The front desk has been amazing to work with. Becca has been so helpful and very quick to answer all my questions. She has helped to alleviate the stress that comes with moving. I sincerely hope she's with this company for a very long time so she can continue to be our contact person! You found a good one SJC, don't ever let her go!

Finding a house in the area was a bit stressful. Came across a rental managed by SJC and the majority of my dealings were with Becca. She was outstanding and answered all of my questions and made the whole process very pleasant. Thanks again Becca!

Shout out to Becca at SJC for helping make my move in seamless! Moving is such a hassle and she made the process a joy. And now that I'm settled, she continues to be an excellent resource for all my questions! I've been through a few different property management companies, and working with SJC has been a breeze compared to others. Highly recommend!
