Property Owner Testimonials

There are many Real Estate Brokers out there, but I find Azari Property Management exceptionally well-balanced with the way they carryout the business. They personally involved with their clients and very family oriented. Their staff (Brendon, Louisa, and Olga) are very professional and value their clients very much so. They treat you like people and their friends. I've been through a lot in my life and I never thought there would still people out there like Brendon, Louisa and Olga. They responded to me promptly and timely whenever I needed something or had questions. I appreciate and feel very grateful to their continued support and the services that I've received from them. Keep up the excellent work!

We have rented from several rental agencies & landlords in San Francisco. We can say without a doubt, none of them have even come close to comparing with Azari Property Management. I regret that I didn't find them sooner! Azari stands so far above the rest because, they are highly professional. Renters are treated as high valued clients, which in my experience is rare. In addition, we felt confident through the whole process that things would be done to our level of satisfaction. We can't say any of these things for other rental agencies we've rented from.Working with Olga and Brandon was great. They are exceptional and truly make the process seamless. Plus, we know we can contact them for anything....You definitely, can't say that about other rental agencies in San Francisco! We couldn't be happier with our experience :-)

A few weeks ago, I decided to rent out my condo in SF. After reading the reviews on Azari Property Management, I decided to contact them. They had so many positive reviews from many satisfied clients. I am writing this review to say that I had nothing but great experiences with Azari Property Management teams (John, Yong, Brandon, Olga).

I tremendously enjoyed working with John for his professionalism, dedication, timely updates on each showings, and most of all his great sense of humor. He understood my needs, and responded with dedicated attention as if the property was his own. They showed my place on weekends, holidays, and evenings! I am also very happy with the professional and dependable tenant that they found for my condo. They are truly great people and great team!

Azari took on the task of managing my SF condo when I relocated to TX. They are very knowledgeable about the SF rental markets and set expectations on day 1. There is a lot of legwork involved in finding a renter, and it was a huge relief to have them take on this task. The team worked together to get the unit ready for rental (painting, carpet cleaning, etc), market the property, and schedule showings. Yianni (John), Brandon, Yong, et al, were so great to work with. They gave me regular status updates and went above and beyond to find a good tenant. I know my property and new tenant are in excellent hands.

We were very nervous about finding a reputable property manager in San Francisco after hearing so many horror stories and experiencing some of our own. Azari was incredibly professional and a joy to work with. We always felt like they were looking out for our best interests and definitely cared about our property staying in good condition. They handled every maintenance issue very quickly and were available to answer questions or help us at the drop of a hat. Brandon was particularly helpful with making sure everything was taken care of so we never had to worry about our house and always very kind and easy to work withI would HIGHLY recommend using them to anyone looking to manage their property or looking to rent.

Thanks to Azari Property Management, I was able to lease out our beautiful house in San Francisco very quickly. It was a real pleasant surprise for us that Genie actually found great tenants on the first day that she showed our house. Genie’s thorough research and preparation for leasing my house was impressive. Manzar’s expertise in leasing, as well as her detailed explanations on the pros and cons of each option we had on the lease arrangement, made it easy for us to make the right decisions. Manzar was very friendly, personal, easy going, and yet, very professional in every aspect. Manzar’s office team was extremely efficient and pleasant to work with, and the services they provided to us were valuable. Overall, they have an outstanding team, and I am grateful on the excellent services provided to us with a very short notice.

~ mhsuh

My experience with Azari has been wonderful. They are absolutely honest, capable, and responsive, and they have been consistently so throughout all my interactions with Manzar and the Azari team. Each person I've interacted with has also been genuinely personable and friendly. They are a 100% reliable and well organized company, in an industry where almost all of the competition gets terrible marks from clients. Few decision are as easy as this one -- work with Azari if you get the chance!

In the past nine months of my experience with Azari Property Management, this young yet robust company has demonstrated high commitment to resolving my homeowner’s unique wants and needs. The company’s charismatic leader, Manzar Azari, has gratified me with trust, enthusiastic future, and profound attention to my personal situation. Whenever I came to her office on business, Manzar and her staff made me feel part of a warm, caring, and well-functional family.

I rented out my beautiful house through Azari. My agent Chaman was just awesome, very helpful and explained all the peculiarities of the company's services. They found tenants for me in no time and now I am sure that I will always receive rent from Azari on time and that the propertry is taken care of. Thank you!

