Testimonials
Ed is extremely reliable and knows how to bring projects to completion quickly and efficiently. I Hired Hawk Management about a year ago and they are doing wonderful job my tenants are happy with their service that means that i am happy too. They take care of any issue quick and in the most professional way. Ed has been our property manager for three years while living in Central America and if we could adopt him as our son, we would! Ed inherited our difficult property with a persistent pest problem and upset tenants, and two landlords before him couldn't solve the problem. Within two months, it was smooth sailing, everybody happy, and it's been out of our hair for more than two years! He's outstanding at what he does: trouble-shooting problems, personable and fair with both owner and tenant, excellent at managing the monies and making the deposit, always accessible by phone or email, including his attorney, very quick to get the companies out to take care of the property (e.g. pest control, landscape, plumber, etc..), willing to go above and beyond to help us in every way, east-to-work with rental agreements, very reasonable costs for his services without nickel and diming the owner. I interviewed ten property managers and it came down to two, but felt best about Ed and his companies' services. For three years, he has been exactly what he said he would be: hard working with extremely high-quality service to make the property work for both owner and tenant! If you are looking for a great property manager, we highly recommend Ed! If you have any questions and want to personally talk to me, please call me at (626) 478-9755. Our business completely depends on clients like Mr. Hochman. He has been a joy to deal with as he is very responsible with his management skills, his attention to detail, his paperwork regarding his tenants, and his payment history. I wish we had more clients like him. We contacted a few property management companies before selecting Ed and Hawk Management. A central part of what won us over and keeps us satisfied is the flexibility and attention to detail, which Ed displays. He keeps his word, follows through on his promises, and most importantly, gets the job done. What you see is what you get with Ed. He's honest and transparent. It's certainly not easy to over your property to anyone, but Ed's experience, communication skills, and availability, give us the piece of mind of knowing that our properties are in good hands. Admittedly, I was a little nervous about hiring a PM from a website--but I lucked out big time when I was referred to Ed. Ed is very personable and likable guy and put me completely at ease Ed is very knowledgeable about property management in addition to being very efficient about making things happen in a timely manner. So far, I have been very impressed with his level of responsiveness as I have some tenant issues that needed to be addressed quickly and he was on it almost immediately. He told me what he was going to do and then followed through 100%. My only regret is that I didn't call him sooner--it would have saved me some major headaches. I really look forward to a long relationship with Hawk Management. Ed is extremely reliable and knows how to bring projects to completion quickly and efficiently. Ed and his team are professional, friendly, and maintain excellent communication with their clients. I highly recommend their services. Ed is an ideal property manager. Been very happy with his service. Very reliable and punctual in responding to any questions or requests. We highly recommend him. Ed and Hawk Management took care of a property for us for 3 years while I was out of the country. I looked into 10 prop managers, boiled it down to 2, and went with Ed. Good price, good ref's, guaranteed he would deal with problems(rodent infestation at the time) and take great care of the property. Ed was fantastic! I cannot imagine a better property manager. He was a true godsend and I would give him 10 stars if the rating went higher! having been in the single family rental business for many years, I have seen a few different management styles. I have got to tell you that Ed, owner of Hawk Management is by far the most educated, caring, responsible and professional manager I have seen. He is up to date on all the latest technology, and he shares his knowledge with you if need be. Ed is courteous, respectful and will get the job done, satisfying both the tenants as well as the property owner. I am amazed at how quickly he responds, which is rare in this business! We all know that communication is key! Ed really chose the perfect name for his company, Hawk Management.....he really does watch your business like a hawk. If you are looking for a property manager, please do yourself a favor and call Ed. You will be extremely satisfied, your search will be over, leaving you to enjoy life once again! I am! Very responsive, no sales gimmicks or tactics. I worked with Ed Hochman at a recent real estate conference. He's professional, conscientious, and innovative in his excellent management of properties. I, along with my family recently moved into an apartment with Hawk Management. Jack, who assisted us in the application and move in process, was very helpful and always took the time to answer our questions and concerns. So far we are very pleased with the professionalism and care that Jack and Hawk Management has given to us. Definitely would recommend. As a former employee of Hawk Mgmt I know that it is the best property management you could hire for your management needs or could have as a tenant. Ed is a true professional who is extremely responsive and treats the property as if it belongs in his own personal portfolio. As we are out of state often we rely heavily on his oversight in dealing not just with the tenant, but with the homeowner association. When there are repairs that need to be done he gets the best quality contractors at an economical price. I certainly recommend him to anyone looking for a property manager. The office that I manage has been a vendor for Hawk Management