Marketing
and Leasing
When marketing rental property for lease, the landlord has
the advantage of targeting potential lease prospects in
advance. Being selective in leasing rental property is a
key factor in maintaining a successful building. Through
the use of a market study, project signage, target mailings,
local advertising and tenant referrals, we can gain optimal
exposure for a property to ensure a successful marketing
program.

Maintenance
Supervision
The utmost in care must be used in the hiring, training,
evaluating and supervising all contractors involved in the
maintenance of your property. Only contractors who are fully
insured and have a successful track record will be given
consideration. Inferior work will never be tolerated. The
goal of the maintenance program is to maintain, protect
and enhance the aesthetic qualities and the mechanical functions
of the property so as to ensure the highest rent and occupancy
level possible.
Inspections
Inspections will be made regularly by the supervising property
manager to verify that all maintenance work is satisfactory.
These inspections will include communications with the tenants
for their input on maintaining the integrity of the business
environment. The results of these inspections will be communicated
to the owners.
Accounts Payable
Each invoice will be carefully reviewed before payment.
This process insures that only correct amounts for work
completed as ordered receives approval. Extraordinary items
of a significant amount require the owner's prior approval
as per the management agreement. All discounts received
by the management firm will be passed on to the building
owners.
Collections
A successful collections program requires that the property
manager condition the tenants to pay their rent on time.
The property owner must not ever be deemed a "partner"
in the tenant's business and one who allows and accepts
late payment. The late charge provisions of the lease must
be enforced.
Reporting
The reports which are recommended for use are as follows:
I ) An operating statement and a year to date profit and
loss statement which allows the owners to see variances
in operating income and expense categories on a month to
month basis,
2) A tenant rent roll which shows the current lease terms
and the current billing status on a tenant by tenant basis,
3) A disbursement journal which clearly shows each check
written against the property's trust account and explains
what the check was for.
The reports will be distributed to the owners by the l5th
day of the following month.
Tenant Relations
An effort to be responsive and fair as a property manager
is essential to the investment's success. Property management
is a service not only to the owners, but to the tenants
as well. We will strive to have all tenants as satisfied
with their living and working environment as possible.
Insurance
The cost and protection provided of all insurance policies
will be carefully reviewed by the property manager. The
ownership will be further protected by having every contractor
carefully screened to ensure that they carry adequate workers
compensation and liability insurance.
Energy Management
The efficient utilization of the energy systems of the building
will be carefully reviewed on a regular basis to verify
that any modern cost saving technique with a reasonable
payback period is utilized.
Security
In today's society it is essential that personal belongings
and real property be secured against crime and natural disaster
to the greatest extent possible. It is the property management
company's responsibility to propose and implement policy
and procedure to effect a safe living and working environment.
Forms Review
The investment value will also be protected by implementation
of prudent forms and documents used in the management of
the property. Lease clauses, inspection reports, credit
checks and other forms which have been successful will be
used in the management program. A working relationship with
attorneys, insurance specialists, and management organizations
such as the Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM) lend
important input into the constant evaluation of successful
management documentation.
Bottom Line Results
The management program outlined above has shown time and
again bottom line results. The most important element of
the management program is the integrity of the people involved
in the property management process. Results are obtained
only by the merging of attention to detail and product. |
