Leasing & Property Management
Services Overview
Prior economic conditions of the 1980’s, 1990’s, and the 2007-12 Great Recession have served to highlight the volatility of commercial real estate markets and the need to secure expert representation in the strategic areas of leasing, property management, and asset management services. In reducing the risks inherent in owning and managing investment property, the markets have clearly demonstrated that the reputation and integrity of Dominion Advisory Group, Inc. “make a huge difference” when it comes to enhancing asset value.
“It gets back to remembering who your customer is. To us, a commercial tenant is a customer. To many other property management firms, the tenant is simply a debtor,” says Larry R. Baumgardner, CCIM, president of Dominion Advisory Group, Inc. Mr. Baumgardner goes on to say that “the reason we take that approach on the leasing and property management side of the house is because we have that approach on the corporate services (tenant representation) side. It’s just an automatic transferal.”
With a philosophy of building on service, the Dominion Advisory Group, Inc. is the “go to firm” in San Antonio and all of South Texas when it comes to adding asset value and providing stabilized services from seasoned veterans of the commercial property leasing and commercial property management industry.
