Services Built for
West Hollywood, Hollywood & the Hills.
Apartment ownership here comes with a unique script: tight rent regulations, high tenant expectations, and plenty of operational leakage if you’re not careful.
We offer two straightforward ways to work with us—hands-on property management when you want it handled, and targeted advisory services when you want expert guidance or a clear-eyed look at your portfolio. Both are led by Grant Haws, Esq. and Stephen Dow, M.B.A., with the same owner-first approach and zero tolerance for unnecessary drama.
Haws Property Management 1. Property Management Services
Full-service management that feels like a trusted partner, not a middleman. Ideal for owners who want their buildings running smoothly, compliantly, and profitably without day-to-day involvement. What we handle:
- Compliance & Protection: We navigate West Hollywood RSO registrations, allowable increases, Just Cause requirements, and state rules so you stay protected. As an attorney-led firm, we treat compliance as a core function, not an afterthought.
- Maintenance with Integrity: Our 20+ years in the local market give us an exclusive network of vetted contractors. We coordinate repairs with no markup, treat your budget like our own, and prioritize work that actually protects value.
- Tenant Selection & Leasing: Rigorous, multi-layer screening focused on long-term, low-drama residents. We market effectively and lease with the goal of minimizing turnover and protecting cash flow.
- Financial Transparency & Reporting: Monthly audit-ready statements, real-time access through a secure owner portal, clear expense tracking, and year-end packages ready for your CPA. No surprises, no black boxes.
- Day-to-Day Oversight: Rent collection, inspections, turnovers, emergency response, and resident communication—all handled with the same care we’d give our own properties.
- 24-7 Owner Portal: We provide on-demand access to real-time rent rolls, statements, and cash balances. All powered by Yardi Breeze, the leader in propeerty management software.
Haws Property Management 2. Advisory Services
Strategic guidance, audits, and second opinions for owners, trustees, and even other property managers. For when you want expert eyes on a specific issue, a portfolio review, or help professionalizing systems—without full management. What we offer:
- Gap Assessments & Compliance Audits: A clear-eyed review of rent rolls, expenses, leases, and physical condition. We identify uncaptured revenue, compliance gaps, and risk areas (especially under WeHo RSO and local rules) and deliver a practical roadmap.
- Acquisition Due Diligence: Operational stress-testing of potential purchases. We look for hidden maintenance liabilities, rent-roll inconsistencies, compliance issues, and true income potential before you close.
- Owner & Portfolio Advisory: One-on-one guidance for DIY owners or family offices navigating tenant issues, vendor strategy, NOI optimization, or system professionalization. We also provide third-party audits and training for other property management firms.
- Asset Strategy & Transitions: Value-add and repositioning analysis within rent-stabilization limits, 1031 exchange guidance, portfolio structuring, and continuity planning for trusts and estates.
- Confidential Portfolio Reviews: Discreet, high-level assessments for owners evaluating performance, reinvestment, or long-term options.
Portfolio-Level Fiduciary Services Strategic Advisory & Asset Repositioning
Beyond daily property operations, multi-family and commercial assets require long-range capital stewardship. We help owners, trustees, and family offices navigate complex regulatory mandates, optimize cash flow, and protect multi-generational equity.
Value-Add & Repositioning Audits
Capital expenditure forecasting, unit modernization ROI modeling, and rent-roll upside strategies strictly engineered to operate within local rent-stabilization ordinances.
1031 Exchange & Portfolio Transition
Strategic guidance on transitioning out of management-intensive or heavily regulated multi-family assets into passive DST structures, triple-net commercial holdings, or higher-yielding investments.
Trust & Estate Asset Continuity
Fiduciary-level oversight, standard financial reporting, and asset preservation tailored for family trusts, generational wealth transfers, and trustee compliance.