for the past 3 years and its always been a pleasure working with Ed and his team. Best kept secret! Hawk management makes you feel like family. Honest, caring, truly looks out for the client. I met Ed, the broker/owner several years when he attended a meeting at a local industry trade group, Los Angeles National Association of Property Managers (NARPM). Over the years we have gotten to know each other whether at industry functions or over informal lunches. He is a consummate professional and is dedicated to providing his owners exceptional service with the highest integrity. When I have a question in my business I often call him to bounce ideas around and have found him to be generous and honest. Your property and tenants will be in good hands with Ed Hochman. I have worked with many property management companies over the years to manage my properties. Most property management companies nickel and dime you on repairs. Not only does hawk management give you a guarantee to make it easy to do business with them but they actually take the worry and concern out of property management. If you're an investor or even just an absentee home owner and looking to avoid getting those late-night calls etc. Hawk Management is the company to call. Wow! 5 stars on this one. Noojume was so friendly and easy to work with. Great attitude. Extremely helpful and helped us close the deal quickly efficiently. Thank you so much! My roommates and I were searching for a new place. We contacted hawk management and dealt directly with Noojume. she was an absolute blessing. She streamlined the entire process, answered every frantic text, email and phone call. She was always kind, COURTEOUS and helpful, and made the stressful process of property hunting and securing a place super easy and straight forward. 5 stars and I couldn't recommend her more! This is one of the best property management companies to work with as a vendor! Jack is always on top of things, responds promptly, sets high standards, and delivers them as well. A very well run company with amazing staff! Working with them, you are in good hands! Hawk management is great! They swiftly took over my 6-unit complex recently. I vetted a few management companies and I am satisfied with my decision. The prior property management company were neglectful and Ed immediately handled the issues with ease. Ed and Jack have gone above and beyond in managing my property. From the get go they've been professional and competent in providing excellent management skills. They are true to their words in watching my property like a Hawk! As a former tenant who rented with Hawk Management, I can safely say they give one of the best management experiences I’ve ever had. Having lived in New York, Orange County, and West Hollywood, I was happiest with Hawk as landlords. They were fair, very responsive, and handled every maintenance issue though out my stay with utmost professionalism. Ed & Jack were so very helpful and will take the best care of you. I recommend going with Hawk Management and would give 100 stars if I could! Working with ED was really easy. He also found a tenant for a good rate in about a week Initially I was scheduled to move in on a certain date according to the agent I was dealing with, but some how there was miscommunication between that agent and the office. Therefor I was unable to move in on that date. Once Jack got wind of what had taken place he step right up and put the pieces back together. He made sure I was able to move in on that same weekend at least. He took the time out to call me and reassure me that everything was going to go smoothly and he apologized deeply for the miscommunication between the original agent I was dealing with. The long beach area (which is the area I moved too) isn't even his area but he still took time out to make sure I got moved and received my keys. He even bought me a house warming gift (thank u). Mind you the majority of this communication between me and jack took place on his days off. That shows you he really does care about his clients. If you happen to come across this management company request JACK you WON'T be disappointed. TRUST! We just moved into an apartment managed by Hawk Management and we're thrilled! Jack is fantastic! I've never dealt with a property management company before and I didn't know what to expect. Jack is really friendly, knowledgeable, and very prompt with communication. He made the entire process go smoothly and quick. Great company!!! So far so good. We've been at our current residence for about 3 months now, and we have had wonderful service. Maintenance is timely, management is easy to talk to, and I really get the sense that they care about making things right for us. Light years ahead of our previous management company. Ed is always there to respond to my texts, and does what's right. Thank you, guys! I recently moved into one of the hawk management property buildings. Jack Kohler made the experience and process extremely easy and stress free. From the moment he showed us the available unit, he was attending and informative. Everything done online and he walked us through all the necessary steps to make the process fast and efficient. Emails are always answered in a timely manner. We've been moved in for a month now and are pleased with the service and attentiveness. Thank you Jack! Hawk Management responded to my inquiry immediately, answered all my questions, and educated me about things I hadn't even considered yet. Ed offered to come to my place in person to meet me before making a decision about working with him, which I thought was very generous. He really knows this business! Ed and Jack at Hawk management are as good as it gets. They worked tirelessly and persistently to find potential tenants and did not let up until they got results, the time it took was very reasonable for the situation. They're also communicative, honest, and never leave you hanging wondering how things are going. Simply put, they are a great team and get the job done. As do we as the owners, they want the property to be good quality for