Property Management

Jason Williams, is a Partner at NGH Real Estate, and manages NGH Real Estates Property Management Operations. Jason also serves as President of Charter Properties, a privately held real estate investment company in Central Ohio. He is responsible for all operations of a real estate portfolio consisting of over 1,000 apartment and commercial units. The firm has grown by acquiring distressed assets and improving the tenancy and/or the physical asset to increase value. Mr. Williams started with the firm in 2002 as a project manager and became president in 2007. Jason has managed the day to day of several of these repositioning opportunities. Mr. Williams has a comprehensive understanding of the business and understands how to create and preserve value. His responsibilities include managing a staff of 25 asset managers and maintenance technicians, customer service and retention, conflict resolution, finance, and wealth creation/preservation.

Mr. Williams most notable property turn around was an acquisition in 2011 of a 124-unit apartment community for $29,000 per door, reposition, hold, and then selling in 2015 for $52,000 per door. The asset required very little capital improvement as it was newer with few structural flaws. Instead the asset suffered from negative perception in the community due to a history of tenant problems. Through the implementation of firm community policies and a higher standard for approval criteria the community was turned around for the better, which translated into better tenancy, higher rents, fewer turns, and fewer expenses. All of which are a receipt for success.

Mr. Williams is a graduate of Boston University where he studied Business Administration. He is also a Certified Apartment Portfolio Supervisor by the National Apartment Association and he is a licensed real estate agent in the State of Ohio. Jason volunteers with several national and local organizations that focus on helping families in need, such as the Salvation Army and the Charity Newsies. When not working he enjoys spending time with his wife of 15 years and children, being in the outdoors, or coaching lacrosse.
