Testimonials

I am relocating from Seattle to San Francisco and I couldn’t have found a place without Mahesh!! He organized a fantastic day of tours for apartments in my budget in different neighborhoods across the city. I have a great dane so finding an apartment that will allow it is quite the challenge, especially in San Francisco. He was professional, helpful, and a joy to spend the day with. I was able to find a place in just a day and my friends warned me it would take weeks! I’d strongly recommend Mahesh’s fantastic services for anyone looking for an apartment in the city.

I am so pleased to have been introduced to Mahesh to help me find an apartment on the Peninsula. I had some unique requirements related to my pets and rental term and too much stress selling my house and looking at others to accomplish everything. I was so impressed to see that Mahesh had prepared a spreadsheet of each pre-screened property as well as their pricing options. He also made sure that each stop was organized by location. He was helpful at each property remembering to ask questions that I had forgotten. He listened to what was important for me (yard for the dog) and made sure that was addressed. I absolutely recommend Mahesh. He really reduced my stress level immensely and I am confident about my apartment choice.

Mahesh was extremely helpful in securing an apartment for my wife and I in San Francisco. I was reassigned for my work on short notice and he was very professional and quick to respond to all questions and emails regarding the unit. I would use Mahesh again and I would enthusiastically recommend his services to friends and colleagues.

Super busy with various projects around my new start up company — some times I barely have time to eat, much less time to find a new apartment to live. We engaged Mahesh and the process became painless and efficient. Mahesh lined up a number of properties that fit our needs and budget, and helped us to accomplish in one day what would normally take us at least two weeks of trawling Craig’s List and time wasting around various real estate sites. Mahesh is knowledgeable, determined, and helpful. Can’t say enough good things about how great the services he provided are, and how cool our new living space is. Mahesh is da Man!
