What we do
Everything between the listing and the lease renewal.
Six disciplines, one team, no handoffs. Built for the realities of LA — long commutes, careful tenants, expensive repairs done right the first time.
Transparent tenant screening
Credit, income, eviction, and criminal — same criteria for every applicant, posted publicly before they apply.
Lease in five business days
Self-tours, signed leases, deposits collected — most homes go from listed to occupied inside a week of a qualified applicant.
Vetted LA vendors on call
Plumbers in Atwater. Electricians in Inglewood. HVAC techs who know the difference between a swamp cooler and central air.
On the 1st, in your account by the 5th
ACH, debit, money order — we collect it, reconcile it, and deposit it. Late notices and 3-day pay-or-quits handled by the book.
Statements you can actually read
Monthly statements, year-end 1099s, and a live owner portal showing every dollar in and out — no Excel required.

How we operate
Four habits we don't break.
Property management gets a bad name from corner-cutting. These are ours, written down so anyone can hold us to them.
Transparent
Fees, criteria, deposits — published before they affect you, never invented after.
Responsive
Maintenance reply under four hours, weekdays. Real names, real phones, no ticket black holes.
Move-in ready
Cleaned, painted, and inspected before keys turn over. The home you tour is the home you get.
Long-term
Renewals over turnover. We'd rather a tenant stay five years than chase a $50 rent bump.
From the porch
What residents tell their friends.
My garbage disposal died on a Sunday at 9 PM. They had a tech in my kitchen by Monday at noon. Three years here and I'm not moving.

Resident · Highland Park
Every fee was on the listing. Every requirement was on the listing. I've never had to ask a landlord a single procedural question.

Resident · Echo Park
I own four units off Sunset. They re-leased two of them in eight days each, both above asking. I send the statements straight to my CPA.

Read post →FAQ
All questions →The questions we get on every tour.
How long does the application take?
Most applicants finish in under fifteen minutes. We pull credit and run screening through TransUnion's SmartMove; decisions land within 48 hours, often same-day.
What's the security deposit?
For most homes, one month's rent for qualified applicants. Up to two months when credit is below 650 and a co-signer isn't an option. Always disclosed on the listing.
Do you allow pets?
Yes — most homes accept up to two pets. We charge $50/month per pet rather than a one-time deposit. Service and emotional support animals are not pets and have no charge.
How fast do you respond to maintenance?
Under four hours during business days, with a real person on the other end. Emergencies (no heat, water leaks, lockouts) route to our 24/7 line and get a tech dispatched same day.
Can I tour without an agent?
Absolutely — most of our homes offer self-tours weekdays 8 AM–8 PM after a quick ID verification. Saturday tours are agent-led and bookable online.
What's your renewal policy?
We send renewal offers 75 days before lease end. AB-1482-eligible homes follow the statutory cap; rent-stabilized homes follow LA's RSO cap. Numbers are always shown next to the prior rent.
Owners
What's your LA home renting for?
Free, no-obligation rental analysis. We'll pull comps, walk the property, and email you a number you can plan around — usually inside three business days.
