For Property Owners: A Growing Concern
Imagine you’re a commercial property owner with a portfolio of well-located assets. You’ve trusted a management company to handle the day-to-day operations, believing that your property is in good hands. You see the gross numbers on the reports, rent flowing in, CAM expenses being covered, and the management fees paid—but there’s an itch in the back of your mind. Is everything working in your best interest?
You notice that your base rent—the key driver of property value and long-term growth—seems stagnant. Meanwhile, CAM costs are slowly creeping upward. And as the financial environment gets tighter, with interest rates and inflation causing turbulence, it’s becoming harder to justify why those operational costs are rising. You start to wonder: Are my management company’s interests truly aligned with mine?
You’re not wrong to worry. In today’s market, property management companies often operate on a model where their fees are tied to gross rent or CAM, leaving less focus on maximizing base rent—the foundation of your long-term returns. The more they inflate CAM, the more they secure their own operational budget, leaving you to carry the burden of lower overall profitability.
But there’s a way to fix this.

For Property Management Companies: Navigating Complex Challenges
You’re a property management company, and the pressures are mounting. Inflation is squeezing operational budgets, tenants are more price-sensitive, and vacancy rates are creeping up. At the same time, your property owners are calling with one demand after another: “Cut costs! Show us where our money is going!” It’s hard to manage expectations while juggling the realities of running properties efficiently.
You pride yourself on delivering high-quality service, but the truth is that owners are increasingly focused on the transparency of expenses—particularly CAM—and how their money is being used.
