Commercial

Management services

Today, property managers must have the knowledge, communication skills, and technical expertise needed to be dynamic decision makers. They may be called on to act as market analysts, advertising executives, salespeople, accountants, diplomats or even maintenance engineers. Interpersonal skills are needed to deal effectively with owners, prospects, tenants, employees, outside contractors, and others in the real estate business. From John Carson to Jerry Ramshaw, Ramshaw's commercial management team is one of the most qualified property management groups in downstate Illinois, bringing expertise in each of these areas:

Planning & budgeting
Advertising
Tenant screening
Negotiating leases
Collecting rent
Preparing and supervising capital projects
Maintaining the premises
Supervising security
Bidding and oversight of vendor services
Keeping accurate records
Making periodic reports to the property owner
Provide sales and leasing brokerage services as needed
Asset recovery

Ramshaw believes a property management team's goals are:

To achieve the owner's objectives;
To generate income for the owners; and
To preserve the property's value.

In other words, Ramshaw attempts to generate the greatest possible net income for the owners of an investment property over that property's useful life. It is a common misconception that a property manager need only collect rents, show available space, and execute leases. In reality, the property manager's job is far more demanding and takes a high level of knowledge and experience. Ramshaw's team can bring these qualities to your property.