~ Shirin

I swear by Azari. These guys are quality!

When I decided to hire a management firm to manage renting my condo in San Francisco, I didn't really know how important this decision would be for me. They not only found a renter, but manage the entire relationship. My renter has required frequent attention which I could not have provided because I don't live in San Francisco. Azari not only provides needed attention promptly, but they also check with me in advance before doing anything to be sure I am comfortable with their suggestions. Their service has made renting trouble free.

~ Robert

I have enjoyed a successful, friendly, and happy business partnership with Ms. Manzar Azari and Company. They have managed and taken care of my home as if it were their own home. I have every faith in the complete competency and professionalism of their firm. I can be at ease with their care of my home, because I know they are always on the ball, both in the small details and on the larger issues, concerning the property management of my home. Ms. Manzar Azari and Company have always been quick to respond and take care of any concern or problem that has arisen. They are a positive solution oriented firm with a "can do" attitude. I can with all honesty and truth recommend them highly to any prospective client.

~ Angelique

Thanks for the quick response. As always, I appreciate your professionalism and efficient services.
~ Rene

I just wanted to thank you for all you kindness towards me and help during this process. As I have found, the market in San Francisco is a cutthroat one, and it is always a pleasure and a relief to encounter someone personable and patient. I know appreciate your help with everything and look forward to seeing you tomorrow.

The company’s charismatic leader, Manzar Azari, has gratified me with trust, enthusiastic future, and profound attention to my personal situation. Whenever I came to her office on business, Manzar and her staff made me feel part of a warm, caring, and well-functional family.

My two cents: If you are weary of disintegrated and impersonal corporate dealers, you may consider in earnest Manzar’s attentive and passionate management style. She is a tireless enthusiast with high professional standards. I met both of my tenants whom she had placed in my condo. I say she couldn’t have done a better job—the tenants have been responsible, considerate, communicative, and simply beautiful people. If Manzar means “good tenants,” they are more likely to be excellent. If she says “don’t worry,” you are likely to be pacified by a series of detailed got-it-done briefings. This is a truly people-centered company, exuding the well-being, care and ease in a generous family style.

Best Leasing Company in San Francisco - hands down
I phoned Azari on a Sunday needing help quickly to find a leasing property for my foreign client. They actually phoned me back. On a Sunday! Not only that, I was assigned to an agent immediately who got to work looking for quality matches to meet my client's needs. Azari's people, service, quality of their listings and way of doing business makes looking for a leasing property a relief - just knowing that they are on the job making sure they are showing properties that truly meet my client's criteria is such a relief. I will use Azari again and again and again. Two thumbs up!
~ SaraBarra

I have been with Azari Property Management for a year now and I could not be happier. Manzar and her staff are always there when I need them. Mazar has become a trusted friend who always goes the extra mile. I would recomend Azari property management to anyone in need of a property management services.
~ Mark S
Pros: Honest and reliable Cons: None

They helped me to purchase a condo and found a tenant fast
Genie Mantzoros at Azari Property Management has great communication skills and a sense of humor to keep all transactions as stress free as possible for her clients. She knows all the details so you don't have to worry about them. I have bought property with Genie and she manages my rental property as well. I will not hesitate to utilize her expertise in the future. Azari Property Management is the company that you want on your team.
Pros: prompt response  Cons: none
~ Melanie J

Reliable and Honest!
This past spring my company asked me to relocate to the NorthEast for a few years. Of course, I didn't want to sell my apartment but I knew that trying to manage a property from soo far away would be a hassle. My graduate school class advisor recommended that I reach out to Azari and I am soo glad that I did! Manzar and Inna have been absolutely wonderful. They worked very hard to find me not just the right tenant but one that will be reliable (i.e. pay the rent on time!) I would recommend them to anyone looking for a property management company that will treat them with respect and honesty and who will take care of their property like it is their own.
Pros: Will treat you like you are family.  Cons: None
~ Runner

