EXPERTISE
REASONABLE STANDARDS OF CARE
Property Management Standards
I have acquired my expertise in reasonable standards of care from over thirty-five years of Property Management and Maintenance experience and seventeen years as an expert legal witness. The reasonable standard of care requires a Property Manager to implement a program to inspect and later confirm the property to be free and clear of hazards to protect the health, safety and welfare of all owners, tenants and visitors to the property. A Property Manager shall hold a high regard for the safety and health of those at a managed property and shall manage all properties in accordance with local state sanitary code guidelines and other habitability requirements within their local jurisdiction.

RISK MANAGEMENT
Residential, Commercial, Industrial,
Home Owner Associations and Condominiums
Professional experience analyzing, planning and implementing methods to minimize property owners exposure to risk. This is accomplished through the use of risk management tools such as insurance, loss prevention and reduction, training and safety inspections.
To reduce risk, many owners and Property Managers would benefit by having working carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, entering into written contracts with employees, tenants and vendors, having fully functioning doors, intercoms, well lit lighting, locks, security cameras, using diligent tenant screening, and having appropriate insurance coverage.
