Skyline Real Estate Services

New Home.

New Adventure.

A MESSAGE FROM CHRIS KOHLER Thank you first of all for spending your valuable time meeting with me, and learning about what Skyline Real Estate Services will accomplish for you.

Put simply, I founded Skyline to maximize multi-family properties’ values like no one else can.

While the term “micromanagement” typically carries a negative connotation, I am proud to say that my staff and I are micromanagers in full. We invest the attention to detail required to provide the most cost-effective renovations in our industry, and commit ourselves to maintaining a sterling curb appeal.

We are devoted to our tenants whether they are current or prospective, instantly returning their phone calls and seeing to it that their requests are met just as quickly. We play an active role in the communities we are privileged to be a part of, attending city council meetings, building relationships with inspectors, and improving our neighborhoods.

Through micromanagement, no opportunity to serve our client escapes Skyline.

In the following pages you will learn more about my company’s values, goals, and track record of providing superlative property management services. If I may ever tell you more about why I love what I do, then please know I am always available to you.

Thank you,

Chris Kohler, Owner and President of Skyline Real Estate Services

OUR MISSION

OUR CORE VALUES

Skyline Real Estate Services was founded with a simple

We are always learning. Investment real estate is constantly evolving.

The property manager that stays apprised of their industry’s best practices will offer their clients greater value than the one that stagnates. Through hard work and ongoing education, we continually improve to provide the best service possible.

intention: to become Minnesota’s superlative property management solution. One decade later, we are confident that we have fulfilled this mission. We take exceptional care of our properties, maintaining them in precisely the condition their owners instruct and keeping their grounds immaculate. We source the most qualified tenants for our properties, and retain them through prompt, personable interactions. We pore over our properties’ numbers, always looking for ways to improve their profitability at no cost to their owners.

In this fashion we maximize a property’s value like no other management service can.

We work for our tenants. Tenants are foundational — without them a rental property ceases to be an investment. We attract and retain high value renters by placing our tenants’ needs first, and endeavor to resolve their requests as quickly as possible. We also establish a personal rapport with our tenants, who know each of our team members by name.

We think outside the box. Our multifaceted approach to property management considers all available opportunities for growth. While maintaining a clear vision of our goals, we comprise the most qualified employees, study our properties’ data, seek out issues in need of immediate resolution, continually optimize our processes, and adhere to the strictest standards of accountability.

We stay hungry, humble, and happy. Our team continually seeks out new ways to learn, innovate, and go above and beyond what property managers must do. We consider no task beneath us — if our president spots a candy wrapper on one of our properties’ sidewalks, he bends over and picks it up himself. Finally, we are enthusiastic: This is our dream job, and that shows throughout every facet of our work.

A few months ago when the old company owned these apartments I probably would have written a completely different review. However, since new management has come to own this location it’s turned around immensely.

The buildings are always being looked after and updated to what they see fit, any issues that arise are always being handled and taken care of, and communication is great. Not to mention that the awesome humans who are in the main office are always welcoming, kind and extremely helpful! I’m so glad they took over and helped make these apartments into a great home.
