5 Stars ******

• When I was moving from the East Coast I was worried about finding a good apartment in a nice part of town. Oh, boy was I happy I found Sylvia! She made this process about as easy as I could have ever imagined it would be. I now have a beautiful apartment and all I simply had to do was tell her what I was looking for. I found AMSI by doing research on the net. I called the office and spoke with Sylvia, I told her I was relocating from the east coast. She asked me a few questions about what I was looking for and asked for my email address, before I knew it I had an email from here with several places that were available. After that, it was smooth sailing. when I moved I had a place all lined up and ready to go, now I live in cow hollow in a 2 bedroom flat with parking and a washer and dryer in the unit. I definitely recommend this company to anyone looking for an apartment!

Jules was professional, knowledgable, kind, patient, and understanding. Her communication was clear, timely, and consistent. I was in an unfortunate living situation, and Jules provided guidance and helpful resources to help me get out of my prior lease. She provided above-and-beyond service, and I am so incredibly appreciative of the added time and effort she put in to help make this transition/move so painless and stress-free. She is truly a life saver! She even gifted me with a thoughtful housewarming gift (a gorgeous orchid!) to welcome me into my new home.

• "We used AMSI property management recently to manage our TIC unit located in the Pacific Heights area of San Francisco.   We chose AMSI because the TIC Association does not allow vacation rentals, but does accept extended stay, corporate housing leasing. Our agent, Maureen "Mo" Couture worked hard for us and our place rented out every month.  Maureen had mentioned to me that AMSI also has a real estate division and that if we should ever consider selling, we should list with AMSI.  Here is what happened when we decided to move ahead with AMSI... Maureen sold our unit in less than 3 weeks!"

Beautiful Numbers 

“Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist.” - Pablo Picasso

“Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas.” - Albert Einstein

Picasso, Einstein, perhaps a mix between the two, Shari Videlock our esteemed and longest-standing Furnished Accounting Administrator, started her education as an art major but then changed to geology and ended up pursuing a dream in accounting. “It was just the facts ma'am… science and facts and numbers!” says Shari.

Zoya Smithton, one of AMSI’s co-founders knew Shari couldn’t sleep unless her checkbook was balanced to the penny and saw the bright potential that she would bring to the AMSI conglomerate, and that’s how she ended up in accounting! Paying our immense group of furnished owners was one of her first tasks long before ACH transfers, via paper checks by mail. Along with Furnished accounting, she was entrusted with database entry entering furnished properties and managing the antiqued phone system. 

As she eased into the world of accounting she quickly fell in love with it, seeing numbers as poetry and a beautiful art form. As the moons and suns have risen and fallen she is now a seasoned pro, performing revenue processing, payments, and all furnished transactions for San Francisco. She even helps assist with our San Diego branch’s processing as well!

With great attention to detail, our in-house grammar police, and a postcard wizard she is widely known for her seamless execution in a timely manner and her vast knowledge of the bigger picture. 

Needless to say, she wears many hats here at AMSI, often coming in first and leaving last. Sometimes up till late and on the weekends helping with the Aaxsys servers, ordering office supplies, and is a true Jack of all trades and master of all! 

A bon vivant host and bank parking patrol she exudes proper classic style and weaves this into her daily life. She knows the rules through and through and is the standard by which they are upheld. Though she may know how to break them she never does, perhaps only bending them a bit.

Born in the east and moved to the west the rest is history as they say, or rather her story. And a mighty fine one at that!
