We have found Natalie to be conscientious, hard-working, thorough and extremely well-organized. We highly recommend her and her agency. As a first time landlord and probably my last, I was fortunate enough to connect with Natalie Drees to locate tenants for my rental. She is the ultimate professional, very accessible and knowledgeable especially in the tricky San Francisco rental market.
I highly recommend Natalie, a true professional in her field.

Lingsch Realty was the winner of the San Francisco Apartment Associations 2014 Property Management Firm of the Year! Since 1952, Lingsch Realty has built a reputation for integrity, honesty and understanding. This means keeping a finger on everything that affects the San Francisco real estate market from the economy to new legislation, and from the diversity and constant transformation of San Francisco neighborhoods to dynamic property values.
Submit your online application via our web site. Please upload any supporting documents such as pay stubs. If you are self-employed, please upload your tax returns for the last two years, so that we can confirm your income. If your income is not three times the monthly rent, but you have enough savings to cover the rent for the term of the lease, please upload a bank statement showing this.
While owning investment property in San Francisco can be very rewarding financially, there are many rules and regulations in this tenant-friendly city, that don't always make it easy. Having a knowledgeable property manager involved in the daily management of your properties can help you circumvent potential problems before they become costly legal issues.
We make informed decisions about pricing. When evaluating the income potential of a unit, we take into consideration the condition of the building, the interior finishes, the neighborhood and comparable units on the market. We look at each property individually to prepare a marketing plan to highlight its best features and use many advertising outlets to reach the most likely tenant for that particular unit.
When people ask me what the best part of buying my house was, I tell them it was my agent, Natalie Drees. Natalie was relentless in finding me great properties and she knew just what to bid. As a first time home buyer, I didn't always listen, but the day I did is the day I bought my house. Throughout the process, Natalie was patient, flexible, resourceful, and, when it came down to negotiations, downright clever.

It's time for a review of Lingsch Realty almost four years since we started renting. In a word: responsive! In several words: Excellent, competent, friendly, and satisfied. Let it be said: managing properties is a pretty thankless job at times, I'm sure. We've contacted Natalie for a variety of minor things, mostly plumbing issues, and she has always gotten back to us immediately. We've also had to contact her for more urgent issues, like locks not working, and she's gotten back to us immediately.

Natalie Drees is simply the best. I am a Real Estate Broker that specializes in residential sales and I do not do property management, so I refer all of my clients to Natalie. Whether it is leasing or management Natalie's professionalism is unrivaled. Her vendors are fantastic including her handymen and her landlord rights attorney.
If it were only clients and property owners who gave reviews, Natalie would have 5-Stars. I have seen the way she handles tenants as well and she is always patient. It is no wonder that she has won the San Francisco Apartment Association Award multiple times

Natalie was incredibly wonderful to work with. We applied for an apartment and had our background checks processed immediately. Within the week, we had a lease in our hands. The entire process was quick and did not require any arduous steps. Additionally, she was and continues to be prompt in answering any questions we have.
To top that off, Natalie provided us with a lot of context and background around our apartment. She answer any concerns we had and did not sugarcoat anything. We are incredibly pleased with our place, and we highly recommend Lingsch Realty!

For those wanting to find a home or an apartment please do not use Natalie Drees. Recently, I was looking for an apartment because I wanted to move closer to SF. I came across an apartment that Natalie was showing and I decided to come to the open house. I did and the customer service she provided was horrible! Not only that but she is unprofessional and unpolished . She didn't give me a chance to fill out an application because she had to leave to another showings! Apparently, regardless of your credit score or how much you make Natalie takes the first person who hands her an application

Caution: Do not use Natalie to book her VRBO listing #311514 in NOPA. She is not serving either her clients or her potential renters well. We booked the rental via email and returned our contract with payment the day after we received it. She double booked the property and we were left without accommodations after we had purchased our airline tickets. Evidently, she can't keep track of serious applicants. We were especially disappointed because the rental is ideally located close to our daughter and new baby and there are few options available in this neighborhood. Natalie lacks common

I recently dealt with Natalie on a short-term rental in San Francisco and found her to be helpful, accessible, completely professional. Even when things got a bit bumpy with the unit's owner, Natalie's demeanor and handling of the situation was wonderful. I would recommend her to anyone needing her services, and I will go to her every time I am working in San Francisco and need a place to live.

Natalie was my landlord for 2 1/2 years. During that time I had nothing but prompt, helpful and friendly interactions with Natalie. Sometimes I felt that I was pestering her with too many questions, but she was always extremely patient. I would highly recommend anyone looking to rent in SF to go to Natalie Drees at Lingsch Realty. She is excellent at her job, and I feel very lucky to have been able to be her tenant for so long.

I used Natalie a year ago when I decided to take the plunge into becoming a homeowner.
She was wonderful to work with. She consistently sent me emails of places that fit my needs. Since I was looking in December and January, not much was on the market. Natalie went over my criteria again with me and found a way we could broaden the search. This small change resulted in many new properties appearing - one being the flat I ended up buying! She checked out the property on a Tuesday to see if it was worth my time going to the Open House the following Sunday (she did this with many properties). We

Myself and three roommates have been living together for the last few years in a nice home in San Bruno. We recently received unfortunate news that the house is going up for sale and we would have to look elsewhere to live. With only a month to find another four bedroom house with a garage big enough to fit my bass boat, we (especially me) were in trouble. A friend of mine referred me to Natalie Drees, a property manager, at Lingsh Realty. She informed me that there was a property available just a few miles from our old house, that had everything we needed. Because my roommates and I have

A friend referred me to Natalie Drees at Lingsch Realty a few years ago and I will be forever grateful for that introduction. Natalie has been immeasurably helpful to me over the years, always offering advice on property management and leasing for several properties that I own and always willing to answer any real estate questions I might have. I probably call her far more often than any person should, but she is always gracious and willing to spend whatever amount of time is necessary to work through my various real estate problems or questions. She has proved invaluable to me over the years
