We've been with Bayside managing our two triplexes in Mill Valley for many years. Before my mother passed away in 2006 she trusted Bayside to manage her properties while she and her husband were away in Hawaii for six months a year. Since then, we have trusted Joanelle Russell to manage the properties on a day to day basis since we live near Sacramento. She takes care of all the small things and consults with me on anything I might be interested in. Bayside is thoroughly professional and does a great job.

I met with Joseph at Bayside Management & Leasing to introduce our restoration services, and I really appreciated how kind and welcoming he was. I the team at Bayside get approached by contractors constantly, but he took the time to connect and showed genuine interest in having the right resources for his properties. His professionalism and kindness stood out something you don’t always come across in this industry. Grateful for the opportunity to connect.

Joanelle Russell does a great job handling my apartments! She is always very responsive to emails and handles problems quickly day or night, weekday or weekend. I feel honored to have her handling my property. One time she got in a scrap for me with the Marin County Tax Collector and got me a cash refund. This was above-and-beyond any contractual agreement she had. It demonstrates her good character. (Hard to find.) She has been my property manager for 10+ years, and I am not easy to get along with.

Bayside has, for two decades now, always acted professionally in managing my properties. But that is not all. They interact with me on a level that is even more personal than just professional. I always get a quick and timely response to my questions and concerns, and their actions and decisions have always reflected my concern for the welfare of my client, the tenants, while still being tailored to my situation as a landlord.
