Anchor Realty

Maintenance etc was on the fine side of timely but if you do rent from them please make sure you do a final walk through. our security deposit was held back for things a tenant couldn’t possibly have done (garage wiring, i don’t even know what that is) to the tune of multiple thousands of dollars. Given the rental situation in SF right now, a certain degree of shadiness has to be tolerated but it certainly left a bad taste especially since the landlord owns multiple properties in the city and lives elsewhere. disappointing

REALLY great experience with Anchor Realty so far! Melvin has been prompt and on top of any maintenance requests. Dan/Peter were easy to work with and made the process of finding/moving in easy and enjoyable. It's been a couple of months and I'm really happy with everything and grateful for the apartment and team!

I strongly advise against working with Anchor Realty as our experience with them was terrible. If you're considering working with them, I suggest reading their online reviews first. We were interested in renting an apartment unit from them, but the experience was frustrating. Jason rushed us during the viewing, even though we arrived early. After we submitted our application, they only gave us 24 hours to accept the offer and sign the lease. They also insisted on a move-in to be only two weeks away, and required cashier's checks for the first month's rent and deposit upon signing the lease. Since we were rushed and had limited time in our first viewing, we requested to visit the unit again before signing the lease. When we saw Jason, he made it known that he was not happy that we haven’

We have not had a single positive interaction with Anchor Realty since signing our lease. Their main contact for people with leases is Mel Fong, who is condescending, non-responsive, and difficult to communicate with. The incompetence of their team is shocking at times. We have had problems with our in-unit washer and dryer, and we were told we would need to handle it ourselves because it would be too much burden for Anchor Realty (which I think is the whole point of a property manager?). A previous poster described them as "slummy" and I think that's a great way to put it. Their team does the absolute bare minimum in terms of communication and meeting the needs of their renters. I would truly not recommend using Anchor Realty to anyone I know.

We lived in an apartment managed by Anchor Realty for 3 years. They always responded promptly to maintenance requests (we had about 2 during our entire time), and we got our security deposit back without any issues.
