Real Estate Management Business Plan

Services

MSN offers on-site security guards who patrol the grounds during evenings, nights, and early mornings. We also offer an on-site repair service. There will always be an open line of communication between the renters and the management via an MSN Web page and a 24-hour, call-in answering service.

3.2 Competitive Comparison

MSN's competitive advantage is as follows:

1. We offer a higher level of quality in our units than the average unit on campus. This allows for those residents who do not want their living situations to inhibit their studies, comfort or enjoyment of campus life.
2. Each unit will be fully wired to the Internet via available modem jacks and/or ethernet access. If the residents desire to have the best Internet access, we will give them that option.
3. Our marketing and advertising costs will be low due to simple marketing strategies. However, the owner's expertise in visual layout and communications will help create a unique and aesthetic product for the customer.
4. The main competition MSN will encounter will be average lower cost apartment units.

3.3 Sales Literature

MSN will have brochures available at all offices. These will give the customer a general outline of our units and will explain the benefits of our units. We will also have a monthly newsletter that we will send out to our clients. This newsletter will inform the clients as to the growth and outreach of MSN. It will also contain some human interest stories about our complexes and the residents.

Will also advertise in the local newspapers including The Daily Emerald, The Register-Guard, and The Oregonian. Our marketing strategies are simple but aim to reach a large amount of people. The layout of our publications and advertisements will have a sophisticated and contemporary look without being overly formatted.

3.4 Fulfillment

1. MSN's key fulfillment will be provided by management's dedication to a higher quality product. This is achieved through the solid network of contractors, and cutting edge architects who are all dedicated to helping MSN. We are hard workers who have a solid backing from our developers.
2. We will maintain a pool of professionals in which to pull from for our needed services. This will help us develop a rapport with our contractors as well maintaining our high expectations.

3.5 Technology

MSN real estate will have the most up-to-date technology provided both to the customers and to the subcontractors and other clients.

1. Ethernet ports and/or modem jacks will be installed in each unit developed by MSN.
2. Access to a 24-hour copy/fax center located on the premises.
3. Each unit will contain an emergency panic alert that will automatically go through to the manager and the local police department.

3.6 Future Services

In the future, MSN will look to give each department within the company the opportunity to become a more independent entity. This will make expansion efforts more efficient, and will provide specialists in their departments the chance to become more focused in their field.

We are in the process of conducting surveys in order to determine the best possible markets for MSN expansion.
