Lockwood Management was established in May
of 2000. At that time, our young management company was tasked
with overseeing 6 communities. Our reputation as a great
builder and developer has helped us gain recognition and
respect. Our management style is "hands on," devoting
approximately half of our time on site coaching our property
employees. Our long-term philosophy encourages three areas of
focus. First, we are customer centered.
Our residents can expect:
- Excellent floor plans and amenities at
affordable rents.
- Options such as laundry equipment and
carports that improve the rental experience.
- A commitment to providing prompt service,
including a policy of not more than a 24-hour response time
for service work inside the apartment.
- We make it our business at the
communities to be a one-stop referral source for community
support services and agencies.
- Our pledge to provide courteous service
to our customers includes a prominently displayed plaque on
the wall, providing the telephone number to the Corporate
Office.
- Consistency in management function -
standardized filing systems and procedure manuals at the
fingertips of on-site management staff.
- Real time data available to look up
accounts and provide information to our residents promptly.
- A smile and warm greeting when our
residents visit the office.
Our associates are motivated through
providing:
- An open door policy and encouraging an
entrepreneurial spirit at the site.
- We encourage specialization within the
management team - i.e. trainers and assigned mentors for new
employees.
- A significant investment in training
through in-house training and classes offered through the
area apartment associations and tax credit professionals.
- We provide a constant stream of
communications and frequent visits from corporate employees.
- We are committed to diversity and
individual differences that make each of us unique.
- We provide great benefits, including: a
cafeteria plan for benefits, immediate accrual of leave and
a matching 40lk program.
- Manuals are available to staff explaining
policies and operational procedures.
- We support industry trade groups and are
actively involved in IREM and the Detroit Metropolitan
Apartment Association.
Our investors are then rewarded by meeting
our commitments and providing them with returns on their
investment in our communities.
- Strong commitment to meeting or exceeding
underwriting goals.
- Keeping them informed of market changes
or significant management issues.
- Excellent financial reporting and graphs
to indicate trends.
- Passing on discounts earned to do
negotiated pricing and leveraging volume purchasing of the
construction division.
- Most of our sites are painting apartments
"in-house," saving on turnover expenses.
- We have the capacity to take on new
opportunities and we have the resources to do a good job for
you.