Pros: Always there and ready!
~ Steve

PROFESSIONAL, FRIENDLY and most importantly FAST!
At first, I've interviewed quite a few PM companies in the San Jose area, then I found a property management company who said they have over 100 years of experience in the Santa Clara county and they promised to rent it with in 2 weeks at top dollar. All baloney! Almost 4 months went by and not a soul visited my condo. Then I went to Azari Property Management hoping that they can rent out my condo for me in a timely manner. To my surprise, both Manzar and Shawn were very friendly, professional and did not give me any baloney. In just a little over 2 weeks, they secure 2 highly qualified tenants in contract at the rental rate I wanted and my condo was occupied just a few weeks after. My problem was solved. Bottom line, Azari Property Management is Professional, Friendly and fast. I highly recommend their services.
~ Alan

Azari Property Management: Manzar's great!!
Manzar has been very proactive and detailed oriented when managing our rental property. I've been very impressed. She has gone out of her way in handling any issue we might face with our tenant. I'm very pleased with her property management work and will continue to use her service in the future.
~ Gloria

My experience with Azari Property Management in the management of my residential property was very satisfying. They were the quintessential professionals and I highly recommend their services. I believe that using this firm would be highly accretive for anyone seeking high level professional property management.
Pros: highly accretive  Cons: None

so far so good
I wanted to get my place in the mission rented fast. Within a week, Manzar and Inna had set up open houses, within a couple weeks she found a tenant and had a rental agreement all set up. The best thing is that both Manzar and Inna have been very responsive. I had called a few other property managers and ended up playing phone tag. If you call Manzar she either picks up within a few rings or calls you back within minutes.

The owner and staff are very professional and friendly. I had interviewed other property management firms in San Francisco and her company was the only one that came across as easy and straightforward to work with. Mrs. Azari is very responsive and she is proactive in her dealings with the owners and tenants. I have no doubt that she would be my first choice in handling my other properties when I choose to rent them out.
Pros: Professional and friendly staff
~ Rene

San Francisco's BEST property management company!!
World class and top of the list! Prompt response, Excellent negotiator, really feels at home! I could not be happier with the service I recived from Azria Property Management. From finding a contractor to fix the house to making sure the repairs were done right and on time Manzar and her team earned my complete trust. I would recommend them to anyone in need of a property management company. Thanks Inna, Shawn & Manzar..
Pros: Great in all respects, quick response  Cons: It is hard to catch up with their team!
~ CM

Highly personal and responsive professional service
Ms. Manzar Azari will be highly perceptive of your needs, and will have the most personal and responsive approach imaginable in the property management industry. Whether she responds to your personal wishes, critical timeline or unforeseen circumstances, she will manage your property-related business from A to Z in a professional manner that exudes competence, optimism, and problem-solving attitude. She is highly dedicated to finding a “good” tenant for you, amazingly responding even to such culturally-specific requests as “Would a prospective tenant take shoes off in my house?” Importantly, when you decide on the tenant of your choice, Ms. Azari will provide you with an accounting and reporting process that is transparent and easy to follow. She succeeds in doing exactly what she plans to do for you. You are likely to take her out to a nice lunch because you are immensely grateful for her exceptional service and presence in your life.
Pros: Great communication, always available, makes you feel you are a priority, problem solver
Cons: Plan to have a good conversational time--you will not finish business in three minutes, but details will be worked out

I currently live overseas in Sydney, Australia and just recently finished remodeling a 2 unit complex home in San Francisco. I was looking for a property management team that could manage our property in SF while we are overseas indefinitely and chose Azari Management based on their reviews from tenants and property owners on the internet. I have been very impressed with the level of service the company and staff, particularly Manzar (the owner), and Inna have provided me. The service is wonderful and first class - it's prompt, courteous, friendly and knowledgeable. Problems are addressed immediately and given full attention. They have done a great job so far and I would highly recommend them.

One year ago I needed to begin renting my apartment because I was moving out of state. I did a significant amount of research because I was so concerned about finding a property manager who would care for my house as much as I do. Manzar Azari was by far the best of anyone I found, and has exceeded all of my expectations over that time frame.

During my research, Manzar willingly gave me tenant and client contact information so that I could research her more fully. Each of her references were glowing, and now I understand why. Manzar took care of finding me my new tenants, negotiating my rent, and signing the lease. Over the past year, her management company has sent me monthly statements on time, and transferred the money to my account like clockwork.

In addition, one of my tenants recently had to move out before the lease was up. Manzar's company took care of everything (including a credit check), and everything seems to be working out perfectly. I recommend Manzar's services to anyone who is looking for a very personal relationship with their property manager.

