For Multi-Property Owners

Most Texas commercial owners outgrow generic property management.

When you owned one or two properties, a basic management firm was enough. But once you cross 5 — and certainly by 10 — properties, you start needing strategy, not just operations. Which assets are dragging your portfolio? When should you sell vs reposition? Where can you push rents? Are your tenants the right ones? When does a 1031 make sense?

These are not questions a property manager answers. They are questions a principal-level commercial real estate firm answers — and that's what CRECO is built to be.

We sit in your seat. Every quarter, we walk your full Texas portfolio and tell you: keep, reposition, or sell. We make the case with hard numbers — submarket comps, tenant credit analysis, mark-to-market upside — and we execute the recommendations through our leasing, sales, and management teams.

What you get with CRECO

  • Principal-level relationship — every engagement is led by a senior CRECO broker
  • Quarterly portfolio strategy reviews with actionable recommendations
  • Texas-wide coverage: San Antonio, Austin, Houston, DFW, and beyond
  • Institutional reporting (monthly financials, leasing pipeline, capex tracking)
  • Off-market deal flow for acquisitions and 1031 up-legs
  • Direct broker access — no junior-associate handoffs

People Also Ask

Owner Services FAQ

How is CRECO different from a national property management firm?+
National firms typically excel at managing single large institutional assets. CRECO is built for the multi-property Texas owner — entrepreneurs, family offices, and private investors with 5 to 100 commercial properties. You get principal-level attention on strategy and a tight property-management team that knows every asset, instead of being one of 10,000 buildings on a national platform.
What size portfolio does CRECO work with?+
We work with Texas commercial property owners ranging from 3 properties to 75+. Our sweet spot is 10-50 property portfolios with mixed asset types (retail, industrial, office, mixed-use) where strategy across the portfolio matters as much as managing any single building. Smaller owners (1-5 properties) often engage us for advisory + leasing rather than full management.
What does CRECO charge for owner services?+
Property management fees typically run 3-5% of effective gross income, depending on portfolio size and asset mix — multi-property engagements are tiered down. Leasing commissions follow market convention (typically 4-6% of total lease value, paid 50% on lease execution / 50% on tenant occupancy). Strategic advisory and acquisition / disposition is engagement-fee or success-fee based, structured per assignment.
Do you handle properties outside San Antonio?+
Yes — CRECO is a Texas-wide owner services firm. We actively manage and advise on properties across San Antonio, Austin, Houston, DFW, El Paso, Corpus Christi, and the Hill Country. For owners with multi-market Texas portfolios, having one firm coordinating across all of them simplifies reporting, leasing strategy, and disposition timing.
Can I keep my existing property manager and just engage CRECO for strategy?+
Absolutely. Many owners engage CRECO purely for strategic advisory — quarterly portfolio reviews, hold/sell calls on individual assets, tenant repositioning recommendations, disposition timing — while keeping their current PM in place for day-to-day operations. We work in whatever role the engagement requires.
How quickly can you take over property management for an existing portfolio?+
Onboarding a new owner with an established Texas portfolio typically takes 30-60 days. We tour every asset, audit existing leases and rent rolls, transition vendor contracts, set up financial reporting in our system, and meet every tenant. The first 90 days post-onboarding includes a full portfolio review and a strategy memo recommending immediate wins.
