Bill and Merrie Lightner are lawyers with over twenty years of experience managing San Francisco apartments. Our in-house legal capability helps you avoid problems while saving you extra legal fees.
We know San Francisco.

With 12 years experience as a landlord representative she understands San Francisco’s complex rent control regulations. She was President of the San Francisco Apartment Association from 1995-1997 and President of the California Apartment Association in 1999.

Let Lightner Property Group simplify your life by transforming your property management duties into simplified money management.
Ask Yourself -
- Can you effectively keep up with the never-ending changes in local, state and federal laws?
- Are you willing to read journals regularly to keep up?
- Are you in compliance with all current labor and contractor laws?
- Do you have time to develop all of the policies and procedures required?
- How often are you or your staff trained or retrained for Fair Housing or hazardous materials?
- Can you afford to purchase the necessary accounting, project management and contact data management software, along with all necessary computers and peripherals to meet the needs of your 21st Century resident?
- Do you produce professional quality marketing materials for prospective residents?
- Can you communicate with your residents 7 x 24?
- Do you have a well-maintained informative web site?
- Do you provide answers to resident and prospective residents questions round the clock?
- Do you keep current on the market value of your apartments each month?
- Do you review a professionally generated income and expense statement each month so that you know the economic performance of your property?
- Do you maintain a comprehensive set of policies and procedures that you follow for the day to day management of your property?
- What is your emergency policy?
- What will you do in the event of a Citywide emergency? Are you prepared?
- Do you have an SB198 Illness, Injury and Prevention Program?
- Are your income standards written down?
If you can’t answer YES to every question, you are not managing your property effectively and economically. What may look like an economical management style, may actually be a HIGH-RISK management style in disguise. Don’t convince yourself that you do not need high quality property management policies and procedures in place. They are necessary and you must either develop them and provide them, or you must hire a professional experienced management company to do this for you.
