Property management for eastern LA owners
Local team, transparent fees, two-week vacancy turnaround. We manage 47 units across Echo Park, Silver Lake, Highland Park, and Koreatown.
Atlas was started by two former large-PMC operators who got tired of watching owners get nickel-and-dimed and renters get jerked around. We charge a flat 8% with no surprise fees, and our average vacancy is 14 days because we list with full requirements upfront — qualified applicants self-select.

Why owners pick us
A management partner, not a vendor
**We're small on purpose.** 47 units total. We turn down management contracts that would dilute our focus or pull us outside our four neighborhoods.
**We answer the phone.** Owners get a direct cell number for Carla or Devon. Maintenance emergencies go to a 24/7 line answered by a real person, not a voicemail.
**Vacancy is the enemy.** Average time-to-lease in our portfolio is 14 days because we list with full transparency and price to market. Compare to the LA county average of 32 days for 1BRs.
Transparent fees
Our fees
No surprises — every line item up front, in writing.
**8% of monthly rent.** No leasing fee, no markup on maintenance vendors (we pass through actual invoices), no "administrative fee" on top.
Month-to-month — cancel any time with 30 days' notice. We're confident enough in the work that we don't lock owners in.
Owner stories
What owners say
I had three units in Highland Park, two of which were chronically vacant. Atlas got all three rented inside a month and my net cash flow went up 22% even after their fee.
We switched from a big-name PMC and immediately stopped getting random charges added to our monthly statement. Maintenance is faster, my tenants seem happier, and the math is way clearer.
I live in Phoenix and own one duplex in Echo Park. Atlas treats it like one of theirs. I get monthly photo reports of common areas — that's not in any contract, they just do it.
FAQ
Common questions from Los Angeles owners
What size portfolios do you take on?
Anything from a single duplex up to a 25-unit building. Most of our owners have 1-6 units. We turn down portfolios that would push us above 60 total units.
How do you handle maintenance markups?
We don't. Our partner Eastside Trades sends us their actual invoices, which we forward to owners. We don't add a percentage.
Do you require a minimum contract?
No. Month-to-month with 30 days' notice on either side. We're confident enough in the work to not lock anyone in.
What neighborhoods do you cover?
Echo Park, Silver Lake, Highland Park, and Koreatown only. We turn down properties outside this geography because we know it would dilute our service.
Do you place tenants for owners who self-manage?
Yes — flat $1,200 placement-only fee. Includes listing, showings, screening, and lease prep. Owner takes over from there.
