LJ HOOKER COMMERCIAL MACARTHUR 017 How a Commercial Asset Manager can help secure your asset Any commercial property investment can benefit from a team-based approach. A commercial asset manager can help provide a framework to make the most of your investment, effectively assisting you and other advisors you’re working with to make informed decisions. To protect your investment, you need a team around you that will protect your legal and ongoing investment interests. A specialist commercial asset manager is integral to your team. They do much more than simply make sure rent is paid on time. They can help you source and keep tenants, advise you on market trends, explain how you can adapt your asset, ensure your asset remains compliant, and save you money by working with reputable and affordable contractors. Your commercial asset manager plays an integral role, specifically: • Working with the leasing manager to source a quality tenant; • Helping you negotiate lease terms; • Advising you on improvements or market trends that will add appeal to your investment; • Keeping on top of changing legislation and regulations so you remain compliant as a landlord; • Sourcing effective and competitively priced contractors. Beyond your asset manager, there are other advisors you must engage to ensure the value of your commercial property asset is protected. Such advisors can include: Accountant A CA/CPA accredited professional who can help you decide how to purchase the commercial property and address key questions such as whether you should purchase through a trust. Finance/Insurance Broker A specialist commercial finance and insurance broker can access to a wide base of lenders and help you find a loan suited to your objectives, not simply the lowest rate. They also have access to the best insurance products to protect you and your interests. Financial Planner A financial planner can help you compare your commercial property’s performance against other asset classes to ensure you’re achieving the best outcomes. Solicitor A solicitor will ensure leases, contracts of sale and other legal documents preserve your interests. Urban Planner If your property has redevelopment potential, a planner will advise you on approvals that may present new opportunities for your wealth strategy in the future.
