Broker of Record Services in San Francisco
DRE Broker Supervision for Bay Area Property Management Companies
Property Management BOR Services in San Francisco
San Francisco and the Bay Area have some of California's most complex tenant protection laws. Property managers in SF face strict rent control requirements, just cause eviction laws, and extensive tenant rights regulations. The Bay Area's high-cost rental market demands professional broker supervision that understands local compliance requirements. Loom Realty provides Broker of Record services for property management companies throughout San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose, and the greater Bay Area.
Broker of Record is the main term Loom uses, but corporate clients may also hear Designated Officer or Designated Broker of Record for the same supervising broker role.

Broker of Record FAQ for San Francisco
Do I need a broker of record for my San Francisco property management company?
Yes. California law requires all property management companies to operate under a licensed broker. This applies throughout San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose, and all Bay Area cities.
Does Loom Realty understand SF rent control requirements?
Yes. We understand the compliance requirements for rent-controlled properties under the San Francisco Rent Ordinance and can help ensure your property management operations meet DRE standards.
Do I need to be near your office for BOR services?
No. Our Calabasas headquarters serves property managers throughout California. BOR supervision works remotely: we serve property managers in San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose, and all Bay Area cities.
Can you help if I manage properties in multiple Bay Area cities?
Yes. One BOR agreement covers your entire California operation. Whether you manage properties in SF, Oakland, Berkeley, or anywhere else in California, Loom Realty provides supervision for your full portfolio.
Can Loom Realty discuss business registration for a San Francisco property management company?
Yes. During onboarding we review business entity information, operating details, license roster needs, insurance, and DRE filing requirements. Loom Realty is not a law firm or CPA firm, so entity formation, tax, and legal structuring questions should also be reviewed with qualified advisors.
How does a trust account get established for Bay Area property management?
Trust account setup depends on your banking relationship, entity structure, broker supervision requirements, and how rents, deposits, owner reserves, and disbursements will be handled. Loom Realty reviews trust fund procedures and document-signing workflows as part of property management BOR onboarding.
Does Loom Realty provide San Francisco MLS access?
No. Loom Realty provides broker supervision and DRE compliance oversight, not MLS membership. Agents and companies arrange MLS access independently through the appropriate local REALTOR association or MLS provider for their Bay Area market.
What happens if ownership or control of the property management company changes later?
Future ownership transfers, principal changes, or changes in operating control should be disclosed early because they can affect insurance, DRE filings, agreements, supervision, and compliance records. Loom Realty can review the BOR process implications, while legal and tax advisors should handle transaction structure.
