Services
Our team of professional leasing agents is as diverse as the city itself. Our lives are varied, but we have one thing in common, our passion for real estate. Every one of our dedicated leasing agents is a real estate investor and property owner. We know what it takes to make the most of your real estate investments with the least amount of hassle.
Those who know Jackie know she is a determined, persistent woman who makes things happen. So began her real estate career back in 1995, when she could not find a place that would take her Great Dane. She not only found a place for the two of them, she found herself a new career. As a strong believer in the philosophy of 'if you think you can, you can', lack of cash didn't deter Jackie from buying her first rental property.
Sheri joined Rentals in SF in 2003 as their first dedicated lease agent and is an invaluable team member helping match the best tenants with great landlords. Working with multi-unit apartment owners and property managers, her goal is to make the rental experience a better one for everyone involved.
Liz Pisco comes to Rentals In SF with a wealth of skills to bring tenants and landlords together. She is committed to the search for great, qualified tenants and has a proven track record of doing so. As a licensed real estate agent and investor, Liz has the understanding and experience to fully qualify potential tenants and match the right tenants to our clients' vacancies.
Taylor has been a licensed agent for over 12 years and holds a Bachelors of Arts Degree in Communications/Marketing.

Having been an owner of a condominium and the president of the board, he has a familiar understanding of multifamily living.

We just rented a new place using Rentals in SF and it was a fantastic experience! Communication was fast and effective all the way through the process - from scheduling a viewing, to coordinating a meeting with the owner, to getting the move-in fees paid and lease signed. Liz and Greg were super helpful and professional. We are so excited for our new place and are so thankful to Rentals in SF!

We listed our flat in the Richmond District with Taylor from Rentals in SF late November 2021'. After a two year remodel, a friend recommended this agency. They were very professional and came out to video the flat and gathered all the information needed for the listing. During a very difficult time for both property owners as well as perspective clients, they were able to get my property leased within two months. Taylor was very efficient and professional. I will be recommending his service and the agency to all of my friends and relatives.

We had a great experience with Taylor from Rentals in SF, he always responded promptly, answering all of our questions. We were able to schedule a tour even though the he was out of town, and continued to receive great service even through the holiday season when most people were out of office and not responding. The whole team was patient and flexible with us as we dealt with roommate issues which we really appreciated!! They are a great team to work with and we love the apartment.

Liz Pisco was great and easy to work with. She was able to help me find a rental home within a week! She was very responsive and gave updates throughout the whole process. After the application was approved and the deposits were made, she quickly put me in contact with the landlord to receive the key. It was overall a quick and painless process!!

Worked with Liz Pisco to rent a new spot in SF. Liz was responsive in answering questions and getting our initial tour sorted, as well as follow-up questions after the tour. Liz kept us in the loop to ensure we could get our application in at the appropriate time. Overall, very easy and pain-free. Thanks!

I viewed 2 apartments that were listed by Rentals In SF, The first property was shown by someone who was filling in. She was on time, but did not know anything about the unit, she was only able to open the apartment unit and door. The unit had various issues that we were concerned about.

Second unit we viewed was a long drawn out process to get an appointment, I had to follow up with the agent 3 times only to discover this was more of an open house situation not a private viewing. The unit smelled moldy, had clear signs of extensive water damage and drywall rot. 2nd unit in the same building also

Jackie Tom and Anh Vu were amazing to work with on finding my new home and favorite listing in San Francisco after a long arduous search without them.

If I were you I would just cut the fat and go straight to their website and forget house hunting elsewhere! Would have saved me so much time and heart ache.

Their responsiveness was out of this world! Especially compared to waiting to hear from other agents and calling and emailing repeatedly to get a rushed and unhelpful two word text if anything at all.

They went out of their way to assist my search-- followed up via text when they didn&apos

We had to follow up 3 times to hear back if our application was accepted or not. We ended up getting a response a week later saying that someone had offered to pay more rent, which I don't even know how they would go about that as there is no space for that on the application and it is so hard to get in contact with them.

We just got our apartment in SF through Rentals In SF and had a great experience! Taylor was amazing - super responsive, thorough, friendly, and honest - throughout the whole process. Their system was really easy to use and everything was very streamlined. I'd highly recommend working with them, and Taylor specifically if you have the chance!

Very satisfied with the support I received from Taylor during my apartment search. I reached out about a property and within a day, was able to schedule a (COVID-safe) viewing.

