-Paul Kraemer
The first time I worked with Paul was 25 years ago when he helped us acquire a very strategic property in Yorba Linda for a church building. Since then we’ve benefitted from his expertise in property management, leasing of office facilities, and even the sale of a 72 unit senior living apartment building (others said it couldn’t be done). Paul made it happen. With exhaustive due diligence, stellar negotiation skills, and an overall passion to get the best results on every transaction; Paul also manages to grow his business relationships into friendships. That’s why I consider him such a good friend today.
Paul Kraemer has come alongside me, advising myself and my company for over twenty years. Paul’s counsel has come in two rather distinct ways:
Logistically. Most recently, PK Management simultaneously traded two of our company’s real estate assets, placing those funds in three (3) income-producing assets. The multi-million-dollar transactions included a land development sale and a Owner User project. Our trades are performing and producing the income we targeted.
Globally. While the nuts and bolts of our transactions were clearly important, I consider the personal touch Paul employees to be of equal value. Paul patiently walked myself and my wife through every step with experience, knowledge, patience, and humor. Paul took the time, while executing the plan, to teach us the basics of why certain choices were more advantages than others. Ultimately, I used the processes and principals Paul taught me to responsibly entertain an income producing real estate purchase in our new home state.
Dear Paul,
I wanted to drop a quick note expressing my appreciation for the excellent work done for our client. Your attention to the details and relentless determination in the negations with all parties was exemplary. The PK Management Team efforts and commitment were outstanding, I look forward to future opportunity’s in our consulting efforts with your firm.
Sincerely,
M. Douglas Godown
PK Management has had a stellar reputation in our community for years. When my church asked me to oversee the liquidation of excess land, I hired PK to manage the efforts. The property had adjoining oil wells and we desired deed restrictions to safeguard our adjoining use. PK Management encouraged and coordinated engineering studies, reviewed toxicity reports, then expeditiously delivered competing, full price, all cash, short escrow offers.
Our work is exclusively within the nonprofit sector, and we were in search of a new space for our ministry in Orange County when we were introduced to Paul Kraemer and PK Management. Paul not only helped us locate a suitable property but also presented us with the options of leasing or purchasing. Eventually, he guided us through the process of acquiring the space that would house our ministry.
Within the nonprofit sector, our organization operates within a specific realm, which not only requires city approvals but also adheres to Orange County health regulations. Paul skillfully helped us navigate the purchasing process and his 30+ years of experience and relational wisdom were exactly what we needed to feel confident in making informed decisions with regard to the property and the city.
My family has employed PK Management for over 20 years to grow our real estate portfolio.
In one such occasion, PK Management helped sell an industrial building in Riverside along with negotiating a new lease for our manufacturing company in Corona while trading the sale proceeds into an office investment in Los Angeles. It was complicated and Paul guided our family. The new office investment generated income while eliminating the income tax through the use of a 1031 Exchange.
With Paul’s sage guidance and counsel our family navigated through the multiple transactions without a wrinkle. PK Management assisted in the leasing, management and then the sale of the office investment. We had increased our cash flow and the asset appreciated nicely.
Paul sets conservative expectations and consistently exceeds those with outstanding results. I have a great deal of trust and faith in Paul for good reason.
I would highly recommend PK Management and Paul Kraemer to wisely expand your real estate portfolio in the most profitable way.
A 5 Star Recommendation for Paul Kraemer, President of PK Management. I highly recommend Paul Kraemer, President of PK Management, to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and experienced financial advisor.
Sometimes, you need to get out of your comfort zone and have someone to discuss your financial situation, where you are and your realistic goals for the future. Paul guided me through a thorough review of my financial situation, and we concluded that I really needed to sell my commercial office building property.
