Our approach

We are professionals whose priority is to completely serve our clients in a personal and caring manner by providing the highest quality management service. We treat our clients' properties with the same attention and concern we give our own. We always remember that people are important. 

Management Partnership Establishing a firm working partnership with your association's Board of Directors is key to successful management of your association. We invest ourselves in that partnership from the beginning. 

Communication We will keep you informed and will give you honest feedback. The partnership depends on this.

Respect We respect the relationship with your Board of Directors and your association members, and are aware of the unique, special role that we have, acknowledging the impact we can have on your community. That impact must be positive. 

Responsibility There is special responsibility that results from the management partnership formed with your Board of Directors and the impact we have on your community. We will stay focused on that and will not avoid it.

What can we do for your association?

The services outlined below are those possible under a management agreement with us; however, the list is not all-inclusive. To maintain simplicity, we left out many smaller routine items. In most cases items can be added or deleted so that service will be tailored to your association needs. At all times, we are subject to the supervision and control of your Board of Directors in the performance of all our contracted duties. While we will charge you for the work we do, we will not nickel and dime you for "management extras." This usually results in a substantial savings to your association.
