CastleRock offers community security.

"Finally, all properties realistically have the ability to affordably attain and take advantage of the benefits of in-apartment unit security systems and monitoring," promised Jim German, President and CEO of CastleRock Community Security. "At first property owners find it hard to believe, but CastleRock is the first company to make in unit security available so that the amenity pays lot itself."

The valuable security amenity affords many benefits, but it has never before been available with the ease, flexibility and affordability that CastleRock offers. This means in-unit security is a feasible option for every property no matter the characteristics of the property or the objectives of the property owner.

New technology has made it possible. And, CastleRock ues state of the art wireless technology coupled with a business model designed specifically for the multifamily industry. The result is unlimited flexibility for the property owner. Specifically, CastleRock has the distinct ability to build an in-unit security package that conforms to the needs and situation of every property, property. owner and resident.

"CastleRock was built around the needs of property owners. Whatever is most important to the owner as it pertains to their properly, we can form a security solution," said German. "If it's no up-front costs or a short contract term they want, we can do it. If it's a new source of ancillary income, that's doable too." CastleRock even offers property owners a resident direct solution. This no-risk, ancillary income option leaves the decision of in unit security to the resident, and the property owner simply handles the marketing of the amenity.

CastleRock's in unit security systems and monitoring also present many benefits to the property owner by improving the bottom-line and NOI. When owners make the decision to install a CastleRock security system, they not only deter crime by providing added security and safety for residents, they make a sound financial decision.

Because in-unit security is appealing to potential and current residents as evidenced by multiple industry studies, the amenity is a powerful leasing tool that improves occupancy and increases retention. Additionally, CastleRock's in-unit security systems increases revenue and decreases expenses through:

* Ancillary Income--Direct monthly revenue for each unit installed.

* Increased Rental Income--In-unit security, systems have a high perceived value, and residents are willing to pay higher rents for properties that have them.

* Increased Property Value--Since residents consider in-unit security systems a valuable amenity, a property's real estate value increases and is more attractive to owners and investors.

* Lower Cost For Move-In Specials--Rather than offering costly move-in specials, in-unit security systems provide an alternative incentive to residents.

* Lower Maintenance Costs--In-unit security systems are a powerful deterrent to acts of crime and vandalism, reducing associated costs.

* Insurance Discounts--Insurance companies may offer significant discounts to multifamily properties and their residents if a security system is installed and monitored.
