I've gotta say, moving to SF can be a hussle which is why I can say I'm glad to have found Allie from Raskin Real Estate. This wasn't the first time I've moved up to SF but this time it's more permanent and I was expecting the ordeal of finding "the perfect place" to be much more stressful that it was. I am pleased to say that dealing with Allie was nothing but proffesional and easy. She was always very quick to respond; I was surprised to hear back nearly 20 minutes after my initial enquiry on the ad _after_ normal buissiness hours. She was very understanding

I only write reviews based on quality of service and have extremely high expectations. Working with Zena and Raskin Real Estate has been an absolute delight. I don't know if people had bad landlord experiences and mistakenly thought Raskin had anything to do with it but RASKIN IS NOT YOUR LANDLORD- this review focuses on THIS business. Renting and moving is one of the most stressful unpleasant things in the world, but Zena (and the lovely Bella who I didn't even directly work with but met in their office) are just lovely! It is evident they work hard for their clients and are loyal

Raskin Real Estate has provided me with the best apartment experience I've had in my 4 years in San Francisco. From the first viewing I had of my current home, to every small thing I've needed fixed around my place, Raskin has been responsive, fast, polite, and very accommodating of my schedule. The main contact for tenants, Zeina, has solved any problem within 24 hours. And the proprietor of the company, Richard, clearly takes pride in providing a quality living experience for tenants. The neighbors in my building have resided here for 20 and 40 years respectively, so I think it

I have no idea why Raskin had such horrible reviews. I think they got a new manager because Raskin Real Estate is seriously the best I have ever worked with. We have had a ton of issues with our house and they have fixed everything and super quick too. I felt annoying because I kept asking for stuff but they were always there with a positive attitude. Zeina is the best. She is so understanding and amazing to work with.We love her! I will always try to go with Raskin because they have completely exceeded my expectations.

I live next door to a Raskin managed property. There have been a string of unhappy renters that have come and gone. Raskin does not respond when there is a problem. And, they do not respond when there is a problem that needs to be resolved between the property they manage and me, i.e. leaking sewer pipe that they took months to repair! I would never willlingly deal with them.

I found Raskin Real Estate to be great - its wonderful to see a family run business thriving in SF. I rented an apartment from them in the Mission and found them to be super diligent and responsive to my needs for repairs and concerns related to my apartment. they returned my deposit promptly and were very accommodating to meeting at times that fit my hectic schedule when I was first viewing the property. Zena was a consummate professional and very nice to work with. I highly recommend supporting this local business and renting from them

The front door lock broke so our apartment building had to remain unlocked -- for over 2 years. My upstairs neighbour's fridge broke and it took them 4 months to replace it. Water piping work was done illegally and water filters out the side of the house.

Heater broke and was never fixed during my tenancy. Garage door was never fully functioning and was late for work on two occasions because they did not send a repairman on time and my car was stuck inside.

"You left a voicemail? We don't check those."

Back porch nearly collapsed before they sent someone to repair it
