Owner Education

Keep the Building. Lose the Phone Calls.

Professional management preserves your ownership, your income, and your options — and takes the second job off your plate.

Property and asset management services described on this page are provided by Boulevard Management LP, licensed with the Real Estate Council of Alberta (RECA). Management services for third-party owners are provided under written management agreements, and terms are established individually with each owner.

The option owners forget they have

Many long-tenured apartment owners frame their future as a binary: keep doing everything themselves, or sell. There is a third option that removes the day-to-day burden while you keep the asset and every decision that matters.

You remain the owner. You set the strategy, approve budgets and major expenditures, and decide when and whether anything larger happens with the building. What changes is who the phone rings for.

What professional management actually covers

A full-service residential manager typically takes responsibility for:

Leasing — advertising, showings, screening, lease signing, inspections, and renewals that keep rents aligned with the market.
Maintenance — one point of contact for tenants, 24/7 emergency response, licensed trades, and preventative scheduling, with your approval limits.
Tenant relations — day-to-day communication, arrears follow-up, and the formal notice processes required by residential tenancy legislation.
Financial reporting — rent collection, trust accounting, monthly owner statements, and annual reporting for your accountant.
Compliance — correct handling of deposits, notices, entries, and documentation under your province's tenancy rules.

Management is a fee-based service, typically a percentage of collected rents plus defined charges — put in writing before you commit. A useful side effect: a professionally managed, well-documented building is easier to finance, insure, inherit, or eventually transition.

Ten questions to ask any manager — including us

Our free overview includes the ten questions we think every owner should ask before signing with any property manager. Among them:

How is trust accounting handled, and what does the monthly owner report include? (Ask for a sample.)
How do you procure and mark up maintenance, and what approval limits will I set?
What are all fees — management, leasing, renewal, project oversight — in writing?

Clear, specific answers matter more than polished marketing. The overview tells you which vague answers are a reason to keep looking — whoever you are talking to.
