The highest standards
The most satisfied clients

Wondering what it’s really like to work with Professional Equities, Inc.? Listen to what a few of our clients have to say…

PEI increased the value of our portfolio

Professional Equities has significantly reduced the requirements of my management team here in Los Angeles and made the investment in our St. Louis portfolio more profitable. Now we’re able to focus on some of our other projects. I highly recommend Professional Equities, Inc.

Paul Jennings,
Owner, Jersey Jennings, LLC.

Our occupancy increased week after week

We were experiencing 60-120 days of vacancy loss with our prior firm. Then we hired Professional Equities, Inc. to manage our portfolio. Our occupancy has increased week after week and our average vacancy time is under 30 days now. It was the best decision we could have made.

Elizabeth Goldman,
Executive Vice President, Jersey Jennings, LLC.

Satisfied tenants and Increased financial health

The appearance of our community, the satisfaction of our tenants, and the increasing financial health of our community speak for the quality, professionalism, and expertise of Professional Equities, Inc.

Larry Purley,
Board of Directors, Peace Villa, Inc.

Exceptionally well maintained

PEI has managed our properties exceptionally well, maintaining them within budget and according to federal guidelines. As their name implies, they are a professional (and ethical) organization. It’s been a pleasure to work with them, and I’d recommend them to anyone.

Rev. John S. Morton,
President GPVA Accessible Housing Board for Gateway 1 & 2

What is your fee to manage my property?

Property management fees may vary depending on the type of property, location, number of units, condition, and occupancy. We will be happy to review your property and provide a proposal that will outline all services and fees associated with the management of your property. Typically, the larger the property the lower the management fee. Management fees range between 4% and 10%. The management fee percentage is based on gross receipts collected each month. Therefore, our fee is aligned with collection of rent.

What type of properties will you manage?

Our focus is management of multifamily communities and self-storage facilities. We are selective in the properties we manage. We want to make sure we are good fit for the client based on the client’s goals and objectives. We will consider multifamily communities with a minimum of 25 units. We can manage communities anywhere between 25-750+ units. We will manage self-storage facilities with a minimum of 150 units or more. We do not manage individual single-family rentals.

How do you handle evictions?

Evictions are a pretty big topic, so we’ve written a blog post about it. Click here to read it.

Why should I choose your company instead of another?

We are rental property owners just like you and we care about your investment like it’s one of ours!
We have owned and managed rental properties since 1969. Our commitment to you is to manage your rental property with the same level of care, skill, and professionalism as we do our owned properties. We have an executive Certified Property Manager (CPM®) who leads the operations. Every property manager that manages our properties receives the Certified Apartment Manager (CAM) designation. Our firm is and has been a long time Accredited Management Organization (AMO®) through the Institute of Real Estate Management.

We license with Yardi and utilize their Yardi Voyager property management system including Rent Café. Our accounting and financial reporting is robust, timely, and accurate. Our residents and prospective residents have the option to lease an apartment, renew their lease, pay rent, request maintenance, and communicate with us online 24/7. Many of our prospective residents lease online then will visit the property to tour their actual apartment after approval. Our e-document system allows residents to e-sign their lease and other documents and those documents are automatically stored on our system.

We communicate with you when it is necessary and we are available to you when you need to communicate with us. We have a fiduciary responsibility to our clients that we take very seriously. Not only will we fulfill our responsibility to you, we will work closely with you to ensure we understand your goals and objectives then develop a plan to meet those goals. Communication is key to effective property management, so there must be open lines of communication with our client.

We can handle all facets of property management. As the property owner, you may relax and just provide oversight. We will take care of everything.

Who answers the emergency phone calls at 3 a.m.?

That’s easy! Not you! We answer the 3 a.m. calls. Our property managers are on-call for emergencies 24/7. We also offer 24/7 emergency maintenance. If a resident has a true maintenance emergency they may call our toll free emergency maintenance hotline and within moments will be connected to the maintenance technician on-call for the property. The maintenance technician will address the emergency in accordance with our policy.

What level of reporting will I receive and when will I receive it?

Our financial and property reporting is robust so we will discuss with you which reports are available to you and you will let us know what level of reporting you want. Usually, we send reports to our clients on a monthly basis by the 15th of the following month. We need time to reconcile bank statements and complete general ledger adjustments. Reports are emailed to our clients along with a brief operational summary.
