stuart and Patrick!!!!

I have used Leading Properties for one of my properties located in the Outer Richmond and Patrick was able to rent it within 2 weeks of obtaining the listing. These tenants are still currently there and over the last five years, Stewart has overseen this property with best results for both tenants and owner. I now have another property in the Lone Mountain neighborhood that I have given Patrick to manage and within one week, Adam was able to rent it at a very good rent. This far exceeds any expectations that I had for renting this property during the pandemic as it has been vacant for quite some

I had a first rate experience leasing through Leading Property Management. Stuart does an excellent job - he’s accessible and responsive every time. Professional and friendly service, clear and straightforward - any questions or repairs were handled right away. I just moved and the close out process couldn’t have been easier. Adam Hume handled the front end of my lease with good humor and great service - 5 star service across the board!

DO NOT LEASE PROPERTIES FROM THEM for your own peace of mind !!
We returned the place we leased sparkling clean, and they charged us $450 for carpet cleaning even though we TOLD THEM to notice us prior to deducting any money from our safety deposit.
AND, $450 for carpet cleaning a small studio?!!!
We did not have pets and I used to vacuum clean the carpets at least once per week!!! There were no stains on the carpet whatsoever and we returned the place cleaner than what we received back in 2019.
What is worse than charging us is that no one in the company is answering our call/emails.

Highly recommend for your San Francisco rental needs! Stuart and the team at Leading Properties truly provide a first class rental experience. True professionals, their responsiveness and willingness to resolve property issues immediately cannot be understated. I always received same day feedback/callbacks from Stuart, and typically the issue was corrected in a day. From move in, residency to move out, I cannot offer high enough praise to Stuart and the Leading Property team! Top choice for San Francisco Rental needs.

Such a disappointment!!! Adam sounded fine over the phone but in person was agitated, unprofessional and very pushy. Like he had more important things he'd rather be doing. I overhead him talking to, I guess, a colleague, complaining about what sounded like a cleaning crew but he was really dismissive and entitled-sounding. DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY!!! He made excuses for the elevator and for the door opener, instead of just getting them up to par.

I had a great experience moving in to a Leading Properties managed unit. Everyone I interacted with throughout the process was friendly, accessible, and responsive, and they were kind enough to get me keys in advance of my move-in date. Highly recommended!

The worst property management I've worked with in 10 years living in San Francisco. I am not sure where to begin with Stuart and Patrick. These are unprofessional, unethical, sexist, and frankly rude people.

When we moved in, many things were broken and it was near impossible to get ahold of someone to fix them. Moving out was equally as painful. They blatantly disregarded the SF Tenant Union by not doing a final walk through with us, not giving us a chance to to fix minor damage, and charging $180 for leaving a bag of ice in the freezer.

Please be ware - do not rent a place under their

My fiance and I were very pleased working with Leading Properties over the last year. From the beginning, Leading Properties and Stuart in particular, have been a pleasure. They are accommodating and very responsive to every request or question we had. Especially through many frustrating washing machine issues, Stuart was always helpful in finding solutions and coordinating repairmen to come by quickly. Needless to say we were bummed when we received notice that the owner of our unit wanted to sell, because we could have stayed there a while! It's easy in this housing market to be weary of

I've been living in a Leading Properties managed apartment for three years now, and I continue to be impressed by them. Consistently fair and responsive. Renting in this city isn't easy, for either the tenant or the owner. Patrick and Stuart make it MUCH less painful for everyone.

In terms of property management - Patrick is responsive, professional and reliable. He takes care of everything. Absolutely worth it.

In terms of finding tenants all I can say is every tenant Patrick has found for us has been great. Again - worth it.

Five stars to Patrick at Leading Properties. I live 3 hours away from my rental home in San Francisco. When the former tenant gave notice after twelve years, I was able to completely refurbish the house inside and outside with all new appliances.

It was so beautiful that I wanted the next tenants to be of the highest standards and integrity without having to handle any day to day requests of theirs. I interviewed several property management companies and found Patrick at the top of the list.

Our rental homes are one of our major investments especially if you are retired like myself. It was

When we decided to look for another in apartment here in San Francisco, I was absolutely dreading going through the process! Patrick made the process quick and easy, which with a toddler tagging along was so helpful! We attended the open house on Tuesday, he called us Wednesday to let us know the apartment was ours, we signed the contract Thursday, and got the keys on Friday. Stress-free and exciting! Thank you Patrick for all of your help.

A bonus, his assistant Normita, is also friendly and helpful. She provided my toddler with a pen and paper while we signed the contract and was willing

Never did I think looking for an apartment, in San Francisco of all places, would be this easy!

We attended the open house for our new place last Saturday and are moving in this weekend. Needless to say Leading Property didn't waste any time.

The staff is super friendly and helpful. Patrick, who helped us with everything from showing us the property to writing up our lease, truly went above and beyond! Any questions or concerns we had he was there to answer and address all of them. I felt like more than just a sale, Patrick was very invested and helped us throughout the whole process

As a college student hard-pressed for both time and money, working with Patrick was a perfect pairing. He was concise and expedient when working with my roommates and I to rent another home; that is not to say, thought, that he wasn't considerate and professional--rather, he managed to exemplify all of the above qualities.

He worked with us even though one of our roommates was absent, and did his best to adapt to our needs as such. With his help we were able to sign a lease and acquire keys to a new and beautiful property in a matter of days. His thoughtfulness and levelheaded work were

Patrick has gone beyond my expectations. With living so far away from my property he made the transaction so easy. To have a property listed less than a week in this market is amazing. I would highly recommend Patrick to anyone who is looking for a real professional to handle their property.

Patrick at Leading Properties has been excellent to work with at our apartment. They've been up front, fair, responsive and accommodating when I've needed something so far. A relationship like this evolves over the course of a lease and I'm hoping I'll have similarly good things to say when eventually moving out — but my experience thus far makes me positive that will continue to be the case.
