The Advantage of a Three Step Insured Property Loss Claims Strategy
You just received a call on your cell that a small fire has occurred at the office building you manage and coincidentally operate out of. You return to your office to find that while the fire was small, the subsequent fire sprinkler damage is heavy…. Now what?
Insured property loss claim events are often ill-timed and come in a variety of types and sizes. While the occurrence is hardly predictable, the proper management of a claim process should lead to predictable results. As with any challenging situation you encounter in business, gaining and maintaining the advantage is the key to success. At Stirling, we use a simple three step strategy. This strategy will prepare you with the tools to tackle the simple, and the complex insured property loss claims and create predictability throughout the claim and restoration process. (more…)
Stirling Properties Officially Announces Sam’s Club is Coming to River Chase
COVINGTON, Louisiana —- (AUGUST 16, 2011) Stirling Properties, the developer of River Chase, officially announces that Sam’s Club is coming to River Chase Shopping Center, the largest open-air retail center in St. Tammany Parish. Sam’s Club closed today on the purchase of a 16.58 acre site for the development of a new, 136,000 square foot store at River Chase. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., the parent company for Sam’s Club, has committed to build their top of the line prototype building at the River Chase site, which will not resemble any other Sam’s Club in Louisiana.
This new Sam’s Club will be the only one in western St. Tammany and construction on the predominantly stone and brick facade will begin soon as Sam’s has already obtained all the necessary permits to begin. The anticipated opening is scheduled for fall 2012 and is expected to provide 100+ jobs for the area.

COVINGTON, LOUISIANA (February 7, 2011) –
Stirling Properties collected Mardi Gras items to send to men and women serving in Afghanistan and Iraq. For the second year in a row, the company collected Mardi Gras trinkets, costumes and beads for the Louisiana Chapter of Soldiers’ Angels Operation Overseas Mardi Gras. Soldiers’ Angels is a non-profit, international volunteer organization that provides yearlong aid to all branches of the United States military.
“Several of our employees are military veterans, while others have family members who are currently deployed, so it was important to us to let the troops know we support them,” said Marty Mayer, President and CEO of Stirling Properties.
This year, with participation from area schools, employees from Stirling Properties mailed 25 boxes to send to the troops. Mrs. Daviston’s second grade class at Covington Elementary School and Mrs. Reed’s and Mrs. Bendernagel’s sixth grade classes at Mandeville Middle School provided dozens of hand crafted cards and letters which were included in the packages.
“The letters the children wrote and the cards they made are so special,” said Tina Crouchet, Lease Administrator for Stirling Properties and mother of Spc. Randy L. Caminita Jr. who is currently serving in Afghanistan. “These packages will definitely make our troops smile and, more importantly, allows us to extend our local culture and carnival spirit to those not able to spend Mardi Gras with their family and those yet to experience our carnival traditions.”
Stirling Properties’ hope is to help exceed Soldiers’ Angels goal of 1,500 boxes, which will mean every currently-deployed Louisiana Unit will have a purple, green and gold care package to open in time for Mardi Gras.