This small company provides outstanding personalized service. They manage my 2 unit home in SF. Their strengths include: timely response to inquiries and tenant issues, terrific screening and selection of tenants, careful yearly inspections, timely updates on maintenance, and well organized record keeping. Their gut feelings about rent amounts are dead on. Their fees were very reasonable, esp compared to larger management firms. I think what is best is that each issue is handled in a customized, personal way that just does not happen in larger companies. I will use them again if I have other properties to manage. Highest recommendation.

Manzar is hands down the best property manager in the bay area. She makes things happen very rapidly and efficiently. Whenever we had concerns or questions about our house Manzar was completely available for us. It was so wonderful to find her after dealing with so many others who gave us the run around. Manzar and Azari Property are truly amazing.

Tenant Testimonials

As a renter, I usually shy away from property mgmt companies. In my experience, they’ve always taken advantage of their 3rd party nature and done everything in their power to suck away every cent we have. In fact, for a long time I thought their entire purpose was to enable a landlord to find creative ways to keep a security deposit and to defer any repair requests behind a wall of red tape.

That all changed when we met Manzar Azari (Broker at Azari Property Management ). Manzar has been the opposite of that impersonal evil that had turned us so off to rental agencies in the past. The direct result to the landlord, is that we as renters respect the property much more then if we just temporary occupants.

Manzar makes us feel like we’re staying in our Mom’s place. Accordingly, we take it upon ourselves to effect smaller repairs, and work diligently to improve the property in most circumstances. At a minimum we try to minimize our impact in all things, just out of respect for Manzar’s work ethic and touch. 

The long and the short of it is, if you hire Azari Property Management to manage your property you won’t get the faceless corp that doesn’t care about you, the property, or your renters. They have the unique gift of bringing all the parties together, mediating on needs, keeping everything fair, and it makes renting painless.

You can’t ask for more then that as either a renter or a landlord. I hope to continue my relationship with Azari Prop Mgmt until such a time as I become an owner myself.
~ M W

I have met over a dozen property managers in the past month, and you are by far the best! Thank you for listening to and understanding my needs in a home and suggesting the Ulloa house. I described it to Lori, and she is very excited. I think she will love it as I did. I look forward to giving you our deposit on Monday when Lori gets a chance to see the place in person. Please email me the application, as I will complete it before seeing you on Monday.
~ Amber

Thank you Manzar, I feel lucky to have found you.

Are you ready to rent!?!?
I have been a renter for a many years now in cities ranging from Kapaa Kauaii to Redding California and in all my years I have never known a property manager like Manzar Azari. She is one of a kind. It's hard leaving home, being away from the protection of my family in one cold town after another. But with Manzar Azari at my side i feel like I am right back at home with my mother watching over me. I got a problem, she's gonna fix it; I need some help, she's gonna give it. Heck, she even gave me her personal cell number!!! Not to mention that the woman can cook some of the best Iranian cuisine I have ever known! To put it simply: if you are looking for a property manager that is going to make things happen and not stop until mission accomplished then look no further. The secret about Maznar Azari is that she doesn't want to just be your property manager, she wants to be your friend. Thanks Manzar, thanks for being my friend.
~ Terflinger
Pros: The pros are: there are no cons!!!!

Excellent customer service
I would highly recommend Azari Management to anyone moving to San Francisco. My husband and I found an apartment that we loved and Manzar took care of everything else. She met with us on a Sunday evening to begin our paperwork and we had our keys the following Thursday. Manzar and Inna truly went above and beyond and I could not be happier.
~ Stomayko

convenient for renters
We rented an apartment from Manzar at Azari Property Management. The apartment is great, and her management is generally nice and hands-off. She offered convenient payment options like pre-dating checks. She's a fun person as well. Manzar is there to answer questions when we have them and communicate needs to the landlord, although she tends to be more of his advocate than ours - good for him I guess though as he's the primary customer and she keeps us out of his hair! However on repairs and such it has generally made more sense to just deal with him directly. I was hesitant to go with a managed rental but now I see that it's actually quite convenient.
~ Cirox

Best Landlord in the City
I moved to the city and contacted Manzar about apartments in the city and within a few hours she had locations for me to view. The first apartment I viewed was all it took and I couldn't be happier. I cannot recommend Manzar highly enough and she will be my first call whenever I am looking.
Pros: Great locations, views, and fast.
~ Tiny Tim

