Property Management

In concert with the property owner’s guidelines, provide results-oriented, professional real estate management services designed to enhance the value of the owner’s investment.

Our Management Objective

We have developed this objective through our experience in managing and developing commercial real estate for our clients and for our own portfolio. Our philosophy is to manage the property as if it was our own, with the same attention and care to detail. We have been practicing this philosophy since our founding.

Properties are managed for individual investors, joint ventures, partnerships, financial institutions, and other investment entities.

Our Approach to Property Management

The Property Manager serves as the coordinator between the ownership, tenants, contractors, and Taylor Building Investors staff. The property manager directs the day-to-day management of the asset and is responsible for anticipating and responding to the needs of the property and its tenants.

On any given project, the property manager is a visible representative of the ownership to the tenants and to the public. The property manager communicates regularly with the owner’s representative regarding property operations. They are also in charge of regularly reviewing the financial reporting information for the property.

In short, the property manager takes full responsibility for the operation and condition of the property. They have the added benefit of experience with and knowledge of the Taylor Building Investors management team and support staff to aid the execution of his duties. The activities of the property managers are reviewed on a regular basis by the Partner-in-Charge. In addition, the property operations will be audited on a regular basis, including regular inspection visits by the Partner-in-Charge, Timothy Taylor.

This directed team approach supports the assigned property manager in providing professional services to you, your tenants, and your investment.

In today’s current economic environment, several development companies have withdrawn from the market as developers and have started focusing on managing their existing portfolios. Due to the cost of maintaining offices in several cities where these projects are located, their firms are looking for local representatives, while a portion of the management duties is carried out from their home offices. This situation has held true for syndication companies and several investors with large portfolios.

For those owners that desire to collect their own rents, or perform other limited management activities, Taylor Building Investors can provide facility management services tailored to their own specific needs.

Our Relations with Suppliers, Contractors, & Vendors

Our long-term involvement with Sacramento-area property management has provided Taylor Building Investors with valuable experience and contacts with vendors—utilized to provide services for managed properties.

The need for particular vendor/supplier services is determined by the property operating plan and property budget. Competitive bids for services are obtained as appropriate. Each prospective vendor is reviewed for proper licensing, liability insurance, and Worker’s Compensation coverage. In order to control property expenses, a purchase/work order system is utilized by our staff.

Property expenses are incurred on behalf of the property and paid through the property trust account. All discounts for services are applied to the benefit of the property account.

Our Client Reporting System

To provide our clients with complete and accurate accounting of all property income and operating expenses, Taylor Building Investors has installed an in-house computerized real estate management accounting system. This system provides reliable information to you and to the property manager responsible for the management of your property.

Our monthly client reporting includes an operating statement summarizing all account transactions, including tenant collections, property expenses, insurance, and loan payments.

Management Fee

The responsibilities of day-to-day management on a contract basis require that the owner and the management firm understand their mutual obligations and expectations of services to be provided. Professional real estate management by Taylor Building Investors provides our clients with the knowledge that their goals and objectives are utilized to maximize the operation and long-term value of their real estate investment, in concert with sound management techniques.

A fee representing a percentage of monthly property income provides a service with both current and long-term benefits to the client. The management fee is determined based on the size of the property and the intensity of management required. The actual fee would be determined after further discussion regarding the property and its operations and prior to the signing of a management agreement for the property.

We propose that our services be contracted for a one (1) year minimum term. The agreement would be renewed on a revolving basis subsequent to the initial term, allowing for cancellation on thirty (30) days notice, after the initial term, or for cause, based on the terms of the Management Agreement.

The services of the assigned property manager, Taylor Building Investors support, accounting, and executive staff are included in our management fee. Routine accounting, mailing, and copying services incidental to the property are also included. Special projects will entail supplemental fees to be negotiated prior to the commencement of the project.
