Our in-house capabilities, coupled with a focus on estab- lished apartment communities and wealth of experience in the marketplace, will enable us to customize a program that will raise the bar for Arlington Park’s management and leas- ing campaigns.” Value Cos. currently owns and manages a portfolio of 3,226 residential units across fifteen communities located throughout NJ, PA and NY. The firm has an outstand- ing track record in property management since 1952; and its proven experience and passion for excellence have established the company as one of the northeast’s leading real estate developers, owners and managers. “One key to our success has been an ability to grow and adapt to the ever-changing rental marketplace and ex- pand from traditional methods by employing innovative tech- niques to effectively market and manage our properties,” said Abramson. “This ability to understand the current rental landscape,

as well as our strong knowl- edge of local markets, has allowed us to achieve and maintain historically-high oc- cupancy levels at our commu- nities despite current economic conditions and challenges. Value Asset Management passes along this expertise and knowledge to outside property owners and develop- ers concerned with effective community operations, raising the bottom line and increasing profit margins.” Value Asset Management will offer a “hands on” ap- proach, staffing communities with the kind of multifamily professionals, leasing agents and maintenance personnel that have been instrumental in crafting Value’s sterling reputation for customer service and management efficiency, Abramson points out.
