Meet the Founders of Haines and Haven Residential

At Haines and Haven Residential, property management is not approached as a side service—it is treated as a structured, full-time operation built around performance, communication, and long-term results.


The company was founded with a clear objective: to provide a more responsive, transparent, and investor-aligned property management experience in Central Florida and beyond. This applies to property owners at every stage—from those with a single investment property to those managing large, multi-property portfolios.


Today, Haines and Haven works with property owners both locally and internationally, managing residential and commercial assets across Polk County and the greater Orlando and Central Florida area.


Lucas Oliveira | Co-Founder & Broker

Lucas Oliveira is a Florida-based real estate broker with a background in operations, property management, and real estate investment.


He has lived in Florida for most of his life, including Pensacola and Orlando, before relocating to Polk County in 2016 to begin his career in property management. He attended the University of Central Florida, where he completed his college education in 2015.


Before entering real estate, Lucas spent eight years working with Fortune 500 companies, where he was promoted five times into a range of operational roles, including logistics, receiving, sales, and management. These roles helped shape a systems-driven approach focused on efficiency, accountability, and team leadership.


Since entering the property management industry in 2016, Lucas has been involved in the growth and oversight of large residential portfolios, managing operations, onboarding, and leasing performance at scale. Over the course of his career, he has overseen the onboarding of several hundred properties and the placement of close to 1,000 tenants. His focus has consistently been on building efficient processes, improving communication, and maintaining strong relationships with property owners.


Lucas obtained his real estate broker’s license in 2021 and later co-founded Haines and Haven Residential, with the goal of creating a more structured, responsive, and investor-focused property management company.


He works with property owners both across the United States and internationally, including clients based in China, the United Kingdom, Canada, Brazil, and other parts of Europe. Fluent in English and Brazilian Portuguese, and conversational in Spanish, Lucas is able to communicate effectively with a diverse range of investors navigating the Central Florida market.


As a property owner himself, Lucas focuses on long-term rental investments and applies the same standards and expectations to client properties that he uses in his own portfolio.


Outside of real estate, he has a long-standing interest in skateboarding and continues to train in martial arts, with a focus on grappling.


Tricia Hohn | Co-Founder & Operations

Tricia Hohn brings a strong operational and maintenance-focused background to Haines and Haven Residential.


Before relocating to the United States, Tricia owned and operated businesses in Australia, including a service-based business and involvement in custom ski boat operations. Through these ventures, she developed experience in staff management, workflow coordination, and financial oversight, while also completing a formal trade apprenticeship that instilled a practical, detail-oriented approach to problem-solving.


After transitioning into property management in the United States, Tricia built hands-on experience in residential maintenance before moving into a Maintenance Coordinator role and obtaining her real estate license. With over five years of direct property management experience—and nearly a decade working closely within housing and maintenance environments—she plays a key role in ensuring properties are maintained efficiently and issues are resolved quickly.


Her approach is structured, proactive, and solutions-driven. From coordinating repairs to overseeing property condition and vendor performance, she focuses on minimizing downtime and protecting the long-term value of each asset under management.


A Process-Driven Approach to Property Management

Haines and Haven Residential is built on the belief that property management should be proactive rather than reactive.

The company operates with a strong emphasis on communication, transparency, and execution. Owners are kept informed, issues are addressed directly, and properties are managed with a long-term investment mindset.


This approach has allowed the company to work successfully with both local and out-of-state owners, as well as international investors who rely on consistent updates, clear reporting, and reliable on-the-ground management.


Rather than overpromising, the focus is on delivering a structured and dependable service—one that prioritizes occupancy, property condition, and overall performance.


Work With Us

Whether you are a local property owner, an out-of-state investor, or based internationally, Haines and Haven Residential provides full-service property management designed to simplify ownership and improve results.
