These reports are accompanied by comparative reports of monthly financials to a pre-approved budget, and delinquent tenant account status reports, if applicable. At year-end, these same reports shall be prepared detailing year-end balances.

Ogden & Company will prepare and submit for approval a preliminary annual budget for your property for the upcoming year. Additionally, long-term budgets indicating upcoming capital expenditures can be created. These budgets can be prepared in any format desired. Leadership at Ogden & Company strongly believes in the budgeting process both in terms of understanding the goals and objectives of the owner and providing a clear and concise “road map” for the daily, monthly, and annual operations of the property. Readable statements, provided on a monthly basis, are created through Yardi Voyager Property Management and ACS Software. Capital investment needs are analyzed by Ogden & Company staff, recommended as necessary and agreed to in the budgeting process. Non-budgetary and capital expenditures will be subject to prior consent.

Customer satisfaction relies on effective communication. Our management teams are fully engrossed in the relationship that exists with the client as it pertains to the complexities and decisions that apply to their property. This interactive involvement results in a level of intuitiveness for Ogden property managers. Our property managers are trained to actively listen to all with whom they interact to better understand client and tenant needs and the reaction to the services provided. The first line of communication exists between the property owner or client and the property manager who is trained to be sensitive to the needs of his or her clients. Customer satisfaction is the most important key to our business.

In the event such efforts fail, the account will be referred to the proper collection agency or an attorney for the legal eviction process.

Records

These records shall be properly stored in an organized manner for immediate retrieval at any time. Documents are available for review any time during normal business hours.

Negotiation on and competition for all service contracts insure top quality services and materials at the most favorable cost. All operational services to your property will be performed by independent contractors with the exception of on-site staff where applicable. For outside-contracted services, at the inception of each contract Ogden & Company undertakes, we shall review and analyze all existing contracts, including landscaping, snow removal, refuse removal/recycling, insurance providers, and janitorial services, among others. Applicable contracts are open for bid with both existing contractors and additional outside service providers if warranted, always with an understanding of the obligation to honor current service contacts.

Utilizing professional management services will generate cost savings in the overall operation of the property through competitive bidding on contracted services and periodic maintenance, bulk purchasing of supplies and services, preventative maintenance, proactive inspections and budgeting. Additional areas, which may not be as easily recognizable but which may procreate savings include insurance premium bidding and negotiation, utility audits and retrofitting for energy savings.

Stocked Inventory Control
A specific area of our management program, which can be implemented in the management contract, is a complete inventory of all paper products, replacement light fixtures, maintenance supplies and equipment of a property. These supplies can be entered into a computerized inventory control program that will reflect the use of all stock items by cleaning and/or maintenance personnel and provide advance notice of replenishment needs. In addition, by utilizing this service through your Property Manager, large savings can result from purchasing in bulk and comparing price on large quantities of supplies.

The extensive experience held by Ogden & Company staff and management assures competent analysis of all physical areas at the property and the proper preventative maintenance and repair to all HVAC, electrical, plumbing, roofing, and additional equipment. Ogden property management and maintenance staff understands the need for cleanliness and aesthetic appeal as it relates to the satisfaction and safety of customers, clients, and personnel. Utilizing manufacturer specifications, routine inspection checklists will be customized and completed during regular inspections of each site. Preventative maintenance will be determined, scheduled in advance and completed on a routine basis. Periodic evaluations will be conducted of all physical areas to critique cleanliness, state of repairs, aesthetic appeal and the costs associated with their preservation. Reports will be compiled on HVAC and mechanical equipment, including electrical and plumbing systems so that Ogden might offer suggestions for consideration and incorporating into operating budgets. Recorded documentation indicating regular testing of emergency fire alarms, sprinkler systems and other building safety equipment will be maintained and provided to insurance carriers, thereby reducing annual premiums. Life safety procedures will be developed by way of evacuation plans to be distributed and/or mounted for employee and customer safety. Issues such as ADA, asbestos control, lead abatement, environmental, liability and life safety will be observed for the property by the appropriate professional under Ogden & Company supervision. Ogden & Company staff and management believes in maintaining our position at the leading edge of the maintenance and management trade through continuing education as it applies to our specific accounts. This education will keep your property manager and service technicians abreast of changing legislation and advancing technologies to enhance the property.

Very important to tenants and owners is the transition to a new management company. Ogden & Company is dedicated to making this a smooth transition. Complete audits of financial data, lease information, service contracts and building information will be reviewed, tenants and vendors personally notified, and complete property inspections conducted. Tours of the building will occur with all applicable personnel and emergency response teams. During this time, close communications will be maintained with owners to fully understand and verify goals and objectives.
