A local partner, not a call center

The Housing Guild has managed San Francisco and Peninsula rental property since 1977. We are large enough to run professional systems — online owner portals, direct-deposit rent, syndicated marketing across 55+ listing sites — and small enough that you deal with people who know your building.

Owners hire us to do three things: keep the property leased at market rent, keep it compliant with the Bay Area's complex rental laws, and keep it maintained so it holds its value. Learn about our team

“I had a great experience with The Housing Guild. When my refrigerator needed replacing, their team handled everything smoothly — arranged a new unit, coordinated delivery at a convenient time, and made sure installation was done properly. What stood out was how seamless they made the whole process.”

“I recently lost my key and contacted The Housing Guild for a replacement. Vicki said she would drop off a key — within the hour she dropped it off and checked it with me to make sure it worked. I was impressed with her promptness and courteous personality.”
