Leasing Services for Los Angeles Property Owners
Vacancy is the most expensive line item in any building, and the wrong tenant is more expensive than vacancy. We handle both sides of that equation.

Residential leasing
Marketing. Professional photography, syndication across major rental platforms, and pricing set against live comparable data rather than last year's rent roll.
Screening. Written criteria applied identically to every applicant: credit, verified income, rental history, and eviction records. Consistency isn't just fairness — it's your defense if a denied applicant files a fair housing complaint. Our criteria are documented, disclosed, and uniformly applied.
Section 8 and HACLA. Source-of-income discrimination is illegal in California, and voucher tenants are frequently excellent long-term residents. We handle RFTA packets, inspection scheduling and re-inspection, rent reasonableness negotiation against the payment standard, and HAP contract setup.
Lease execution. California and Los Angeles-compliant lease documents with all required addenda and disclosures,
executed electronically.
New construction lease-up. Pre-leasing ahead of certificate of occupancy, an absorption schedule with weekly reporting against it, unit-by-unit pricing against live comps, and a concession structure built to protect effective rent instead of discounting the rent roll permanently.

Commercial leasing
Tenant mix strategy. A retail center performs on its roster. We evaluate prospective tenants for creditworthiness and for what they do to traffic and to the tenants already in place — including exclusivity and use conflicts that create litigation later.
LOI and lease negotiation. Term, rate, escalations, TI allowance, free rent, options, personal guarantees, and recovery structure.
Dark space repositioning. Vacant anchor and inline space, including subdivision analysis and demising costs — which our in-house contractor prices directly.
Renewals. Market analysis and early renewal negotiation, because a renewal is nearly always cheaper than a vacancy plus TI, plus commission.
