How Coastline Equity’s CEO Transformed Property Management Into a Guide for Owners

John David Sarmiento • August 22, 2025

From Experience to Excellence

At Coastline Equity, we believe property management is more than a business. It is a commitment to values, relationships, and long-term success. Our CEO, Anthony A. Luna, embodies this belief through both his leadership at Coastline Equity and his book, Property Management Excellence. The book is not just a reflection of his career. It is a roadmap for property owners who want to manage with clarity, purpose, and profitability.

 

A CEO’s Journey Shaped by Real-World Property Management

Anthony’s path to becoming CEO was not a straight line. Growing up in San Pedro, California, he learned resilience and discipline early on while working multiple jobs. His career eventually led him into property management, where he quickly realized that the industry is not only about maintaining buildings but also about building trust and protecting owners’ investments.

 

At Coastline Equity, Anthony faced the same challenges property owners encounter daily such as vacancies, compliance risks, tenant relations, and asset preservation. His leadership style grew out of those lived experiences, forming the foundation for how we approach property management today with transparency, consistency, and a values-based approach.

From Daily Management to a Published Guide

The lessons Anthony gained managing hundreds of properties directly inspired Property Management Excellence. He saw a gap in the industry. Property owners often lacked a clear, practical guide that translated management principles into actionable strategies.

In the book, Anthony distills years of on-the-ground experience into tools property owners can immediately use. From tenant screening checklists to preventative maintenance practices, every chapter reflects the systems we use at Coastline Equity to maximize property performance and reduce risk.

 

For Anthony, writing this book was not about theory. It was about giving owners the exact playbook that has worked for him and for our clients across California.

Why It Matters for Property Owners

Property owners face unique challenges such as rising costs, evolving regulations, and the constant demand for tenant satisfaction. Property Management Excellence provides owners with the knowledge to address these issues head-on without the trial and error that often leads to costly mistakes.

 

By sharing his story and the lessons learned at Coastline Equity, Anthony empowers owners to:

  • Protect their assets with preventative strategies

  • Navigate legal and compliance risks with confidence

  • Build long-term tenant relationships rooted in respect and consistency

  • Maximize property value while minimizing operational stress

Excellence as a Standard

At Coastline Equity, our mission is to help property owners succeed. Anthony’s book is a natural extension of that mission, reflecting the very principles we live by as a company. It is more than a book. It is an invitation for owners to step into a mindset of excellence.

For us, Property Management Excellence is not just Anthony’s story. It is Coastline Equity’s story. It is about transforming challenges into systems, uncertainty into confidence, and properties into thriving investments.
