PROPERTY MANAGEMENT - Cleveland | Lee & Associates

We provide commercial management services for a variety of property types.  Whether your building provides a home to your company or is part of an investment portfolio, a poorly managed building will make even the most promising asset fail to meet owner expectations.  Lee Cleveland Property Management will help your property live up to its full potential.
 
Lee Cleveland Property Management’s team has first-hand experience with the issues and opportunities in commercial properties. We understand the economic environment and are well-equipped to maintain and enhance the value of each property we manage.  Client satisfaction, tenant retention and safety are top priorities.
 
Procuring tenants and maintaining their satisfaction are the foundation of a successful building. Our specialty is managing your commercial assets to maximize bottom line profits, keep tenants, and minimize your investment risk.
 
Whether your property is Class "A" or Class "C", large or small, we can handle it. We recognize that different types of properties need to be managed in different ways.  Each commercial property can and should be managed in a way that maximizes the properties potential, holds to the owner's standard in terms of care and maintenance, and gets the appropriate attention in all aspects of property management including billing, maintenance, tenant negotiations, vendor relations, security, collections, follow-up and service. 
 
We welcome the opportunity to become your Cleveland Commercial Property Management Company.  Please feel free to contact us today with any real estate requirements, questions or comments.

Our Services Include:

ASSESSMENT
  • At the onset of any assignment, Lee Cleveland Property Management will assess the property and determine and identify which maintenance issues need to be addressed immediately and which maintenance issues can be dealt with over time.

  • After the property has been assessed and different immediate and long term maintenance issues have been identified, we will create a long term maintenance plan for the property. The Owner and Manager will create a clear understanding of what near and long term management issues the property may have and budget/plan for solutions to be implemented. By budgeting for these issues, the asset will be well positioned to retain its value.
