Company Profile

Since its founding in 1970, DMM Management has grown from the remodeling and management of a single one-bedroom home in Hermosa Beach -- and a single employee -- to become one of Southern California's fastest-growing property management and leasing firms. Today our staff oversees a portfolio of thousands of apartment units, as well as single-family homes and commercial properties located throughout the region.

We work with individuals, partnerships, lenders, trustees, receivers, and other property owners to protect their investment, by making sure their properties remain in top-quality condition and performing to expectations in the most cost-efficient manner possible. Many of these owners have been DMM clients for ten, twenty years or even longer.

DMM is owned and operated by real estate professionals with more than 100 years of combined experience. Trained, licensed and bonded we are actively involved in such organizations as the Institute of Real Estate Management, Associated Housing Management Assn., the Apartment Assn. of Greater Los Angeles, the Apartment Association/California Southern Cities, the Associated Housing Management Assn., Loopnet and the California Dept. of Consumer Affairs. We are thoroughly versed in all federal, state and local laws and regulations governing property ownership and management. More importantly, we are actively involved in the communities in which we live and work, so we are in close contact with the unique needs, housing demand and economic conditions of virtually every neighborhood we serve.

Another strength offered by DMM is our commitment to maintaining direct lines of communication between clients and our professional staff. Our area management system ensures multiple levels of property supervision, resident manager reporting and overall attention to client needs and concerns. Our experienced field supervisors are trained in all aspects of hands-on property management, and visit each site on a weekly basis.

Finally, DMM's project management system -- utilizing the latest software -- ensures up-to-date reporting on such critical indicators as collected rents, vacancies, pre-rented units, ownership distributions, etc Our accounting department also helps when it comes to year-end tax preparation, by providing full disclosure and an excellent audit trail.
