Given some of the contentious reviews, I start with the disclaimer that I received nothing for writing this. I am not an employee. I received no discount. Etc.
Azari has a few parts to their business. One is property management. I can't speak to that. The other is rental. I can speak to that.
I have used Azari twice now to rent (find a tenant for) my condo in south beach SF. Once this past month and once about 14 months ago.
They were very agressive (in a good way) about renting this property for me. They were aggressive about getting keys from me to access it; photographing it; posting it; and (perhaps against policy of sites like craigslist) frequently reposting it. ""Time to fill"" is key when you are trying to rent a place. For a $4000/month property, every week the property is unrented costs you $1000.
When my old tennant moved out, they inspected the place, took and sent me pictures of issues, and offered to fix them at reasonable handyman rates. I now live in San Diego, so I took them up on all their offers.
They were extremely responsive by email and phone during this rental (and fixup) period often answering emails late at night and on weekend.
There are some ways the process could have been smoother (hence 4 stars instead of 5). But I'd rather have aggressive and successful, than smooth and slow.
If my tennant leaves and the property comes up for rent, I'll happily use Azari again.
