I moved into an SG-managed unit in January of this year. But first, IF YOU ARE A TENANT IN BERKELEY AND SG HAS NOT COMPLETED A LEGALLY REQUIRED MAINTENANCE REQUEST, submit an inspection request to the city (Google Tenant Request for Housing Inspection + City of Berkeley)Here are some cool things that have happened since I moved in:-I was given the same keys that were used for the open house-I was not given the code that opens the gate to my building-the laundry room was filthy upon move-in, and Jessica, who sent me a note asking why I rated my move-in low, said that she couldnt do anything about it because the owner does his own building maintenance. The owner of the building is the same owner of SG.-my deadbolt was not up to code (it didnt close). It was only fixed after I submitted an inspection request with the city 38 days after my initial request. Its now loose - but SG backdated the repair completed date to 3 days after I submitted the request. Thats how they have most repairs are completed within three days in their responses.-I had an ant infestation when I moved in. My request to have that fixed was DELETED from the maintenance request system.-my oven is not up to code - it needs to be plugged into an extension cord to turn on. I expect I will also have to submit an inspection request with the city before this gets fixed (same for my now-loose doorknob).-I live in a 6-unit building. There are tenants in my building who leave the building gate open for hours and leave garbage all over the laundry room. SG has not bothered to do anything about this despite my and other tenants requests for action.Based on my interaction with the property management team, I would avoid renting from SG again.

I recently moved in and had great experience with leasing team, especially with Jessica. They provide very instant responses for every inquiry and very helpful. Maintenance is also expedite and gets the job done in time. Overall building condition is clean and cozy. So far I have been provided satisfactory service from SG Real Estate and really appreciate their great job! Keep up your great work, SG real estate staffs!

While I have had a few issues with my apartment, I have to say that the responsiveness of the SG staff is impeccable. Though jobs might take a while to complete, they DO get completed to my satisfaction. My favorite person to deal with is Krystal McMorris in the main office. I have never experienced such sincere, personalized, timely and carrying exchanges with a rental company.

Ive moved in a month ago and Im very happy with the decision. The location is very good, close to the center and a few steps from Traders Joe, very nice quality of the appartement and shared facilities in the building (gym, lobby area, roof terrace). Great communication with the management and maintenance team. The moving in process was very smooth. I recommend!

I looked at dozens of apartments in my hunt for a new place and found that Jorge and Jessica (both from SG) were the most informative, professional and down-to-earth of all of the leasing agents I interacted with. I havent needed to put in any work requests for anything yet but theyve been very helpful and responsive during my move into the apartment. Also, I hope to get a pit bull soon so it was important to me that my new place be dog friendly. I found that many companies advertise as being dog friendly only to tell you about size and breed restrictions when you show up to see the place. SG actually ARE dog friendly. Ive already met two adorable large dogs that live on my floor.

Would not rent from them. At Telegraph Commons, I was told the extra large single was the only unit available, thus I took it. We were not given the option to see the room beforehand. At the time of move-in, I realized I was given the standard size single while paying the extra price. They did not budge when I brought up this fact. They will scam you for the money. Later found out my next-door neighbor with the same sized room was paying $400 less than me per month.The property is at a very loud intersection and there were also constant roach problems in the building. If you can, I would highly recommend you avoid renting from here.

This review is for leasing agent Jorge Del Castillo. Wow! Just Wow! From the first call I made until he provided me the keys he was simply beyond amazing! His service is impeccable. He had the unit painted and ready to go a few days before my move-in! I was short on time so I didnt view the unit beforehand. It was better than the video I saw online! I viewed over 10 places and Jorge was the game changer. He was welcoming, empathic and has great energy! Lets go Jorge! Thank you kind Sir!

My daughter had put in work order many, many times because of the smoke detector was out of order. Its been over 2 weeks, without getting any sleep because of the chirping sounds every 20 seconds. She is going crazy because she is not getting any sleep, cant focus on school work. She is actually thinking about dropping out of the school. You guys are horrible! You dont take your job seriously and dont take students Maintenance matter seriously. If she fails this semester, all thanks to you folks.

Not responsive; elevator in my building often smells like vomit. Despite the seven-day janitorial service, the smell persists for many days. Not ideal.Additionally, there are two push for help buttons on my floor which, when pressed, emit a loud, repeating beeping noise. As far as I can tell, there is no way to turn this off from the building; they have to be shut off from another terminal. This terminal is unmonitored, which leads to multiple days of beeping that is audible from inside the apartment.Note also that this means that, in the case of an actual emergency, the push for help buttons would be useless for actually getting help.Leasing team was quick and made things easy though.

The folks at SG have been extremely helpful with my apartment search and with the management of the places that Ive lived in over the past 5 years!!! Every time I move I chose to do so with SG. Jessica helped me with my leases, Gracy is an amazing property manager and the CEO David is a really good dude. All around great experience with them!
