Without integrity, motivation is dangerous; without
motivation, capacity is impotent; without capacity, understanding is limited;
without understanding, knowledge is meaningless; without knowledge, experience
is blind.
All too often, we receive phone calls
and e-mails from disgruntled homeowner association board of directors and
rental- property owners that have grown very dissatisfied with the performance
of their management companies. Such directors and owners state that their
managing agents fail to return their phone calls or answer their e-mails, or
they return them with long delays, and that the managers do not assist the
boards or owners to meet the challenges of operating and managing the
associations or rental properties. The directors and owners also maintain
that most management companies, especially the large ones, have become
complacent to the extent that they display a definite lack of care of and
attention to the affairs and wellbeing of the associations and real properties
they manage. Most board members and owners concur that the level of customer
service and professional commitment of most large, well established property
management companies are pronouncedly below par, or, in some cases, almost
nonexistent.
The impersonal and indifferent stance
of some managing agents towards the properties they manage has created a wall
of separation between the interest of the association or property owner and
that of the management company. Such companies do not make any effort to
further the interest of the associations/real properties they manage; they are
only concerned with increasing the bottom line of their income statements—even
if such increases are made at the expense of the operating and management
efficiency of the associations/real properties they are supposed to guide and
protect.
In their search for higher and higher
profits, some management companies do not employ enough portfolio managers to
provide sufficient service levels: the managers are overburdened by managing
more associations/real properties than they are able to properly handle—not
enough personnel to take care of business.
Board members/property owners also
assert that most management companies manage associations in a rather reactive,
instead of a proactive, manner. Those managers fail to guide the
boards/owners through the maze of codes, regulations of the relevant federal,
state and local laws and to aid them in avoiding potential operational and
managerial errors that are committed daily by untrained volunteer directors and
rental property owners.
Tenants/members of associations and
rental properties have reported similar problems: the management companies are
inattentive and indifferent to the tenants’ and members'' complaints, concerns,
and requests, and they offer very low level of customer service.
Learning from the negative experiences
to which boards, members, and tenants have been exposed by their management
firms, we decided many years ago to be pronouncedly different in our corporate
philosophy, management style, and approach to providing our services from most
of the management companies.
We make an effort not to except
assignments unless we have enough trained and certified managers to
successfully carry out such duties.
We manage every association and rental
property in a proactive manner by anticipating problems and solving them well
before they become apparent to the board of directors or to the property
owners. Our formal training and vast knowledge in association and rental-housing
management enables us to see developing and lurking problems that other
managing agents may miss, consider unimportant, or just do not care about.
We endeavor to maintain a consistently
high level of customer service and performance quality. High standard of
customer service and professionalism are the qualities upon we have been
building our business. We do not intend to grow so big that we fail to fully
promote and protect the interest of our greatest assets – YOU.
The same
general philosophy guides us in our real estate business. Our fiduciary duty compels us to closely
follow the instructions of sellers and buyers and to act in a manner we believe
is in the best interest of them. In
short, we look out for their best interest, putting our own personal and
business interest behind. From the
beginning to the end of the selling and buying process, we constantly evaluate
situations to formulate actions that we know would benefit our clients.
