Seymour Finkel, the founder of Certified Management Company entered the real estate business in 1955. His son, Paul Finkel, joined the firm in 1985. Over the last 50+ years they have successfully worked on several projects throughout southeast Michigan. These projects, which include the full spectrum of real estate, from a single custom home, to complete subdivisions; and from a small tenant retrofit to the development of a 250,000 square foot mid rise office complex, have one thing in common - the unparalleled professionalism and attention to detail that is a prerequisite for their successful completion. These are the trademarks of Certified Management Company. Today we are a full service commercial real estate firm, providing leasing, management and general contracting all under one roof. Our goal is to service our clients - both owners and tenants, in a professional, efficient and cost competitive manner. Property owners can look to Certified Management Company to provide all needed services out of our Novi office, including managing a project from site selection through tenant or owner occupancy, and then once completed we can provide ongoing property management, brokerage, and tenant build-out services. Tenants can count on us to provide them a number of options in your search for a new facility. We will conduct your search for a new facility, not only within our represented properties, but throughout the entire marketplace too. We subscribe to Co-Star and LoopNet, therefore we have full access to all available properties in the market. Additionally, if your best solution is a build-to-suit, we provide full site selection and construction services, and we will own the building as a sale lease back if you desire.

We represent both owners and tenants. We provide standard brokerage services to owners of property. We will provide our standard site signage to your property and include your property in Co-Star and LoopNet, and on this web site. We also maintain a complete mailing list of all other brokers in town and we will make sure they are aware of your property. For tenants we will work with you as an exclusive tenant representative, providing you complete search and analysis services. We will focus on your needs, and promise to show you all properties that match your site search criteria.

We can help you arrange financing for your property, from a small SBA loan to a large portfolio loan. Headed by Lawrence D. Hadley, our Mortgage Banking Department maintains relationships with a large consortium of lenders, from small community banks, to large national banks; from small regional life companies to major regional and national life companies; and from private equity lenders to large Wall Street conduit lenders. We can provide you multiple loan quotes from various sources so you can take advantage of the best mortgage financing and refinancing available in the market place. Hadley has spent 30 years in corporate and mortgage banking, including nearly 20 years as the owner of Hadley and Associates, Mortgage Bankers and prior to that as an executive with Comerica Mortgage Corporation. He previously taught commercial real estate for seven years in the BBA program at the Stephen M. Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan and currently teaches corporate finance at Walsh College in Novi.

We can manage your properties, from a single building to an entire portfolio. We use the industry leading Property Boulevard software, which allows us to manage a multiple of properties and portfolios, for a multiple of owners. We will provide you with complete reporting each month. We also maintain a full service maintenance department - fully automated with Property Boulevard, so all your property information is located within one record. Call us for a demonstration.

We can tailor a construction program to your wants and desires. You decide how involved you want to be in your project and then we will work together to design the program that fits you best. As an example, if you want to be active in your project, we can serve as your project manager - you hire us for a fixed fee and we provide all services needed to complete your project. You will be involved with all aspects of the project, including reviewing bids, hiring trades, and paying the invoices. On the opposite side of the spectrum, if you want little or no involvement, we can serve as your general contractor. We will bid your project from the approved plans and specifications, and provide you with a fixed "turnkey" price, subject to changes and unforeseen conditions. After the contract is signed your job is over. We will provide all services and complete your project. We will contact you upon completion when it is time to turn the keys over to you. There are many alternatives available for structuring your project. Call us to discuss the option that is best for you.

We are happy to provide build to suit services to any firm looking to meet specific needs. A build to suit can be structured as a sale leaseback if their firm does not want to get into the business of real estate. We have arranged several real estate investments, and can structure a sale lease back to meet your needs, while making it attractive to an investment group that will serve as your landlord. Of course we are happy to complete your build to suit on a sale basis also.