Thank you, Taylor, for your responsiveness, patience, and expertise. Could not have imagined a more smooth leasing process! I felt very comfortable reaching out with follow-up questions, and also felt confident that the entirety of the application process was secure.

* One small note is that the Rentals In SF website is excellent, the photos/video of the unit I looked at quite accurately portrayed the actual vibe/feel

No one showed up for my showing,ignored my texts and calls and later in the day finally returned to me giving me some lame excuses and apologies. Also said that there was a new place that just opened up and she would get back to me so I could be the first one to check it out. It's been a month and I haven't heard from her

Add on*
We exchanged several emails confirming the appointment, otherwise I wouldn't have showed up at the time and correct location. And yes,I fit in all the criteria.
The florist below the unit offered to call the owner after she noticed I was standing outside

Message to Landlords thinking about using this agency:

As a prospective tenant I saw an apartment with Rentals in SF in January 2021. They were by far the most disorganized rental agency I've dealt with. My first cancelling on Monday was cancelled and not rescheduled for another week (Shame because I really liked the apartment and wanted to rent it right away). Furthermore, I could not get any leasing agent on the phone and they often took a few days to respond to emails.

When I finally got a chance to see the unit, no leasing agent was able to come to site, only a lackey who could only

Scheduled to view an apartment that was listed as a 1BR/2BA at 5pm on a Tuesday.

The YouTube video tour indicated that the place was only a 1BR/1BA but I was willing (at that point) to overlook the incorrect information on the listing.

I left work early, spent 30 minutes getting to the unit, and showed up at 5pm on Tuesday. I texted the agent (Liz) that I'd arrived and she responded that our appointment was for Wednesday. I forwarded her the email again where she specifically said Tuesday at 5pm.

She acknowledged that she made a mistake and gave me my options: wait 2 hours for her colleague

I found a beautiful one-bed on craigslist that Jackie Tom had listed. We went back and forth quickly over email. We made a next day appointment and by the end of that day I had locked down the place. The pace of working together was fantastic and it was extremely easy to get the deal done. Since signing the deal all of the next steps have been met with speedy and renter friendly responses. I would recommend Jackie to anyone who wants a great and fast experience.

Terrible experience with this company as whole, but mostly emailed with Jennifer Risano, who was absolutely terrible as far as helping/working at all.

I've read some of the previous reviews, and the owner always is prompt in responding to the negative ones, and trying to shift blame to the reviewer, but after so many negative reviews, Im concerned about why they never realize they are the actual problems?

I saw an apartment on CL that I loved and really wanted to see and check out in person. I emailed Jennifer, and never got a response back. I emailed a few more times, no response, then

I had a viewing with Jennifer Rissano. I had high hopes for the unit and working with them to find my next home. However, her lack of customer service was appalling. You would think she would at least be kind enough to introduce herself, tell me about the unit in a manner that wasn’t so dry and unenthusiastic. She might have been having a bad morning? Maybe she wasn’t happy that it was Sunday and she was working? Maybe it was the rain? Who knows. But I sure didn’t deserve that lack of customer service. She did the bare minimum.
UPDATE:
Met with the owner, who called me directly. She was

I have been using Jackie Tom and Sheri Castilyn from Rentals In SF for decades. It's long past time for me to post a review. This company is totally professional, and Sheri and Jackie have bent over backwards many times to assist me with rentals. They are highly skilled, really good communicators, they have always given me good advice, and they deal with everyone with integrity and diligence. Since I began using their services many years ago I have never used anyone else.

Taylor was able to help us lease 3 units (3x2, 2x2, and a 2x1) in our 8-unit apartment complex in the Richmond District. We were targeting above average market rents and Taylor was able to help us accomplish this. He was flexible, attentive to details, very personable, and easy to communicate with. As a landlord, I would highly recommend Taylor and the Rentals in SF team. I will absolutely be using them in the future.

Rentals in SF – and specifically Sheri Castilyn – provided a seamless property management experience from move in to move out, and everything in between. Sheri was quick to respond, honest, and helpful in case of any maintenance or other issue in our Russian Hill apartment. When moving out, Sheri provided exact tips to get the most of our security deposit back, even as far as sending links for free bulky item pickup and being flexible with dates for our final inspection.
I would absolutely recommend Rentals in SF as a property management firm as a renter in the Bay Area.
