I have lived in one of the properties since 1999. At all times the property has been kept in a neat and tidy manner. No effort is spared to ensure that tenants get value for their money. Roland , is always accessible and prompt in responding to and effecting repairs.

I have been a resident of SWB Property Management/Bonds Properties since February 2020. Despite and throughout this Covid-19 pandemic season, they have provided consistent professional and responsive effort to ensure my rental experience is positive. I have lived in 4 states and many rentals over the years and Roland is by far the best I've ever worked with. For this reason I signed another lease and would again. There is no other landlord and property management group I would recommend more in this area. They will treat you with respect.

I being living at one of the SWB properties over a decade, love the place and the area, near everything. San Francisco, Oakland and Marin. The management ( Roland ) always available if I need anything. The pool is a charm and always clean, in general the building is always clean an neat. I recommend this place for anyone who is interested in living a stress free environment!!

We stayed in this property for a little over two-year. Roland, the property manager is very respectful and professional. Roland always fix issues in a timely manner. The property is always cleaned and well-maintained by professional and Keith. Neighbors are super friendly which is a plus. Ohh and Keith always makes sure the trash room stay clean and organize so I never worry about raccoons. So far I am very happy with this management.

My husband and I have lived in one of the Bonds Properties in El Cerrito for the last few months. Roland, the property Manager, helped us visit a few properties before we settled on the one were in. We like our apartment which is maintained very nicely by Roland. We could not have a better property Manager than Roland. He is very professional and friendly, always going out of his way to meet our needs. We definitely recommend Bonds Properties as long as Roland stays with them!
