Don’t settle for anything other than outstanding service and exceptional results. Check out our San Francisco property management services for owners and investors.

Property Assessment

Before we even list your home, we’ll do a thorough assessment and recommend any necessary repairs or improvements that will make your property more appealing to the best tenants.

We know the needs of the local tenant pool. Our initial assessment will help you rent your San Francisco property faster and for the most money.

Listing and Marketing

Our marketing is targeted and effective because the San Francisco property management market is competitive. We use professional photographers, online advertising, our own website, and our connections within the San Francisco community to attract potential tenants.

We’re available for showings and prepared to answer any questions prospective renters have about your property. Tenants have a lot to choose from when it comes to renting a San Francisco home – we make sure they choose one of ours.

Tenant Screening

The tenant you place has a direct impact on your success as a landlord. We believe in placing good tenants with a proven record of on-time rental payments.

Read More »

We screen for credit, criminal, and eviction backgrounds, and talk to former landlords to ensure we only hand over the keys to tenants who follow the terms of the lease and take good care of a home. Our thoroughness sets us apart from other San Francisco property management companies.

l

Lease Preparation

Your lease needs to be specific to San Francisco and detailed. We use the San Francisco Apartment Association’s Residential Tenancy Agreement, which is what every landlord in San Francisco should be using.

It’s written to protect you and your property, while outlining the expectations and responsibilities of your tenant.

Financial Reporting

Expect monthly owner statements that are accurate, detailed, and transparent. You’ll see all of the income and expenses associated with your property, and you’ll be able to access this information anytime you need it.

At the end of the year, we’ll provide 1099s for easy tax reporting. Our clear financial reporting is just one of the reasons our clients consider us the best property management in San Francisco.

Eviction Coverage

When Gordon Property Management is responsible for placing your tenants, evictions are rare. But, bad things happen to good tenants, and we may find ourselves in the position that we have to evict for nonpayment of rent or due to some violation of the lease.

Read More »

In these cases, we’ll work closely with an experienced attorney to make sure the eviction is handled professionally, correctly, and in as little time as possible. If you work with us, you can trust that you’re getting property management San Francisco investors have relied on to handle these types of situations since 1987.

Free Rental Analysis

With RentFax, we can help you properly price your San Francisco rental property. Incorrect pricing is one of the reasons that properties stay on the market longer than necessary. A vacant property isn’t making you any money, so let’s get it right. With this report, we’ll use your address and details about your home to compare your property has to offer compared to other properties already on the market. This will give you a high and low range, and we’ll talk about the best way to position your home competitively in the rental market.

We needed to move out of state and hired Gordon Property Management to take care of renting out our house. Stephanie, Nanette, and Meghan made things very easy for us. They marketed the house, found us tenants and took care of all the maintenance, including specific requests for things we wanted to have inspected yearly. We eventually moved back into our house, and Stephanie's team was very helpful and responsive through all parts of the process.

Transparent Pricing. Quality Services.

View Sample Management Agreement

Professional San Francisco property management is never going to be one-size- fits-all. That’s why we have three different pricing plans so you can choose the services that fit your budget.

Our pricing is transparent. There won’t be any surprise fees or hidden charges.

We are priced competitively, but we strive to be the best property management company in San Francisco – not the cheapest.

We expect our owners to be willing to pay for quality – quality management and quality maintenance. A cheap fix is an expensive repair. You’ll be fixing that problem over and over again. To keep your property in excellent condition, you want repairs that are done right the first time. That will keep your property value high and your tenants willing to pay more for their home.

We know we offer our owners and investors services and expertise they can’t find elsewhere. When you’re wondering if you can afford to work with us, the question you should really be asking is – can you afford NOT to?

Areas We Serve

We have been providing outstanding property management throughout San Francisco, CA, since 1987. Our services reach homeowners in neighborhoods such as:

  • The Mission District
  • The Marina
  • Mission Bay

We have used other property mgmt. companies (some still hand writing checks) but none compare to Gordon. They are a 21st century company that employs friendly, efficient, knowledgeable staff that gets the job done without a lot of excuses. Monthly reconciliation (including the availability of e-banking) is done timely and accurately utilizing a user friendly on-line web site to keep current on records/transactions for owners and renters alike. They take on the frustrations when dealing with CCSF Govt. and their constant changing housing regulations. If you are looking for or are not happy with your current property management company give Gordon a try; competitive rates, friendly competent staff and a maintenance team that gets repairs done today and not next week.

RENT DUE: All rents are due on the first day of the month. Some of our leases have a grace period. Any rent not received by 5:00 PM on the last day of the grace period is considered late and will incur a late fee. Rents can be paid online, mailed to us, or dropped off at our office. There is a secure mail slot to the far right of our front door where rents can be dropped off 24/7.

LATE RENT: Any rent not received by 5:00 PM on the last day of the grace period (if any) is late and a late fee of 5% will be charged. Personal checks are not accepted after the 5th of the month. If your rent is late it must be paid with a cashier’s check or money order (payable to Gordon Property Management) and must include the late fee.

BOUNCED CHECKS: If your check is returned by the bank for non-sufficient funds, or for any reason, you will be charged a returned check fee of $40.00 PLUS the late fee of 5%. Replacement checks must be paid with a cashier’s check or money order and must include the NSF fee and the late fee. Personal checks will not be accepted by any tenant who has had two checks returned by the bank.

