Owning rental housing in San Francisco means more than collecting rent. Local rules, tenant communications, maintenance, and accounting all compete for your time. J. Wavro Associates provides full-service residential property management so you can keep the investment without running the day-to-day.
We have served Bay Area owners since 2003. Our work stays residential: apartments, flats, condominiums, and homes—not a side desk for commercial or HOA boards. If you want a manager who already speaks the language of SF leasing and operations, start here.
What full-service management includes
In addition to property leasing, our management work typically covers:
-
Accounting
- Collection of monthly rents and disbursement to the owner
- Monthly owner statements
- Year-end tax reporting when applicable
-
Maintenance
- We assess issues, report to you, and coordinate trusted vendors
- Regular inspections help catch problems before they become emergencies
-
Day-to-day operations
- Tenant relations and correspondence
- Move-in and move-out inspections
- Lease enforcement and rent collection
- 24/7 emergency response coordination
-
Compliance posture
- Stay current with federal, state, and local housing requirements as they apply to your property
- Maintain documentation
- Operate with fair housing compliance as a baseline—not an afterthought
Who this is for
- Owners who live outside the city or travel often
- Owners who want professional tenant placement plus ongoing management
- Owners of a single condo or a small multi-unit building who need consistent process
- Owners who prefer a licensed brokerage team over a national call-center model
If you only need the vacancy filled—and will self-manage afterward—see our San Francisco leasing for owners page instead.
How we work with San Francisco owners
San Francisco's rental market moves quickly, and the regulatory environment is detailed. We do not replace your attorney or give legal advice. We do handle operations with an eye toward proper noticing, documentation, and fair, consistent treatment of applicants and tenants.
You get a clear point of contact, structured reporting, and a team that already markets and shows rentals across the city. That combination—leasing strength plus management follow-through—is the practical reason owners hire us.
Areas we serve in the city
We work with owners across San Francisco neighborhoods—from Pacific Heights and the Marina to Noe Valley, SOMA/South Beach, and beyond. Exact fit depends on property type and your goals; we will tell you honestly if a building is outside our operational sweet spot.
