Moving is always stressful, but it helps when the you're dealing with a team of people who are responsive, competent, and kind. We moved in on July 1, 2020.
My family and I started looking for apartments back in April (a month into shelter in place). Once we found out what school our son got accepted to, we narrowed our search to Potrero Hill. I reached out to a handful of apartment buildings, not really expecting to get an immediate response. Much to my surprise, I got a call from Andres at the leasing office within 24 hours. He asked very thoughtful questions about my family and asked about the reason for our move. I gave him our criteria (including our max budget), and he assured me that he could find us the perfect unit that would serve my family's needs. Within hours of our initial call, he emailed me video links to 3 units. These weren't just pre-recorded videos; he actually recorded them the day of our conversation as he referred to me by my name. When we wanted to see more options, Andres was more than willing to do more of these "virtual tours" and answered all of our follow up questions. He was always responsive, and he even sent me text updates to ensure we knew he was working on whatever request we had. Not once did he pressure us to sign a lease. Instead, he encouraged us to take our time. From the get-go, we were very impressed by the level of service that Andres provided.
We also want to give a few other shout outs:
LEASING TEAM:
Taha - She was the one who did the in-person tour. We threw questions at her, and she answered them on the spot. She was very friendly and patient (as my toddler kept running around her.)
Christina - When I discovered an error on my credit card statement from Mason on Mariposa, I called the leasing office right away. Since Andres had the day off, Christina explained what happened and helped us fix the issue. Both Christina and Andres apologized for the error, which I totally appreciate. They acknowledged the error and immediately resolved it!
CONCIERGE TEAM:
Daisy - She is one of the friendliest people we've ever met! She really takes the time to get to know the residents. She is also always happy and positive. And with everything that's happening in the world today, I wish more people were like her.
Kashif - He is a little bit more shy, but he never fails to greet us with a warm hello. From the moment we met Kashif, we could immediately tell that he is such a nice, friendly guy. He is always willing to help when we need it.
Armando - Within a couple of days of living at Mason on Mariposa, Armando knew us by our first names. He remembered that my husband loves soccer, and he would take time to chat with him about it. Armando goes beyond the "hello" and talks to us about our interests, which we appreciate.
Everyone on the concierge team is friendly and helpful ALL THE TIME! Honestly, we have not experienced this kind of service from any of the apartment buildings we've lived in. We have to walk through the front desk to get to our unit, and they're there to greet us with a smile. This is a simple gesture, I know, but it really brightens our day!
BUILDING MAINTENANCE TEAM:
Maurice -- When we did the walk through of our unit, we noticed that the garbage disposal was making a weird noise. Maurice came in to check it out, and within minutes, he knew exactly what the issue was. He was able to fix the problem right then and there.
Sam -- Our door locks weren't working properly, and Sam came to the rescue. He fixed the locks in a matter of minutes. On top of that, he noticed that our doors were creaking, so he fixed that too! He knew that we have little ones, and he said "We can't have the door wake up the kids when they're sleeping". He went above and beyond the call of duty.
Now, every time we run into Maurice and Sam, they always say hello and ask how our kids are doing. It's gestures like this that make an impact. We appreciate that they try to get to know my family.
We are so glad we moved here! Sure, the building is beautiful and the amenities are awesome. However, what sets Mason on Mariposa apart from many of the other apartment buildings in the area is their team! We feel at home because of them. For that, we want to say THANK YOU!!!
