WHAT IS ASSET MANAGEMENT?

Asset Management is the overseeing of Asset Service Providers, on behalf of an Owner/Investor, with the primary Goal of improving performance and profitability that leads to maximizing the Asset’s Value. Asset Service Providers comprise Property Managers, Leasing Agents, Hotel & Business Operators, and many others (contractors, brokers, lenders, lawyers, insurers, accountants, etc.).

By providing a highly personalized service, Lexis Advisors is able – through periodic visits to the investments and properties, daily telephone contact and other proprietary monitoring systems – to maximize assets’ revenues, optimize expenses, boost net cash flow and, as a result, cause a rise in assets’ values.

Unlike many large institutions, Lexis’ extensive knowledge of the Real Estate Industry Operations, its turn around expertise, and its close and continuous monitoring of how the Assets are being managed, constitute the basis of its success.

Common Complaints of Foreign Investors

Lexis Advisors’ research indicates that a significant number of Foreign Investors owning Real Estate, Hospitality and other Operating Businesses located in Distant Countries are quite dissatisfied with the handling and performance of their assets by the currently assigned Asset Managers. These Investors often wish for things to be done differently but feel paralyzed to act.

Below is a sample of their typical voiced complaints:

• “My asset portfolio/ properties are not given the proper attention from the on-site management company and leasing agents. Due to their large operation and the small size of my portfolio, their actions always reflect a non-caring attitude. As a result, vacancies are hurting the cash flow and leading to a continuous decline in the value of my assets.”
• “Operators continuously ask me for cash infusions always catching me by surprise. I wish they would stick to their forecasts and budgets.”
• “Operators’ knowledge in running my real estate asset seems to be lacking. I believe we should do much better than that. All I keep hearing is a bunch of excuses about the market conditions. I have no way of verifying whether they are true or not. It is very frustrating.”
• “Although we have an office inside our company handling the asset management function, it is costing us a lot. There are many employees in the office and we are not sure they have the right expertise to benefit us and increase our asset values. I wish someone else, or another organization, more efficient and more knowledgeable could take over.”
• “For some reason, I find myself questioning the honesty of the operators handling our project, all the time.”
• “Too many issues to deal with, between legal matters, tax filings, insurance, re-financing, it is overwhelming. I wish I can pass on these headaches to someone qualified and honest.”

Because of the physical distance separating the Owner and the Asset, the Foreign Owners feel paralyzed and unable to act decisively to remedy the situation.

It is in these exact situations that Lexis Advisors can be extremely helpful by assuming the Asset Management function and ensuring a smooth and orderly transition with the current Provider.
