"Looking for a place in San Francisco can be a daunting task. After several pretty bad experiences looking at a dozen or so properties, it was nice to come across Renee. She showed us a great place which we immediately liked. The application process was very quick and painless, and we had the lease signed in less than 24 hours. Renee is very busy but always keeps in touch via email and phone. Her demeanor is very professional and she is straightforward. I would definitely recommend working with her." - Martin P.

"Renee has helped me with a sale of my TIC property in San Francisco.  She was recommended by my real estate lawyer and I have been very happy with her work and support.  Renee stays on stop of the transaction, is extremely helpful and is especially nice to work with.  For properties in San Francisco Bay Area I would only consider working with Renee." - Dawn W.

About the broker

"Over the past year I have interacted with Renee of HRH Real Estate Services about a dozen times, and I have also witnessed firsthand the impact of her work on the lives of other San Francisco area residents like myself - after frustrations with too many other leasing agents. Needing to move or re-locate one's self or family around this corner of California is...wow - housing is very competitive, prices are often frightening, and it can be especially challenging finding a place if you have children like I do. Her contracts and the expectations she helped establish with all parties were transparent and open, so I didn't have any surprises!

Just do yourself a favor and reserve some time to talk with Renee, if she is available. She is deeply connected with the market, is professional and communicative, and is in-demand for good reason." - Henry B.
