D & G Equity Management

Russian River Vacation Homes

Family owned for over 45 years, D & G Equity Management is one of the largest and oldest property management companies in Sonoma County. Founded by Michael DeProto, a California Licensed Real Estate Corporate Broker, and his wife, Patricia Gerlach, they built the business from the ground up into the vibrant, successful, full-service property management company it is today.

In 1991 Jill DeProto, a Licensed Broker, joined the corporation, followed by Ellen De Proto, who is leader of our sister company Russian River Vacation Homes, our vacation rental home business. We have long term clients who have been working with us since the company was founded and continue their loyalty to this day. We feel having a line of open communication with both our clients and tenants is one of the many reasons for our longevity.

We have used D&G for over a year now on two rental properties. They are extremely knowledgeable about the current market and work with us to evaluate each property to maximize the rental income. The communication with tenants has been excellent with expectations tenant responsibilities clearly explained. Accounting for the properties has been very timely with reports clearly explaining all transactions. The movement of proceeds always occurs concurrent with delivery of the monthly accounting. The office is very responsive to questions and keeps us informed of any anomaly to operations. We hold the relationship in high regard and very contributory toward meeting our investment objectives.

D&G has been managing our property since 2010 and has done a great job. We have had a number of issues concerning both natural disasters and property upkeep, and D&G has done a great job keeping us updated and appraised of the situations. I would highly recommend them to anyone in the Russian River area needing a property manager.

Business Owner replied on Dec 15, 2023:

Thank you Vikki! You and George are wonderful clients and are happy to serve you and the property.

I’ve been renting from D&G for the past 3 years or so. And It has been nothing but a positive experience for me. They have been very prompt about fixing things that breakdown or are not right .And recently I had some surgery which incapacitated me for a few months. Jill was kind enough to hook me up with an agency to help pay my rent for a few months while I recuperated. I whole heartedly reccomend D&G . Regards Russ Darden
