I've gotta say, moving to SF can be a hussle which is why I can say I'm glad to have found Allie from Raskin Real Estate. This wasn't the first time I've moved up to SF but this time it's more permanent and I was expecting the ordeal of finding "the perfect place" to be much more stressful that it was. I am pleased to say that dealing with Allie was nothing but proffesional and easy. She was always very quick to respond; I was surprised to hear back nearly 20 minutes after my initial enquiry on the ad _after_ normal buissiness hours. She was very understanding

I only write reviews based on quality of service and have extremely high expectations. Working with Zena and Raskin Real Estate has been an absolute delight.
I don't know if people had bad landlord experiences and mistakenly thought Raskin had anything to do with it but RASKIN IS NOT YOUR LANDLORD- this review focuses on THIS business. Renting and moving is one of the most stressful unpleasant things in the world, but Zena (and the lovely Bella who I didn't even directly work with but met in their office) are just lovely! It is evident they work hard for their clients and are loyal

Raskin Real Estate has provided me with the best apartment experience I've had in my 4 years in San Francisco.
From the first viewing I had of my current home, to every small thing I've needed fixed around my place, Raskin has been responsive, fast, polite, and very accommodating of my schedule.
The main contact for tenants, Zeina, has solved any problem within 24 hours. And the proprietor of the company, Richard, clearly takes pride in providing a quality living experience for tenants.
The neighbors in my building have resided here for 20 and 40 years respectively, so I think it

I have no idea why Raskin had such horrible reviews. I think they got a new manager because Raskin Real Estate is seriously the best I have ever worked with. We have had a ton of issues with our house and they have fixed everything and super quick too. I felt annoying because I kept asking for stuff but they were always there with a positive attitude. Zeina is the best. She is so understanding and amazing to work with.We love her! I will always try to go with Raskin because they have completely exceeded my expectations.

I live next door to a Raskin managed property. There have been a string of unhappy renters that have come and gone. Raskin does not respond when there is a problem. And, they do not respond when there is a problem that needs to be resolved between the property they manage and me, i.e. leaking sewer pipe that they took months to repair! I would never willlingly deal with them.

I found Raskin Real Estate to be great - its wonderful to see a family run business thriving in SF. I rented an apartment from them in the Mission and found them to be super diligent and responsive to my needs for repairs and concerns related to my apartment. they returned my deposit promptly and were very accommodating to meeting at times that fit my hectic schedule when I was first viewing the property. Zena was a consummate professional and very nice to work with. I highly recommend supporting this local business and renting from them

The front door lock broke so our apartment building had to remain unlocked -- for over 2 years.
My upstairs neighbour's fridge broke and it took them 4 months to replace it.
Water piping work was done illegally and water filters out the side of the house.
Heater broke and was never fixed during my tenancy.
Garage door was never fully functioning and was late for work on two occasions because they did not send a repairman on time and my car was stuck inside.
"You left a voicemail? We don't check those."
Back porch nearly collapsed before they sent someone to repair it

We have had a number of issues while living at a Raskin Real Estate Property since February 2009. The day we moved in and got our keys, they gave us the wrong keys so we had to wait for a locksmith to come and rekey the house. Then we noticed that none of the doors within the house worked properly so we had to wait another two weeks for those repairs. The water in the house upon moving in was rusty and the kitchen sink barely worked. These repairs were not made until May 2009 and involved city inspection and notices. Next, the kitchen light stopped working and again we had to wait for repairs and

My roommate and I found an apartment in the Mission run but Raskin Real Estate a couple years ago. It was a really nice apartment in a not so cute block. The rent was such a good deal on the 2 BR apartment that we jumped at the chance. During the first viewing we noticed a drawer in the kitchen was loose or stuck and asked if this is something that they can repair before we moved in and property manager who showed us the apt said, "you can just take a screwdriver and fix it yourself."
That should have been the first clue. We agreed to take the apartment but had to give 30 days notice

I do not understand people who left good reviews for Raskin real estate. I guess they just asked their friends or relatives to do that : ). Because the business they do and service they provide is awful and hardly can be rated higher that one star.
My family and I had bad experience dealing with them. First day we moved in they clearly stated - we are NOT cleaning anything neither we will fix anything that was broken by previous tenants. Do you like it already? Moreover, Nick was very rude and acted unprofessionally. It was very unpleasant to deal with him. Also, there was a girl named Zina or

If I could give Raskin zero or negative stars I definitely would. The only reason they have a semi good rating on Yelp is because the locksmith in which they employ is trying to make them look good, as for "Gregor," I'm not sure what his deal is...
The first time I met the locksmith was the day I got the keys to my new apartment, or so I thought. As I got to the apartment and tried to unlock the door I learned that the keys didn't even work. The locksmith had to come over a make new keys. Then once inside the house, my roommate and I learned the not one of the doors in the

Hmmm...I'm a property manager myself and not at all impressed with Nick or Rich. In fact, I wouldn't recommend them to owners and/or landlords since they don't pay their bills in a timely manner.
So if you're looking for a property management company to manage your income property and are considering hiring these guys, THINK AGAIN...do you want to hire a company who isn't responsible enough to pay their own bills?

To be fair, I'm basing this review on my experiences with Raskin from 2005-2006, so things might have changed. Raskin managed the apartment building where we lived for a while, during its transition period from a rental building to selling the condos (it was built as condos, which were rented out until all units were finished and the owners were ready to sell them). Since they were planning on selling the units, they stopped caring about renters. They wouldn't fix the leak under our back door, they were indifferent to the break-ins that occurred in their garage, and they generally

This firm is simply, just adequate. they are not really "hands-on" enough to suit me and at least one mess that one tenant continues to leave in one unit has never been cleaned up and, in short, they do not enforce basic rules adequately.
their phone answering machine in their office is not adequate and one cannot leave a message after keying the employee name.
