Tony Self

Tony Self is the HOA Specialist at Harcourts Hunter Mason Realty and the founder of TownhomePros.com, the South Bay's dedicated resource for townhome buyers, sellers, and HOA boards. He is a CACM-trained community management professional and a licensed California real estate broker. His practice sits in the niche most agents avoid: HOA-managed communities, where the deal hinges as much on the association's finances and compliance as it does on any single unit.

Tony runs an HOA management referral and consulting practice. He is not a dues-collection management company, and he is not a lawyer or a CPA. What he does is match boards with the right professionals, reserve preparer, CPA, association counsel, balcony inspector, insurance broker, and community manager, then help them read the proposals. When a self-managed board calls because something broke, Tony sorts what is urgent from what can wait and connects the right vendors in the right order.

He reads reserve studies, budgets, meeting minutes, and CC&Rs the way other agents read MLS comps. Tony knows the Davis-Stirling checkpoints that decide whether a board is compliant: properly run elections with an inspector of elections, SB 326 balcony inspections, a current and funded reserve study, the annual disclosures, the tax and Secretary of State filings, and the fidelity bond. For buyers, he breaks down monthly dues, reserve health, rental restrictions, and pending litigation before they are ever locked in.

Tony operates out of Harcourts Hunter Mason Realty's Redondo Beach office. For buying or selling a townhome, he works with Courtney Self, our townhome sales specialist, while he handles the HOA due diligence behind the deal. Whether you sit on a board that needs a compliance gap-check, run a self-managed community, or want an HOA vetted before you buy, Tony brings document-level HOA expertise that is genuinely hard to find in the South Bay.
