Satisfied customers lead to a more cooperative and involved community, translating into a more constructive living environment.
STEP 3
Any Association with satisfied owners increases the overall appeal of the community, resulting in higher property values.
STEP 4
We hire educated property managers as much for their public relations skills and responsiveness to resident needs, as for their knowledge of building maintenance and accounting.
Advisors
Our management philosophy views the Board of Directors as the policy making body of the association. Our managers act as advisor to the Board when our expertise and experience can add value. We view our role as the Managing Agent for your community responsible for carrying out the directives of the Board.
Communication
We pride ourselves on our communication with our Boards of Directors; communication not only by means of a financial statement at the end of each month, but communication that allows the Board to understand the overall condition of their buildings. We believe that our Boards of Directors need to understand the events that lead up to a certain expense as much as they need to know the precise dollar amount of the expense.
Decision-Making
Clear delineation of association responsibilities allows the association to optimize the use of Board, committee, and volunteer resources. Our management philosophy views the Board of Directors as the policy making body of the association.
COVENANT ENFORCEMENT

Inspection
Either during our regular site inspection or in response to a complaint, we will inspect a unit in non-compliance, document the violations, and correspond with the unit owner regarding the violation.
Expertise
If?the violation is not corrected, we will consult with the association documents and provide guidance to the Board of Directors regarding their options.
Enforcement
If further enforcement is needed, we will assist the association in initiating further enforcement through fines (if allowed in the documents), fixing the unit (if allowed in the documents) and/or referring the unit to the Association’s attorney for further enforcement as needed.
Policies
