The program is tailored to the client’s investment objectives through a step-by-step process that replaces the unknown with the highest probability of improving your investment position.
Strategic Planning and Multifamily Consulting
Matthews™ agents offer excellent strategic planning and multifamily consulting for all clientele. The agents are trained to evaluate a property’s value through the integration of market research, due diligence, and the Definitive Guide to Market rents. In other cases, agents create site-specific strategies and recommendations through customized market analysis and redevelopment, reuse, or repositioning strategies. Agents set clear goals and asses their performance through portfolio valuation and strict benchmarking. Matthews™ also emphasizes market shares and multifamily demand forecasting, which are essential when devising a concrete strategic plan.
Landlord Advisory
Regarding landlord representation, Matthews™ agents are taught several property management skillsets. Matthews™ agents help to implement a comprehensive overview of your property by analyzing rent and other income received, maintenance and repairs, changes in the market or neighborhood, and updates on legislature set to impact multifamily. Ultimately, Matthews™ agents help you and your property for long-term success.
Matthews™ agents connect multifamily owners with plumbers, CPAs, contractors, city officials, and more. In one case, Matthews™ agents connected an owner with a certain contractor to help unlock $500k of value to implement kitchen renovations; this led to a significant increase in NOI. This establishes the precedent that Matthews™ agents are ready to help owners, investors, and buyers get the most out of their money and time in every deal.
RUBs Program Implementation
Matthews™ utilizes a Ratio Utility Billing System (RUB) at their investor’s properties. A RUB program is another method for calculating monthly utility bills. The entire cost of a multifamily utility bill, including electricity, gas, water, garbage collection, sewage, and waste management, is distributed among individual tenants using RUBs. Implementing this program has led to several positives, including improved revenues, reduced capital costs, forced appreciation, and it is environmentally friendly.
How to Prepare Your Multifamily Property for Sale?
Although selling a multifamily building is significantly more complicated than selling other assets, the goal is still to maximize value. Minimizing leverage during the sale process will play a significant role in preventing price renegotiation. Increasing curb appeal, doing your research, addressing deferred maintenance, having a clear and marketable title, reviewing your books and records, creating a plan for your proceeds, and finally, having adequate preparation for onsite management are some additional ways to prepare your multifamily property for sale and achieve the maximum value for the asset.
