CBM Tailors Its Services to Its Clients' Needs
The success of a retail property is far more than "location, location, location." Success is best defined by you, our client, and your goals. CBM will analyze your current position and your future real estate goals before providing you with the guidance needed to reach your short-term and extended objectives. We examine not only a property's physical location and condition but also less tangible aspects such as economic forces, then reconcile both to meet your needs whether you are the property's owner, a lessee, or broker.
- CBM evaluates not only a client's fiscal position, but also their investing temperament such as risk assessment relative to your estate planning. Different investors, different experiences, different needs, different objectives. We value and learn from each of our clients.
- CBM coordinates tenants with retail spaces for lease that suit not only the tenant's physical retail needs like location, size, accessibility, etcetera, but also the synergy of the shopping center to create a balanced retail atmosphere that attracts viable clientele.
- CBM understands the art and science of appropriate tenant mix and knows how to achieve retail harmony.

CBM's Retail Property Management, Leasing, and Sales Philosophy
>We are not an oversized, intimidating real estate firm like some of our competitors, but rather a smaller, more intimate real estate partner. Our old-fashioned, handshake approach to business underpins any transaction. Our clients are treated as extended family and in fact, many of our landlords, tenants and cooperating brokers often stop by our office to just say "hello" and we like it that way.
CBM's focused retail real estate experience has taught us the three imperatives to retail real estate success:
Keep It Full
Our goal is to minimize vacancies and maximize your equity position. A leased property is a well of profit.
- CBM maintains an extensive database of national, regional and local tenants and brokers with whom we've built time-tested relationships that have resulted in inked leases.
- CBM conducts property-specific, cross-marketing campaigns via direct mail, canvassing, and email and fax broadcasting.
- CBM creates synergy and balance within the property as a whole as well as within each tenant section and block.
- CBM analyzes relevant market histories, current market trends and market future contrasts when defining and targeting its marketing efforts.
Keep It Organized
Both landords and tenants benefit from CBM's well-organized management practices:
- Landords receive detailed yet reader friendly monthly reports such as rent rolls, CAM collection, and others (see our Management Services page for samples). The statements summarize the short-run performance as well as long term health of your investment. Together we then are in a better position to make informed decisions that yield effective results.
- Tenants receive monthly lease/rent collection statements; the tear-off portion and accompanying return envelope facilitate timely rent collection.
- Landlords have access to our reputable, in-house real estate legal services to counsel our client's on relevant matters.
- CBM's streamlined efforts minimize resource overhead such as time and energy. This proactive, preventative practice minimizes expenses and other potential losses, allowing us to further maximize your earning potential.
- CBM oversees, at the direction of the landlord, all tenant relations from maintenance needs to necessary legal action. Landlords receive written updates monthly and are freed from detailed involvement if they choose to passively participate in their investment. Of course, active, engaged landlords are also welcomed and encouraged.
Keep It Clean
A clean, maintained property is a marketable property. Properties under CBM's management stay clean and inviting as a result of our hands-on approach to management.
- Property Managers makes regular visits to your property to inspect and protect your investment as well as to check-in with your tenants.
- CBM supervises all CAM (Common Area Maintenance) duties.
- CBM nurtures competitive vendor relationships with its hundreds of reliable and fair vendors to ensure they provide quality services at competitive prices.
- CBM offers 24-hour emergency service.
