Ed Hochman - License #: 01924661

​Ed Hochman's career in property management started in 2003 when he took a job with AIMCO at a 1279-unit property in Woodland Hills, CA.  His primary duties were to supervise the maintenance team, and lease apartments.  He established and managed a "preventative maintenance program" and was ranked top leasing consultant, achieving a score of 100 in a blinded customer service satisfaction survey. 

In 2004, Ed was promoted to the position of assistant manager of a 279-unit, class "A", mixed use property in Los Angeles, CA where he managed the leasing team, coordinated resident relations, resolved resident complaints, and administered accounts receivables and payables.

A year later, Ed accepted an offer from Advanced Management and took the position of property manager on a 206 unit property in Lakewood, CA.  During his time there, Ed helped coordinate complete rehabilitation of the property, and was awarded the title "Manager of the year" in both 2006 and 2009. 

He was able to maintain very high occupancy levels while at the same time increasing revenues.  He initiated a profitable recycling program which was then duplicated companywide.   As a result of his success in managing the property, Ed was then hand-picked by the owners to help revive another property  they own. 

Upon completing his graduate studies in 2010, Ed left Advanced Management and took a job as a Regional Manager for Norman Jacobson Property Management where he successfully managed 17 properties in  Southern California.

In December 2012, Ed received his broker's license and decided to venture out on his own.  In 2013, he founded Hawk Management.

Ed graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science from the University of California Irvine and holds a Master of Business Administration degree from Loyola Marymount University.

In 2020, Ed served as the Vice President for the Los Angeles chapter of NARPM, and in 2021 he became the chapter's President (see link below).

Hagit Karavany - License #: 02114871

There are few moments in life more rewarding than handing keys over to a new tenant. At least this is what Hagit Karavany believes. It fits perfectly with her motto: “Choose a job you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life.” It may seem an odd juxtaposition considering Hagit’s reputation for hard work, but her passion for real estate almost creates an impression that her skilled approach is effortless. She can’t help but make this look easy!

You’d be hard pressed to find a more self-disciplined agent than Hagit, a virtue she credits in part to years spent serving in the army of her native Israel. She married those skill sets to her razor sharp business acumen, starting her own successful company. But a part of her yearned for American shores so she eventually made the move to New York City before moving to sunnier climes in Los Angeles, California nearly a decade ago.

Hagit briefly worked in rentals while living in New York, but it wasn’t until her move to California that she really got to display her realty expertise. She wasted no time in joining Redfin as an independent contractor where she hosted showings before a quick promotion to lead agent just six months later. Today, she’s bringing her responsive, friendly, and quick-on-her-feet style (not to mention her fluency in Hebrew!) to servicing Southern California. Here she continues to love every minute of that climb to the all-important moment when she hands a set of keys off to another happy tenant.

A true fanatic for real estate, Hagit finds it difficult to stop thinking about the job when she’s out of the office, regularly browsing properties online to stoke her creative mind. However, she always has time for family. She’s a self-professed animal obsessive (especially her dog who she considers part of the family), though quickly adds that she’s even more obsessed with her toddler and husband. With her untamable energy, she prefers to unwind with immersive nature hikes and quick getaways to Mexico.
