Ascend Real Estate & Property Management was founded with one clear goal: to make real estate simple and stress-free for homeowners, investors, and tenants throughout Bakersfield and Kern County, California.

The company has been named to the Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing companies, highlighted in 30 Under 30, and voted 2024 Best of Bakersfield for Property Management. Ascend specializes in residential property management, home sales, and renovations, currently managing over 1,800 rental properties and facilitating the sale of more than 500 homes. Under the leadership of Nik Boone, Ascend has earned a reputation for professionalism, operational excellence, and results-driven service, with recognition at both the national and international level.
