Management Philosophy

ContraVest Management Company believes that there are many variables that impact the long-term success of a multi-family investment. These factors include market conditions, on-site staff leadership and decision-making, resident satisfaction, and corporate level interaction.

ContraVest does not leave on-site management or operational details to chance, but instead promotes a hands-on management approach to ensure success. We hire the best people, offer them training and guidance and foster loyalty and commitment that in turn results in the "ownership" of tasks. We encourage employees to enjoy themselves at work, because we believe such enjoyment cultivates creativity and productivity.

We are committed to providing unsurpassed service to our clients and residents. Each property under our management benefits from our many years of industry specific experience and our clear understanding of how to operate multi-family assets.

We continually strive to accomplish our mission of maximizing the economic value of our client's apartment portfolio through excellence in leasing, rent collection, property administration and increasing NOI.

We listen to both our clients' goals and our residents' desires, and then balance the two in a mutually rewarding experience that has proven to be successful since our inception.

Our corporate structure is designed to facilitate effective decision-making by those responsible for asset operations by promoting hands-on management and clear, continuous communication between the Regional Manager and the on-site staff.

We believe that all basic operations - marketing, leasing, resident service and maintenance - must be fundamentally sound. Only then can they facilitate revenue growth, expense control and ultimately the enhancement of the asset's value. Our corporate office serves as a support office for administrative assistance, training, marketing guidance, accounting expertise, safety/risk management and human resources, and is designed to facilitate and streamline the management at every level. This policy frees Regional management and on-site staff personnel to focus on the fundamentals of effective property management and enhances the overall quality of services provided to clients and the residents.
