Below we offer several reasons to consider Epoch Management as your
property management company, as well as our guarantee to you. |
Company Orientation
Epoch Management, Inc. was formed in 1973 because an owner was unable to find a management
company that provided information that owners need to see, rather than what
management companies chose to provide.
Reporting System
Epoch has a "no nonsense" approach to presenting complete
financial and operational data in a format that every employee, from on-site,
all the way up to the most discerning analyst, can easily understand and
evaluate for possible improvement. Because poor and/or substandard performance
is prominently displayed (as well as superior performance), employees
very quickly become aware of what is important and how they are being
evaluated.
Supervisory Experience
Epoch's core of eight seasoned professionals, many times labeled
"perfectionists," average over 16 years of experience in the multifamily
business. Unlike employees of some large management companies who work mainly for one
major client, Epoch employees have had the opportunity to work with over 75 different
clients from all over the world during the past 25 years. We like to say that we've been
able to take the best from the best and even improve it a little more!
Supervisory Requirements
Epoch's decision to promote an employee to supervisory level is based
only on the employee's personal "track record." Members of Epoch's
supervisory staff achieve this position only after proving superior management
ability and expertise on-site at other Epoch managed properties. This
policy not only assures that the supervisor has a hands-on, working knowledge
at the site level and knows how to get results, but also provides considerable
incentive for site employees to excel.
Supervisory Incentive
Epoch's supervisory staff is financially motivated to maximize the income
of a project by raising rents, decreasing vacancy, reducing turnover,
and minimizing collection loss, since their compensation is based upon
the income collected from the project.
Broader Local Bases
Real estate is a very localized business. Epoch's involvement with other
clients/owners/properties enables a more in-depth, insight as to what
is really happening in the local markets, as well as broader access to
creative ideas and methods. Epoch's portfolio gives the "strength
in numbers" clout necessary for effective market control and competition.
Team Concept
The progress of each property in Epoch's portfolio is monitored not only by all of the
Epoch supervisors on a weekly basis, but also by a team led by each supervisor. This
assures an ongoing flow of ideas, suggestions and monitoring for each property, as well as
someone else for the asset manager/owner to talk with should the supervisor be temporarily
unavailable.
Total Independence
Epoch Management has no ownership in any real estate or any other company such as
insurance agencies, lawn maintenance companies, maintenance services, etc. or any assets
other than those necessary to conduct its management business. Therefore, there are no
possible sources of negative cash flow to drain upon management fee income, thereby
potentially compromising services to clients. There is no potential for any conflict of
interest with Epoch's clients.
Motivation
Epoch focuses upon results. We look for above-average clients with above-average projects.
We want our clients to make a successful, positive impact on the local real estate market.
We like to feel that we play a part in this achievement.
