Services Overview

Our scope of management services offered to residential properties ranges from traditional financial management to personalized “concierge” type services such as stocking the refrigerator or tending to the plants of a traveling homeowner.    By individually designing the contract for each property tailored to the specific service and budgetary requirements of each property owner, AMI brings an unparalleled level of property management value to the residential real estate market.

• We strive for superior communications through sophisticated technology and software, ensuring rapid response.  Our automated systems have the capability of forwarding emergency calls to the appropriate responder 24/7 and all of our people have remote access to voicemail, e-mail and incoming faxes.
• We provide regular inspections to assess and analyze each property's physical integrity and appearance.   The condition of the physical real estate directly affects the values that can be commanded by the asset.  Our regular inspections are designed to ensure the value of the property in relationship with the general market is preserved by keeping the property in its optimal condition.
• We have implemented a fully computerized Work Order System that guarantees follow-up.  This system allows us to evaluate not only the individual costs involved with the upkeep of the property but also the frequency of the work required and the response times that we provide for each situation.   We track each work order so that we can analyze and effectively report on trends.
• We negotiate services with sub-contractors, ensuring prompt and cost-effective repairs and maintenance.  For the most common repairs we have negotiated “preferred” client agreements with contractors that guarantee response times and assure that 24/7 service is available for all our properties.
• Our Financial Management services include collecting rents and administering all expense payments.  We provide monthly financial reporting in electronic format, through the most sophisticated software in the industry, and we compile year-end accounting records for tax purposes.
• If applicable we negotiate both new leases and the renewal of existing leases on behalf of our clients.   With the work that we do through our real estate brokerage company, Properties by Allen, we have access to all of the market data required.
• Our property managers are evaluated based on performance criteria set by the needs of each client they work with.  They are expected to handle all tenant relations and property issues quickly, and to facilitate 24-hour emergency response.