AUTOMATIC PAYMENTS: If you choose, you can arrange for an automatic payment with your bank. You can also make online rent payments via our Online Tenant Portal. Click here to PAY RENT ONLINE NOW.

MOVING OUT: You must give 30 days written notice of your intent to move out. Once we receive your notice we will send you a move out packet with information regarding the pre-move out inspection and cleaning instructions.

MAINTENANCE REQUESTS: All requests for maintenance and repairs must be made through the TENANT PORTAL. You must give us permission to use our keys for entry or you must be home to let the repair person in.

After business hours (evenings and weekends), we can only accommodate emergency repairs. These are generally limited to plumbing emergencies, and you will have to be home to meet the repair person. For after-hour emergencies please call the office (415 554-8812) and our answering service will be able to assist you.

PLUMBING: Gordon Property Management will cover the cost of most plumbing repairs. However, you should be aware that we do not cover the costs of repairs that are due to a tenants’ negligence or lack of care.

GARBAGE DISPOSALS: Gordon Property Management will not pay to clear jammed or frozen garbage disposals. This is the most common type of maintenance request and is almost always caused by misuse or overuse of the garbage disposal. They are delicate machines and are not intended to grind up many kinds of foods or a large volume of food. Use the garbage disposal at your own risk!

LOCKOUTS: If you lock yourself out of your apartment you will have to call a locksmith at your own expense.

EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE REQUESTS: For emergency repairs you may call the office at (415) 554-8812 and then follow up by completing the form or logging into the portal.

After hour emergencies please call our answering service at (415) 554-8812.

 

Completed Rental Application – EACH applicant over 18 years of age who will be residing in the unit must complete in its entirety and sign Gordon Property Management’s Application. You can complete an application online through our listings.

Provide Credit Check and Processing Fee – EACH applicant over 18 years of age who will be residing in the unit must provide a $35.00 non-refundable credit check and processing fee. Payment methods for this fee may be online, cash, check or money order made payable to Gordon Property Management. Credit check and processing fees are non-refundable. The amount charged covers the actual cost of the credit report, unlawful detainer (eviction) search, and/or other screening reports and the administrative costs to obtain, process and verify screening information.

Provide Income Documentation – Applicants can upload income verification or provide them to Gordon Property Management via fax, email or in person.

Income documentation includes copies of your most recent paystubs, offer letters or tax returns. We will not begin working on your application until we receive all of these items.

Qualifying For An Apartment

INCOME:
In order to rent an apartment or home from Gordon Property Management, applicants must be able to show that their monthly income is equal to or greater than 3 1/2 times the monthly rent. We consider all verifiable income of all applicants in the household. Self-employed persons may need to submit tax returns and/or bank statements. Students who are receiving parental support will need to have their parents qualify and sign a rent guarantee.

CREDIT REPORTS:
The credit report is one of several factors we use in evaluating a tenant. Although a high credit rating is preferable, we recognize that many potentially great tenants have had credit problems in the past. If your credit history is less than ideal, please tell us why.

REFERENCES:
We will contact your current and your former landlords for references. The rental reference is an extremely important factor in evaluating prospective tenants, so make sure your application includes accurate phone numbers for your current and former landlords.

PETS:
Some of our properties are willing to consider pets and some will not. If we are able to consider pets our ads will clearly state that pets are negotiable. Cats must be spayed or neutered, and in some cases, they must be indoor cats. Dogs must be at least two years old and we must be able to either meet the dog or get references for the dog. Read our pet agreement carefully and make sure you are willing to comply with the terms of the pet agreement.

SELECTION PROCESS:
Selecting a tenant from several qualified applicants is not easy. We use all of the above factors in combination to choose a tenant. We will offer the unit to the first qualified applicant to submit a complete application, with the following exceptions:

1) Applicants who offer over the asking price will be given priority consideration and applicants who offer less than the asking price will be considered after those offering full price or more.
2)An applicant without a pet may, in some cases, be offered a unit before an applicant with one.

Applications shall not be considered received until they are complete.

SIGNING A LEASE:
If you are selected for an apartment, you will have 48 hours from the time we offer you the apartment to sign the lease and pay the full security deposit. All leases are 12-month leases. The first month’s rent will be due at the start of the lease and before you are given keys to the apartment. Both the security deposit and the first months’ rent must be paid through our online application or paid with a cashier’s check or money order (payable to Gordon Property Management). All applicants will be required to obtain a renter’s insurance policy prior to occupancy. Smoking of tobacco products is prohibited on the entire property pursuant to Article 19F of the SF Health code. However, some prior rental agreements in building are not subject to this regulation.

EQUAL HOUSING OPPORTUNITY:
We do Business in Accordance with the Fair Housing Act. (The Civil Rights Act of 1968, as amended by the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988).

IT SHALL BE ILLEGAL TO DISCRIMINATE AGAINST ANY PERSON BECAUSE OF RACE, COLOR, RELIGION, SEX, (PHYSICAL OR MENTAL) DISABILITY, FAMILIAL STATUS (HAVING ONE OR MORE CHILDREN), OR NATIONAL ORIGIN
