Additional duties include supervision of janitorial services, scheduling routine maintenance, rent collections, payment of property taxes & insurance, leasing activities, tenant responses/complaints, and public relations for the property.

We at Katchen and Company feel that a property manager is also responsible for the development of the property's budget and collects statistical data helpful in assessing the property's performance.

In the role of asset managers, portfolio managers are responsible for property acquisition proposals, performance projections, determining future rehab opportunities, selection and supervision of on-site managers, lease approval, and operating budgets. They also provide management information to owners, review expansion opportunities, analyze national financial market conditions, evaluate sales, joint ventures, buy-outs, and prepare long term capital budgets.

The role of facility manager requires our portfolio managers to be responsible for the overall facility operations and maintenance within budget. This responsibility includes implementing facility expansion, contraction, and renovation plans. The role of leasing manager requires our portfolio managers to be responsible for leasing vacant space, locating prospective tenants, negotiating leases and the preparation of marketing presentations.

Portfolio managers are required to implement a preventative maintenance program and still stay within an expense budget.
