The office,
on record.
VAW PROPERTIES LLC is a real estate office headquartered in Columbus, Ohio — organized to manage, document and account for other people's property.
Why this
office.
VAW PROPERTIES LLC was organized around a premise every property owner knows: the problem with management isn't the maintenance call — it's that nobody can find the maintenance record six months later. Properties fail in the file before they fail in the field.
The office runs four books: residential and commercial property management — the building, its tenants and its day-to-day — plus appraisal and escrow-fiduciary work, which is management of a different kind: value, custody and trust. Every function answers to the same standard: written instructions, a named manager, a documented file.
The Columbus headquarters is the office of record. Management agreements, owner instructions, trust ledgers and property files all live under one administrative roof — the paperwork the owner never has to chase.
"Management is a fiduciary job wearing a maintenance uniform — the office treats the trust before the tenants."
VAW Properties · Founding premiseCovenants of
the office.
Six commitments that apply to every property on the books.
Written management agreement
Every property is managed under a signed agreement — scope, fees, reserve thresholds and reporting cadence defined before the first dollar moves.
Named manager, one file
A named property manager runs each property — the owner reaches the person who knows the building, not a queue.
Accounts kept separate
Property funds held in trust accounts, reconciled and reported separately — the owner's money is never the office's money.
Reporting on schedule
Monthly statements, maintenance summaries and rent rolls delivered on the calendar — the owner reads the file before asking.
Maintenance authorized
Work orders approved within the agreement's thresholds — documented before the vendor arrives, reported after the job closes.
Escrow held in trust
Escrow funds are fiduciary — held in designated accounts, released only on the conditions the parties documented.
