About George Goodwin Realty

George Goodwin Realty was founded in 1947 by George Goodwin and his business partner George Sins as Sins and Goodwin, continuously serving San Francisco for 78 years as a family-run business specializing in real estate sales and property management. Located at 1901 Lawton St, San Francisco, CA 94122, phone (415) 688-4126 or (415) 650-1859 or (415) 681-1265, office hours Monday through Friday 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. George Goodwin was a third-generation native-born San Franciscan who served in the Navy during WWII and continued in the Naval Reserve, attaining the rank of lieutenant. He married his high school sweetheart Marjorie Krase and they were happily married for 62 years. After meeting George Sins, they began their real estate company Sins and Goodwin in 1977, building a successful business through perseverance and hard work. After the passing of George Sins in 1989, the business became known as George Goodwin Realty where George continued to work until his death. George Goodwin taught his grandson Chris Galassi the value of honest, ethical business dealings and hard work. Chris began management of George Goodwin Realty in 2005 and continues to carry on his grandfather’s legacy in the company’s day-to-day practices. The company also employs experienced property managers including George Wiley and Maryrachel who handle finances, bill payments, and alert owners to potential issues. George Goodwin Realty manages properties throughout San Francisco including the Inner Sunset, Inner Richmond, Outer Sunset, Pacific Heights, Parkside, and Diamond Heights neighborhoods, as well as surrounding Bay Area communities. The company is known for providing exceptional service to both property owners and tenants, with a rare distinction of receiving five-star reviews from both landlords and tenants. Clients consistently praise the company for being extremely responsive to tenant needs, fixing issues quickly (often within 24 hours), honest and upfront communication, transparency in all dealings, fair move-out processes including returning security deposits appropriately, and treating properties and tenants with genuine care and respect. Many tenants report that George Goodwin Realty is the best property management company they’ve experienced across multiple cities including San Francisco, Toronto, Vancouver, and London. Property owners appreciate the company’s excellent documentation, constant availability to address concerns, ability to navigate complex San Francisco rental laws and regulations, proactive maintenance and property care, and long-term client retention with many owners staying with the company for 10-20+ years. The company provides comprehensive property management services including tenant screening and placement, rent collection, property maintenance coordination, financial reporting, lease preparation and enforcement, property inspections, eviction coordination when necessary, and handling all aspects of tenant relations. George Goodwin Realty is particularly skilled at managing smaller residential income properties in San Francisco, treating each property as if it were their own. The company emphasizes kindness, professionalism, prompt service, and maintaining positive relationships with both property owners and tenants. George Goodwin Realty’s commitment to honest, ethical business practices, responsive communication, and genuine care for both properties and people has made them a highly recommended and trusted property management partner in San Francisco for nearly eight decades, carrying forward the values that founder George Goodwin established in 1947 through three generations of dedicated family leadership and service to the San Francisco community.