That was the easy part; now, I was faced with huge capital gains and not enough cash to buy like kind property. Paul suggested a Delaware Statutory Trust [DST] 1031 Exchange. He presented several options and reviewed their suitability and my comfort with the investment. His services were total from start to finish. We completed the whole review within 45 days of the sale of the property. I never could have learned and accessed the viability of this type of investment without his knowledge and expertise. I got my first DST check the following month, which arrives monthly on time.
Many years ago, I called for a reference and the person told me I was a very lucky woman to have an opportunity to work with this person. And I want to pass along the same advice to you if you ever need Paul Kraemer and his staff at PK Management to help you with your financial situation.
Our family was recommended to seek Paul Kraemer and PK Management’s counsel and advice early in our negotiations of a build-to-suit lease of a generational family asset. Paul guided us through what is ‘normal and customary’ in the commercial real estate market, including valuations, rental rates, lease terms, and conditions. Paul looked out for our best financial interest from the beginning, and when we had to change directions, he was there to ‘reset the table.’ He is knowledgeable and a wise negotiator in his fiduciary role. We were successful with the help of PK Management and Paul Kraemer, and we enthusiastically recommend him to our family and friends.
I have had the privilege of working with Paul for over 15 years providing legal representation to him individually and to his family as well as to many of his clients, friends and community groups that he is associated with. Our work together has included every aspect of real estate development, acquisition, sale, leasing and management you could imagine. He makes the same commitment and exercises the same level of energy to his own interests as when he is acting as a representative of a third-party.
Paul brings a high level of experience and "know how" to the representation of his clients and because of his background on both sides of the table, understands the needs and objectives of all sides to a transaction. He takes a very practical, no nonsense, approach to every transaction and every issue that arises.
With the help of PK Management I purchased my 1st apartment complex over 6 years ago.
They have overseen management and renovations while keeping the units all rented. Three years later PK Management helped me purchase a 2nd property using trade proceeds from the 1st property.
So in short PK Management is much more than property management taking care of your property which they do a Great Job at. They understand the rental market, keeping the rents in line with surrounding, competitive properties, and providing counsel and trade expertise.
PK Management has been an invaluable resource for our company. Paul and his team have guided our business through some of the most challenging obstacles one can imagine. His counsel has been useful, prudent, and wise. They are always available to assist in any capacity we've needed. They serve as much more than just property managers, they also serve as asset managers, helping us to focus not only on our short term goals, but the long term goals as well. They manage our asset with the goal of getting us the best return on our investment. They've helped us to grow from a small, "mom and pop" restaurant/commercial property that had been in the family for 40 years, to a much larger retail center with multiple tenants going and coming. The entire time they guided us through the various challenges and pitfall associated with this type of investment. In short, I cannot overstate the value of the services provided by PK Management.
Having worked with Paul Kraemer for almost twenty years, it is impossible to sum up the trust and respect I have for him in a few sentences. Paul and his team have assisted me and several of my friends and associates secure leases. His unique ability to negotiate firmly and competitively with kindness has been invaluable. And his knowledge of the market and available properties is remarkable. I am always amazed at his ability to throw out rental rates and list prices for virtually any area I’ve asked him to explore. Something I am sure he would not want advertised, Paul is exceptionally patient. I can be somewhat particular and hesitant to jump on opportunities, and Paul is always straightforward, yet understanding and not at all pushy. Above all, Paul is an honorable man I am privileged to call a business associate, trusted advisor and friend.
Through the handful of multifamily transactions I have worked with Paul Kraemer, he has always followed through as promised. PK Management works with a high degree of professionalism, honesty and is very experienced in many aspects of the multifamily real estate business.
PK Management and Covenant Air have worked together for over 30 years. Paul advised me with my business, industrial leases, and had encouraged us to consider buying a building as an investment and a new home for our firm.
When we were ready, PK Management assisted in all the negotiations of the purchase and financing of the asset we now call home. He kept us informed of what to expect "in the future" and delivered exactly what he promised.
I recommend PK Management and Paul Kraemer for all of your business and real estate needs.