the tenants and give great recommendations on how to achieve this but always leaving the decisions without pressure to us. When we suggest something they are responsive as well. I would recommend them very highly! We recently moved from TN to CA and rented a house by searching zillow. It turned out that the house is managed by Hawk Management. During the process of application and move-in, Jack is always very efficient and helpful, and he came to meet us for move-in checking in the holiday. When we found some problems, he responded quickly for solutions. We really thank him and Hawk Management for providing high-quality customer service. Jack at Hawk Management is great. He helped us find a great new home. The application process is a bit lengthy, but well worth it. Jack is great at his job. Move in went smooth and was very detailed. Ed and Jack are great! They are hardworking, attentive, professional, and get the job done. I really feel like they care about their clients and have a true passion for their job. I have truly appreciated working with them in these last few months. We recently moved into a new apartment at one of the Hawk Management buildings and are really happy with the apartment. Katya's assistance in the entire process was extremely helpful. She answer all of our questions in a timely manner. We moved in about three weeks ago and are very happy with this new apartment. Thank you Katya for making the entire process stressless. We've been working with Hawk Management for several years and have had nothing but a great experience. Their communication is prompt, and their staff are always so helpful and courteous. Our main point of contact has been Jack and he's always quick to reply if we have questions or concerns. We would highly recommend Hawk Management to anyone renting or looking for a property management company to list for their own property. Ed has been managing our property for years. Any time I have a question, he responds promptly. He follows up on tenant needs and keeps us in the loop on the progress of any work that needs to be done. I get monthly financial reports, too. If you are looking for someone trustworthy to take care of your property, please consider Ed. I recommend him highly. I've been a tenant with hawk mgmt for a while now. They have always been helpful with any request we need with my apartment. They respond back fast and follow up as soon as the jobs is done. I would like to thank jack for helping with a issue I had recently. He got on top of the situation right away and was able to update me as soon as it was fix. Highly recommend! Just became a tenant under Hawk Management and they are fantastic. I love being able to pay online with their app and having all my documents there in one place. Jack Kohler is my guy there, and he is always responsive and checks in with me, and he's just a good, friendly person to deal with. Very patient and a good sense of humor. I feel very fortunate. When I signed the lease, I was greeted with a welcome goody bag, and it's saved my life because there are no more paper towels or soap in CA! So thank you, jack! Everything in that bag has come in handy during this crazy pandemic. These little thoughtful touches go a long way. Very happy and grateful tenant here! |

Ed and the entire Hawk Management staff are wonderful to work with. I have used their services for the past three years, and they have been very helpful and responsive throughout that period. Ed is the best and knows his stuff and also helped me with a legal process. Personally Hawk Mgmt (Ed) was very thorough in his analysis and willingness to manage our company. What concerned our HOA was that we would like legal representation without going outside of the firm to obtain it. In the future we will consider them again if the company we chose doesn't work out the us. Hawk management deserves a 15 star rating. The owner, Ed, excels at what he does. He works quickly, efficiently, and he cares about YOU as well as your investments. If you need a PM, do not look any further. Hawk management is your answer. Trust me, I have been in this business for 38 years, Ed is the best. I love his determination, enthusiasm, professionalism. After hiring Hawk management, I live WORRY FREE! You will too! Even though I only signed a contract a few days ago, I feel confident that Hawk Management will meet or exceed my needs. I am so happy i met ed who is a true professional. my orange county property was managed for 5 years by another company and I worried since day one. I lost so much trust I wanted to sell my property! We have worked with Ed at Hawk Management for several years now. We have been impressed with the professionalism and proactive nature of his property management. Ed finds quality tenants and manages all of the issues with our rental unit. Recently we have had the opportunity to recommend Hawk Management to both family and friends. He has always followed up and impressed all that deal with him. I've lived in a number of places and had dealt with many property management companies and I have to say hawk management is one of the most efficient and professional services I have dealt with. Ed, Jessica and Jack have always responded to our requests and issues in a fast, efficient and friendly manner and made sure of our comfort as tenants. Highly recommend! I've only just recently become a tenant of Hawk Management but already I'm very pleased with the way they conduct themselves. Communication is swift and receptive and there is great follow-through among the staff. Maintenance requests are addressed in a timely and effective manner and it's been a pleasure dealing with them so far. I've worked with Hawk Management & with other clients of Hawk Management. The reviews are the same across the board: Ed truly takes care of his clients. He treats each individual with respect & professionalism that's hard to find these days! As a real estate broker I was looking for someone I could refer my clients to for property management related services. I was lucky enough to meet Ed and his team at Hawk Management.

