YOUR ASSET MANAGER

Our asset managers are responsible for daily operations and maintenance. The manager visits the property at least weekly and is the conduit between the board and residents. The manager meets with the superintendent/resident manager to discuss staff schedules, performance and efficiency, review resident issues and assess the physical plant. In addition, the manager monitors contracts and the performance of vendors and interfaces with attorneys, contractors and vendors.

STEPS TO A SUCCESSFUL TRANSITION


Our Strategic Management program facilitates the transition process and helps us move quickly when we officially start.

As we transition your account into our portfolio, we are cognizant that every issue must be incorporated into management files for your property. We conduct a comprehensive property evaluation to identify the strengths and weaknesses of your property and create a customized plan including short term and long-term needs. Our asset manager and the board review the objectives and set priorities. Periodic reviews are conducted to evaluate the progress and success of these initiatives and alternate methods are considered when necessary.

FINANCIAL SERVICES

Effective management requires professionals who control expenses while maintaining your property in the best physical condition commensurate with your long-term investment policies.

Our managers know the entire financial picture of a property and can provide prompt responses for information about a myriad of issues. We start each management assignment with a comprehensive financial analysis of your property; once completed, specific goals are set. Senior-level financial specialists review billings and payments providing another level of scrutiny.


Monthly Financial Reports

Our reports are clear, comprehensive and on-time. Our reports include:a statement of collections and disbursements, copies of paid bill, a list of payables, the status of shareholder/unit owner accounts, a payroll register, a cash journal and comparison of current and year-to-date expenditures with the budget.
