​

At McKee Commercial | The Herbert Group, we believe property owners should always understand how their real estate partner is compensated.

​

Our fees are straightforward, transparent, and designed to align our success with yours. In nearly every case, we earn our fees only when we’re creating value for your property, whether that’s increasing occupancy, collecting rental income, or successfully completing a capital improvement project.

​

Unlike many commercial real estate firms, we don’t believe in burdening our clients with miscellaneous administrative charges or unnecessary pass-through fees. You won’t find additional charges for routine office supplies, standard postage, ordinary communication with attorneys regarding property matters, or other day-to-day administrative tasks that are simply part of providing exceptional service.

​

There are no hidden fees, surprise invoices, or unnecessary markups. Before any work begins, we’ll clearly outline our compensation and answer any questions you may have.

​

Commercial Property Management

Our property management fee is based on a percentage of the rent and other income we successfully collect on behalf of the property owner.

​

This approach aligns our interests with yours.

 

When your property performs well, occupancy increases, tenants pay on time, and rental income grows, we succeed alongside you.

 

Our property management services include much more than collecting rent. Depending on your property’s needs, services may include:

​

• Tenant and vendor communication

• Rent collection and delinquency follow-up

• Property inspections

• Maintenance coordination

• Vendor management

• Financial reporting

• Budget preparation and operating expense management

• Lease administration

• Coordination with attorneys, accountants, insurance providers, and other professionals as needed

• Emergency response coordination

• Owner reporting and strategic planning

 

Because every property is unique, management fees are customized based on:

​

• Property type

• Number of tenants

• Property size

• Operational complexity

• Scope of requested services

​

What’s Included

Our management fee covers the routine administrative work required to professionally operate your property. Unlike some firms, we do not charge additional fees for services that should already be included in professional property management, such as:

​

• Standard office supplies

• Routine postage and mailing

• Regular owner communications

• Coordination with attorneys regarding legal matters

• Coordination with accountants and CPAs

• Routine vendor communication

• Standard document preparation

• Normal administrative support

 

Our philosophy is simple: if it’s part of managing your property properly, it should generally be included in our management services, not billed as an extra.

​

Commercial Leasing Services

Vacancy is expensive.

​

Every day a space remains vacant represents lost rental income, reduced property value, and missed opportunities. Our leasing compensation is performance-based, meaning we earn a commission only after successfully completing a lease transaction.

 

Because every leasing assignment is different, we utilize two commission structures.

 

New Leases

Securing a new tenant requires significant time, expertise, and proactive marketing.

​

Our new lease services include:

​

• Property evaluation and leasing strategy

• Professional marketing

• Broker outreach

• Tenant prospecting

• Property tours

• Market analysis

• Financial qualification of prospective tenants

• Letter of Intent negotiations

• Lease negotiations

• Coordination with attorneys, lenders, architects, contractors, and other parties as needed

• Ongoing transaction management through lease execution

 

Our commission for new leases is calculated as a percentage of the total lease value because each assignment is unique in scope and complexity.

 

Lease Renewals

Retaining an existing quality tenant is often one of the best financial decisions a property owner can make.

 

Since the tenant is already operating at the property, lease renewals generally require less marketing and transaction management than securing a brand new tenant.

​

Our lease renewal services include:

​

• Review of existing lease terms

• Market rental analysis

• Renewal negotiations

• Lease amendment preparation and coordination

• Extension documentation

• Communication with ownership and the tenant throughout the process

 

Because renewals typically involve substantially less work than new leasing assignments, our renewal commission is lower than our commission for new leases.

​

Our goal is to help owners retain strong tenants while maximizing rental income and minimizing costly vacancies.

 

Construction & Capital Improvement Oversight

Construction and capital improvement projects require experienced oversight to protect your investment and keep projects moving efficiently.

​

Whether you’re renovating vacant suites, completing tenant improvements, upgrading common areas, or undertaking larger capital improvement projects, we provide professional oversight from planning through completion.

​

For projects exceeding $5,000, our fee is 10% of the total project cost.

 

Our Construction & Capital Improvement Oversight services include:

​

• Project planning

• Scope development

• Contractor recommendations

• Competitive bid review

• Vendor coordination

• Budget monitoring

• Schedule management

• Progress inspections

• Owner reporting

• Change order review

• Final walkthrough and project closeout

 

Our objective is to help complete projects on time, within budget, and to the quality standards expected by ownership.

​

Our Commitment to Transparency

Our compensation model is built on a simple principle: our success should be tied to the success of your property.

 

When you partner with McKee Commercial | The Herbert Group, you can expect:

​

• Clear, upfront pricing

• No hidden administrative fees

• No surprise invoices

• Transparent communication

• Professional service focused on protecting and growing your investment

 

Before any agreement begins, we’ll clearly explain our compensation, outline the services included, and answer any questions you may have.

 

We’re committed to building long-term relationships through trust, transparency, and measurable results—not unexpected charges.
