Founding owners, Ron and Lynda Hammond, started their property management careers when they bought their first investment property in 1970. Ron became a licensed Real Estate Agent in 1977 and a Real Estate Broker in 1982. Several of their friends and relatives saw how successful they had become and asked if they would manage their property as well. Then, in 1984 Hammond & Hammond was incorporated and the rest is history. For over 30 years they built a reputation for providing honest, experienced and professional property management service. In 2009 Ron and Lynda retired from the business, while the next generation took their place. Now, most days you will find Ron surfing in Malibu.
