Edwin F. Lingsch, Founder

b. 1913 – d. 2011

A San Francisco native, Edwin F. Lingsch founded Lingsch Realty in 1952 with the purpose of providing quality real estate services to the San Francisco Bay Area.

In 2009, Mr. Lingsch retired, leaving his grandaughter, Natalie Drees, to continue the family tradition of providing excellent customer service to San Francisco property owners.

Though Ed Lingsch, our founder, is gone, his legacy lives on and he continues to help real estate investors. Lingsch vs. Savage set a legal precedent in real estate law. It determined that the seller and seller’s agent have a duty to disclose facts which affect the property’s value or desirability when such facts are not known to, or within the reach of the diligent attention and observation of the buyer.