Your team was so helpful! you made my move so easy with no worries. very talented and knowledgeable everything went smooth and fast. I've moved quite a few times while living in Los Angeles and Hawk Management is one of the most professional property management companies that I've corresponded with.

Everyone has been extremely respectful and it's honestly been a pleasure to have a reliable management company such as Hawk Management that took care of all my issues. Ed, Matt, and Jessica, you guys really made this my home and I truly appreciate it! honest guys in business! Used so many companies in the past. definitely the most reliable on time and solving the worst problem. Highly recommended Thank You Ed. I worked with Jack extensively during my stay in a Hawk Management operated property. I can't describe how far above and beyond he repeatedly went for my family and I, to make any issues easily addressable. He is extremely personable, responsible, and professional, and made our stay very easy. I cannot recommend this guy enough, seriously! 5 stars is a total no-brainer for Jack! I've known Ed for many years, and I know that he takes great pride in his business and the work he does. He is extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of property management and really cares about his clients. I highly recommend Ed and Hawk Management, and know that you will be in good hands with them. I worked with Ed (Hawk Management) for over 2 years as a trusted plumbing vendor to the properties he manages. I can tell just from our working relationship that Ed places tremendous value in the upkeep of the properties he manages and in the relationships he has built with his customers. He always looks out for the best interest of both the tenants residing in the property and the owners of the property. He is completely involved in the process of restoring the plumbing to optimal standing whenever a complaint is filed. Ed uses a very efficient system to place plumbing orders with our company unlike any of our other customers. We are immediately notified when any of the tenants or property managers file a plumbing complaint, and Ed is completely on top of following up on every work order placed to ensure that we too are on top of it. Ed is incredibly professional, hard-working, and amazing to work with. I've worked with lots of property managers but few of his caliber. Noojume with Hawk management has been a dream come true in helping us lock down a wonderful apartment in downtown Long Beach. She has been prompt with answering questions and aiding in the application/rental process, always remaining friendly and professional. The apartment and building managed by Hawk management is gorgeous and we are so excited to move in. Thank you Noojume! I have experienced nothing but great attitude with Jack. He is very helpful and really nice. Whenever I have had questions he has been very swift to get answers and resolve queries. Great management company! Everyone is really helpful when I have any type of concern or maintenance need. Jack came by so quickly when I put in my work order, and had everything resolved in one day! Best management and maintenance team I've ever rented through! I've recently moved into a property managed by this company. It has been a great experience. Their lease is detailed and payment is easy. They are also so quick to respond. Jack in particular has been a great help in fixing any issue we have had and responding to any question or concern. It's so nice having a management team that values their tenants. My friends and I had an all around wonderful experience working with Hawk Management and Jack! We had such a positive experience that was very quick, efficient, and professional. There was amazing communication and he did everything he could to try and make things work with us. Would definitely recommend this company! Hawk Management is a 5 star property management company. I would recommend this company to any one I know in the long beach area. Jack is one of the most genuine people I have met in this industry. He is quick to respond and makes the move in process as easy as it gets. Not many companies will give out their personal numbers and have contact with you in such a timely manner. This company understands what it's like and how hectic the move in can be. Jack is highly recommendable! These guys really value their customers. Hawk management made the whole rental application process and move into our new place incredibly smooth. We worked directly with Jack, who has been super reliable and easy to get in touch with, whenever anything comes up, whether it be an issue with the apartment that needs a quick fix or a question regarding paperwork. Our first week here has been great! I