Real estate is classified as tangible assets according to the definition used in business administration. However, real estate managers are rarely associated with the activities of asset managers. However, we believe that we are entrusted with very large assets that need to be managed, developed, and increased. Once we have convinced our clients through our work, ideas, and results that we are not a necessary evil but the primary driver of value for their assets, we have set the course for a successful future together, we have succeeded in setting the course for a successful future together.
Why you should get to know us!
A property manager who thinks they can do everything and offers their customers everything cannot call themselves a specialist. We don't have a jack-of-all-trades approach; we only deal with commercial properties. But we do that pretty well. Larbig & Mortag Immobilienverwaltung GmbH stands for professional commercial property management with a local focus on Cologne, Bonn, Leverkusen, and the surrounding areas. We specialize in commercial property management because commercial properties are our core competence.
We do not see ourselves as a traditional property manager who simply manages the current situation of a property and reacts to requests. Rather, our core task is the day-to-day management, financial optimization, and strategic market positioning of your commercial property. In addition to commercial optimization, we also offer our technical expertise in the awarding and acceptance of contracts as well as the management and supervision of technicians and service providers.
We view your property as a business that needs to be managed
As asset managers and representatives of the owner, we are entrusted with the task of achieving the best performance for your investment. This includes, above all, a knowledgeable understanding of the commercial real estate market and a clearly formulated strategy to not only manage the assets entrusted to us, but also to develop and increase their value. We identify potential opportunities and activate them where it makes economic sense to do so. The aim is to maximize returns while maintaining high tenant satisfaction and increasing the quality standard of the property.
