Our Values
We recognize that a rental property is likely to be one of the most expensive purchases that the majority of our clients will make, and that in many cases there will be an emotional or personal attachment as well, such as your first property or the home where your children grew up. Establishing and maintaining a high level of trust with the company you hire to manage your rental property is essential, and our values directly reflect this. We are committed to using the core values of honesty, integrity and transparency when providing any of our services to our clients.
Jacy Dobrich
The Broker, Co-owner of Lanterna Property Management with 20 years of direct experience as a licensed Property Manager. Originally from Hinton, Alberta, Jacy moved to Vancouver in the year 2000. He got his start in Property Management in 2004 at Bruce Ward Realty; a boutique Real Estate Brokerage in downtown Vancouver where he worked as a Property Manager for the unfurnished rentals division until Bruce’s retirement and through the eventual sale and rebranding of the company. His time at Bruce Ward Realty gave him direct in-depth experience in all aspects of privately owned condo management and provided him with a high level of respect for his clients as well as for the properties that he managed for them. Jacy’s commitment to honesty, transparency, and a high level of ethics to his clients is still at the core of his management services and is the basis on which Lanterna Property Management, was created.

Client Testimonials
Bruce Ward
As the former “Broker/Owner” of Bruce Ward Realty Ltd, (1994 -2021) I am happy to recommend Jacy and his new company to any Property Owner or Tenant. Jacy was a very talented property manager, working for our company for 19 years, managing close to 400 properties in the Vancouver area, and playing a major role in our success. His talent for using care and diligence in picking the right tenants made us one of the most recommended Property Management companies in the area, and many real estate sales agents regularly recommended their clients to us for Property Management services, knowing that they would be well looked after. I have no hesitation in recommending Jacy and his new company to anyone looking for a Property Manager to manage their property in Vancouver, and am happy to act as a reference for him as well if one is desired.
Fanny C L.
"Jacy has been my go-to property manager for the last 20 years. He has helped me find tenants for all types of properties (condo, house, basement suite, lane house). He has consistently found tenants who take good care of the space and even more importantly, who are EASY to work with! I trust Jacy completely with my properties and really value his insight – I’ve recommended him to all of my family and friends!"
