17. How can you ensure the best returns from our property and
what else can you do that another property manager can’t?

No aspect of Real Estate investment is more important than the professional
supervision a property receives after it’s placed in our hands. Without strong
management to optimize the value and return of an investment portfolio, even the
most promising asset will fail to meet the expectations of its owner. Maximizing the
potential of an investment property through skilled management is an expertise we
have developed over more than 20 years of managing properties.

Our experience with company-owned properties has given us an enlightened
perspective towards Property Management. We regularly analyse the operating
performance of comparable properties. We appreciate the importance of providing
for, and adhering to, ongoing property maintenance and improvement programs to
avoid the costly capital expenditures that inevitably result from deferred
maintenance or obsolescence. We also have a keen understanding of the financial
benefits derived from minimizing costly tenant turnover, which is often the
consequence of allowing building services to fall below tenant expectations. Our
Tenant Retention Program is proactive, and its results underscore the effectiveness of
our approach.

The professional supervision provided by Peter Taranto Real Estate includes all the
services needed over the course of an investment. We have a full staff of Property
Managers who, together with our management staff, furnish the comprehensivebudg-
ets and financial statements that owners and managers use for planning,
controlling and judging the performance of a property.
