Management

You can improve the profitability of almost any piece of real estate. When seriously pursued, though, this necessitates custom concepts, and targets set for each property. In the course of managing its own housing portfolio, alt+kelber has gathered experience in just this area. This leaves us better prepared than most to take care of the strategic planning necessary to increase the property value. Naturally, we also know how to implement this strategy.

alt+kelber develops concepts for its clients - specifically for real estate funds - whose purpose is to optimise real estate value. We will check whether the modernisation of a given portfolio is actually worth it, or whether the customer is better off selling instead. Our staff will check, among other things, whether there is any rent-increase potential; what kind of modernisation would be required to lower vacancies; whether services, for instance in the administrative sector, would be cheaper if outsourced. Our staff will also coordinate and control external service providers.

Buying an attractive piece of real estate is one thing. Letting it is quite another, for only a well-let property will give you the security of an attractive long-term cash flow. Institutional investors, more than others, have a hard time after a given acquisition to eliminate vacancies or to keep the tenant fluctuation as low as possible in the first place. Moreover, someone needs to make sure that rents are paid on time and in the amount agreed, and that the tenant has the option to address grievances to a contact on the ground that will take care of things. These chores, which are essential for your long-term return on investment, alt+kelber will handle for you.

Today, we already have roughly 49,000 residential and commercial assets under management. We sign about 500 new leases a month at the moment, tendency rising. We maintain sales offices nationwide to ensure customised on-site management, including personal account managers. Our management teams are staffed with real estate agents, business administrators, tax experts, and engineers, and we are certified according to the latest DIN EN ISO 9001:2000 standard.

We will gladly take the overall management off your hands, be it an individual property or an entire housing portfolio. As your one-stop shop, we offer you any service that may be required to maintain the value of, or increase the value-add for, your property. Our coordinated handling of the necessary processes will help to lower management costs - sometimes substantially so. Your property's performance and return on investment are regularly optimised.
