Company History

Our Legacy of Excellence

Since the early 1980’s, Axiom Properties, Inc. and its founder Robert A. Cagann, CPM have been actively engaged in the acquisition, rehabilitation, repositioning and management of “B” and “C” quality residential multi-family properties. Axiom Properties, Inc. has continuously paid superior cash distributions to the investors in a diversified portfolio of properties.

Axiom is uniquely positioned to present investors with the opportunity to participate in benefits from income growth and value creation at a reasonable level of risk.This objective will be achieved through the combination of financially attractive acquisitions; prudent physical property improvements; proven management strategies that elevate each property’s market position compared to its competition; and currently improving economic conditions in apartment markets.

Axiom Properties, Inc. and its principals, Robert A. Cagann, CPM, Joel Levin, and Roger M. Cagann, are uniquely qualified and positioned by their experience, identity in the marketplace, financial credibility and track record of proven successes. In 1994, Robert A. Cagann, CPM authored the book, REHABILITATING APARTMENTS, A RECYCLING PROCESS, published by the Institute of Real Estate Management that became the leading industry text on this topic.

As a company, Axiom has been built on this underlying principle. The property performance that they have achieved over the years is evidence of both the validity of this principle and Axiom’s ability to execute to this standard.

The Axiom Proven Keys to Success are:

Management Flexibility: Understand each property and its market and then design programs, polices and procedures based upon the unique needs of that property under current market conditions.

Strategic Use of Capital Investments: Make critical physical and operational repairs and replacements right away, then spend additional dollars only on those items that will provide a return on investment.

Manage and Maintain with
Long-Term Cash Flow in Mind: Fix things the right way the first time, reduce call backs, keep residents happy, eliminate the perception that the same problems keep occurring.

Prepare the Product,
Present it Fairly at a Good Value: Properties may not have the best location or amenities, but they are always clean, vacant apartments are ready for move-in and are priced competitively without gimmicks.

Run a Professional Operation: Perform work orders on a timely basis, respect that this is the residents’ home and in return, require that residents pay their rent on time and respect the property, other residents and the rules and policies of management.  Apartments are always fully prepared and ready for move-ins and all work orders are completed within 24 hours.

Resident Retention Begins at Move-in: Management and operational personnel are trained to make sure they know residents personally and that residents want to stay in the community.
