Urban Housing ("Urban") was founded and is managed by real estate owners and investors like you. Simply stated, we ?get it? and manage your properties as if they were our own. We excel at finding quality, cost effective solutions to the increasingly demanding requirements of multi-family investment ownership in Santa Monica and throughout California. We are large enough to create economies of scale yet small enough to provide you with personal service tailored to your needs and those of your holdings.

There are many property management companies in California. There are a few good ones and even fewer great ones. How do we know? We have vetted them on our own holdings and the hundreds of properties & thousands of units we have owned, operated, bought and sold over the past 10+ years. If any realization crystallized when we began managing our own portfolio and properties for others, it was that we do it better. We own dozens of properties like yours, including holdings near yours, and we operate them profitably. We have in-house financial, legal and maintenance experts as well as real estate agents and brokers on our team. We also have an in-house leasing staff to minimize downtime in turning units. Additionally, the two company principals consist of a former Deloitte & Touche management consultant and a real estate attorney, broker and developer with a degree from USC who presently serves as an adjunct professor at Pepperdine University School of Law.

The purpose of most investments is to maximize returns. In operating multi-family housing, this means, at a minimum, achieving market rent, keeping vacancy at a minimum and holding down operating expenses while managing and reducing deferred maintenance. Urban Housing has a proven record of achieving market rents and maintaining high occupancy rates. We have maintenance staff in-house for most needs and also work with quality craftsman and contractors to manage both the everyday and larger renovation requirements of your property at a fair price.

Our experience extends to HUD, LAHD, Santa Monica housing and rent control, HACLA, Los Angeles County Health Department, the Los Angeles City Council, the Mayor?s Office and numerous other governmental departments. We have extensive experience representing owners in all municipal and legal hearings, and we know how to navigate and minimize the complications these agencies cause property owners. We also, upon request, perform your evictions for you from notice to judgment.

Urban is here for you and your on-site manager / tenants. Our staff is just a phone call away. You can reach a live bi-lingual person 24 hours a day. We know this business and what it takes to be successful, and we recognize that availability is one key ingredient. The ability to effectively communicate is another, and therefore we offer bi-lingual service to handle the diverse population in the Los Angeles area. If we can?t speak it, we can promptly find someone who can!

We want to meet with you and discuss how we can help you maximize your investment. We will be happy to come to you or you can schedule a visit to our Santa Monica offices. Please contact our offices at (310)586-1800 or e-mail us at Operations@urbanbrokerage-inc.com to begin the process of greater real estate success.
