Key components to our commercial property management and other services, which makes WFL superior to its competitors.
Philosophy
WFL ensures a hands-on, pro-active approach in managing our properties, which creates an advantage over our competitors. We are always in tune with the needs of both the property and its tenants.
WFL takes complete pride and enthusiasm in the properties we manage. We ensure that our building teams share our philosophical values and work as team players in successfully managing your property.
Controlling Costs
WFL utilizes a vast portfolio of vendors who service Fairfield and Westchester Counties. This ensures that we receive competitive pricing on a continuous basis. We have over 40 properties under management so we have preferred pricing on almost any service you will need. Whether for utilities, plumbing, electrical, landscaping, elevator, and any other service required.
Daily property inspections ensure that sub-contractors are fulfilling those obligations outlined in the contract specifications. This is just one of many essential components of the hands-on commercial property management style that we promote. We do more preventative maintenance so we have less break downs and more satisfied tenants.
We on average save a property owner 20-25 % in operating costs due to “quantities of scale” buying power. Many owners are shocked when we submit an operating budget that spends less but enhances and improves services which cover our fee for managing. This comes from years of building the company and having the proper staff oversee every aspect of management.
WFL has their own maintenance team that are extremely talented to repair items like sheetrock, painting, carpentry and many other items that saves the property owner money and time. Our maintenance personnel drive WFL vans and wear WFL shirts to show the level of professionalism we promote.
Utility Savings and Green Energy Sources
Our vast portfolio of diverse properties enables us to package utility costs due to deregulation of these items to ensure that each property gets extensive savings. We have the ability to save up to 20- 25 % for any given property for gas, oil and electric.
WFL has extensive knowledge of solar, turbine and other new secondary energy sources. We have relationships with professionals who provide these services that can maximize rebates and government assistance for the implementation of these services. In most cases these enhancements will add value to the property and save energy usage at the same time.
We promote the usage of energy efficient light bulbs, LED fixtures, and motion sensors. WFL has in-depth knowledge of where to place sensors, timers and the most efficient wattage of florescent bulbs to fully increase savings in labor costs and energy.
Financial Reporting
Our financial reports are completed on the latest version of Yardi Property Management Software. With state of the art computer skills, we can tailor any report to suit the needs of your commercial property.
Our monthly reporting package is easy to follow and provides a complete analysis of the property’s activities during the period in question. It is guaranteed to be accurate, complete and submitted within the time frame allotted in the management agreement. The monthly report will have an income register, expense register, bank reconciliation and many other details to show how the income and expenses were derived in a given month. The reports are useful tools for your accountants and make their job easier.
Technology
We are extremely familiar with today’s technology such as BMS controls for HVAC systems, security devices, fire alarm systems and preventative maintenance tracking.
WFL utilizes only the most adaptive software to facilitate preventative maintenance, purchase orders, inventories and key holder listings.
WFL is a company equipped to change with industry standards to stay on the leading edge of the 21st century.
Education / Associations
WFL views education as a key essential trait of a successful commercial property service company. All of our property managers have earned college degrees and have many years of real estate experience.
We require our commercial property managers to be involved with leading commercial real estate associations through the BOMA, REFA and ACG local organizations. This ensures us complete professionalism and enhanced skills in dealing with today’s issues. We are always striving to be the best.
