First Guardian Group

Company Description

Is your property working hard for you – operating efficiently, satisfying tenants, and producing profits? Or are you working for your building – collecting rents, calling contractors, continually paying for services and not making a large enough profit?

FGG Asset and Property Management can make your property work more profitably for  you. Our experience and expertise can keep your property running smoothly by controlling expenses and making it appealing to both current and prospective tenants. We can help  you maximize your property’s curb appeal, operating efficiency, and tenant satisfaction to provide you with the highest possible net operating income. 

Our focus is to: (1) allow our clients to enjoy the benefits of real estate ownership by eliminating the burdens associated with day-to-day management, and (2) provide the support necessary to build solid value in their real estate investment. 

Our pledge is to manage our clients’ real estate investment to achieve the owners’ objectives while using the same diligence and careful scrutiny as if the property was our own. Personal hands-on service and support, unparalleled personal attention to our property owners and their property, and continuous consideration for the highest level of tenant satisfaction and retention are the cornerstones of our business. 

We Make Your Property Work for You

Your property is a valuable asset, so we will manage it proactively to help you maximize your return on investment. We implement a customized budget and operating plan that considers the following items: 

Leasing and Brokerage Services

FGG’s approach to leasing begins in understanding the core fundamentals of the market. A strong commitment to both formal research and market networking keeps our leasing representatives ahead of the curve in understanding the very competitive property leasing environment. This results in many important advantages for you: Our experienced representatives will help you determine an aggressive yet realistic marketing and pricing strategy. Our very extensive networking contacts in the market will identify and attract tenants. 

We strongly believe in building a brand for your property through creation of sophisticated and effective marketing materials. This includes development of brochures, web sites, emarketing, direct marketing, trade show participation, and ongoing advertising in select trade publications. We will also make available and actively communicate the most current inventory of space availabilities at your property, both to the brokerage community and to other potential sources of tenant prospects. Our transaction management systems will keep you appraised at all phases of the leasing process: from available prospect lists to proposals to negotiations to final terms of the deal. 

Receivership Services

As appointed receiver, our primary objectives are to work directly with lending institutions to stabilize the physical asset and records and protect the income stream. Leveraging our experience with Asset Management, Development, Construction and Property Management, FGG is able to quickly identify all problems as well as articulating the costs and timing required to implement them. Receivership services include, but are not limited to: 

• Preparing and filing all Receivers' documents and serving all appropriate parties
