Management Services
How We Do It
From the thorough inspections and working analysis on initial takeover of a property, to the detailed monthly reports to owners, all of our activities mesh into a program of both short and long term planning for the property.
Upon gaining a full understanding of the client’s ownership goals, we develop and recommend a management plan designed to achieve these goals.
Determining the owner’s needs and goals
Careful planning and budgeting.
The objectives of planning are to maximize the return to the owner and enhance the value of the asset. The benefits of careful planning and budgeting cannot be over emphasized. Planning and budgeting establishes objectives, eliminates surprises, provides for sound fiscal control and protects your investment. There is no substitute for careful planning.
Performing regular inspections of the property.
Made by members of our staff experienced in the supervision of property and, where necessary, by experts in appropriate technical fields. Preventive maintenance is the key!
Careful specification and supervision of maintenance.
All work necessary to effect major repairs or improvements is put to tender, quotes being obtained from three firms known to be reliable in the trade. An authorization for expenditures above any sum which, the owner may set, will be obtained (except for emergencies).
Purchasing of goods and services at optimum prices and passing discounts on to the property owners.
All purchases are strictly monitored through the use of a purchase order system. Owner’s benefit because of our ability to get the lowest price in the purchasing of maintenance supplies and a broad range of services.
Recruiting/Training/Supervision of on-site employees, if applicable.
We are responsible for the selection, hiring, training and supervision of building staff. We prepare and constantly review job descriptions and work schedules. Through our reputation and many business contacts, we are able to staff the properties we manage with competent personnel.
Providing controlled income management.
We provide for the collection of all income generated by the property. Additional forms of income are researched and presented to owners for consideration, such as phone service, vending machines and guest laundry services.
