Welcome to Certain Property Management, a third party property management firm focused on the multi-family industry in Louisiana and Mississippi. CPM provides full service management for apartment and condominium associations, including leasing, maintenance and financial management services.
We understand that nothing impacts the health, viability and occupancy of a property more than the way it is managed and maintained. It is our belief that professional property management is one of the most important decisions an owner can make.
Apartment/Multi-Family Management Philosophy
Our primary responsibility to property owners is to attract and to keep tenants long term while improving asset value. We do this by helping the property stay current with competitive market rates. We make sure that all of our properties are well maintained and provide superior responsiveness to tenant needs.
Our Strategic Management Approach
Our approach to maximizing the success of a project and the return on investment includes the following:
Evaluation
- Understand owner's objectives as well as concerns.
- Identify any safety or liability issues of the physical assets.
- Assess the property's financial condition (budgets, financial statements, and tenant collections).
Action Plan
- Create a customized management plan that is affordable, realistic, and achievable.
- Survey any safety, security or liability issues and address immediate concerns.
- Review all service vendor contracts and put appropriate contracts out to bid.
Implementation
- Aggressively market vacant spaces.
- Begin owner-approved maintenance, repair and/or improvement work.
- Control operating expenses while maintaining service levels.
