MARKETING YOUR PROPERTY

Multimedia marketing of your property is a standard at PPG Properties. In addition to advertising in more traditional ways, such as the local newspaper, we also use multiple low or no cost resources.

While advertising costs are paid for by the property owner, our offices would be happy to create a unique ad for your property or assist you by making suggestions or recommendations for your own advertising. By placing our contact information in the ad, you can be sure all calls will be received by our friendly office staff and questions will be answered.

ON SITE EVALUATIONS & INSPECTIONS

A member of PPG Properties’s knowledgeable staff will meet you at your property to do a free, on site rental evaluation. Providing you with an assessment of what you can expect in rent for your property. While viewing the property, we will happily provide suggestions about how you might improve the marketability of the property or increase its rental value. Our management agents will also answer questions and address any concerns with you or your tenants so as to provide a smooth transition for the both of you.

If you already have a tenant occupying your shopping center, offices, industrial, apartment building, townhouses, condo, we will make in house inspections to verify condition of the unit, look for lease violations and spot needed or potential repairs. Inspections are typically scheduled for every 6 months to 1 year, but more frequent inspections can be scheduled, at your request, with no additional cost to you.

Having our offices drive past your properties on a regular basis will also help to set your mind at ease. Should problems or violations be noticed we will act immediately by placing a violation tag on the door / unit and scheduling a follow up to ensure items of note were remedied.

Attached to every monthly statement will be any bills that were paid by our offices for your records.

Our statements will make it a snap for you to walk into your tax preparers office with a comprehensive view of all income and expenses.

COLLECTIONS

Sometimes upon move out, a tenant may owe more money than was collected on their security deposit. Or after a judgment has been entered in an eviction, money still needs to be collected. Where do you go then?

PPG Properties can help you with this as well. Rather than send you off to a collections company or other attorneys, we can file and maintain a small claims action on your behalf and then proceed with collection efforts. The cost of collections efforts is 25 % of the amount that is recovered.

EVICTIONS

Occasionally, a situation arises when a tenant will need to be evicted from the premises. Should you wish, PPG Management’s  in house attorneys will assist in your eviction efforts. In the event that our offices have approved and placed your tenant in the space for you, we will represent you in any uncontested eviction for no additional charge or attorneys fees, you pay only the out of pocket costs.

If we start to manage your property after you have placed a tenant and then find there is a problem, our attorneys will be able to represent you at discounted cost.

Court appearances can be a lot of hard work, costly and worrisome if you don’t have the proper representation. If you have ever had the misfortune to deal with a problem tenant, then you completely understand how valuable having a knowledgeable attorney on your side really is.
