"My wife and I had a pleasure working with Betty Granoff, the founder and rental specialist of Relocation Breakthrough.  Betty is a very nice, friendly, knowledgeable, hardworking and personable agent. She listened to our needs and went above and beyond to help us find a place to stay - we are really impressed that she found us a beautiful apartment within a couple of days. She provided frequent email and phone call
updates throughout the search process. The service that Betty and her team provided was more than outstanding. We would highly recommend Relocation Breakthrough to anyone relocating in the Bay Area!"

“Great service, Jim was very helpful as we managed this process long distance for a long period of time (saw houses, took pictures, discussed with landlords, etc. in addition to arranging tours when I visited).  Ultimately I settled into a house after I moved because of the difficult market, but our work together allowed me to know the market and what I’m looking for.”

“Jim was very attentive to our needs.  There were a number of area’s where he proved really helpful, for example: The fact that we could get someone (Jim) to go out and view properties in CA saved me an 11,000 mile trip, this simplified life at a very complex time and also kept my costs down.   Within weeks, Jim had helped us; negotiate rent, find the library, get our driving license’s, have water and power connected to our home, find good schools, join a sports club.  This was all invaluable and Jim did it all with courtesy and more patience than we deserved.”

“Just wanted to let you know we found an apartment during our weeklong search with Carol.  She was unbelievably amazing during our time together and my wife, son and I all loved her.  Honestly, this was by far the best real estate experience we have ever had.  Carol was thoughtful, persistent and so well organized that she turned what should have been a tiring and nerve-wracking process into an almost enjoyable one.  Each day was productive, she negotiated well on our behalf and made sure we were often the first people in to see an apartment.  Thanks again for placing us with such a great agent.  We really enjoyed working with her and would highly recommend her for the most discerning clients.”

It is clear that you are head and shoulders above the competition in this line of work and I would have no reservation in recommending your services to others. Robbie has been a joy to work with and it is testament to how well she does her job that we are signing a lease today, after only 1 day of looking at properties with her.
My Wife and I remarked that the only down side to this entire process is the fact that we won’t have the opportunity to spend another day house-hunting with Robbie.
Again, thank you for everything, but most of all for taking the strain, worry and hassle out of our relocation process. I wish you nothing but the best in your future endeavors’.”

“Excellent!!! Jim Adams was informative and extremely helpful. We were able to see a variety of homes in the two different areas we chose. He drove us around the neighborhoods and allowed us to form our own opinions. Our questions were answered without bias helping us to determine for ourselves what area was to become our new home. The experience gave us the peace of mind that we were making the best possible choice for our family. There is so much to do in any move. Having Jim’s talent applied to our search for a rental home along with all the other specialists employed by Relocation Breakthroughs has made our experience go so much more smoothly. Closing down on two homes, moving a family of five and a dog in a month seemed impossible. We are nearing completion and we could not be more grateful.”

"Carol was my lifesaver. She made me feel so at ease and comfortable telling her what I was looking for. She knew even before we saw the places whether I would like it or not, but she showed me anyway. She knows exactly what was available in each area. She was extremely patient with me. What can I say, without Carol I would have left San Francisco on Monday and never come back. We have found a comfortable and nice apartment that we can afford. Thanks for choosing Carol to help us out."

"Wonderful. Robbie set me up for a full day of apartment looking and I put a deposit down by 3:30. Every apartment we walked into Robbie asked all the questions that answered all my concerns. Robbie made sure I had all my paperwork done ahead of time further helping me to secure the apartment. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Robbie."

“Robbie was very organized & had selected very suitable properties to view. She made the experience fun & it was a pleasure spending time with her. There was no pressure to finalize anything on the day of the tour, although Robbie went above and beyond the call of duty to organize for me to sign a lease on a property I had viewed…. Robbie is exceptional & I would highly recommend her service to anyone relocating to San Francisco .”

“My situation was unusual because I am in New York and trusted Jim ( Adams ) and my niece to find me a house to rent…. It’s rare that someone listens as carefully as Jim does and is as thorough as he was in choosing what to view and evaluating each house. My niece found him to be warm and knowledgeable as well. I’m impressed, too, with his follow-through every step of the way…. He was meticulous in his representations to me, the owner and the owner’s agent. I relied on his judgment to negotiate the lease. Thanks to all of you for helping make my return to California a magical journey.”
