Mars Shabazz
Chief Executive Officer
A Local Team Built on Trust & Results
I’m Mars Shabazz, founder of Shabazz Solves Hosting, born, raised, and rooted in Washington, DC.
This company was built from the ground up to serve people like my own family, everyday homeowners who worked hard to keep their property, only to face rising costs, unclear laws, and the constant pressure to sell. I saw how gentrification was pushing out the very people who built the soul of DC, and I knew we needed real tools to fight back, not just talk.
We started with short-term rental support, helping families earn income without selling their homes. But what we saw was deeper: most homeowners didn’t just need marketing tips, they needed legal help, contractor connections, tenant support, and someone to walk them through the process.
That’s why we’re building something bigger, a local support system that meets people where they are. Not everyone wants to become a landlord. Not everyone can afford a full-service property manager. But everyone deserves to keep what they’ve built.
Whether you're navigating probate, dealing with squatters, unsure how to price a room, or just overwhelmed, we’re here to help you stay rooted, earn income, and protect your legacy.
We don’t answer to big investors or out-of-town companies. We answer to our neighbors.
And we’re just getting started.

How much does the membership cost?
We’re still finalizing pricing — but it’s designed to be affordable and accessible, especially for DC homeowners who’ve been left out of traditional support systems. Joining the waitlist is free and gives you first access when we launch.
Is this a one-time service or ongoing support?
It’s ongoing. Our membership is built for continued support, so as challenges come up, you’re not left alone. Whether it’s your first repair or your fifth tenant, we’ve got you
What makes this different from property management companies?