just recently ended a lease that was overseen by Hawk Management, and I could not be happier with their attentiveness. I would describe our situation as pretty easy, the unit needed minimal work done over the two years. Whenever something was wrong, it was remarkably easy to contact them for prompt help over text or via their tenement portal. The tenant portal was great, as we used it to pay rent online. We were even able to split the rent between me and my roommate via the portal, so we didn't need one person to pay it all and then have the other cut a check on the back end. On move-out, I was helped out by Jack, who was so very pleasant. Easy going, thorough, wise, and willing to help. He made the process of moving out so quick and painless. He has a very comforting and cool demeanor, was a joy to work with him. Thanks for the help and memories! I thought this type of professionalism was gone but I guess not. Very fast response and follow up, thank you very much for being there. Moving into your first apartment can be a stressful part of "adulting" but i have to say that Jack at Hawk management has made this journey so much easier. Whenever I've had a maintenance issue or general questions he's been extremely helpful, shows genuine concern, and makes sure that he answers any questions and address every issue. I DEFINITELY recommend using hawk management as a resource if you're looking for a quality place of living. Make sure to ask for Jack! 5 stars Ed and his team at Hawk Management are consummate professionals. They managed my property in California for several years and Ed's responsiveness and attention to detail ensured I had absolute piece of mind the entire time. When I decided to sell the property, he helped me connect with an incredible realtor and assisted me through the end of the sale. Can't recommend his services highly enough. Just got a new house/apartment today wIth the help of Jack Kohler and I couldn't be happier. He has been super helpful when we had any questions, and extremely quick with responses via text, calls, or emails. We did a walk-through today and got all the keys. He showed us everything with the property and we signed off afterwards on the move-in sheet. I've had two landlords already in the Los Angeles area, and this group/Jack have been the best so far. I've actually met my landlord, and they have been very responsive with every part of this application process. I would recommend using this group if you are looking for a property to lease. Thanks Jack! I just want to say thank you to Mr. Ed Hochman (Hawk Management) who always respond back so fast when ever I email him with any type of issues regarding my dad's house. He always have answers for me within minutes. I appreciate all the help and excellent service I get from this company especially Mr. Ed Hochman. Thank you, Kery The first place to say thank you, jack and Paul, is that the professional people in their work ,I appreciate friendly service and that is the key to all success, next is a great apartment, and a quiet place for you to enjoy your living space at hawk management. Thanks again, Jack and Paul! Jack is simply the best! He was so timely with questions, eager to help clarify or provide guidance throughout the process, and was just such a pleasure to work with. Would highly RECOMMEND Jack for anything. I have been in the rental business (single family homes) for over 35 years now. I have managed these homes myself, hired and fired management teams, and I finally found the best company ever! Ed Hochman, the owner of Hawk Management is the best manager out there. I had a home that was destroyed by previous tenants while being managed by someone else. Due to the stress of this, my health suffered terribly and I am an out of state owner. I met with Ed, and he took over the property immediately! He boarded the house up, started a claim with the insurance company right away, secured my property and had the entire house remodeled all on his own! Now mind you, he did not receive any money from me until the home rented so you can see that Ed is not all about money. Ed is about doing the right thing, for both owners and tenants. He is someone who is trustworthy and you want by your side when the worst happens! I will never forget the kindness, professionalism, and friendship Ed Hochman has displayed. Trust me, do not waste anymore time researching property management companies. The level of service provided by Hawk Management can't be beat! Hawk Management is an amazing management company that has served me and my family for more than 2 years. Working with Ed Hochman has been very smooth and easy. He is able to respond quickly on any issue that I've requested him and I thank him for always being there for us. |
