Planning, executing, and managing effective portfolio management and optimization is a specialty of Community First Commercial Real Estate. We ensure clients are informed of key dates, rent payments, and important market-specific data to free-up companies to focus on key areas of business. Meanwhile, Community First Commercial Real Estate ensures their business plans are continually in alignment with real estate objectives portfolio-wide.


Situation Analysis

Because each company handles its leased and owned facilities management differently, we conduct an analysis of each company’s portfolio administration process, looking for ways to streamline the administration process, and cut costs. This includes:

• Conducting a comprehensive valuation of all owned and leased properties within real estate portfolios
  
• Identifying existing information resources and gaps
  
• Assessing existing processes for harvesting and translating key data

Harnessing the power of information is key to effective portfolio administration and management. This is why Community First Commercial Real Estate helps our clients collect information and documents to make informed, proactive real estate decisions. We work with our clients to:

• Migrate existing key data to a centralized database and identify missing components
  
• Gather and store existing files for inventory control purposes
  
• Collect key market information for benchmarking purposes on a regular basis

As an outsourced partner, Community First Commercial Real Estate focuses on creating efficiencies and savings within portfolios. Our advisory/ optimization process includes:

• Proactive advisory on leased properties more than two years away from expiration
• Focused advisory on leased properties less than two years away from expiration
  
• Streamlining predictive and non-predictive tasks
  
• Conducting a quick-strike cost savings analysis across the entire portfolio, regardless of expiration (typical realized savings are 15-25%)

Quick-strike Savings

A cornerstone of our proactive optimization services, we look for creative ways to cut costs across real estate portfolios by leveraging our quick-strike savings program. We do not charge a fee for our quick-strike program; fees are paid by the Landlord upon completion of each transaction. With immediate savings of 15-25% across the board in mind, we:

• Assess real estate obligations
• Leverage local market resources
  
• Analyze savings opportunities in each market
  
• Uncover total savings potential
  
• Strategize with our clients to align savings with internal objectives
  
• Execute quick-strike savings plan of action
  
• Manage new property commitments and integrate information into central database
