ABOUT SERGEY: YOUR SF BAY AREA LEASING AGENT
Sergey brings more than 10 years of residential property management experience to every lease.

What sets Sergey
apart
The Pre-Leasing Model: Lease Before
Your Unit Is Vacant
Most landlords wait until a tenant moves out to start advertising, and every empty week costs a week of rent. Sergey's pre-leasing model reverses that order: your next tenant is found while the current tenant is still finishing their lease.
-
Off-market first. Your property is presented to Sergey's custom database of 100+ active Bay Area relocation professionals, agents, and pre-qualified renters, before it appears on public sites.
-
Respectful showings. Pre-market showings are scheduled with proper notice and around your current tenant's schedule.
-
Plug-and-play turnover. As soon as you receive a notice to vacate, Sergey lines up vetted vendors (handyman, cleaners, painters) to prepare the unit while it's being marketed.
-
Proven results. Recent San Francisco leases include zero days of vacancy loss at 3326 California St ($9,900/month) and an application secured in 7 days at 60 Rausch St ($5,500/month). If done right, your vacancy time can go from 2-4 weeks to 2-4 days.
Pre-leasing is available as an optional $1,900 add-on. See the full San Francisco leasing process and leasing agent fee.
A keen eye
on maintenance
Most leasing agents think about the property only until the lease is signed. Sergey also thinks about the next five years. He looks at every rental from the owner's perspective and gives clear recommendations designed to help stay ahead of costly last-min repairs.
​
What this means for you as an owner:
-
Your new tenants should not find deferred maintenance. During the property analysis (step 1 of the leasing process), Sergey walks the rental with maintenance in mind. He will give you professional advice on how to make the property more marketable while addressing only what is necessary.
-
Repairs prioritized by return and risk. You get a clear list: what to fix now to protect rent and avoid habitability complaints, what can be scheduled, and what is only cosmetic. Small, inexpensive fixes made before move-in prevent the emergency calls and water damage that turn into large bills.
-
Vetted vendors at fair prices. Sergey's network of Bay Area plumbers, electricians, handymen, painters, and cleaners, built through the years, means his clients can find referrals quicker and have enough time to make educated decisions.
-
HOA-aware repairs. In condos and TICs, Sergey knows which repairs belong to the owner and which belong to the Association, and which ones need association approval. That prevents disputes and duplicate costs.
-
A documented baseline. Dated move-in condition photos and notes protect your security deposit position and make the next turnover faster and cheaper.
​
The result: a rental that's free of deferred maintenance at move-in, fewer costly repairs during the lease, happier long-term tenants, and a property that keeps its value.
HOA, TIC, and Co-op
Leasing Specialist
Leasing a unit in an association isn't the same as leasing a house. Sergey reviews CC&Rs, rental restrictions, move-in and elevator rules, and co-op board requirements upfront. That prevents delays, fines, and rejected applicants. He recently leased 1333 Jones St at $6,495/month through a strict co-op approval process.
​
​
Clients consistently say Sergey turns a complex, uncertain process into a smooth one, with end-to-end support from rigorous listing prep to referrals for maintenance and repairs. Working with Sergey means more than just filling a unit. It means having a responsive, professional advocate who handles every detail so you have peace of mind.
