Lease Administration
A lease means more than simply securing the space where you do business. For most companies, real estate represents the second-largest expense after personnel. Whether your company operates in one location or hundreds, we take the time to understand your concerns for cost, stability, and flexibility. Our services include lease abstractions and database management, monthly rent verification and payment schedules, lease audits, and equipment lease management. Colliers’ lease administration drives significant savings for our clients, saves time each month through the automation of rent payments from databases to accounts payable, and ensures you’ll never miss a critical lease date.
• Database selection and construction • Lease abstractions and database management • Monthly rent verification and payment schedules • Lease audits • Transaction project tracking
Geographic information systems (gis)
Colliers’ approach to facilities management is unique in our industry. We have identified the subtle drivers that enable us to manage property at a higher standard and maximize asset value. While most firms just quantify asset value on a balance sheet, we take into account factors such as tenant loyalty, the relationship and regular contact between managers and tenants, top tenant service requests, and new opportunities for mutually beneficial tenant collaboration. These factors are proven to add asset value over time by reducing turnover and operational costs, and improving a building’s reputation in the market.
