Owner of Shopping Center walks property & inspects using Rent Manager AppSuite Pro | Hue Chen CRE

Join me for a full executive-level shopping center inspection at Amelia Plaza in Fernandina Beach, Florida.

I’ll be using Rent Manager’s RM AppSuite Pro, customized with our executive inspection template, to show you exactly what goes into inspecting and operating a 90,000 SF grocery-anchored shopping center.

This video is both a demonstration of Rent Manager’s powerful inspection tool and a behind-the-scenes look at what an owner/executive checks for during a thorough CRE property inspection.

Whether you’re a shopping center owner, asset manager, or commercial real estate professional, you’ll see how to:

Use a customized RM AppSuite Pro workflow.

Inspect critical areas (parking lots, signage, tenant spaces, landscaping, ADA compliance, neighboring properties).

Document findings with photos, notes, and service issues in real time.

Think like an owner when evaluating property operations.

👉 Over 25 years of CRE experience in one walkthrough.
