Hawthorne Residential Partners was founded by Ed Harrington, Shoff Allison, and Samantha Davenport. All have been friends and co-workers for years and share the same principles, desire, and entrepreneurial drive that have shaped the trio of services offered: property management, acquisitions, and development. Phil Payonk joined Hawthorne as Chief Investment Officer and Principal in 2010. The team of original owners has known Phil for many years and worked with Phil while he was in the lender servicing industry. Today, Hawthorne's portfolio consists of more than 57,000+ units across 225+ communities. Hawthorne's rapid growth since the company's inception in early 2009 can be attributed to the strong network of friends and business associates developed over many years.Hawthorne's President, Samantha Davenport, states, "​The passion and commitment to exceed our residents, employees, and clients expectations is exuded throughout our company."​ The company's motto is ​"Live The Difference."​ The "​Live It"​ commitment is evident throughout the company's culture. ​"Live It​"​ represents the company's commitment to superior customer service to our residents, teammates, and clients.
