For tenants
We help renters and people moving to SF find the best rental possible and plan for a successful and stress-free move to the San Francisco Bay Area. We take the time to get to know your needs, make a plan of action, and support you from house hunting through lease signing.
For owners
We help owners create a strategy to price rentals and list their property on the market. We help you navigate California's rental laws and fill vacancies with the best tenant possible.
“I wholeheartedly and without reservation recommend Move Bay Area. My wife and I are thrilled with our new place, and our apartment hunt was much, much easier and less stressful than it would have been if we'd tried to do it ourselves.”
— Matt, relocation to San Francisco

With Move Bay Area's help, I was able to find a new apartment in one trip up to San Francisco! I absolutely love my new home and I so happy that I chose Move Bay Area to help me find it. I relied heavily and Lisa's knowledge of the neighborhoods and to get a picture of what my commute would be like. If you are moving from far away or just need help navigating the crazy San Francisco housing market, you definitely will want to utilize Move Bay Area's services.