Very Professional and Attentive
Manzar and Inna at Azari Property Management do their very best to make the rental process as painless and easy as possible. They are attentive and very professional. We've had no complaints so far and would recommend them to anyone looking for a place. We are renters, not landlords, so we can only speak for the tenant side of things, but they've been great!
~ Roy

FEELS LIKE HOME!
Manzar really did her best to make us feel at home. With our situation she was able to make us feel comfortable and put us at ease by showing us quick results. She did more for us in the first 2 weeks than anyone else has done up to that point. Really above and beyond her duties. A+ Service. Thank you!
Pros: Friendly,Warm,Professional,Always a phone call away,Knows the best breakfast spots in town!
Cons: None, she's great!
~ Esotelo

great experience
My roommates and I were looking for a suitable apartment/house for some time. During the arduous process of scouring the depths of various online sources, we stumbled upon Azari Property Management. Our experience with Azari has been excellent, to say the least. I was moving back to San Francisco August first and needed an apartment/house when I got there. I didn't want to deal with finding a unit when I arrived to the city. Azari had a posting for a very nice three-bedroom home for rent; the posting was on a well-known online resource, i.e., craigs... Having submitted my application material less than a week before arriving in SF, I had a place the moment I got to the city. Azari made the process simple and pleasant. I highly recommend the services of Azari Property Management for anyone looking for nice unit in the San Francisco bay area.
Pros: Great service, many listings.
~ Alireza

a true professional
Whenever I have an issue at my apartment, Manzar is always very responsive. She goes out of her way to help me fix the problem and is very sweet.

Worldclass, premier service!
Manzar was incredibly gracious and sweet to us in our apartment search. She was flexible with timing, prompt with deadlines, and very warm and motherly--in a good way! We were thrilled with her service and would definitely recommend her. Such a breath of fresh air in the this city of craigslist disasters!
~ Jocem

Excellent and personal service!
I couldn't have asked for a more pleasant experience in looking for an apartment than I received with Azari properties. After I moved to San Francisco from New York, I knew I had a minimal amount of time to find an apartment. I searched furiously for a week, scouring Craigslist and going to impersonal open houses. As soon as I set foot in the apartment I now call my own, I knew it was the perfect place. Manzar was wonderful—she was professional and helpful and made me feel completely comfortable. During the process of signing my lease, I truly felt Manzar was on my side to have all my needs met. She always answered her phone, was prompt at responding emails, and was the perfect mediator between myself and my landlady during the lease-signing process. If you are looking for a friendly, personal, and professional experience while searching for an apartment, then look no further.
Pros: Professional, friendly
~ Lisa

Azari Property Management goes above and beyond your expectations!
Wow. Let me first start by saying, thank you again Azari Property Management for not only helping me find my amazing apartment but for helping with my transition to this new and exciting city. About a month ago I relocated to San Francisco from Charlotte, NC. Not knowing a single soul or anything about the city, I decided to go on Craig's list to look for an apartment. I found Azari Property Management, checked out the website and called. From the moment Manzar answered the phone I felt so much more comfortable about my move. I informed Azari Property Management of my arrival time and Manzar went as far as offering to pick me up from the airport! Knowing that I was in a major time crunch, she didn't want me to worry about finding a unit, so she offered me her loft to stay in temporarily until we found the perfect unit! Manzar was able to find me an amazing apartment within just a few days of my arrival to the city! I couldn't believe it. The apartment fit my every requirement except that it came semi-furnished. Among the many things that Manzar was able to negotiate with the owner, one was having the furniture moved out since my furniture was already on its way over! I was stunned at how much time and dedication Azari Property Management put in this whole operation. I told her that I needed a lock on my window and the next day she personally went to the hardware store and had someone install the lock for me! The day my furniture was being delivered she called and offered to come over to help me move everything in! I just can't say enough about how much Azari Property Management takes care of its clients. Words can't describe the dedication and sincerity that they offer. I usually don’t write reviews and actually never have but I couldn’t go another day knowing that there may be other people who are in my same situation that I was in and who could use a company such as Azari Property Management. They truly go above and beyond.
Pros: Amazing customer service, very knowledgeable and dedicated Cons: She works too hard :)
